This course gets you playing songs like Country Roads, Let It Be, and Don't Stop Believin' — the kind you'd play for yourself on the couch, at a family dinner, or around a campfire. No scales, no drills, no nursery rhymes.
Maybe quietly on the couch, on the patio some evening, or at a family gathering. You've thought about learning before — YouTube, an app, maybe a class — and nothing stuck. That wasn't you. None of it was built for someone starting from scratch who wants to play real songs.
Or maybe you've just been carrying the same story a lot of people carry: I'm not musical. I'm too old. I should have started years ago.
Start Playing, Guaranteed — $67One hour a session. By the end you're playing sixteen songs everyone knows, all from four chord shapes that are some of the simplest on a ukulele. Self-paced, so take longer if you want it.
Each chord gets its own instruction video and its own practice video. Watch Dave play it, then practice at your own pace.
Includes downloadable chord reference sheet
By the end of this session, you'll know all four chords and hear how they start to sound like a real song.
You know the chords. Now you play them in real songs. This session introduces strumming, a technique for playing along from your first try, and five play-along songs — from Country Roads to Three Little Birds — each one with Dave playing and singing right alongside you.
Includes downloadable song sheets
Your first full song, played start to finish.
Same four chords, faster changes. This is where the songs start to sound like the recordings you grew up with. Let It Be, Don't Stop Believin', Can You Feel The Love Tonight, No Woman No Cry — eleven more play-along songs join the five from Session 2. Sixteen total, every one with Dave alongside you.
Includes downloadable song sheets

Plus, you get this
Sixteen songs get you started — full play-along videos with Dave, ready to play in your first three hours. The setlist keeps you going: over 200 crowd-pleasing songs across decades and genres, each with a link to hear the original and a verified chord sheet.
The course shows you how to use it, so you keep adding songs long after the three sessions are done.

Yours forever. No expiration.
If you finish and still can't play a real song, you don't pay. Do the three Fast Track sessions within 30 days, and if it hasn't happened, email us — we'll refund every penny.
Dave has watched over a thousand complete beginners do exactly this. That's why we can put it this plainly.
A team-building coordinator asked if Dave could teach a room full of complete beginners to play ukulele in a single session. Nobody had ever touched an instrument. By the end of two hours, they were all playing real songs together.
That first session became Uke Night — and over a thousand complete beginners have come through since. Retirees, working professionals, couples on date nights. The CTO of one of the world's most recognized tech companies booked a session over Zoom for his senior technical team — a group he described as the most non-musical people he'd ever worked with. They were all playing together by the end.
This course is that same method — everything that worked in those rooms, rebuilt for your living room. Self-paced, with every lesson on video, so you can rewind, slow down, and go at whatever speed works for you. Plus a 200+ song library you can keep coming back to long after the three sessions are done — something a live event can't give you.
They bought the course and told us how it went. Their words and their names, used with permission.
“I tried another course , and it was fun . But I always felt that I was behind everybody else and it was very frustrating for me. I completed the course and took it again but felt the same way the second time. I’m not feeling that way this time.”
“Not being musical or have anyone in my family who was musical. Strumming is difficult for me. I feel awkward and no confidence in my strumming so going slower in your course really helped.”
“It is never too late and Uke Night is the BEST way to learn. No pressure! ALL fun and great results!”
“Dave has created a very supportive, easy to follow course that inspires you to success. It makes you want to continue playing and enhances the enjoyment of the instrument and playing. Well done!!”
“Needed a place where all the info I needed was already put together for me”
“Affordable and comprehensive”
“Never too late! And it’s healthy to play a musical instrument.”
Dave has spent five years teaching complete beginners to play ukulele — in person, in rooms where nobody had ever touched an instrument. Over a thousand people have come through his Uke Night sessions. He watched what worked, what confused people, what made them light up, and what made them quit. This course is built from all of it.
He also designs ukuleles. He's the founder of Honolua Ukuleles and has spent 20 years in the music industry as a performer and buyer. That background is why the course includes a buying guide that actually tells you what to look for — and why every Uke Night Method student gets an exclusive discount on a Honolua instrument.
A single private ukulele lesson can cost more than this entire course. Music apps charge $10 to $20 a month and hope you forget to cancel. An 8-week class costs more and takes months.
$67 gets you the whole course — the Fast Track with its 16 play-along songs, the 200+ song setlist, the buying guide, the troubleshooting hub, bonus strumming and capo lessons, and lifetime access. One payment, no subscription, backed by the Song-First Method Guarantee.
$67 is the introductory price. It's going up once we have our first hundred student reviews. If you're here now, this is the best price the course will ever be.
One weekend from now, you could be the one who plays.
All prices in USD + applicable tax.
