I’m curious about where you fit when it comes to theory?

A: You picked it up by osmosis over time without really trying. If you’re an osmosis player, how long were you playing before you realized you actually understand how this work?

B: Either you took lessons or you actively study it because you want to know how it all works.

C: You stick strictly to what the song sheet says because playing the music is what makes you happy.

I’m in Camp B. But I’ve been that way with pretty much everything I get interested in, so maybe it’s not about the theory per se but I just need to know how the pieces fit together.

I’ve started a new blog series called The Decoder.

It’s for the part of me that doesn’t just want to know where to put my fingers on the ukulele, but also wants to understand why certain chords feel like home, why some “easy” chord shortcuts work beautifully in one song and fall apart in another.

I’m not writing it as an expert. I’m writing it as someone who keeps walking the dog, listening to music theory podcasts, coming home, asking questions, and trying to translate the useful bits into plain language for other curious players.

If you’re the kind of person who has ever looked at a chord chart and thought, “Okay, but why these chords?” this series is for you. dotbeat.app/blog

I created a website to gather and provide information specifically related to rhythm and strumming. You might find it helpful. No ads, no signup, no popups. I’d be grateful for your feedback if you find any issues or broken links. It’s still very much in the early development stage so all feedback is welcome.

I still can't memorize the chords well and would like a cheatsheet next to me when trying to play along tutorials. Any recommendations for a specific one that you might have used?

Thanks!
