A favorite jazz book of mine.
Thoroughly enjoy!!! Most of the instructions/hints are written in Japanese but if you can read tab, the music is easy to follow, well written and relatively easy to play. I'm so glad I bought it. It has become my daily practice book. A young lady plays many of the tunes on youtube and the book comes with a cd. If you like playing fingerstyle jazz buy this book.Read full review...

ukulele jazz
I ordered this book from japan I live in England it came in about a week by airmail. The arrangements are fairly simple but sound great. The cd that came with the book is excellent you can listen to a song being played and hear all the nuances as he plays.
If you have the time to sit and learn each section slowly. Then you will soon be playing songs to a great standard. I know at £30 odd pounds it seems expensive but I think it is worth every penny.Read full review...

Exactly what you hear either Lami Jeong or the author playing on YouTube. Excellent.
This is a great book with the music arranged for standard tuning on the ukulele, not the low G tuning. It has both the notes and tabulature and the titles are in English but please be aware that everything is written in Japanese. This is probably not a book for beginners but having said that, with enough practice even a beginner may be able to handle the pieces. Learn a couple of pieces and you will realise that he uses a lot of the same chords in all of the pieces.
I recommend the book to anyone who likes his arrangements and is willing to do a little practise.Read full review...

Difficult for beginners, but something to work towards.
Just started learning Tab, and how to read music, this is going to be a difficult one to begin with, and the Japanese text not helpful... Google translate works a bit with that tho. However, with a bit of time and effort it's beginning to sound a bit like the recordings. Nicely arranged.Read full review...

Pricey but worth it
CD is at good speed to learn from. Book is mostly very clear, but some stuff in Japanese. Not for a beginner but excellent to aspire to.
