It's time to learn the fretboard once and for all. One step at a time, one fret a week.

—

In One Fret a Week, you’ll finally get the roadmap you’ve always wanted for the ukulele fretboard. Instead of overwhelming charts or dry drills, this 12-week course breaks things down into a simple, musical process: one fret at a time. Each week, you’ll focus on a single fret, learning to name, play, and read the four notes it holds. By the end of the course, you won’t just know the notes—you’ll know the entire fretboard inside and out.

But here’s where it gets exciting: every week, you’ll also learn a brand-new piece of music composed by me, James Hill. Each song is written to showcase the unique sound and character of that week’s fret, turning simple note learning into real music-making. These aren’t just exercises—they’re songs that come straight from my upcoming solo album, 12 Solitudes. So when you practice, you’re not just studying the fretboard—you’re also bringing to life music that’s about to be released to the world.

It’s the best of both worlds: a clear, methodical approach to mastering the fretboard and the joy of playing meaningful, original music. By the time you’ve finished the course, you’ll not only understand your ukulele more deeply—you’ll have an entire album’s worth of music under your fingers. It’s time to learn the fretboard once and for all, one step at a time, one fret a week!
