I paid for two lessons with a teacher. I've had one and it wasn't great. He's a nice guy but doesn't seem particularly knowledgeable about the uke. Plus I think he's of the I'll-figure-out-your-song-and-then-you-play-it school of teaching. That's fine, but I can figure out a song myself. I don't need to pay someone for that.
Anyway, I think I'm a pain in the butt to teach, so it goes both ways!
So, I've got one more lesson with this guy. What can I have him show me so it's not a waste?
I'm a beginner. I've worked through Ukulele for Dummies and some of Ukulele Exercises for Dummies and Jumping Jim's Beginners book.
Bonus question: does anybody have a great resource for some basic, scratch-the-surface music theory knowledge. There's some seemingly good stuff in Uke Exercises for Dummies but I'm not getting it. This must've been asked a million times, but a search didn't turn up anything. (FYI: uke teacher guy wasn't great at explaining theory)
