A few important notes as you go through the Songs:
 
These arrangements are based on the original sheet music published in the early 1900's, in most cases notated for piano and ukulele. Some of them may seem challenging at first but, we can assure you, they are playable with not much effort, as one can see in the Video section. Of course, just like anything else, it takes a bit of practice and overall understanding of how these chord patterns work.
 We try, where possible, to include the verse of the song in the arrangement and strongly believe that the poetry written for these tunes is complete only when the introduction of the lyrics is also performed. It gives life and meaning to the story.
There is a specific nomenclature used to distinguish symbols and remember things, so there are some things need explaining here. Of course, one could do an equally good job without incorporating them into the arrangement, but these little details add some extra musicality to our playing.
 
*  D7hav is the, so called, Hawaiian D7 chord (2020).
*  inv e.g. (G7inv) means an inversion of the chord suggested, other than the typical one we first learn to play on the ukulele.
*  small letters in red (or purple) stand for single notes to be played at a certain part of the song e.g. ( a..bb..b..c ). This is just a way to spice things up, make it more interesting, but one could also choose to leave them out at first and perform an easier version of the song.
* If a slash chord appears, e.g. (Bb/f) a voicing utilizing this "small letter note" as the chords highest note will suit the arrangement better.
*  cliche in music usually means the movement of a Minor chord from the tonic to its 6th degree. e.g. (Dm-Dm/maj7-Dm7-Dm6). Occasionally, there are cliche patterns for Major chords too and they will be noted in the corresponding files.
*  double stops are single notes played simultaneously, e.g. (d/f#). They are called half chords in music and, in some cases, can be a useful tool for filling space between chords.
*  riff is referring to a single note melodic phrase usually occurring at the end of a song.
*  stop is the word used in the files to indicate a break, when one is needed.
*  vamp is a repeated chord progression usually in the introduction of a song.

 Please note that little details in these papers may alter from time to time as we go through and revise them. 
 A song played is a living thing and improvements can always be made during the process.
 Listen, practice and learn new melodies and songs. But above all:
