New e-book - Dowland on the Uke :)

Hey guys,


I've been working on arranging Dowland's wonderful lute music for the ukulele for some time now and finally I've finished a book of them!

I was surprised when I first started how well his music fits....

I was looking at the sample and was wondering if the actual product also contains the actual notes above the tablature?

I'm very happy to see such a collection is available but I have a lot of trouble just going by tabs alone.

I liked the sample, what's the range of complexity over the rest of the songs?

The book is only in tablature - sorry! But proper tablature with rhythm symbols and everything.

I've been considering doing a second version in standard notation so more people can enjoy it but I'm unsure about the demand - your comment has strongly influenced me to do it but I can't promise anything!

As far as difficulty to play or musically?

With difficulty, that is possibly the easiest piece (Dowland composed hard music and although I've made the arrangements as easy as I can, many of them are still tricky.).

I wouldn't say they're they're very difficult though, but a lot harder than my other e-book (Blame Not my Uke).


Musically, they can be very interesting - as Dowland was an exceptional composer!


I hope this helps!

Lute music should sound great on a Uke, particularly a larger one like a Tenor. Good for you for doing this!
I'll second the idea of adding "real" notation. This would let non-Uke players play your music too.
