The First Step - How to Play the Ukulele and Ukulele Banjo

This is a vintage guide to learning how to play the banjo and ukulele. It is aimed at players with little to no previous experience with the instruments, initially walking them through the very basics from holding the instrument to strumming and picking out their first notes. Also included are various easy-to-play songs, with both the musical score and tablature. Contents include: "Tuning", "Holding the Instrument-Left Hand", "Strumming", "Fingering", "Fingering Illustrated", "Drink to Me Only", "Early One Morning", "Old Folks at Home", "Roll Strokes", "The Minstrel Boy", "Ellie Rhee", "Juanita", "Believe me if all those Endearing Young Charms", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on the history of the ukulele and the banjo.
