A selection of intermediate to advanced pieces by Diego Pisador (ca 1510 - 1557) adapted for the Ukulele or Renaissance Guitar, using musical notation and tablature.

Ancient music written for the modern ukulele ….. None!

Playing ancient music on the ukulele ….. Absolutely!

This collection of intermediate to advanced pieces by Diego Pisador (ca 1510 - 1557)  are adapted for the Ukulele or Renaissance Guitar, using musical notation and tablature. The pieces in this book in roughly the same order as the original books, however, not all of the original pieces are included in this book of arrangements.  When playing a soprano, concert or tenor ukulele, linear tuning is required (i.e. using a low G string). Notes about the composer and pieces are at the back of this book.
