I just finished a new book last night and I want you guys to have it. It's a compilation of 30 arpeggios in all of the keys for ukulele. I hope it will be a decent contribution to increasing the amount of intermediate-to-advanced literature for our ukulele repertoire.

The book itself is here:

Print it out two-sided and put it in a binder.

The sound files for each song are here:

Let me know what you think.

Wow - I was just trying to figure out some basic music theory and was thinking how I really wanted to learn all the chords in certain keys. Thank you so much - your timing is totally perfect. This is so generous :)
 
Wow is right! Gary, this is awesome, really awesome. I've only played thru a few pages so far, but these are excellent exercises for fingerpicking and learning theory and what chords go in a key.

Really impressive work and thank you so much! :)
 
Thank you for sharing your hard work on this. I look forward to using this in my journey!
 
I just printed the booklet and realized that you're also the person who created the circle of fifths template I already have at the front of my uke binder. I wanted to thank you for that too - it's so clear and so detailed, I'm a noob (especially when it comes to theory), and that little document has totally changed my musical life! Thanks so much!
 
This is incredibly generous - thank you!
 
Really great! Thank you so...much!
 
Wow ... I really needed this. Many thanks!
 
Wow what a great collection of beautiful Etudes.

As a classical guitarist, I can tell you these are right up there with Sor and Gulliani...


Great stuff. Thank you so much for sharing this. :bowdown:

Both the scores and the sound files are marvelous! :shaka:
 
Hi everyone. Thank you so much for the warm compliments. I really do hope the Jumping Flea Arpeggiator will be a helpful tool for anyone who wants to become a more accomplished musician. Please make sure your ukulele maddened friends have a copy of the pdf file. I have a dream that this file is on every ukulele player's hard drive ... waiting for the time when they just need an arpeggio to make it through the day. :)

I'll definitely be printing this out! Thanks a lot!
 
I just started on these yesterday, and they are awesome. Thanks so much.
 
Just found some remarks/corrections in the german Ukulelenclub Forum which I would like to share for further discussion/consideration:
Jens on Ukulelenclub.de said:
Great stuff, but the closed minor chords are not always correct, e.g. Gm (first mentioned in Key of D minor on p. 8) is listed as 5765 which sounds a bit strange. Should rather be 0765, 7765 or 3765.
Similar problem with F#m (Key of A on p. 26): listed as 4654, should be 6654 (or eventually 2124).

Apart from that, excellent training for both hands and easy to learn with the included MP3s.
