Provides basics of the ukulele and musical notes/staff. Music notation information also helps a lot when opening your other ukulele books. Easily fits in a gig bag pocket and does offer alternate chord fingerings.

Some chords show an optional position/*. Only downside is you can't use it very well while playing. Great for leaning cords and alternate cords.

Magic chord accompaniment guide is rather small to be read easily by indirect lamp light. Even in daylight, the # and b marks are just too small/compressed to be entirely legible. This book is comically large for something marketed as 'pocket' sized.
