Take your ukulele playing to the next level with Book 3 Advanced Beginner, the next essential installment in the core Pick Pluck Play! curriculum. Designed for players ready to transition beyond basic chords and simple melodies, this book introduces richer fingerstyle techniques, dynamic arrangements, and engaging musical challenges.

"Anne Ku's background in composition and pedagogy, as well as her thorough understanding of the 'ukulele, shine in these carefully crafted pieces. They are not only musically delightful, but also methodical in their approach to learning this joyful instrument."
— Daniel Ho, Six-time GRAMMY Award Winner

This volume provides structured, step-by-step guidance to help you build confidence, improve finger independence, and expand your musical repertoire. Featuring stunning watercolor illustrations by Hannah Benoit, this book combines clear pedagogy with an enjoyable, artistic learning experience.

What You Will Learn & Explore:

Foundational Techniques: Build comfort with single-string navigation, fretboard markers, and left-hand slurs (hammer-ons, pull-offs, slides, and bends).
Classic Picking Styles: Expand your rhythmic vocabulary with dedicated studies in Travis picking (Travel with Travis in the Wind) and the rhythmic Alberti bass pattern (Alberti Zucchini).
Rich Repertoire & Studies: Journey through European-inspired pieces, Andalusian cadences (I Hear Ya, Andaluza), Sicilian dance rhythms (Sense the Sicilienne), and the parallel minor expressions of the C Minor Scale Waltz.
Special Bonus Material: Conclude your musical journey with an atmospheric arrangement of Erik Satie's harmonically colorful work (Sortie on Satie), alongside a practical Chord Choreography guide and a Comprehensive Ukulele Chord Table for quick reference.

Praise for the Series:

**Please note our transit times are from the date of dispatch.** We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence.
