New ukulele book for beginners!

[bazmaz]

A bump for new forum members, do you play the uke, do you know anyone who plays the uke, or are you, perhaps, uke curious?

My book is the best priced, chart topping guide that any ukulele player needs to read! Links on posts above!

Thanks all!

[bazmaz]

Well, we are into another month and my ukulele book is still receiving great feedback. Seems only yesterday in launched so I'm delighted how many new budding players there are out there!

It's not a tutor book, it's a handbook for new players answering the multitude of questions they have that the traditional tutor books don't go into.

Thanks all!

Hi folks - not been on for a while, but for the benefit of me Kindleboards readers, can I refresh memories of my book

Seems to me now the ukulele boom is in full swing, and finding the instrument on all manner of tv shows, advertisements and the like.

If you are starting out, you might want to check my book.nits not a tutor book, more of an owners manual for new players!

Have loved the experience writing this and the feedback I've had. The feel good instrument!

Another week of strumming!

Nice to get a couple of emails this week from new players who said the book really helped them out. One had read it after playing uke solo for a couple of weeks, then ventured to her first ukulele club. It was brilliant to read that she felt that she wasn't intimidated and was able to talk uke with some players who had been at it for years! Great stuff

The book went back in to the top 20 Kindle Music books in the UK this week, and as always, eternally grateful.

Any new members on here thinking of playing the ukulele or have just started, give me a buzz - happy to help with any issues or gripes

Best wishes all!

I always thought it would be fun to play the ukulele. 

[bazmaz]

John - give it a go - the beauty of the uke is twofold

a) - they can be bought cheaply
b) - the initial learning curve is very shallow, so most people pick up basics quickly

Beyond that of course, you can then spend a lifetime learning, and buy ukes that cost thousands, but the key is that neither are essential to have fun

You might be pleased to learn that on Kindle store and Smashwords I have halved the price of the book for the Christmas season, and it will stay that way until end of December.

Would be great to hear of another strummer!

UPDATE

my uke guidebook has now been reduced in price by HALF for the Christmas season, and will stay that way until end of the year!

Went top ten in the UK kindle music book chart too!

Thinking about getting a uke for Christmas? Read this guide to help you choose.

Well, I'm suspecting that there are a fair few new ukuleles being considered this Christmas - if book sales are anything to go by. During this week, my ukulele handbook went to the very top of the kindle music book chart in the UK!

http://www.amazon.com/What-Ukulele-Players-Really-ebook/dp/B004JN11WK/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1323031765&sr=1-1

If you are buying a loved one a uke, make sure they check out the book - its packed with tips for the new player, including advice on how to buy an instrument!

[bazmaz]

Well the sale price has certainly helped the rankings - been in and out of the top 10 music books on UK Kindle chart for couple of weeks now.

BIG thanks to anyone who bought!

[bazmaz]

Hope you are all well and truly looking forward to Christmas. Last few days now to grab my book at half price!

Links in thread above.

All the very best!

[bazmaz]

Well, 2011 ended very well, with my book hitting number one music referenc book again in the UK and making the top ten in the USA.

Technically the half price sale ended at the close of the year, but amazon want to wait til new price via Smashwords, Barnes & Noble etc filters thru before they adjust the kindle price up again.

Therefore, the good news is you can still grab it half price. Not sure when they will action the change though,

Happy New Year all!

Still selling very well and not dropped out of the top 10 music reference section on Amazon UK for some time now!

Book still doing well, and great to see so many readers of the first book get in touch and let me know they enjoyed the follow up. Any questions let me know. Also, keep an eye out for my new chord book coming soon.

[bazmaz]

My follow up to the bestselling beginners uke book - on kindle and also in paperback!

http://www.amazon.com/More-Ukulele-Players-Really-ebook/dp/B0075KOZF4/ref=sr_1_2?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1333905528&sr=1-2

[bazmaz]

And a reminder of the one that started it all. The first book in my trio, and still the best selling.

One for beginners - aimed to build background knowledge to owning a ukulele.

Still troubling the music book charts 

http://www.amazon.com/What-Ukulele-Players-Really-ebook/dp/B004JN11WK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1335695262&sr=8-1

This is the book that started it all - not a tutor book, but an owners handbook aimed at beginners. I wrote it because the tutor books that are out there just don't tell you what you really want to know - yes they give you chord shapes and a few simple songs, but where do they advise on what to buy? How to change strings? How to hold the uke, store it, clean it. This book aims to plug the gaps!

[bazmaz]

Still rocking the Amazon Charts - and, changed the cover too!
