. The book contains 26 traditional Celtic songs and instrumentals from Ireland, Scotland, Wales and Cornwall expertly arranged for baritone ukulele.
. Easy and easy-intermediate fingerstyle (or classical style) arrangements presented in both standard notation and tablature.
. Most of the pieces are in a two-voice texture. That is, they include a bass line to be played with the thumb while the other fingers play the melody. In the one-voice pieces, chords are provided for an optional accompaniment by another ukulele or guitar. In addition to the melody and chords, lyrics are included for two of the songs.
. The final piece is a fingerstyle duet in which both ukuleles have an interesting part to play.
. A brief music theory lesson is included regarding the modes one finds in Celtic music. In addition, there is a helpful Glossary, a Notation Guide and Chord Charts for the most frequently used chords on baritone ukulele.
. This book, and others by Ellen S. Whitaker, can be previewed at the author's website: EllenWhitakerGuitar.com.
