Recenzijos

"Unique in many ways and goes where others feared to tread. What this book has that others lack, is a real maturity in its breadth. For starters, Dan has been playing Ukulele for over 60 years. Essentially, this manual has everything an aspiring ukulele player might hope for in a starters guide." * Lil Rev *
