From TAB course participants

“When I finished the TAB course, it opened up so much more of the ukulele for me. The method was clear, easy to follow, and gave me the confidence to move beyond strumming and start playing melodies.”

— Paul Donahue

“Before taking the course, TAB just looked like rows of numbers and I was constantly checking which string to play. Stu’s step-by-step approach made everything click. My playing is smoother, my fingers know where to go, and I’m finally beginning to play melodies with confidence.”

— Dena Sharrock

“I loved how calm and manageable the lessons felt. Nothing was overwhelming, and every exercise prepared me for the next step. By the end, I was reading ahead and enjoying the sound of my fingers playing melodies.”

Your Transformation

From Chords on Repeat to Music Under Your Fingers

Is this you now?

Stuck Playing the Same Old Chords

The same chord progressions and strumming patterns keep coming around, with nothing to break them up or create interest. You want to play melodies, riffs and musical fills, but TAB still feels like a code you have to stop and decipher.

Where you’ll be

Reading TAB and Playing with Growing Confidence

You can use TAB to explore melodies, riffs, fingerstyle and chord melody. Each new passage strengthens the connection between your eyes and fingers, helping your playing become smoother, more fluent and more musical.

How the course works

Your Eyes and Fingers Learn Together

Across 12 carefully graded lessons, you learn to understand what you see in the TAB while finding those notes on the ukulele. Each stage adds one manageable challenge, so reading and movement develop side by side.
