Per carità non suono da tantissimo, da qualche anno.Ma ho trovato questa raccolta di spartiti davvero complessi da eseguire, dunque la mia recensione lascia un po il tempo che trova, ci tenevo solo ad evidenziarne complessità.Se avete già un buon bagaglio tecnico potrebbe fare per voi.

I saw Jake perform in Carmel, CA last month, and sat in amazement watching him play that little four stringed ukulele like it was twice its size! This book has a lot of his popular songs in it, including Bohemian Rhapsody and While My Guitar Gently Weeps (bonus song), along with the rest of the songs on the album and Hula Girls.Playing the ukulele, I've looked up to Jake and have wanted to play like him. While I don't think I'll ever get to his level, I was able to follow along the tabs in this book and other people could tell what I was playing without me having to tell them. I was happy that the book included Hula Girl, because I tend to play more non-ukulele popular songs on it and keep thinking to myself that I need to play more traditional ukulele songs.The book is made just like any other tablature book, glossy cardstock cover, glue bound on the spine. You open it up to the title page and table of contents, then there's a couple of pages with photos of Jake performing, after which it goes right into the tabs. The tabs are laid out well, have the time signature at the top and the root cords on top of each line so you could accompany with a rhythm uke. They are a good size and easy to read, too.There are no instructions on how to read the tablature included with the book, but it is pretty easy and you could do a quick google search to learn how. If you like Jake's music and want to learn how to play his songs, you can't go wrong with this book. There aren't a lot of his tabs online in the tab websites, so it's nice to have official tabs that you know are actually correct! I purchased another one of his books shortly after this one and highly recommend any of his tab books! They won't help you to play as amazingly as him, but at least you can have the right tools to try!

A gem, faithfully -- lovingly -- transcribed and notated. A must-have for any aspiring fingerstyle ukulele player and fan of Jake.

Birthday present for my sister, she loves it. Arrived quickly and well packaged, good value for what you get. Great music for a more experience ukulele player.

I enjoy jake shimabukuro and I thought i'd really like this book. So far I'm discovering that I should have reacquainted myself with these songs before buying the book. I don't actually really want to play a lot of these songs. That being said, the tabs and the notation are clear and easy to decipher. Its definitely for an advanced player with some time on their hands. I plan on learning a few of these this summer.

I have both the CD and the music book version of this album. Both versions are excellent and the music book is a "MUST HAVE" for any serious ukulele player! Highly recommended!

le cd est génial et varié. la partition est de même : accessible et claire même si on ne lit pas le solfège. les tablatures ne sont pas surchargée et sont fidèles aux enregistrements. pour les fans de jake : un must. on découvre toutes les finesse de son jeu.des moments de grand plaisir.

These are some of the best songs I know in a very clear and well laid out book. The only real issue I have is that having almost no text made the book seem very daunting and a little cold.

A master entertainer Jake captures and holds your attention as he makes this 4 stringed instrument sound like a 13 string koto, a piano, a guitar and amazingly enough also a fabulous ukulele - high energy and soft breezes all within this one collection of music.

Da ich schon imer ein großer Fan von Jake und seinen Liedern war und es mir aber viel zu schwer war, sie einfach "nach Gehör" zu spielen war ich sehr erfreut als ich gehört habe, dass es jetzt ein Buch gibt.2 Tage spaeter habe ich es mir auch gekauft und es is genau so wie ich es mir vorgestellt habe.Man sollte auf jeden Fall erwähnen, dass die Lieder(mit einer Ausnahme) wirklich nicht für Anfänger geeignet sind!Die Notation ist sehr übersichtlich und die Akkorde sind ebenfalls angegeben.Ich habe lange nach einem Ukulele-Tab-Buch für Fortgeschrittene Spieler gesucht und es endlich gefunden.Ich kann es (nicht nur für Jake Fans) SEHR empfehlen

I'm sure this is one of the most waited tab book for all the ukulele players out there. Very accurate transcription of the whole Peace,Love,Ukulele album, plus Gently Weeps and Hula Girl.Definitely not for beginners. Quite difficult stuff, a lot of finger strechings, odd time signatures and hard finger picking.

It's just sheet music though. No instructional parts, which was kind of naive of me to assume for, but at the same time, the size kind of bothers me. It's huge. It can't fit in my bookcase standing up, which can fit normal sized books and stuff, nor does it sit very well in my ukulele case. Amazing music though.
