Par . The ukulele is becoming more and more popular, and more and more guitarists are getting involved with the 4-stringed little sister of the guitar. Especially for this group, the alternative tuning of the ukulele with a low G-string ('low G') is interesting, because not only the range is enriched, but also the feeling of playing with a low string is very reminiscent of a guitar. The melody-chord playing in this songbook uses techniques of classical guitar as well as folk guitar and combines chords with the song melody to create rousing arrangements, all of which have proven themselves in lessons and have been written by the experienced author and pedagogue Patrick Steinbach to be easy to moderately difficult. / Date parution : 2023-09-13/ Recueil / Ukulélé Sol Grave

The Little Instrument That Helped Create a Guitar Giant-The Martin Ukulele is a detailed look at the ukuleles built by the C. F. Martin Co. of Nazareth, PA, and at how the instruments' success forever changed the company that made them. Martin's ukulele-making led the small,respected builder of fine guitars and mandolins into an era of unprecedented growth in the 1920s and helped it become one of the most legendary manufacturers of high-quality guitars in the world.Drawing heavily from theextensive archives at the Martin factory, the book examines the company and its development, from production records, sales ledgers, and a vast collection of correspondence to hundreds of photos, including many of the rarestukuleles the company produced. Extensive additional imagery chronicles the history of the popularity of the ukulele itself.The book is both a narrative about Martin's ukulele manufacturing history and a reference workdetailing the numbers of each style of ukulele ever made by the company. It is an exploration from Martin's first attempt at production in 1907, to the peaks of ukulele popularity in the 1920s and '50s, to the disinterest thatcaused Martin to cease ukulele production in the 1990s, to the recent resurgence that has allowed the firm to again offer a wide assortment of new models.
