Chordline

Four strings, four levels. Pluck a string to hear it and see where it takes you.

Level 1 · G string · 4 weeks

First strum

Hold it, tune it, play four chords and one whole song by week four.

The timetable

One string per level, low to high.

Every level is named after the string you will lean on most. Groups of four, one teacher, a room with eight chairs.

  1. G
    Level 1 · 4 weeks

    First strum

    Hold it, tune it, play four chords and one whole song by week four.

    Mon + Thu, 17:30
  2. C
    Level 2 · 6 weeks

    Chord shapes

    Twelve shapes and clean changes between them, at the speed of a real song.

    Tue + Fri, 17:30
  3. E
    Level 3 · 8 weeks

    Fingerpicking

    Thumb and three fingers: arpeggios, a melody line and your first instrumental.

    Wed, 18:00
  4. A
    Level 4 · 10 weeks

    Small ensemble

    Four players, four parts. You learn to listen while you play.

    Sat, 10:00

Four chords, most songs

Tap a shape to strum it.

Each diagram is the real fingering on a G C E A ukulele: dots are fingers, rings are open strings. The sound is made live in your browser from those four frets.

How a lesson runs

Fifty minutes, four parts.

Bring nothing but the ukulele. Chordline is a fictional school, so there is no room to visit, but this is how its lessons would run.

  1. Tune

    Five minutes with the clip-on tuner, string by string, low G last.

  2. Warm up

    The chord changes from last week, slowly, until they ring.

  3. New thing

    One new shape or pattern. Never two.

  4. Play together

    The group plays a full song, and someone else takes the melody.
