    Quite simply brilliant and of extreme value to anyone who may embark on the exciting journey of learning to play in the Formby style. Well done Matthew and thank you very much for this invaluable resource. Allan.

    Pls explain how come you talk & play like you’ve been at this for 50 years but look like you’d need ID to get served in a pub. Bloody amazing - bravo.

    Amazing. I'm exraordinarily rhythimically challenged and I have been looking for someone to explain the rhythms in these solos for years. Seems anyone can show how to DO the strokes, but nobody seems to really understand or explain now they fit together and why. Thanks. You've got a gift for instruction.

    Hi Matthew, I'm going to watch your video later today with it being a lengthy one. Could you please break down your strumming pattern for the second part of Leaning on the Lamppost (not the solo) just the faster part after the first section). I'm struggling with it please advise.👍

    • @MatthewQuilliamMusic
      @MatthewQuilliamMusic  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hello Raymond, thanks for your comment, for Lamppost when it speeds up during the vocal section, the song goes into what's called 'double time'. This is where the lyrics/melody stay the same speed but the accompaniment (ie the strumming) is twice as fast, creating a move lively feel. So the chords change at the same rate in conjunction with the melody, but there are now twice as many strums to fit into the same space of time. Formby will typically just use a series of very quick down strums with the thumb. I hope that helps!

      If you visit my new website How to Ukulele Banjo, there you will find every thing I currently have published including some worksheets and other exercises. I intend to produce more content in the near future so keep an eye on it.

    Thanks so much Matthew! I’m glad you took it as far as you did. Question - how do you get the chords themselves for the songs? I find different chords for the same song on the web. How do you get the “real” chords?

    • @MatthewQuilliamMusic
      @MatthewQuilliamMusic  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi John, thanks. In terms of chords I believe the generally accepted best place for chords are GFS songbooks available on their website or from transcribing Formbys playing.

    For me personally this technical stuff takes all the fun out of it. But I suppose it is great for anyone wanting to emulate Formby - despite all of that technical knowledge it all sounded well out of tune to me.
