William Shakespeare
& Francesco Petrarca (Melodified)

The sheet music is readily playable on a baritone ukulele, but if you don't own one, use the bottom four (highest pitched) strings on a guitar ... you know, the guitar under your bed for the last 20 years? If you can read tablature, you'll be fine playing these on a regular ukulele tuned with a low 4th string, but the standard notation and chord grid names will be wrong. You could also use a tenor banjo tuned Chicago style. Shakespeare on the banjo ... yup. The struggle is over.
