For Four Fingers

New campanella pieces for re-entrant ukulele

Cover of For Four Fingers

For Four Fingers is a collection of ten one-minute pieces for re-entrant ukulele. They are, mostly, simple melodies where the movement of the fretting hand has been intentionally restricted to the four frets at reach in a single position.

The limited print edition of 25 numbered copies signed by the author is now sold out. The PDF edition is still available.

A growing collection of For Four Fingers performances

From the back cover

These lovely new pieces are not only a pleasure to play but they have also been carefully crafted as studies, with the focus on playing in increasingly higher positions up the neck.

Fantastic idea and a good set of pieces for beginners!

Another fine collection of original pieces by Choan and a must-have for anyone interested in fingerstyle ukulele.
