BOOK || Hal Leonard EZ Guitar || Selections from O Brother Where Art Thou?

Here's another book that I found on sale. It is a Hal Leonard book with notes and tablature. There are 11 songs including Alison Kraus' "Down to the River to Pray" that is played solely on the DGBE strings.

Also handy for Bari players would be:

• Keep on the Sunny Side
• I am a Man of Constant Sorrow
• I'll Fly Away
• Didn't Leave Nobody But the Baby

So 5 of the 11 are already set for the Bari.

BOOK || Stefan Grossman || Country Blues Guitar

Gryphon Strings in Palo Alto, California is having quite a sale on their music books prior to the holidays so I have purchased a few because I am a consumming robot. These Mel Bay books are made specifically for guitar but the come in standard notation AND tablature AND 3 CD's with over three hours of instruction that break down the music into bite-sized chunks. AND these are old country tunes from african-american musician from the early 1900's AND the old recordings are also played in full.

Anyone who likes hearing Del Rey's music will enjoy hearing "Keep it Clean." I am looking at these books from a baritone ukulele adaptation perspective and (unfortunately) all of the tunes are tabbed using the guitar's 5th and 6th strings. Sometimes these are alternating base patterns. I will be investigating adaptations to use the D-string for this effect.

BOOK || Ukulele Slack Key || David Heaukulani

It has been a while since I posted a book on Humble Baritonics. I would like to have this site a bit more organized. Google Blogger offers a very clean blog format that has many possible upgrades but there are also several limitations. Hopefully, you're enjoying the blog just fine. I have posted a few videos of UkeUncle and some Ukulele Slack Key. I found this book for sale on eBay or Amazon a while back and my Inner Consumer just had to have it.

This book works for both GCEA ukuleles AND DGBE Baritone ukuleles. There are 152 numbered pages in the book and it notes that there are videos on the internet that the book works with. UkeUncle plays a Baritone Ukulele in these videos. The slack key tuning for the Baritone is DGBD which is a very minor adjustment! This book is suitable for anyone wishing to learn but very well suited to an intermediate player.

I was helping my wife at her craft show in Napa Saturday when this came due on eBay and lost :<(. But will keep an eye out for this one in the future...

Found a copy on Amazon :<).
