Publisher's Synopsis
(Ukulele). The Ultimate Ukulele Fake Book comes with hundreds of songs to strum, and a whole lot of history. Dating back to the 1940s, jazz musicians used "fake books" for their nightly gigs. These books contained basic melodies or chords the cliff notes of full compositions enough for musicians to "fake" their way through a song. Now ukulele players have an all-in-one resource for auditions, gigs, jam sessions, or simply playing at home. Written in standard G-C-E-A tuning, The Ultimate Ukulele Fake Book is a must-have for any uke enthusiast looking to expand their repertoire. It's bound with a plastic comb so it can lay flat on your music stand. Each song is curated with melody, lyrics, and chord diagrams for quick-learning and easy-playing. Featuring contemporary hits and favorites spanning the last several decades, this book has a little bit of everything.
