Download or read book Play the Ukulele Like a Pro in Minutes written by A Ron Somera Songbook No 1 and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-03-10 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PLAY THE UKULELE LIKE A PRO IN MINUTES is a fingerprint-unique ukulele songbook which, after years of hard work and traveling, was put together lovingly by the Southern-California-based author Veronico "Ron" Somera, with musical notes, lyrics, chord charts, and instructions on the pages of this songbook drawn and handwritten or typed by the author himself, and, apart from showing you step-by-step just how easy it is to play the ukulele or the "uke" - that ageless instrument that has made the Pacific islands so irresistibly romantic - this one-of-a-kind songbook also gives you the original lyrics of many of those soothing classic songs (golden oldies) - you know, the kind that piano players play at hotel lobbies - and exactly what year each one of the songs was first written, and by whom (this songbook even has Christmas songs). For that alone, this book, indeed, could be a veritable Collector's Item, from an experienced musician-writer, for whom the musical instrument he loves should be spelled with its first letter capitalized -- "Ukulele." And there sure is more! Well, you, for instance, could also go beyond the songbook and order for yourself any of the latest books of this author of Oriental descent -- such as, BROWN AMERICAN - Gold Edition - Somera's autobiographical book (just, please, follow this link: https: //www.createspace.com/4689434 ), and BOLO WARRIORS - a Historical World War Novel (link: https: //www.createspace.com/4569583). Thank you.

Download or read book The First 20 Hours written by Josh Kaufman and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2013-06-13 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forget the 10,000 hour rule— what if it’s possible to learn the basics of any new skill in 20 hours or less? Take a moment to consider how many things you want to learn to do. What’s on your list? What’s holding you back from getting started? Are you worried about the time and effort it takes to acquire new skills—time you don’t have and effort you can’t spare? Research suggests it takes 10,000 hours to develop a new skill. In this nonstop world when will you ever find that much time and energy? To make matters worse, the early hours of practicing something new are always the most frustrating. That’s why it’s difficult to learn how to speak a new language, play an instrument, hit a golf ball, or shoot great photos. It’s so much easier to watch TV or surf the web . . . In The First 20 Hours, Josh Kaufman offers a systematic approach to rapid skill acquisition— how to learn any new skill as quickly as possible. His method shows you how to deconstruct complex skills, maximize productive practice, and remove common learning barriers. By completing just 20 hours of focused, deliberate practice you’ll go from knowing absolutely nothing to performing noticeably well. Kaufman personally field-tested the methods in this book. You’ll have a front row seat as he develops a personal yoga practice, writes his own web-based computer programs, teaches himself to touch type on a nonstandard keyboard, explores the oldest and most complex board game in history, picks up the ukulele, and learns how to windsurf. Here are a few of the simple techniques he teaches: Define your target performance level: Figure out what your desired level of skill looks like, what you’re trying to achieve, and what you’ll be able to do when you’re done. The more specific, the better. Deconstruct the skill: Most of the things we think of as skills are actually bundles of smaller subskills. If you break down the subcomponents, it’s easier to figure out which ones are most important and practice those first. Eliminate barriers to practice: Removing common distractions and unnecessary effort makes it much easier to sit down and focus on deliberate practice. Create fast feedback loops: Getting accurate, real-time information about how well you’re performing during practice makes it much easier to improve. Whether you want to paint a portrait, launch a start-up, fly an airplane, or juggle flaming chainsaws, The First 20 Hours will help you pick up the basics of any skill in record time . . . and have more fun along the way.
