    Love the herring gulls right at the end... nice, informative video... there seem to be several variations on the thumb drag or scissors stroke. Thanks for this.

    Good video - understandable and very well explained. It might be mentioned though (for anyone wrongly thinking George cheated) that most musical performers on feature films use prerecorded sound it's the usual thing to do - one big difference is that in George's case, unlike many performers, he played on the prerecording too ☺

    Hi, Yes, I'm a member, and used to go frequently in the 90's. Sadly, due to work commitments and living a long way from Blackpool, don't get chance to go anymore, hopefully will try and do a visit in 2013 though.

    Thank you Lee. I've literally just started playing this morning and whilst undoubtedly some good tutorials out there, none I've found yet which explains the fingering (don't know *any* chords yet ... but I know C now thanks to this lol) or that takes the strumming really slowly. Will be checking out your other videos soon hoping you do some more strokes/chords for later. :) I'm retired now and whilst I'm 55 miles away from Blackpool, am hoping to go to one of the conventions once the Corona Virus thing is over. Maybe you'll return after 2013 too? hehe.

    mime in the films for the pre-recorded music would most likely be down to how the mic picked up the sound,with the banjolele being so loud it might overload the audio recording ,i think he would have sung but the uke may have drowned him out,i know my banjolele drowns me out when i try it,i'm not sure of the pick up patterns they had for mics in the 20s-30s etc,cardioid,uni-directional etc,no problems with audio headroom and compression,but the mic could be the weak link.
    I'm not saying the mics were bad,i'm saying to mic vocals AND the uke on set may have been difficult to balance properly,maybe not ,it's my thoughts on it,i record music directly from amplifiers,i make amplifiers,so the use of proper mics and audio shielding to stop signals being picked up on the wrong mic or overloading a speech mic with very load instruments that are quite percussive can be an issue if not addressed properly,and why i also state maybe,as the type of directional mic used on set is unknown to me at this time,just my two bobs worth really.

      Anybody else think that he looks like a younger version of Tom Hanks, minus the accent?

    in the closing minutes, you will find it easier if you keep your thumb and finger together on the upstroke. it tends to guide your hand better. hope this helps!

    • @2tallB
      @2tallB 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Meaning, use the thump on the upstroke? That's how I'd naturally do it, but I've never checked out George F's technique.

    An excellent tutorial, the best I've seen on the technique. I thought I had read somewhere that George used the thumb drag often on chord changes, but now I can't find that reference. Is it possibly true? Are there particularly good points to insert a thumb drag, or do you just drop it in at random?

    • @leeshetliffe

      Hi, pretty random, however the mood takes you...

    Controversial ? Story I heard was he did to stop rivals slowing down the film and copying his technique .

  • @AdrianShawDrummer
    @AdrianShawDrummer 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    It was a great tutorial when we actually got to it. Eight minutes of waffle and three minutes of actual useful stuff. If you could cut to the chase a bit earlier it would be even better. Still worth watching though. Thanks.

    • @leeshetliffe
      @leeshetliffe  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Adrian. I agree with your comments, it was one of the first videos I made in my younger days, and there is a lot of pointless waffle which I hope to get around to editing out at some point. Any questions just drop me a line. Lee

  • @johntreadaway47
    @johntreadaway47 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Would have been better if more time was spent on the technique and not so much about the height of the strings. But, enjoyed it anyway.
