I couldn't help to notice that all these books such as Ukulele Fretboard Roadmaps by Jim Beloff or Ukulele Fingerstyle by Aaron Keim teach theory often using country and folk songs. What is the reason behind that?
Is it that in general these songs are easier, and it's better to teach through them?
Is it that these genres of music are part of the culture of the instrument (for example when studying drums my teacher went through jazz because that was the origin of the instrument)?
Or is it that everybody is totally in love with country and folk music except me?
Tastes are tastes no judge to make over there, I just do not like it. I guess it's one of the reasons I love listening to Jake Shimabukuro music, apart from his technique and awesome skills he approached the ukulele in a more "modern" way I guess.
Anyway theory is theory, then you can apply it to whatever you want
