About This Book
A careful analysis of the unsatisfactory methods here­tofore published, and athorough study of the different styles of playing used by the best performers on the Ukulele, no two of which play alike, has led us to compile this work which comprises the best and most practicable features of all. Prepared especially for self study, great care has been taken in giving the instructions in the simplest form and language. By our copyrighted system no knowledge of music is necessary and any person who will follow the instructions carefully will very quickly acquire a proficiency which will result in much enjoyment from the instrument. There are a-sufficient number of exercises, diagrams etc..each explained in detail,to make every step perfectly plain. The entire work is arranged in a consistently pro­gressive manner, making it ideal for teacher's use. N. B. BAILEY
