Introducing... DUETS FOR ONE.

[@larryusselman821]

Run, do not walk, to your nearest book dealer, music shop, or online store and get a copy of this book. I've been waiting for something like this since I've been playing ukulele (~ 2 years). It's terrific!

[@DebbieCollinsMusic]

The second I found James playing his "After You're Gone' duet on youtube, I really wanted to learn this playing style. So glad I found this book. Just ordered it.

[@TheChristinemsmith]

L❤VE this book so much‼️🎶‼️

[@RajnaVilmos]

I just got your book and I am so excited like I was on the way to my first date. Several decades ago...

[@mrtonnet]

I just bought the book while watching this video. No doubt or hesitation. It's gonna open a whole new level of musical world! It's the greatest discovery of the day for me.

[@ConnorBerry]

This is going to change my entire world! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼. I cannot wait! Thank you 100 times thank you!

[@BillHart_Family_Friends]

Just purchased the book via Amazon and got it delivered yesterday! Thanks for including a link to all the digital files. Really looking forward to improving my style with this book.

[@photoguy1957]

You are so FREAKING good! I will get this, but, crap, I hope I can figure one song out! So excited to try!

[@voldem273]

Got it! Going to practice now 😜 absolutely new in Germany!

[@maximusz5797]

So basically a book for if you don't have friends to play with?

[@davidpotts1974]

Since I started playing uke I have less friends... Maybe my friends just have no taste!

[@jameshillmusiq]

LOL!

[@HeleneLogan]

Hee!

[@ConnorBerry]

Maximus Z 😂😂😂😂

[@Sundrop-Dancer]

Relatable 😶

[@joka2966]

I've been wating for something like this since I finished theukuleleway! Thanks James

[@jameshillmusiq]

You said it! It's the perfect addition to The Ukulele Way material. Enjoy! www.theukuleleway.com for those who want to check it out.

[@nineleafclover1477]

I just want to say you and Bela Fleck are my two biggest inspirations. I love this book and Cheek to Cheek is my new favorite song to play, aside from Assam/Like a Bird :) Thank you so much!

[@stuartwrigglesworth9339]

Love this Jazz .

[@KCC1955]

Bravo James! I love the simple complexity of these arrangements and can't wait for my book to arrive. You've given me yet one more thing to aim for. Thanks!

[@DebbieCollinsMusic]

You simply must get this. I've had it a month and love it (Calluses blossoming). It definitely has some beginner songs -- e.g. "l Saw The Light" typically uses only 2 strings! "L-O-V-E" , intermediate IMHO, has a beautiful arrangement. "After You've Gone" is a lil tougher but worth all effort.

[@lidwineberkman-schijf234]

Wow, I really want to learn this! Thank you James, for the inspiration and possibility!

[@hungtong5384]

Placed my order! Thanks James! Can't wait to get it!

[@alexanderclaes6473]

Didn't know you wrote out a book, ordered it straight away!

[@walterostarly4715]

Been following you for a long time. Excited to get my hands on a copy! Will be ordering this weekend.

[@marilynrigby4553]

Hi James! I love Duets for One! What are the chances of you playing entire pieces, here? I don't need a whole lesson, but it would be great to be able to watch your fingering. I'm currently working on Georgia On My Mind, and even the short demo helped.

[@jameshillmusiq]

Thanks, Marilyn. I may get some videos for Duets For One ready for the New Year. Stay tuned!

[@ludoor]

Hi James ! I've bought the book, but I can't find videos of you playing some pieces... Can you help me? Thanks

[@bkinak9648]

100% agree! The book is awesome! Had it a couple months now. Working on Georgia on my mind and the short clip here REALLY helped. Would love some videos to go with the book.

[@TheClassyCoconut]

Well done James, cannot wait to get this book!

[@rotschomat]

just got the book today and already started to practice - it's great!! thank you!

[@刘吻-j8t]

rotschomat ebook？？

[@rotschomat]

no, i ordered "duets for one" and trie to play the songs :-)

[@stuartwrigglesworth9339]

Fantastic . Very nice playing

[@caitlincepeda7054]

Already placed my order! Very excited!

[@chazyvr]

I'm willing to pay for video tutorials if you plan to create them.

[@usernamemykel]

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Free is less expensive!

[@marilynrigby4553]

In your book, you often use 9th chords--In Georgia you use an E9 chord with 4645 and in After You're Gone, you use the same formation with the D9 chord--2425. When moving from the previous chord, what is the most efficient way of fingering these chords 1, 4, 2, 3 or 1, 3, 1, 2. Which do you use?

[@elbeaner98]

I bought it and its amazing so far❤ thank you man 🤙

[@FerrisFareMusic]

Looks great, James. Can't wait to get it.

[@esevetse]

Dude, i'm from Brazil and because of that it's very dificult for me to buy a physical book from outside the country. Because of that, I want to know if you will make an e-book version of this one. I really want to buy it. Thanks for the video and for the book. Peace.

[@ukemaniak]

Rafael Ventura você pode comprar na Bookdepository . com . Frete grátis, mesmo em entregas internacionais!

[@jameshillmusiq]

Good question. I have asked the publisher about this and will let you know if an eBook is in the works.

[@matth2839]

James Hill Ebook or bust! Also, as someone who can't sing a note to save his life I've always wanted to play like this but thought I was dumb for trying (and failing). Can't wait to learn how!

[@jameshillmusiq]

Just heard from the publisher that Duets For One will eventually be released as an ebook, they just can't say when exactly! It may be some time before it's available. But it will happen!

[@defyingblueprints6914]

I just bought the eBook! From bol.com which is a Dutch website, but you can find it from the publisher as well then, probably

[@TheEdmontoncanuck]

It's available on Amazon as a kindle edition... works on my iPad yippee!

[@nickcuralli5392]

James, this looks like a great resource to generate interest and repertoire. I'll be ordering the book for me and my 'uke buddy' son! Well done!

[@jameshillmusiq]

Thanks, Nick! Best wishes to you and your Uke Buddy! Mine just turned 2!

[@Ladymaggic1]

So beautiful.....

[@skipneumann1]

Cool-first time thinking about ukulele played this way! Love the Freddie Green vibe

[@marice8136]

I missed this. 😊❤

[@jonathankmiller]

Working on Plaisir D'Amour these days. Fun and beautiful!

[@Qiuvoweb]

Thank you, James! I got my book via Amazon and will start learning the tunes. This will help me out with students as they get more advanced. :-)

[@allenuber]

yup just got a little excited....lol awesome!

[@ukemaniak]

Great! Waiting... Anxious!

[@Lydibrown]

I feel so intimidated by your talent! haha

[@dustbuster9768]

Cool concept!

[@tealightuke]

Duets for One is a great book! Thanks! I learned Summertime and put a video of me playing it on my Channel. I'm also working on Don't get around much anymore!

[@MaurienDenEngelsman]

How is it that you always make me happy when you play! That's such a fine gift everytime! Thanks :) Will the book be available in Europe (Holland?)

[@jameshillmusiq]

Thank you! There will be an ebook version at some point but I don't know when it will be released. Keep an eye out for it!

[@MrBlueSky1987]

i ordered the book, gonna receive it tomorrow :D so hyped!

[@ThomasFessel]

i was lucky i got a signed one, it's great a lot to work on thanks

[@shellydianenovascotia3914]

WOW.....Love this. Just got a uke and have signed up for your lessons....this is exactly what I want to some day be able to do. I have played every day since getting it (7 days) 1-3 hours per day....love it. Do you include any of this in your online lessons for beginners?

[@grazryan]

Damn!! I want to learn that!!

[@Kwood10]

I just ordered your book 😊

[@vinnio8874]

I'm buying one!

[@franklinnash]

Wonderful!

[@wooster7571]

I'd buy this but I have a thumb issue which makes stuff difficult. I'm wondering if I'd be stuck with the Coldplay song or if there are workarounds to compensate so I can play the others? I know it wouldn't sound like the thumb but sometimes you just need to compromise.

[@trentwyczawski42]

Ordered!

[@pedrolanevert570]

Just so you know I bought this book a year ago, I really started to work with it a month ago because I'm more comfortable with my ukulele now. It is fantastic, really. Thank you for the great work. I'm looking forward for a new book even though I still have a lot of material to practice on this one. Thank you James

[@welscotch9322]

Always looking forward to a new video of you :) and as always great fun to watch. But are you okay dude? You look a bit idk , just take care of yourself. Anyway keep up the good work you were always an inspiration since i started playing the uke a year ago :)

[@Dylanm94]

Now this I want to learn

[@kitohammond]

I really enjoyed that. Good content as always. Looking forward to the book. But will there be any video accompany for the written materials?

[@jameshillmusiq]

Thanks! No video lessons as yet but it's on my to-do list.

[@peaches7487]

You're alive!!!

[@jameshillmusiq]

Still here!

[@mikechun4734]

Thank you for sharing your passion and knowledge...cant wait for the book to arrive!

[@leo959]

best style

[@dennisconklin1953]

Just got the book and I could really use some audio files of these to grok them.

[@sebastiannieto8382]

I just bought this book. Somebody know if I should use a low g tune for the songs? Thanks

[@nanemdaklee7871]

oh wow! 😍

[@刘吻-j8t]

hey dude can i get this book in china 😢😢 really really really want to buy it I have watched this first audition so many times and never get tired of it!

[@karacho1]

instant buy!

[@snoopaka]

As a baritone ukulele player how would I best use your book. Just play the shapes? Are there tabs in the book that I could use?

[@guydupont1190]

Just Great ! Do you have duets for two tutorials? My wife and I always play ukulele together and are looking for duets... Thanks

[@jameshillmusiq]

Good question. You can try Ukulele in the Classroom (www.ukuleleintheclassroom.com). All three levels are full of duet and trio arrangements. Enjoy!

[@lyndall_uke]

Got the book, thanks James. Loving it. Are you playing Summertime with only your thumb? I'm trying to learn to use my thumb with dexterity. Looking forward to the videos next year.

[@mularaikar]

i wanted your advise .i want to have only one ukelele which one would you recommend that i buy

[@hosamsaedaldeen]

hey james , first i want to thank you for sharing your knowledge , second i want to ask you if this book could be helpful to me if i play guitar

[@bobshore4235]

I have bought the book and am working on Georgia. A video would help sort out the fingering. I have looked at the intro on this introduction and the fingering you use doesnt always match the tabs ,

[@jameshillmusiq]

Hi Bob. There are many ways to make the fingering work depending on what feels comfortable for you. Uke on!

[@paulcrosby46]

Just got the book today. Looks great. I assume the arrangements work with either high or low G(?)

[@jameshillmusiq]

The book is written for high-G but can be adapted for low-G. 99% of it works either way, there are just a few passages that use the 4th string to play melody. Those would need to be altered slightly. Uke on, Paul!

[@sixfourtyfive]

Does any of the songs in the book work with low g?

[@bumblebee5926]

Wait,...does it mean there’s a CD where you play a version and I can play another???? Please let me know before I get too excited 😆. Thank you.

[@leetmeatz]

Hey James, quick question. Would these arrangements still sound good on a low G ukulele? The samples sounded great on your high G. I'll definitely be picking this up soon!

[@JoeDockrill]

JP Relvas everything sounds better on low G except George Formby

[@jameshillmusiq]

Other than a few moments that rely on the high-G string, most of the arrangements will work just fine on a low G uke. I grew up playing in low G (well, low A because of Canadian tuning) so I know it well. Enjoy!

[@bentonquest100]

That looks amazingly hard to do :(

[@sebastiannieto8382]

@@jameshillmusiq Hi james! I just got the book. Can I just play all the song in high g? How about Georgia??

[@zenbasta]

Hi, may I please ask you what kind of ukulele do you use, type,brand? Tnx

[@stonejen1]

I’m going to try this as I can’t finger pick with arthritis

[@ragamuffinukes2779]

I have arthritis & fingerpicking has been the best physical therapy for the year that i have been playing (5+ hrs a day)... i use those squeeze balls to loosen finger joints before warming up on uke... Just saying... I have found that mental deception from the Truth can prevent us from doing good things for our bodies even if it hurts at the beginning...and I am 70 yrs young...!!!

[@mrcreigs]

Only problem with the ebooks offered not just this one. The music sheets Don't enlarge with the texts??? As they are hard to read the scores .. I've had this problem with other musical ebooks as well. But this book is an awesome one .. And had to re-order the physical one. Just couldn't pass this one up !!!

[@marilynrigby4553]

I scan the music to my desktop and save as a PDF file to a sheet music folder on my desktop. Then I can zoom in and make it as big as it needs to be. It has been a godsend. With James' The Ukuleleway series, I didn't even need to do that much work. The sheet music was already there, and I only had to zoom in.

[@imuawarriors]

will the book work with 'low G' ukulele?

[@jamesgalante7967]

imuawarriors he a answered this in another comment

[@RickDean]

What Uke and size are you playing?

[@zoeyjoziee8885]

Great

[@einnutzet7151]

james, I love you 3000

[@stuartwrigglesworth9339]

Wot is that ukulele please.

[@881buddha]

Hi James, how can I buy a copy of duets for one? Thanks, Steve Edwards ;0)

[@voldem273]

Great book, would be much greater with videos, especially for the syncopation lessons. 🤪

[@stevenadler7296]

How or is there audio samples with book to help understand tab?

[@jameshillmusiq]

There are exercises to help you get started with the Duets for One style (including audio examples). But if you're not sure about how to read TAB, search for a tutorial here on KZbin. Here's one from my friends at Ukulele Underground: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fobHl5WsqseEmc0

[@michaeleverett4304]

I thought this book would have chord diagrams I was disappointed because I'm a beginner, but I like James way of chord melody

[@ukulelelegal]

TERRIFIC 😎✌🏻

[@balloon-art-pw]

like a boss

[@gennarobarra1637]

Is that a tenor or a concert?

[@greg981]

what ukulele is that?

[@cswrighty]

Can I get this in the UK?

[@jameshillmusiq]

Yes! You can order direct from Flea Market Music here: www.fleamarketmusic.com/store/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=327 or contact any of the stores listed here (they stock Hal Leonard publications) in the UK: www.halleonard.com/viewlocalretailers.do#United%20Kingdom Enjoy!

[@FimAnugrah]

you make the ordinary one becomes great

[@charliesmith122]

Not a hope I could get that from a book. But I'd definitely pay for video lessons... Except Coldplay.... I'd pay not to hear Coldplay 🤣

[@dennisconklin1953]

Oops! - I found the audio code in the book - if it was a snake it would have bitten me!

[@blacksquirrel4008]

Yeah, sure we can …
