I live in Atlanta, and it's a reasonably big area. There are lots of music resources here, but not so much for ukulele. Maybe there is and I just can't find it, but if that's the case then the reason I can't find it is that virtually everybody who teaches guitar claims that they teach ukulele. I sign up for lessons and the teacher is fabulous at guitar but he doesn't actually play ukulele. I even gave him one and after 5 months I can't tell that he has thought about the ukulele until its time for my lesson and then he just tries to focus his attention briefly on only 2/3 of his fretboard. Most of my progress has been self inflicted. My teacher is fabulous at being able to listen to a song and then identify the chord progression. Is this the best there is? Is this life for most everywhere? I'm trying to stop short of doing a rant here, but this to me is like someone saying that they teach violin because they play the cello. Anyone else find this situation in common?
