I was wondering if you could analyse another Formby piece, Shes got two of everything, Ukulelezaza play a very good version of it. split strokes and rolls plus the fan.

I’m planning on a new Formby series in early 2022, stay tuned!

[@joeyforkeye2604]

This tutorial was such a breakthrough for me. I understood the split stroke, triple and fan but couldn’t quite put it all together. Thank you for explaining how to use the split stroke over a few bars - the rest just fell into place! Amazing! Do you provide online/Zoom lessons?

[@pixiegod9550]

Possibly a mistake in the notation at around 5:00 -- last (up)stroke not a full chord, but just a single "3" on the A string like with the other upstrokes before?

[@pixiegod9550]

@@Banjoleletinman Thanks for clearing it up. I just thought I saw and heard a single note in the vid too, but good to learn it was meant otherwise. Great tutorial!
