Guitar Studies Vol. 1: Ukulele

This book is meant to be utilized as a quick sight-reading study guide as well as a supplementary resource for any guitar classroom or personal study endeavor. Each exercise is a developmental drill meant to create fretboard familiarity in the 1st through 11th positions on the Low G Ukulele. Daily consistent practice of 3-4 exercises is recommended for optimum learning. The book includes whole, half, quarter, 8th, 16th, and dotted note variations in the first position. Additionally, it includes reading position exercises in keys ranging from 0-3 flats and sharps from the 1st-11th position. This is great for locating flats and sharps up and down the fretboard. Throughout my teaching experience, I have found that including at least 4 different ways to locate the notes on the fretboard has given my students more understanding of note placement. Standard notation, Tablature, Cuban Tablature, and Chord/Note Diagrams are the mediums that I use to help with fretboard familiarity and visualization. All 4 methods are rarely presented in a guitar method book.  
The book series will continue to grow in page content, reading levels, and multiple fretted instruments like Ukulele, Mandolin, Bass, etc. I hope you enjoy this Beginning to Upper-Intermediate level book.
