"Great for ukulele too!" according to Amazon Customer. I've strung up a spruce topped Lanikai tenor ukulele in low G using a Worth brown low G string. I've enjoyed collecting folk songs to play and sing using this instrument. I found this book interesting in giving a history of folk and bluegrass music. I also discovered new songs I hadn't been aware of before. I use Google to search for more chords and verses and come up with very nice versions of the songs. This book was worth every penny and even gives just enough music theory to be helpful but not overwhelming. Highly recommended!. Rev. Elliot said great review and inclusion of many original songs that fill. great review and inclusion of many original songs that fill in the questions many have had.--the music is there as well--very complete for musicians and people whose interest delves deeper than just literature. If you want to appreciate Bluegrass music. William J. Gothard If you are at all interested in the history of gospel, bluegrass, or country music, then you must read this book. Thoroughly researched and entertaining, Rural Roots" is another winner by Wayne Erbsen.
