Lovely, thought-provoking demo, thanks.

Very well presented, a lot of the other "Teachers" go straight in to playing at a thousand miles an hour, yours is much easier to follow, thanks, I'll be at the George Formby Convention in Blackpool this weekend practicing.

Thank you for introducing and educating me on the Split Stroke as I have never heard of it or George Formby before watching this video. I am a beginner Uke player only really playing since December of 2023. Unfortunately the Split Stroke as cool as it is, won't be part of any of my routines, as I am primarily a Baritone Uke player who sometimes plays on my low G tenors. High G reentrant tuning is not my thing, as I prefer linear tuning and more of a guitar sound.

Pull offs are used a lot when playing lead guitar.

It would be useful if you, at the end of the tutorial, played the split stroke at a more normal speed...as Formby might have in one of his songs.

YES MORE SPLIT STROKE!!!!

NOTE: I should have added that the split stroke originates well before Formby, and appears in Hawaiian method books in the early 1900s. This just shows us how intrinsic the technique given its international appeal and why we should bring it back!

Bring back the split stroke I say.. But then I'm a Formby Fan. Great video btw. Thank you ❤

What tuning

I got a Fusion double after seeing you rocking one at Digswell! It's a huge quality-of-life upgrade to be able to carry everything in one bag. And I, too, now wish I'd gotten a baritone size.

Matt is my uke teacher. I love playing his stuff as the melodies are beautiful and I learn something new every time I sit down to play.

What a pleasure to sit down and talk music with you Matthew. I love your work.

When you do a fast up strum using the stacatto method do you press down fully the chord in jazz or mute on the fast up (Gypsy strum). Thanks

Seems like a lot of "Ukulele" for us ordinary players is mostly about time, strum and rhythm?

hey buddy, awesome I will pass this around.

Thanks for the review. Regarding the DI out, I'm thinking that for small guitar/vocal gigs, the Sonnet would suffice, while for larger gigs, I'd add one or two powered speakers (Yamaha DXR12's, in my case). In either case, there would be no need for a separate mixer. Does the Sonnet sound good enough by itself though?

This is a great arrangement and so brilliantly played on both instruments.

Thanks Mathew, your videos really help. Much appreciated 👍

Enjoyable. Thank you for the tutorial.

~Wis you w'd put up a diagram for us to follow you. Do enjoy

Thank you!

Good review. Thanks. I've had one of these Roland Micro Bass Cube RXs for years and I stopped using it pretty soon after buying it new. I love all the effects and stuff and the FlipTop sound with the Compressor on is excellent. I think its trying to emulate an Ampeg Portaflex and does it really well. But... and its a BIG but... it distorts like crazy after its been on for 10 or 15 minutes making it unusable. Its interesting though because I seen and read reviews that say "don't buy this amp" and I've seen and read reviews that say its excellent. So what's going on?

Cool progression. 😊

This is great!

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 UA-cam 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.

Well done chaps, this was brilliant.

Hey this was pretty damn good actually! Really enjoyed your respective solos.

Very nice indeed 😊

0:26 - The Risa Solidbodies are still available online through shops such as Thomann, and through the Risa webshop, though they are a bit pricey nowadays Would love to try a Risa someday, I already own a Flight and a Fanner, so it would be intresting to see how they compare to eachother

Well done, so good Matthew and friend. Lovely choice of song.

Hi! Would have loved to hear some playing of the instrument other than the intro and outro. Greetings from the Netherlands :)

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.

Cool

This great. Really well explained.

I just played this today. The strings are rubber but that's what makes it so fun to play. They bounce more and sound more like an upright bass. Just a really fun instrument that anyone should have, even if you aren't a true bass player. It makes you want to play.
