Lesson Series
A Lesson Series is a curated set of lessons in a somewhat logical order of study. With so many lessons on LearningUkulele.com it can be a bit overwhelming at times to find what you are looking for or answer the question, "What next?" I (Curt), have set these series up for GOld members and private students.
Learning the Ukulele Fingerboard
PUBLISHED: 01 Jan 2003 UPDATED: 01 Jan 2003 • SERIES CODE: UL07 •
This series takes a step-by-step approach to finally learning the fingerboard.
If there's one thing that has the biggest return on your time and investment to learn it's really, really knowing the names of the note of the guitar fingerboard. This series takes a step-by-step approach to finally learning the fingerboard.
The Ukulele, like the guitar and many other fretted stringed instruments, is capable of playing notes horizontally along a string and vertically across the strings. As well as have alternate location to play notes.
This flexibility adds a bit of complexity to actually learning the names of all the notes on the fingerboard, a.k.a., the neck and their locations. Especially without a plan, Stan!
Well Stan!, Here's your plan. Now get to work.

Just browsing over both books, they look fantastic! I'm a guitarist and uke player for over 25 years and was thinking about writing a ukulele book but you've already written what I think are the best, most comprehensive and thorough books I've ever seen for the instrument. I just might end up buying every book you've written and I'll be giving my highest recommendation for your books to my friends and students. Thank you so much for taking the time to write such great books! — Peter Rhee
Aloha, Curt, All I can say is WOW! What you have accomplished is simply incredible! All the best — Glen Hirabayashi, The Aloha Boys
