  • Very instructive, You are so correct in teaching slow practice. I've learned a lot watching

    your video..My question is, what is the name of the song you're playing in the video.

    It would help tremendously to have the notes available...It seems like that same music is used in all instructional videos....Do you have videos for sale? Thanks, timobrixi

  • @timobrixi Thanks for all the nice comments - I don't think I was playing any specific song here, just a common couple of split stroke chords you'd find in many Formby solos. Regarding doing other tutorials, I did this one because I didn't see any covering syncopation, whereas there are lots of very good ones on the triple, shake etc - especially by Peter Nixon & Matt Richards. There are also some bad examples though, people doing an Iron Maiden impressions...relax, swing a bit x

  • thanks for a very informative lesson

  • Excellent! Good man. I have just started learning the Split Stroke - I have to perform Leaning on a Lamppost at Christmas - and couldn't get my head round the fact that it sounds like it's in 3/4 time but I needed to play it in 4/4. Bit like patting your heading and rubbing your tummy at the same time! This explains it very clearly... how about some more videos? :-)

  • So useful. Clear and precise. Thanks so much. What about the triple and the fan stroke in the same style of tutorial?

  • Very good. Much appreciated. More please...

  • very nice. looked at several syncopation videos before finding this. This one I'm studying a bit.

  • Very instructive. Much easier to strum along with someone else, if only to drown out my mistakes!! Thank you
