Your lessons look pretty "simple" to start with, so I'll have to give it a try when I get a Uke.
Not being very bright, I'm attaching a stick and a few tuners to a tin can, but it'll do to start, then I can make something better later. Not as nice as a proper ukulele, but at least it'll cost more.
Thanks for your kind comments. I have recently formed a ukulele band called Melfort Ukuleles (or M.U. for short - but not to be confused with the Musicians’ Union !!!). If you e mail me direct, I could send you copies of my tutorials - all free of charge. Out of interest, please let me know which country you are from. Keep strumming! Peter
Thanks for your message. Sorry to disappoint you but Im probably old enough to be Georges cousin - but I dont think were related. Have you seen my other 3 videos entitled Ukulele George Formby Style Lessons 1, 2 & 3 ?? Do you play the uke then? Why dont you have any videos on You Tube? - Peter
Hi. Thanks for that. George probably did just use his fingers - well never know!! I just felt that a plectrum was easier for teaching purposes. Most beginners do use a plectrum. Keep Strumming. Peter
Hi I use the plectrum for these lessons because I feel it easier for a beginner. I do use the fingers as well but I am now so accustomed to using the plectrum for my banjo playing. For the 4-string guitar, I use the fingers - Chet Atkins style. Anyway, thanks for listening and for your comments. Lesson No. 4 will be coming out shortly! Yours tunefully - Peter. P.S. Where are you from? Do you have any videos on YouTube?
Fantastic! Youve made my day! Many Happy Returns for the 16th Feb. Sorry I dont have a spare one to give you! Have fun - and let me know how you get on please.

Should be fun to learn.

Very clear introduction. Did George Formby use a plectrum?
