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!
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.
