If you are a beginner, you should find this very useful. Learn how to get started in GF uke style by learning two basic techniques. First the split stroke, which is the foundation for most of the other GF style strokes, and secondly the thumb roll (or "triple"), which adds a bit of extra interest. Even though these are just two of the techniques, when used together, they can sound fantastic.

mate youre a legend.... wicked vids helped me out alot.. thanks
just wondering if you know where i can get the chords/tabs for I told my baby with my ukulele
Inpossible to follow unless I know the key. Is it C, or D, or some other key? Perhaps a good starting point to any teaching would be to pass on this basic information. Please do that?

Please!

Email sounds good to me.If you are not too busy an email reply would be superb. Petey sent me one, great stuff Petey, makes life so pleasant. Thanks to both Petey and Witt grjp.

Being a little new to this technology, not to mention the handicap of age, I cannot find an email address for you. Is it possible you can send it to me?
