Welcome back to FastTrack!

Hope you enjoyed Ukulele 1 and are ready to play some hits. Have you and your friendsformed a band? Or do you feel like soloing with the audio tracks? Either way, get readyitstime to jam!

The eight songs in this book use notes and chords you learned in Ukulele 1, so youre alreadyahead of the game! Feel free to play either the melody notes or strum the chords, but dontforget the three P s: P atience, P ractice and P ace yourself.

As with Ukulele 1, dont try to bite off more than you can chew. If you get frustrated, put downyour uke, relax and just listen to the audio. If you forget a chord or note position, go back andlearn it. If youre doing fine, think about booking a gig!

Each track is preceded by count-off clicks to help you feel the beat before the musicstarts.

W e know youre eager to play, but first we need to explain a few things. Well make it briefjust one page

Song Structure

Most songs have different sections, which might be indicated by any or all of the following labels:

INTRODUCTION (or intro): This is a short section at the beginning that (you guessed it!)introduces the song to the listeners.

VERSES: One of the main sections of a song is the verse. There will often be several verses,all with the same music, but each with different lyrics.

CHORUS: Another main section of a song is the chorus. There might be several choruses,but each one will usually have the same lyrics and music.

BRIDGE: This section makes a transition from one part of a song to the next. For example,you may find a bridge between the chorus and the next verse.

OUTRO: Similar to the intro, this section brings the song to an end.

Endings

These are indicated by brackets and numbers:

Simply play the song through to the first ending, then repeat back to the first repeat signor the beginning of the song (whichever is the case). Play through the song again, but skipthe first ending and play the second ending.

D.S. al Coda

When you see these words, go back and repeat from this symbol: d Play until you see the words To Coda and skip to the Coda, indicated by this symbol: c Now just finish the song.

D.S. al Fine

Just like D.S. al Coda, go back to the d symbol. Play until you see the word Fine(pronounced FEE-nay). Its an Italian word that means the end, so now youve finishedthe song.

OK, youre good to go! Enjoy the music
