Jake Shimabukuro-While My Guitar Gently Weeps

[Husavikur]

Relax people, 3 people accidentally hit the dislike button, nobody dislikes this.

[woso8]

This guy is Slash... of the ukelele

[terinHI]

Check Jake's schedule at the jakeshimabukuro website. I see he's in Illinois a few times. Maybe at a town near you...

[vicktuttle]

oh my gosh, this guy is amazing, my husband is a guitar player mostly but got a uke about a year ago and he plays on it just as much as his guitar now, hope some day he get's as good as this man does, love to see him play live sometime, if he's ever in Indiana

[mmaayyuummiifff]

If only my ukulele did that...i would be soo much happier...

[TheScrappydoosr]

my brain would explode

[kauaiboy6981]

Really great please watch my cover of this song on the uke every view helps I want to spread the Aloha too thank u

[Station923]

Amazing, awesome & these are poor words at best that I can use.  Peace be with you Jake.

[nucemon]

[MothLullaby]

Ukelele; Level: Asian.

[DKashman]

I was just blown away.

[alexjamess]

while my ukelele gently weeps

[TheTexas808]

he plays his ass off and then gets an applause like you would hear after a golfer makes a tap in putt??? c'mon man

[DigiBentoBox]

Play this song like Jake Shimabukuro and you will get ANY Girl your wish. Guaranteed.

[DigiBentoBox]

Ugh. I spent the last half hour excruciatingly picking out the notes to this on my cheapo soprano... If I could maybe even sound like 1/100th of his skill, that'd be an accomplishment.

[taoist1ful]

TRULY, UTTERLY INSPRING!!! I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE GRAND FATHER / MASTER OF STRINGS, ROY SMECK'S FACE, IF HE HAD HEARD THE GENIUS THAT IS JAKE SHIMABUKURO ... BRAVO BEYOND WORDS!!!

George would love it too ...he loved the ukulele ... and this is such a great ukulele version of one of his songs .....

[Jaguaracir]

Very good, I loved this song.

[EpicDuckUkulele]

How is his ukulele not on fire?

[Fluviblue]

Did I already mention this being fantastic?

[Fluviblue]

This is absolutely amazing.

[UmarhasanSuper]

[lookasneetch]

The crowd is just dead silent when he plays.

[Prawet1000]

สวดยอด มาก

[skylark914]

If anyone could ever get tired of hearing this version, I'd certainly like to know it!

[TapDanceGuy]

Every time I watch this I sit in my seat stunned for a few minutes.

[terinHI]

Tenor.

[yesbutnobut22]

[takumitanabe]

Healing sound! Great performance!

[trynamakealiving]

Man Crush.

[terinHI]

It is a custom Kamaka koa wood ukulele. They are made in Hawaii by the Kamaka family. Just google Kamaka ukuleles.

[AstonnMartin2003]

@terinHI While my ukulele gently weeps...

[IzzyQ1000]

Can anyone please tell me what kind of Ukulele he is playing and where could I get one?

[ecgilje]

@IzzyQ1000 Kamaka. the one he plays is customized for just him

[LVAgurl13]

How could the crowd not applaud louder?! -.- HE WAS AMAZING!!!!

[straw717berry]

Amazing!

[Blahhhh58]

this guy is a freaking rockstar

[griff753]

what skill

[djwizdizzy]

I can't get enough of it... It's simply inspirational.

[bkzoe]

It sounds like there are two ukulele's playing at the 4:00ish mark...?

[bkzoe]

I hope all 20 people in the audience freaking appreciated that performance. I kept replaying it over and over.

[SladeWins]

Wow, this thing is great, my jaw literally dropped @ 3:20 but one thing keeps bugging me.

Is it just me, or did I hear the part at 1:30 in final fantasy somewhere?

[DUCKOLICIOUS]

2 people are racist

[plotonisradd]

the dude is totally hendrix on ukulele

[ELITEARKANGELShinod1]

' i gots blisters on me fingas"!!

[juank87mop]

the person that DISliked this video surely doesnt know a dime bout music and clearly doesnt play any instruments and obviously sucks mushroom tips

[gerryguevara]

WOW!!! Very Awesome... He sounds like me. LOL

[younggotribe]

Two thumbs WAY WAY up. Incredible touch and chord construction on that 4-string Uke. Fantastic!

[tonehunter27]

It's really a shame George didn't get to see this.

[emmjoven]

to the person who dislike this video: .|.

[terinHI]

They did, but it was outdoors and there was no mic in the audience. Thanks for the comment.

[dipalipasaurus]

@terinHI I was going to say, how did the audience not lose their shit! lol. I would have gone absolutely insane. This guys is unbelievable!!

[Vindiction96]

The audience should have clapped so much louder at the end.

[TKR8oh8]

the 1 person who disliked this couldnt get his guitar to weep like this..

[tonehunter27]

@TKR8oh8 neither could the 242 that did like it haha.

[apst100]

while my ukelele hardly weeps,

incredible!!

[marvtat4]

jake can you just come over when im sad and play this for me?

[Aafaloth]

and sungha jung tied to make a cover of this... :D ridiculus! :D

[sam14878]

theres a reason why this video doesnt have any dislikes.

[MrBodhisattva]

AWESOMENESS!!



[asaphjeffrey]

the thing that gets me most , is that he arranges EVERYTHING he plays (wel, almost everything) himself. its almost like re-writiing the song. amazing

[svalver]

Increíble, eres el mejor macho.

[wtfducks0]

realy awesome :D as usual!!

[heymanhaha]

He should go on a show called StarKing in Korea... Very famous show that invites the worlds most talented bunch of people.

[AmazingJay909]

i dare sum1 to dislike this you will probably be the most hated person on youtube

[iquila]

4:00 O_O That's all I have to convey.

[lucinda415]

BEAUTIFULLY DONE! <3

[GuvernorDave]

audio is better on the original (i'm aware he is muting etc) the acoustic sounds cleaner whereas this is electric.

This effing amazing and a better arrangement than the original too

mad props to Shima!

[Nikima18]

[Novigrad15]

My absolute favorite song by the Beatles. Jake does a wonderful job with his version, brought tears to my eyes.

[hawaiianNARSissus]

this is beautiful

[elvis4all]

I've watched this over and over and it appears to me that what he's doing is playing this instrument quite well.

[bnicholas26]

best version of jake's version on youtube!

[clips4u2006]

beyond...yes, the Beatles eh? Your gift reflects nicely. George. Oh George. Very nice. Makes me weep actually.
