YES MORE SPLIT STROKE!!!!
@MatthewQuilliamMusic6 күн бұрын
YES
@MatthewQuilliamMusic7 күн бұрын
NOTE: I should have added that the split stroke originates well before Formby, and appears in Hawaiian method books in the early 1900s. This just shows us how intrinsic the technique given its international appeal and why we should bring it back!

Bring back the split stroke I say.. But then I'm a Formby Fan. Great video btw. Thank you ❤

I got a Fusion double after seeing you rocking one at Digswell! It's a huge quality-of-life upgrade to be able to carry everything in one bag. And I, too, now wish I'd gotten a baritone size.

When you do a fast up strum using the stacatto method do you press down fully the chord in jazz or mute on the fast up (Gypsy strum). Thanks
@MatthewQuilliamMusicАй бұрын
Great question! Most of the time we’re just doing four down strums to the bar, but the occasional up whilst the chord is still pressed down can add a nice touch!
@ukejoe6630Ай бұрын
Seems like a lot of "Ukulele" for us ordinary players is mostly about time, strum and rhythm?

Thanks for the review. Regarding the DI out, I'm thinking that for small guitar/vocal gigs, the Sonnet would suffice, while for larger gigs, I'd add one or two powered speakers (Yamaha DXR12's, in my case). In either case, there would be no need for a separate mixer. Does the Sonnet sound good enough by itself though?

Good review. Thanks. I've had one of these Roland Micro Bass Cube RXs for years and I stopped using it pretty soon after buying it new. I love all the effects and stuff and the FlipTop sound with the Compressor on is excellent. I think its trying to emulate an Ampeg Portaflex and does it really well. But... and its a BIG but... it distorts like crazy after its been on for 10 or 15 minutes making it unusable. Its interesting though because I seen and read reviews that say "don't buy this amp" and I've seen and read reviews that say its excellent. So what's going on?

Hi Matthew. I have been to see a GFS society playing in Llandudno extravaganza and it has got me caught. I found your videos on KZbin and found them interesting. I have subscribed to your channel for more lessons. I might be a little old to learn but at 75 but hopefully keep my brain working. Could you tell me please what banjolele I shout by to start on please. Thank you in advance for any information. Charles.
@MatthewQuilliamMusic2 ай бұрын
It’s never too late to learn! Most ukuleles or banjolele will be good for the Formby style, ideally a smaller scale size like soprano or concert though. In the video I play a Dallas C which is a great starter banjo uke.

I just played this today. The strings are rubber but that's what makes it so fun to play. They bounce more and sound more like an upright bass. Just a really fun instrument that anyone should have, even if you aren't a true bass player. It makes you want to play.
