I just wanted to give props to Jason Arimoto for his moveable chords workshop he's been teaching in San Jose. I met up today with some others that are taking the class and we all agree that Jason's method of teaching soloing techniques are informative and easy to grasp even without a background in musical theory.
Personally, I've taken similar classes with some pretty big names in the uke community and they seem to forget that not all of us have their background and capabilities. I made huge leaps in understanding last night and I attribute it to Jason's approach to teaching.
If you ever get the chance to take a class with him, or see him perform . . . you should jump at it!!! He's a great guy and great instructor (really great strings too )
