Music reading on the ukulele is the most important thing you can do as a uke player. Not being able to read music is the single biggest factor that will hold your playing back. You know deep down that you need to read music, yet most you don't do it. I know what you are thinking. I want to learn ukulele to strum some chords and play my favorite song. What if I told you that if you could read music, that you would play chords and strum your favorite songs better than you ever have before? I can already hear the doubts creeping into your mind, yet what I'm telling you is 100% true and I believe this to my core. Choose any instrument you want: flute, violin, saxophone, clarinet, voice, trumpet, etc. Can you tell me the first thing each one of these instruments learns how to do? You guessed it. They learn how to read music. The first thing a band teacher does with every beginning student is put a piece of sheet music in front of them and they start reading. If you ever took a class with me or study with me privately you would read music, weather you were totally new to it or if you been reading for a while. It is something that I have always stressed with all my students. Thus, my students have seen more progress in their playing in a shorter amount of time.Maybe you learned how to do some basic music reading in the past, but the reality is that the music reading muscle gets weaker unless you use it, so start using it. How freeing would it be if you could pick up any music notation book and read the music? I'm not talking about looking at the chords and strumming along. Anyone with a little talent and effort can do that, but we don't want to just be anybody. We want to be extraordinary.I'm talking about looking at and playing that melody. I'm talking about sight reading it one time and playing each note, rhythm, dynamic, articulation, and tempo perfectly. I'm talking about making music. Free yourself from needing TAB to read or having to spend hours looking at a piece of music and trying to figure out where to play each note.It's an amazing feeling knowing that I can take any piece of music, whether it's a vocal melody, a flute song, or even a piano arrangement and play it like the composer meant it to be played. The Uke Like The Pros Beginning Music Reading For Ukulele book by Terry Carter is your answer.

Welcome to the Guitarlele Blues Mastery book by Uke Like The Pros and written by Terry Carter. This book is the most comprehensive book written for Blues on the Guitarlele in the world. In the Guitarlele Blues Mastery book you are going to learn how to play all styles of Blues Rhythm, Blues Fingerstyle, and Blues Picking on this wonderful six-string instrument called the guitarlele. In this book you are going to explore all the techniques and tools that you need to become a Guitarlele Blues Master. You are going to learn Blues Shuffle, Walking Blues, Blues Rock, Fingerstyle Blues, Boogie Woogie Blues, Jump Blues, Country Blues, Slow Blues, Jazz Blues, Blues Scales, and Blues Soloing. Before we jump into the contents of the Guitarlele Blues Mastery book, let's break down the guitarlele. The guitarlele, also known as the guilele or guitalele, is a 6-string ukulele that is tuned (from low to high) A-D-G-C-E-A. Strings 1-4 (G-C-E-A) are the same as a ukulele, but the guitarlele adds the low D and A strings. Guitarleles typically come in two sizes, the tenor (17-inch scale length) and the baritone (20-inch scale length). Scale length is the measurement from the inside of the nut to the inside of the saddle. Some of the top guitarleles are made by KoAloha, Kanilea, Romero Creations, Kala, and Ohana. Although you could play everything in this book on the guitar (E-A-D-G-B-E), the tuning would not match the audio backing tracks that are included with this book. Nor would the tuning match the complete video course of all these lessons that is sold separately at the Uke Like The Pros website. The Uke Like The Pros Guitarlele Blues Mastery book is a step-by-step introduction to the Blues, which means each lesson will build upon the next, so that you develop the proper techniques and confidence you need to become a Blues Master. One of the key concepts in this book is understanding the difference between Swing and Straight Feel. This is extremely important to not only understand the differences, but to be able to execute flawlessly, the two styles. Blues Swing is the primary style you hear in the Blues Shuffle, Boogie Woogie, Jazz Blues, and Slow Blues. Straight Blues is a faster, more driving style that you'll hear in Blues Rock (like Chuck Berry), Jump Blues, and Country Blues. Don't worry if you don't understand this concept right now; you will by the time you are done with the Guitarlele Blues Mastery book by Terry Carter. Although the Guitarlele Blues Mastery book will focus on understanding the different styles of Blues through rhythm, it does explore other topics that I know you are interested in, such as Fingerstyle Blues, Blues Scales, and the Blues Solo. The Guitarlele Blues Mastery book is the most comprehensive book on Guitarlele and is written by Terry Carter, the leader in the Guitarlele world, youtube.com/ukelikethepros. Whether you are a beginner at the Blues, or a seasoned veteran, the Guitarlele Blues Mastery book is going to take you deep into the world of the Blues, and you will come out a better, more confident guitarlele player, who will be ready to tackle the world. Are you ready? Let's dive in.
