  • Leaning on a Lamppost is widely considered George Formby's signature tune, so in this tutorial I show you all the chords I play for this solo.
    Ukulele Banjo: Customised Ludwig Wendall Hall De-Luxe (C. 1929)
    Tuning: A-D-F#-B
    Key: D

    Very well executed. Not the easiest strumming patterns to pick up and learn so much respect for nailing them all so fluidly.

    More of these 'how to' Formby solos would be fantastic! As an American Formby fan this is a great and easily accessible resource.

    You know. I've been playing the guitar for 18 years both electric and acoustic.
    I've had a ukulele for 2 years but only really started properly in the last 2-3 months or so.
    I've been trying this song for ages and I can not get the end down. This video is an absolute god send. Thank you!!

    So well done, so helpful with the split screen AND the chord diagram!! Hope you'll do "When I'm Cleaning Windows." As a Yank I'd never heard of that song or George Formby, both brilliant and such a joy in these times.

    I forgot to tell you my name is Bruce. I am so glad you are in the UK. I wish I could strum like you. I sure wish I could see what you are doing with your right hand. I would love to see a video from you with the camera viewing under your right hand.

    Very good. Love the way you played it slower so people could watch the strumming and finguring. How about my favourite ... Licence. :)

    Brill 🤩 beginner question: is your Uke tuned GCEA? I'm about to take delivery of my first banjo ukulele. Fallen hook, line and sinker for George Formby's heroic abilities with this lovely instrument and kicking myself for not buying one sooner

    Brilliantly presented tutorial Lewis. What tuning is it in please?

  • @AlexYeets
    @AlexYeets Před rokem

    Hey Lewis - Just a profound one I've only just noticed on the engraving on your uke - On the armrest, there's what appears to be some musical notes - do they actually correspond to some kind of tune, by chance?
    If not, just ignore me. 🤣 Not sure how I've never noticed until now.

  • @canadacalling6892
    @canadacalling6892 Před rokem

    I love your playing Lewis. I like the pics of chords - but could you also say what chords they are? Thanks.

  • @canadacalling6892
    @canadacalling6892 Před 7 měsíci

    Hi Again Lewis, can you please tell me how your tuning is so it sounds like George's? Mine is tuned G C E A - but I would so love to know how to tune mine as yours is PLEASE sir!

    • @LewisClifton
      @LewisClifton  Před 7 měsíci +1

      The most common tuning I uses is A - D - F# - B. Hope this helps
