Philip Pullman "A jollier than usual teach yourself manual... also an encyclopaedia-cum-history of 'all things uke'" The Oldie "As someone who seems to spend all my waking hours immersed in the ukulele, I learned much from this book. Beautifully presented and illustrated throughout... Highly recommended." Got A Ukulele (Barry Maz) "Witty, informative and opinionated. I heartily recommend picking up a copy."

Review: A great Read and lots of info on all things Ukulele! Bravo! - Will Grove-White who is a member of the great Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain, has written a very entertaining and informative book on the History and mechanics of playing Ukulele. While I'm an experience player, I found it to be a fascinating read both in the contents and the beautiful layout. Lots of tidbits and inside info on the ukulele world and the UOGB. Even though I have read and own all the books I could find about the history of the Ukulele, Get Plucky brings a fresh view with good narrative, plenty of information and lots of fun anecdotes. I highly recommend this book as a must have addition to any Ukulele enthusiast, be it a beginner or an advanced player. Well done Will, Well done! Review: An outstanding, fun introduction to a wonderful, fun instrument - A bit over a year ago I bought my first ukulele and this book. Those purchases are among the best I've ever made. The book is outstanding--fun to read, lots of background on the instrument and, from my perspective, the right amount of instructional material to get a beginner started. The instruction is sound, and Will presents it clearly, effectively and in a light-hearted manner that encourages the beginner simply to have fun. The book is meant to be a starting point, and it provides the background that will allow the reader to begin attending jams, learning more songs and otherwise building skill. I've shared it with friends who I've encouraged to take up the uke, and all have found it useful and fun. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #3,631,468 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #59 in Ukuleles (Books) #1,136 in Music Appreciation (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 753 Reviews | ## Images ![Get Plucky With The Ukulele: A Quick And Easy Guide To All Things Uke - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71PDertttTL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great Read and lots of info on all things Ukulele!

Those purchases are among the best I've ever made. The book is outstanding--fun to read, lots of background on the instrument and, from my perspective, the right amount of instructional material to get a beginner started.

The "Jumpin' Jim" series is outstanding. Get Plucky covers in detail the history of the uke, famous players (pluckers), types of ukes, etc. It is a very interesting book, but I repeat it is more about the instrument and less about learning songs. It is amazing how popular this instrument is and how pluckers pluck it all over the globe. I wish the author would have written a piece about the banjolele (ukulele in the shape of a short-necked banjo) as played in Brazil. It is used to play tunes also played by the cavaco (cavaquinho), a cousin to the ukulele. The big difference in sound is the volume. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/8086036-get-plucky-with-the-ukulele-a-quick-and-easy-guide](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/8086036-get-plucky-with-the-ukulele-a-quick-and-easy-guide) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-08-29*
