So I saw a free document named as this thread's title on Curt Sheller's website where he promotes his lesson plans, other publications for purchase etc. Quite an information packed site actually. http://curtsheller.com/ukulele/
I thought the document might tide me over until Ukulele Exercises for Dummies is available here in the colonies, or might give me a hit of what he might offer if I subscribed to his lessons, or be the next step after Boot Camp. Unfortunately, from the very first page (of 68) it was so far over my intermediate head it might as well have been on another planet. More than a dozen named scales (Ionian, Lydian, Locrian ....), modes, melodic intervals, etc. with drill after drill in every key. the only thing I even recognized was the Circle of Fifths.
My question is do you proficient players actually practice stuff like this on a daily basis? I can see music majors perhaps but wow, I had no idea! Very humbling to say the least.
