The best £3.87 I've ever spent. I bought a Uke just under a month ago and was trying to use YouTube and a book my hubby bought (which was good but seemed to focus on plucking rather than strumming tunes.) I was doing ok but I was getting frustrated with strumming evenly and in time and also then singing along. I was all but giving up on being able to play which annoyed me as I can already play another instrument (the flute) so was expecting it not to be so difficult learning another.
This book saved me from throwing my Uke out the window. The video tutorial was immensely helpful and encourages you to work up towards playing a tune at the proper speed and then singing along. You can replay as many times as needed. Now I have the background understanding of how the strumming works and some of the patterns I'm finding I can pick up tunes off YouTube or elsewhere and play them much more easily.
For those buying it as an ebook, don't worry you still get access to the video like you would I'd you had a hard copy. There is a link at the front of the book to click and you register with your email (the one attached to your Amazon account). The added bonus of the ebook is it's pennies compared to a hard copy.

Good for learning but not exciting.
