I’ve known Jeff for a few years now. I’ve taken live lessons from him twice in the past prior to the arrival of Ukulele Corner. My wife and I have also seen him play live in restaurants several times a year when we visit Hawaii. It’s amazing how little known he is by non-musicians. We have taken locals and non-locals to see him while in Hawaii and the reaction is always the same: “He is amazing; do the people here know how good he is?” Now, if you ask musicians in Hawaii, they all know and respect him. He must keep a low profile as he is extremely humble and a really nice guy. Besides being a world class guitarist/ukuleleist, he is a terrific teacher. There are not many great players who can also teach, and his arrangements are top notch. It’s not a common occurrence when you can take lessons at a reasonable cost from a world class musician. I jumped at the chance.

This book is the first to provide instruction in playing the ukulele in a structured, progressive manner, similar to the approach to other serious musical instruments. The pieces draw from classics for other instruments (e.g., guitar, violin, keyboard) adapted to the ukulele while retaining the essence of the music.
