About this ebook

The ukulele has had a place in American acoustic music for decades; recently, however, interest in the instrument has surged. Historically overlooked by traditional bluegrass groups, the ukulele - an indispensable component of many newgrass bands - is becoming increasingly featured in bluegrass-at-large, often performing the roles traditionally associated with the mandolin. Ukulele Bluegrass Solos will teach you how to use the uke in any bluegrass setting. It demonstrates a variety of roles for the uke, presenting various concepts in the context of the repertoire associated with the genre.
