    This is a very good tutorial, clear teaching. Thank you! I'd love to have you continue it and teach his songs with his style strokes. There are many stroke tutorials but haven't found any simple tutorials as to what to do with them now! You are the first one who has pointed out the 8 beats and clarified that.

      Hello, and thanks for commenting! I don't really actually know any Formby songs, but I might poke around with one or two and see about doing a lesson. The triple stroke would be a necessary element, so maybe I'll do a vid on that first??? Anyhow thanks for watching!

    There are a number of split stroke tutorials on youtube and many from Formby fans and experts but none of them really explain it like you have, this is a must see video and a really great way to learn the intricate style, thank you!!!

    I also agree with everyone - this is the clearest video I have seen and heard on this technique. Your strumming is very cool. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video.

    What a great video, great explanation especially strumming higher up the fret board rather over the hole plus a simple break down of the exercise, now i have cracked it thanks.

    THANK YOU! I had all but given up. I was sure it was beyond my capability and I would never get it. Turns out I just needed a good teacher.

    This is great, the thing most people don't explain is the 123 123 12 which makes up half the iconic sound, thank you ☺️

    I've watched various other videos and always just ended up with a triplet rhythm. Your video is great at explaining the rhythm correctly. Thanks!

    What a helpful video John. I have looked at every other one I could find on the topic but yours clearified what I was missing. As somebody mentioned earlier, the 123 123 12. That is what I was missing. As a drummer I should have caught that. Thanks very much.

      Thanks for checking it out! It's nice to know if was useful for you. The split stroke is a weird thing to explain, but not to hard if you fool with it for a bit. Good luck and thanks for watching.

    I used to play a stroke like this on guitar and it was called a 'Rhumba Stroke' or a 'Rhumba Scratch' with this same rhythm. You would use your hand in a circular motion by playing 4 fingers, then thumb, then index finger up for the 3 combination. Do this twice and then the last two strokes strum four fingers down and skip the thumb but the final 8th beat was the index finger up. A lot of strokes where the index finger sweeps up the strings was called a 'Scratch'. Both the George Formby Split Stroke and the Rhumba Stroke have a clave rhythm.

    as good an explanation of this stroke as ive seen on the tube

  • @carmeladams4410
    @carmeladams4410 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks so much for you video. So well explained with the drawings. I like to see drawings - it is much better than just verbal explanations. Also explaining the fretting of the chords. I'd seen that done on other videos but they did it so fast didn't explain it much and you had to try to catch on by yourself. Thanks again. I'm viewing in Australia.
