Before we jump into the contents of the Ukulele Blues Mastery book, let's break down the type of ukulele you can use for this book. Any size ukulele, soprano, concert, or tenor tuned G-C-E-A will work for this course. Although the Blues sounds best on a ukulele with a Low G string (wound or unwound low G), a ukulele with a High G will work for all these lessons. Although a High G ukulele works, Uke Like The Pros highly suggests either putting on a Low G on your current ukulele or getting another ukulele that has Low G. You can visit store.uklelikethepros.com for any help with either.

The Uke Like The Pros Ukulele Blues Mastery book is a step-by-step introduction to the Blues, which means each lesson will build upon the next, so that you develop the proper techniques and confidence you need to become a Uke Blues Master.

One of the key concepts in this book is understanding the difference between Swing and Straight Feel. This is extremely important to not only understand the differences between Swing and Straight, but to be able to flawlessly execute the two styles. Blues Swing is the primary style you hear in the Blues Shuffle, Boogie Woogie, Jazz Blues, Walking Blues, and Slow Blues. Straight Blues is a faster, more driving style that you'll hear in Blues Rock (ala Chuck Berry and Little Richard), Jump Blues, Fingerstyle Blues, and Country Blues. Don't worry if you don't understand this concept right now; you will by the time you are done with the Ukulele Blues Mastery book by Terry Carter.

Although the Ukulele Blues Mastery book will focus on understanding the different styles of Blues rhythms and styles, it does explore other topics that I know you are interested in, such as Fingerstyle Blues, Blues Scales, and the Blues Solo.
