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.”
— Steve Drake
“I’ve just finished the TAB Course.
— Juri Kinoshita
It was step-by-step and easy to follow, but it also provided enough practice to build my confidence in reading TABs on my own.
After completing the course, I started practicing “Please Please Me” using Stu’s video tutorial. I found it so much easier to read the TAB and I can play the Beatles song nicely now.”
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.
