Easily the best explanation of the split stroke I've yet come across. There are some dreadful books and videos with awful solecisms in the explanations and demonstrations. Great job.
Thank you!
Simply and well explained. It did make me hungry though. Throw in some eggs and beans and you have a full English breakfast. A big thank you, Matthew.
Thanks Matthew. I have watched different tutorials on the split stroke and this is by far the best.
Thank you so much Matthew. The best explanation I have come across so far. I am dusting off my George Formby songs with renewed energy now. Happy strumming.
I don't usually comment on RUclips videos, but this time I have to: this is the best explanation of the split stroke technique ever. Please do more tutorials!
Thanks very much! More on the way!
@@MatthewQuilliamMusic Thank you! It would be great if you could clearly explain the differences between triplet stroke, fan stroke and flamenco stroke as many tutorials seem to be very confusing with a lot of overlap!
I agree - brilliant explanation. Thank you!
best split stroke tutorial I have seen-very informative thanks.
Thanks very much!
By far the most helpful video on learning the splits stroke. I had never heard of the sausages and bacon. That is extremely helpful. Thanks
Thanks very much. It's my own invention to use those terms, but they seem to be very useful and popular with all my students so I thought I should share it here too!
Very good explanation!
...I'm definitely ready for the eggs, beans and fried slice now! 😆
By far the best description I have seen, even ones I paid for. Bravo and thanks.
Thanks very much!
Podoba mi się sposób w jaki to tłumaczysz. . Wreszcie zrozumiałam.ba czym ten rytm polega.pozdrawiam z Polski. Ela
Excellent explanation. Thank you.
Fantastic. I've just bought a banjo ukulele, and this is just what I was looking for 👍
Thank you! I’m glad it was helpful!
Excellent, and now I'm hungry!
thanks i think i have finally got it
Brilliant and straight to the point in describing the split stroke, very useful. If I'm creating an improvised solo, am I better using the split stroke in this order and then building in extra enhancements one at a time enhancement e.g. switching order of sau sa ges sau sages ba con around. Hope this makes sense. Thanks for great tuition video.
I would make sure you can play the split stroke fluently and easily before you add in other ideas. But once you have the hang of it, the component parts of the split stroke can be re-ordered, substituted or re-shaped to your desire
Well explained
Thanks very much!
nice lesson Matthew, I too have a very old George Formby Banjolele. I think I have the strum but now I guess I need to speed it up to George Formby speed!
Thanks! Keep your eyes peeled for some new content on that coming soon!
Good explanation, but it would be good to see some examples of the split stroke in actual use. Also, is a finger-lift performed on chords other than C?
Excellent suggestion and question!
Hi Matthew. I have been to see a GFS society playing in Llandudno extravaganza and it has got me caught. I found your videos on RUclips and found them interesting. I have subscribed to your channel for more lessons. I might be a little old to learn but at 75 but hopefully keep my brain working. Could you tell me please what banjolele I shout by to start on please. Thank you in advance for any information. Charles.
It’s never too late to learn! Most ukuleles or banjolele will be good for the Formby style, ideally a smaller scale size like soprano or concert though. In the video I play a Dallas C which is a great starter banjo uke.
Could you give us some practice exercises with the split stroke and maybe eat to do with the finger lifting but with chords other than C please 🙏
What is the history behind this banjo ukulele please? I see writing on it. Sounds great
It is Ted Formby’s (George’s brother) signature, written on pencil and gone over with in blue pen. This was all done for the previous owner, whose name the signature dedicates. Though, I never knew the previous owner and the handwriting is not super clear so hard to identify them. I found it in Southern Ukulele Store whilst looking for something else, who presumably had it sold or passed on to them by said precious owner
The nearest player to GF ever was Jack Jones rip Jack
The difference, Formby didnt make it like Brain Surgery
