This book is a collection of 30 progressive, (from easy to intermediate) Christmas, ukulele solos lovingly arranged by Gary Stewart. These songs are arranged for (high g)-C-E-A (standard tuning) tuned ukuleles. All of the songs are in easy to read tablature and come with chord symbols as well. The songs also contain left hand fingerings. Also, all songs contain the original, complete lyrics. This book would be ideal for the aspiring ukulele player, or the advanced player looking for Christmas solos that easily sight readable. Most songs contain illustrations which help to bring the music to life. The concept for this book was to make the majority of the arrangements stay within the first position, and then slowly have them progress in difficulty throughout the book. Moreover, even though most of the arrangements are easy in difficulty, great care has been taken to ensure the arrangements have a full accompaniment, and act as fully functioning solos. Even though they are classified as "easy," they are still usable by even the most advanced players. This book can be used a gig book, as a method supplement, or just a traditional Christmas songbook. Lastly, as students advance through the book they will improve their technique, add pieces to their repertoire, and be the life of the Christmas party.
