Before I bought my uke I thought I was going to pick up the guitar cos I played classical guitar as a kid. I bought a guitar and ordered a copy of Beginning Fingerstyle Blues Guitar by Arnie Berle and Mark Galbo. It was out of stock or something and took ages to arrive. By the time it got here I'd discovered the uke and was working with that & Lil' Rev's "Ukulele Method" instead. I worked hard but came out if it feeling like I couldn't actually play much more than a few chords and read simple tunes. I guess it was a start.
Anyway it's a year on, life got in the way, and the uke gathered some dust. I picked Fingerstyle Blues Guitar book off the shelf and looked and listened to the CD. I'm fired up again and remembering that it was fingerstyle & blues that got me in to start with. The trouble is that I want to play the uke not the guitar. I guess I could work through it with the guitar and then figure out how to do what I learn on the uke but it seems like a long way around - and I'm not feeling very young...
I guess what I need is a good book on blues for the uke. Not just a song book but one that teaches it like the guitar one does. Is there such a thing?
