Quite a job, catching up to old George! He was a guitar fanatic, was rumored to even practice while on the loo, and think of how many years that was! That strumming style comes from a performer of the 1930s and 40s named George Formby, and well, where he learned it from, it was just kind of a done thing in the early 20th century.

You're a very talented teacher. I like your calmness. Could you please give the time signatures for the split stroke?
@Banjoleletinman
3 ай бұрын
That time signature is 4/4 for the whole piece but you can think of the split stroke as a clave rhythm with groupings of 3 and 2. In that case it would be 3+3+2

@@Banjoleletinman so something like that: 1+2+3+4+ DudDudDu And the fast hand movement between the d and D is only possible, because the d is not a full strum but a small hit on the g string?

@@JohannesHeld Yes exactly! The whole pattern is straight eighth notes but feels syncopated because of where the accents are placed due to the partial strums.

That's similar to my rendition with a few subtleties. Also "Five Foot Two" follows on naturally. I've just worked out "Here Comes the Sun" on Uke and it sounds amazing. It's a natural because the original is on a guitar with capo on 7th fret and the (soprano) Uke is 5 semitones higher so you can use the same "D shaped" patterns and it's a little bit lower to make the singing easier.

Great tutorial, but I'm a bit confused: you talk of the "index finger" and then the "first finger". In the UK these are the same thing. Is it different in the US?

I've been watching your vids for a bit now and am currently working on ain't misbehavin. Your sense of how to squeeze the most from the humble uke is AMAZING! Plus your voice; a bit of southern in it (which this Yankee likes) but I LOVE how you use it to convey the feelings in the song. My best (to me) example is in Ain't Misbehavin when you skip a beat going "just you I'm thinkin of" to "Ain't misbehavin" which is hard to do but conveys such a subtle sense of guilt because the singer is lying or just playing around - a significant part of the song. I know this is a bit of a weird post but I like your style and am trying to soak it up. From a moderately advanced uke player with very little performance experience.
