The Chord Melody Book for Ukulele

The Chord Melody Book for Ukulele by Guido Heistek 

Chord Melody is the art of playing chords and melody at the same time. It is a solo ukulele technique that allows you to play beautiful and complete song arrangements on your own. This book will show you how to do it, step by step.

Two versions are provided of each arrangement in the book: one sparse and beginner-friendly, and another more technically challenging for the more advanced player. Each arrangement works equally well on high-G or low-G instruments. Links to online video demos and detailed performance notes are provided. The flexible and innovative layout also features the chords, lyrics and melody; so you can strum and sing the song, or pick the melody on its own, before you embark on learning the chord melody arrangement. Everything you need for your solo ukulele adventure!
