@WiganGeorge Thank ye kindly!

Great job mate!

Any chance you'd be kind enough to post the chords?

Thanks.

Thanks! I got my banjo uke last week so in 6 months time I *may* master the triple :) Out of interest, where do you find the chords to GF tunes? I've got the society song book but it only includes 30 or so songs. I can pick some up by ear but it it'd be nice to see the proper versions.

@subverbal I've just been figuring it all out mostly by ear. Also, if you join "The Resonator" forum, sometimes other GFS members can help you out with a few chords.

Nice one! Love the solo - do you have any tips on how to do the triple? I've had a couple of tries on my cheapo uke with mixed success. Hopefully getting a proper banjo uke this week with any luck, followed by much practicing!

[Beafteck89]

@subverbal Just keep your forefinger firm on the downstroke, and keep the thumb loose and let it sort of flop (**lightly**) over the strings on the follow-through. The distance apart between your finger and thumb effects the timing of the triple, so it takes practice. The triple was the last thing I figured out of the Formby Strokes. I struggled with it for six months, so you're in good company, lol.

@Beafteck89 Thanks for the advice! Gonna spend a good few hours annoying the missus now.....
