I just got three new uke books from Guitar Center.
Two I just want to brag about..."Christmas Carols" 75 Christmas songs for the uke! and "Jumpin' Jim's 60s Uke-in." I love 60s music!
Now the third one, I have a question about.
A year ago I got Hal Leonard Ukulele Method Book 1 by Lil Rev as my starter book. I went through the book and I guess I know how to play the uke now? haha, I can look at a song and if I can get the chords, play along with it.
If I can do that much, was there a point in me getting the Hal Leonard Ukulele Method Book 2? It hasn't arrived yet, Guitar Center had to order it, but it was only like $6 so I got it. What will this book teach me? Does it go further into the actual melodies of the songs?
From my experience the first method book has been a lot of accompaniment type stuff, not a lot of melody stuff. Does anyone know if this second book goes further into melodies?
Thanks!
