The thread of If You Could Buy Any Ukulele seems to have morphed into using that pretend blank check to have someone teach you. Not a bad discussion, so I thought I'd start a separate thread for it. And, in this case, we might be able to at least find some YouTubes or other sources where we could actually follow through a bit with the teachers of our dreams.
So, if you were handed a blank check, and told it had to be used to pay someone to teach you ukulele, who would you hire?
I suppose I'd go with Jake Shimabukuro, since he seems very patient, (that would be very necessary!), very clear in the videos I've seen of him explaining things, and whether you like his style or not, he's clearly very talented.
I'm someone who fingerpicks and doesn't sing, so that seems like a good fit, too.
Though I think what I'd really like is someone to help me learn to make my own arrangements of songs. I suppose I could ask Jake to do that, too, as long as I've got that magical pretend blank check to keep paying him.
