- Here's an EASY ukulele tutorial to play When I'm Cleaning Windows by George Formby - the Godfather of the ukulele! Word of advice: start off SLOW! And if you want to sound more like George, try tuning your uke to A, D, F#, B (or put a capo on the 2nd fret) instead of the usual GCEA!

YES MY FAMILY ALWAYS WANT ME TO PLAY THIS! Could you make a '10 facts about me' video? Love your channel!
+pianosexual Don't learn this way, this is incorrect to how George played it. Sub to me, and I'll make a video to show the proper way it should be played, as in, correct chords. These chords are WAY out, these are nothing similar to how George Formby would have done it. I use the George Formby songbooks and I am a member of the GFS, so I learnt this song pretty fast.
(Pst, check out my channel just to prove I know how to do George's songs.)
How to play THE ultimate ukulele song, by the Godfather of Uke - enjoy!

Omg I requested this a year ago 😄😄
+thenoobsta99 Ha, sorry it took so long to get round to it! Got there in the end though :)
Chris Ramos- the break up song
Going to try playing this for my grandad tomorrow - thanks for the great tutorial!
Love this version on my banjolele. More George Formby songs, please!
Best and easiest tutorial on this song, thankyou!
Just got my banjolele last week and wanting to learn the Formby repertoire. Think I'll stick with this strum for a while; George's method is bit difficult at this point.
You nailed it there, son
#Thankfull4uke John.. I'm learning this on my George Formby banjo uke!! Very slowly lol !!!
I know you did Screen recently but I would love to learn Holding Onto You by Twenty One Pilots. It's one of the songs they do most often on Uke and I'm sure a lot of people would love to learn how to play it with your tutelage. Thank you so much for continuing to make these amazing lessons.
Yesss!
Chords:Am, G, F, C.
Strum Pattern: D-D mute U-D-U.
Watch videos of Tyler playing it to get a feel of the rhythm.
THANK YOU ! I have always wanted to learn this song, great tutorial ^_^
A lot of people don’t know that George only knew a couple of positions on the uke and had a different tuned uke for different keys for other songs .
Awesome! I was anxious for some George Formby. Thank you!
I always had that old-movie feeling when listening to this song. Great tutorial!
Great stuff thanks my friend
Absolutely love this ! Thank you so much !!
I have the strumming really well, until I start to sing, and then I lose the strumming. I can't sing and strum at the same time. It is annoying LOL
absolutely love it mate!!! I love playing it, I play a different version but this is just as good!!!! +The Ukulele Teacher 😊
That is such a user-friendly interpretation - others get bogged into split strokes and fan strokes which I can't do - yours I can. Thanks.
Thank you! That's amazing! 😁
thanks mate , this is the best progress iv ever made . i almost sound like im doing a tune :) ace
Playing is really good the singing is very good but you need to use some stops or split seconds of silence to make it sound even better otherwise it drones on for too long not that I can say anything as I wouldn't even attempt to sing or play it as well as you do. If you listen to George his timing is what makes him so good, those little pauses mean everything.
Could you do more George Formby lessons ?
I’m just learning some Formby stuff, because I wanna learn some of the classics on the Ukulele
Loveee this, singing along
I know you get a lot of requests but these are the three songs that I really want to learn.
- "Rivers and Roads" by The Head and the Heart
- "Ophelia" by The Lumineers
- "Snaggletooth" by Vance Joy
If you could do any of these three I would be so happy.
+Jessica Flikkema Can't make any promises but I've had a LOT of requests for snaggletooth so I do plan on doing it one day 😃
my dad bought me my first ukulele last year as long as I jokingly promised to learn this by christmas. that didn't really happen, maybe I should get around to it now
+laura You definitely should! :)
I really want to learn how to play, "Better Place- Rachel Platten." Pleaaaase and thank you! I've learned how to play several songs by watching your videos! Thank you for being a great ukulele teacher!
The gambler by Fun.? It reminds me of people I love. I like how this is like old fashion when u played it!
This is great John ,I love playing it,
thank you ----- i enjoyed your lesson very much.
Thanks for the strumming pattern
Would love love love to learn Cliff Edward's "What a night for spoonin"
Is this in the same key Formby played it because I have watched other videos playing in a different key
Thanks!
YESSSS! I've always wanted to play this song but it looked too complicated. Thank you! :)
It'd be brilliant if you could do Formby's "Mr Wu's a Window Cleaner now" :)
HOLDING ONTO UUUUUUUUUUUU BY TOPPPPP
i did this for my music exam last year and this is exaxtly how i played it
Loved the lesson thank you 😄👍👍
Thanks for this big help
New to the ukulele but this is a great video!
Hi ukulele teacher! can I request you to do a tutorial of "God only knows" by the beach boys?
This really reminds me of the "Wishy Washy" game in eyetoy on PS2... Is it or am i wrong?
YES!!
+UnitedGamesNL YES! That's how I found out about this song! I'm happy SOMEONE remembers that game!
YESS!!!! Its been ages since i last played that game, all i can remember of that game was the Wishy Washy game and the intro with the old lady.
UnitedGamesNL 5odsnm,./-kjhkhkjhkjhkjhkjhkh
UnitedGamesNL YESS THAT GAME IS AWESOME 😂
YOU CALL THAT EASY!! I mean i thought the strumming pattern wouldn't be that fast after you said easy and you literally blew my mind
+Justin Samuel Wait till you see my channel. Not to blow my own trumpet, but I do fairly fast George Formby solos from his songs.
Hi!! I love your tutorials 😊 youre so amazing! I was wondering if you could make a tutorial on paris tokyo by lupe fiasco! Its one of my favorite songs and it has sentimental value to me 😊 and it seems like a really fun song to play. I cant find any tabs or tutorials anywhere though. Thanks!
I've never heard this song before, but I'm thinking that it will sound good on my banjolele. Thanks!
+seansween30 It will sound AWESOME on a banjolele! When I get mine this will be the first song I play on it!
I'm surprised to hear that you don't already own one. I've got a Luna Ulu that I picked up cheep and it has quickly become my favorite time killer. It's different to play because of the elevated bridge on the base, but I'm sure that it won't cause a problem for you. I look forward to seeing you play one in a future video. Cheers, and thanks for all the great content.
You are brilliant! I love your channel - good work!
Woooo thank you!!!
Hey again i dont know if youll ever read these or even if theyll do anything but i think ill keep asking until it happens or until you tell me to stop or something but i think the song snaggletooth by vance joy would be awesome. there arent any youtube tutorials and i mean its pretty much originally played on the ukulele anyways
awesome, but now I want to here you play the Banjolele! You and Mr. B making the most awesome duet ever :) (played AC/DC Back in black on one in the shop last week, it sounds most cool)
Fabulous tutorial. I have found a much easier way to play B7. Bottom string fret4, C string fret3, E string fret2. Sounds good to me. What do you think?
Hey teach first of all i wanna thank you for all your videos. They were so helpful in learning the uke, YOU'RE THE BEST!! Also i would like to ask if you could do a tutorial on "Everything is Sound", by Jason Mraz. I could only find covers on the song but no tutorials. It would be really helpful if you could do one :)
Can you please do a tutorial of any My Chemical Romance songs!

I swear he looks at my internet history, as whenever I start to learn a song he posts a video on how to play it xD
When your strumming like a maniac :) ..... Do you use your index finger or thumb or do you support one with the other?
OMG I commented this 😁 thank you!!
+Lucy Roberts Same, wish he did the right version, and it's about three years late, I play it with the same chords as George Formby did, even the solo, but this version is WAAYYY off. Still, not bad, but you need a REALLY high tuning to make it sound right. I had to go to E tuning to make it sound remotely similar whilst side-by-side with the song!
Can you please do a tutorial of Little Lion man or There will be time by Mumford and sons? That would be awesome, i Love you
I learnd a lot with your videos!! They are amazing to begin with the uke. Greetings from switzerland :3

Yes, more Green Day would be so very cool!

I was wondering if you could do Be good or be gone by Fionn Regan?
PLEASE please please do a summer in Ohio from the last five years! I bought the music book and everything but it's in a different key from the song and the beginning riff isn't it in. please!
I kinda played the intro in a fashion until my fingers started hurting, but it sounds nothing like yours LOL. I am much better on an electric guitar than a ukulele heh heh. It doesn't help that it keeps on going out of tune, or I am playing so badly it sounds out of tune. My guitar was expensive, but the ukulele is a cheap one, so I am hoping to get the hang of it.
Hey ukulele teacher can you teach us to play the "our first song" by-joseph Vincent
thank you ☺😊
