This book contains 30 ukulele duets, especially arranged for an absolute beginner and a slightly more advanced player. It features melodies from various musical genres, including American folk and gospel tunes, classical favorites, and Christmas carols. The unique element about these settings is that the Ukulele 2 part is played entirely on open strings while the Ukulele 1 part lies comfortably within the first three frets. Each arrangement is written in standard notation and tablature making note reading a breeze.If there is someone in your life who you think might benefit from exposure to a musical instrument, put a uke and this book in their hands and watch the magic happen.
