  • 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?

    Many thanks and best wishes, Adam

  • @argrundy Hey Adam.

    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.

    Regards

    Matt

  • 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?

  • Hey, the uke was in D tuning (A,D,F#,B) and the key I was playing in was D. Cheers

  • @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

  • @APECDUCK

    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.
