warnings

Two warnings:
1. There is a web service called Chordify. It promises to make a chord chart of any song you like.
Al tried it this week and could not believe how inaccurate it was. He thinks his toothbrush could do a better job!
2. Here is a nice warning. The download version of Progressive Fingerpicking pieces will appear on the Al n Ray website very soon.

Ukulele tunes in TAB & clef

Al & Ray's latest bargain download is a collection of tunes for Ukulele from all over the world.  It also contains a few useful exercises, scales and chords.  Most usefully, everything is shown in not only clef notation but also tablature - TAB - with later pieces exploring some higher frets and interesting string crossing techniques.  Fun and instructional!
