Superb Matt! Really enjoyed that :-) I'm learning this song on my uke - no probs with the verses and chorus but having some trouble with the solo... I'm learning the Split Stroke and trying to throw in some Triples but I'm not sure what chords the solo is played over. Can you help?
The Chords for the solo part is from the Chourus 'I'm Leaning on a Lamp-post at the corner of the street' etc. The Triples and Split Stroke are added over the same Chords of the Chourus part.
@m134mr Thanks very much, Matt. Only been learning the Split and Triple for about a week! Not easy but getting there - the Fan stroke can wait! :-) I've watched your excellent instructional video too... ant chance of some more?
Very, very cool. You're helping preserve important music and you're breathing new life into it with your passion. You're a cool dude. Don't stop doing what you're doing
Wonderful Performance. I loved it. I never cease to be amazed at the talent displayed on You Tube. One link leads to another, I could stay on for hours and sometimes do.
That was just brilliant never seen it played better. I was puzzled by the chords,(as usual)could you tell me what was your Uke tuned to and what was the key?
@davemaur Hi I am a beginner to this so excuse my ignorance but can i tune my banjolele to D if it was set up for C tuning any help would be most appreciated great playing Matthew hope i can get to some where near your standard one day. Phil
Hi Phil, Yes you can tune your uke to D, but instead of G,C,E,A, which is C tuning, you can tune to D with A,D,F#,B. Both of these tuning systems were very popular during the early stages of the ukulele, May Singhi Breen specialised in promoting D tuning throughout the 1920s,30s, etc.
@m134mr Hi Mathew could you tell me which strings would you recommend i have the Aquilla on now seem a bit loud to me what do think would be better alternative any help would be grateful.
yep must say better than original (see georges version) same song name. I love this. great grandparents lived next door to Formby's senoir in Wigan in 1920's. Not that old my self but Matt's a star. Do you Do private parties? anyway going to learn Uke after seeing that. . brilliant......... Tell us when you are on next in Blackpool.
Right, I was just humming that tune... My Dad used to sing it to me when I was little but it's not been sung to me for years. So, when i randomly started humming it, i searched it on youtube and came up with your version. Awesome.
