Bob Marley for Ukulele Paperback – November 1, 2014

I'm pleased with this Bob Marley Ukulele book. If you're a fan of the Daily Ukulele (Jumpin' Jim Beloff), then you're in luck because this Bob Marley songbook follows a similar layout/pattern. You get the full lyrics and chord changes, but you also get the melody "staff" lines.So if you can read music, you can pick out the melody lines here (I am trying to teach myself that piece, so this is good for that).Size-wise, the book is about the same dimensions as the Daily Ukulele, but much skinnier. However, this is not in a spiral, which might have been a little better.Also, the font on this is extremely B I G and spaced out. Most of the songs take up 3-4 pages. This requires page-flipping throughout every song, which is a little annoying. If you had some copier-machine-skills, you could easily condense this book down significantly.Overall though, it's a great book for Bob Marley / Ukulele fans.Songs:Buffalo SoldierCould You Be LovedExodusGet Up Stand UpI Know a Place (where we can carry on)I Shot the SheriffIron Lion ZionIs This LoveJammingLively Up YourselfNo Woman No CryOne LoveRedemption SongRoots, Rock, ReggaeSatisfy My SoulSo Much Trouble in the WorldStir It UpSun is ShiningThree Little BirdsWaiting in Vain

Who can say anything negative about a Bob Marley ukulele songbook? Having lots of fun with the easy to play chords.

It contains all of Bob's iconic songs notated in large easy to see staff notation. Reading includes many syncopations and frequent use of the upper positions of the ukulele fingerboard, so not a beginner's book. The lead sheet style notation means this book is universal use for any G-clef instrument. Of course, if you use it for guitar or piano you'll need to know how to play chords from the chord symbol, e.g., Csus4, since the chord diagrams are uke only. The main drawback is large notes makes for too many page turns. I'd prefer smaller notes and closer staves and less page turns. Also, this is a notes and chord symbol only book so no tablature for non-note readers.

I bought this for my my eldest son for Christmas.

Great book. Easy to learn songs

book was new, delivery was fast. Love it.

Great book to learn all the notes with the correct timing on words. Love it.

I.m not a great ukulele player and found the transcribed music very helpful. No magic though, i'm going to have to practice practice practice.
