Review: A fun and informative introduction to the Uke - Please note: While I am a member of the Vine Voices review programme, this book was purchased with my own money. - - - - - - - Author Will Grove-White is well placed to write a book about this diminutive instrument as he was, for many years, a member of the legendary 'Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain'. Uke books can broadly be split into three categories. The first (and one of the largest) is the 'How to play' group. There are myriad books on this topic which will take you from your first, faltering steps playing a 'C' chord (very commonly used and only requires one finger, so it's inevitably the first one you learn), to challenging manuals which will teach you a variety of strumming techniques, chords that you didn't know existed, let alone would want to use, and techniques such as legato, tremolo, vibrato and other things that end in 'o'. Second are the music books which will teach you to play specific songs - again, hundreds available in every genre from Folk to Classical via Christmas tunes, pop songs and more. And then thirdly, the considerably smaller category of 'Books about the Uke itself'. Mr Grove-White's book covers a good chunk of this last category, plus an introduction to playing the instrument. It's value, I feel, is in this first section. I've just finished reading another book that purports to be a history of the Ukulele and it was one of the most long-winded, rambling 'shaggy-dog stories' that I've ever ploughed though, and for every relevant Uke fact, there were ten that I could have done without. 'Get Plucky' sticks to the subject in a light-hearted and engaging manner and is, for all but the most dedicated of Ukulele students, probably the only 'About the Uke' book you'll ever need. The first sixty-odd pages covers the origins and history of the instrument, famous (and celebrity) Uke players, its heyday, its 'dark ages' and plenty more. There's a useful section for those considering their first Uke purchase - what size to get, how much to spend, what to look for in an instrument, accessories that you might need and a warning - which should be heeded - about 'Ukulele Acquisition Syndrome', a very real problem which sees money which should be allocated for sensible things clothing or Ikea furniture, spent on 'just one more Uke'. The remaining 90 or so pages form a tutorial that'll get you started, covering basic chords, your first strumming patterns and simple songs to play, plus more advanced topics such as alternate tunings, which you can come back to when you're feeling more confident. This will get you going, but stick with it and you'll soon want to either find a more comprehensive manual or, better still, grab your four-stringed friend and go off and join your local ukulele group. Highly recommended, and deserving of a place on any ukulele player's bookshelf. N.B. This book has since been republished, with a different title and cover, as 'Ukulele For Beginners : How To Play tHe Uklulele In Easy To Follow Steps'. I am reliably informed that the content is identical. Review: Perfect Ukulele Beginners Book ! - This ukulele beginners book is exactly what I was looking for! The instructions are easy to follow, and the layout is beginner-friendly. I especially appreciate the great chord diagrams and clear step-by-step guidance. It covers all the basics, and is a great resource for learning ukulele at home.

The instructions are easy to follow, and the layout is beginner-friendly. I especially appreciate the great chord diagrams and clear step-by-step guidance. It covers all the basics, and is a great resource for learning ukulele at home. Highly recommended for new players! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great background and a decent tutor as well *by A***D on 12 September 2023* If you like to know about your instrument as well as just how to play this is a great book. The star stories are a little repetitive, you could almost have just had a list of names. But the lessons start at the absolute basics and the tunes with a single chord, 2 chords etc. And most of the tunes are very recognisable if not exactly street cool. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/47883120-ukulele-for-beginners-how-to-play-ukulele-in-easy-to](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/47883120-ukulele-for-beginners-how-to-play-ukulele-in-easy-to) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-05-30*
