Jake Shimabukuro LIVE Ukulele Concert: While My Guitar Gently Weeps

[shirye]

i wonder how much money he makes... its sad that he has all this talent but j-z probably has more money than him...

[dianacpalm1]

Wow! He does a superlative job of pulling some amazing music out of that ukulele!!

[Austarl42]

LOL "I LOVE DR.PEPPER!!!" @0:55

[LeeJohnkim]

The brand is Kamaka

[dancecoholicness]

He can play and brilliant. I own a ukulele too. What brand is he using?

[Xzexes]

What a boss

[123ThisIsMe]

This is brilliant !

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

[cokotuossurdum]

smog 4 th generation ? hahaha that k yamaguchi said the same.jake is from fukushima jpn just fake birth in hawaii

[TheCLLNZ]

i used to play guitar but recentley became interested in ukelele, wondering what to buy for a beginner. any advice?? any answer is appriciated, thanks!!

[AdrianXAsian]

@TheCLLNZ How much is your price range?

[laszlov2]

@TheCLLNZ Where u from? If u have a Lidl somewhere in ur town, I recommend getting one there, it's just 18 bucks or something

[customneonshirts]

Nearly as good as my playing

[TheBirdieshooter]

Oh my gosh.To 1pepituh, its called a ukulele and its not a tiny guitar. You are a mug.

[ich8bit]

While his ukulele gently weeps

[Andhika1993]

240p... we meet again...

[thetOmtoom3412]

George would have love him. :)

[psikolex91]

O.O *speechless. this guy is amazing

[1pepituh]

Hey, sir with the tiny guitar and a name that's impossible to spell? you rock! :D

[Noobahawk]

85 people much rather listen to static...

[cokotuossurdum]

japanese jake plays good, except he is not hawaiian

fukushima no chippoke lol

[PuppyZwolle]

@cokotuossurdum Yes he is. He's born in Honolulu. That makes him a Hawaiian.

[cokotuossurdum]

@PuppyZwolle buuuullshiiiit.,. im an american born in japan. doest that makes me A japanese ? lol

you must be a japanese or a filipino, chinese whatever other than A hawaiian ,hawaiian themeselfs are also not hawaiian but samoan or micronesian but still hawaiiian blooded ., they never accept fake jake or any jap or haole as hawaiian..

being born doesnt make you from anyhere, its whom you born to, not where you born, if ur a japanese or chinese or filipino whatever your what ur parents ARE

[PuppyZwolle]

@cokotuossurdum Ha ha ha. In that case Obama really should not be president at all Because by your definition he's a real African African. But I see your point.

[smoog]

Oh of course Hawaiians wouldn't accept him. That's why he's won so many Na Hoku Hanohano Awards (Hawaiian grammys) and been voted best Entertainer of the Year by public poll.

He's a 4th generation Hawaiian. How long does a person's family need to live in a country before you consider them as being from there? By your standards, you can't call yourself American. You shd be calling yourself 'a British born in Japan'. Then again, I doubt Britain would want you back.

[bluemoze]

Jake made the uke (and Dr Pepper) smexy. <3

[ChampangeSuperNovaz]

I think this is his best performance! :D

[njeisme]

@ChampangeSuperNovaz This is a good performance yes, but he plays that same song, while my guitar gently weeps, later on in life and it is amazing. It should be just to the right of this video and he called it Ukulele weeps by Jake Shimabukuro. You'll love that one. its just as crazy except better.

[greenjeeper]

is like dave mathews band plauing ukulele

[bluesxyzify]

get this kid a band, lol

[elbowonfire]

I didn't take the uke as a serious instrument until this guy. HOT DAYUMN

[ashleyfatty]

What ukelele does he use ?

[tetoalux]

I bet George Harrison would be proud of this.

[HOORAHist]

I LOVE DR. PEPPER!!!!!

[murun1230]

3:31 amazing...



[TheBJuno]

Wow! I am speechless!

[RudolphFats]

He's a wonderful musician, certainly, but his playing suffers when his Hyde (or is it Jekyll?) panders to the camera. In other news, I'm drunk.

[ChampangeSuperNovaz]

His Strumming is Godly.

[k22NiHoN]

awesome. impressive.

[pwnerinator]

2:30, did he break out the led?

[xxPxSx3xxtennisxx]

Fenomenal :D I´m going to learn this song..ABSOLUTELY!!

[hankh825]

wow, I just can't believe how he can push strings with small gaps.

[kemplerbrave]

The one's who disliked this video are in Rikers Island doing a life sentence for being plain stupid.

[MeneerWabbit]

@kemplerbrave

Either that, or they were too mesmerized by the song and clicked the wrong button :) Me being someone that always sees the good in people think it that they were too mesmerized :)

[musicmaster555]

The best kinds of musicians are the ones that recognize other instruments and their place in music and is able to integrate different instrumental techniques and practices into their own style and capabilities on a different instrument, and Jake is a perfect example. Love this guy!

[bluedoug4481]

I think his ukulele is weeping after getting the hell beat out of it...so impressive...George H. would undoubtedly love this...

[RDblues47]

great !!! freakin great !

[teresahan1991]

good part starts at 2:50 imo anyway

[TheBlackbeltGorilla]

how did people dislike this?

[adamax]

@TheBlackbeltGorilla Because believe it or not, there are idiots living on this earth.

[Umaxen]

83 people are anti-social turds...

[S20soundST3ALTH1]

If he use a ten doller ukulele that uku is broken

[supraxtrem]

haskjhdajshdgaiwhdaoiwhdjiahds­auhdsiudhaishd... sorry guys, was wipping the keyboard, i happened to be without pants when he started playing :D

[gelopinoy]

Effing AWESOME!!!!



[mrratyraty]

83 people shit their pants while watching this video

and tried to wipe their ass with the mouse and accidentally

clicked the dislike button.

[sijotakane]

@germanman95 actuary, Ryukyuan last name 

[theHouseCat]

George's favourite instrument was his uke. Great stuff.

[captainphoenix]

Tell me at the end of this show he lit his uke on fire.

[ninja221100]

I'm fillipino and i get messed up when i talk to Hawaii people. I might talk to them in tagalog and be successful or not :(

[zoot2233]

Holy Shit!!!!!!!!!!!

[amazycrazygrl13]

this...is...fucking...INSANE<3



[DucatiJohnny]

Watched this.... immediately purchased it on itunes.... watched it again, and tried to buy it again...

[mailalexjoseph]

@DucatiJohnny That's pretty dumb of of you.

[DucatiJohnny]

[jojothesurfer2]

Can i buy him to play at my house for ever?

[DrEllisCO]

Dr. Pepper Rocks!!!

[Ukulele4friends]

woww

[UnicornCivilWar]

I made my own version, but whenever I watch his I feel like a noob.

[hana764]

until you know how to play any string instrument guitar, ukelele or even violin you see that every little thing hes doing is complex ...THIS GUYS AMAZING!!!!

[kratipp]

Epic.

[gitaresco]

83 people can't stand a weeping ukulele.

[statnak5]

Jizz. in. my pants.

[TheDiaz382]

skip to 2:50 to start my guitar gently weeps

[kristibrud]

@TheDiaz382 why would we want to miss any of the intro? its all genius.

[WalkersbyGruvASW]

@TheDiaz382 Why would you even want to miss a second of that?

[beastcobain]

good shit mon'

[mikeoh10]

MEEEAAAAN ahh!

[surtikantisurtikanti]

Any info on his Asian tour? Will he ever visit Jakarta? Pls pass the info on me, many thanks everyone!

[TheJimmytjioe]

unbelieveable, i am so amaze dude

[arughpt]

WOW! What a great musician.

[Jst0911]

this guys a tool for swaying back and forth like he feels it. hes just doing that cuz theres a crowd

[CrazyDonJuanCuervo]

@Jst0911 Yes and we all know that you don't know what you're talking about.

Trying to say that he's a tool? Must take one to know one... in any case.

Try say that to people face to face, I dare you.

Unless you have something productive to say, then I suggest you stop being a troll

[dasenteney]

@Jst0911 he's asian. Of course he feels it.

[ppk16736]

[NetoMarley82]

One of the best performance i ever saw in my life!!!!

[jarosemann1228]

SEE???? DR PEPPER MAKES EVERYONE EPIC

[CrazyDongJun]

I LOVE U !!! ♥

[RipTheMangarez]

Don't yu guys realize, this is the jimmi hendrix of the ukulele

[WindFromTheEast]

@RipTheMangarez Watch him put the ukulele down and burn it.

[meaning1]

@RipTheMangarez

The Paco de Lucia of ukulele would be more flattering and more accurate a comparison ;)

[sebradfield]

@RipTheMangarez

I would compare him more to Chet Atkins, but the comparison is understood and liked.

[VivavidaDesign]

@RipTheMangarez didn't you realize... Jimi hendrix started on the ukulele and he is the hendrix of ukulele...

[RipTheMangarez]

@VivavidaDesign sorry tank :/

[VivavidaDesign]

@RipTheMangarez read Jimmy willingly accepted an old one stringed ukulele that his father found one day while cleaning out someone's garage. He worked out a number of songs on that ukulele and was influenced by the song Love is Strange the 1956 top 20 hit by Micky and Sylvia.

[WhiteSpotx]

@RipTheMangarez i hope he havent reach 27 yet >.<

[maikai196]

@WhiteSpotx jake is 34 now he was about 25 when he started rising to fame. so jake is clear of the 27 club

[iluvhawaii0111]

[saturnv3]

I love how he tuned his uke real quick right at the end.. :P

[saturnv3]

@MrShawnVue no

[MattandMaxAdventures]

When you think your amazing at something, always remember, an asian can do it better.

[illjutsu]

This dude should keep moving any which way he wants to...never heard a Ukulele played like that. Don't fix what's not broken; only the music is important.

[realeques]

Guess this is the ukuleles sungha jung. Wtf asian supremacy ;-)

[nirolevy96]

[sportsdudes4life]

[LordCleverDavid]

[Molekulica]

One more reason to love Asians!

[embi10]

[Hyper6664]

[MeetTheseIronFists]

@Hyper6664 actually... there are more deaf people in the world than that.. try guessing higher.

.. and think of a better comment.

[catsbitemyface]

@MeetTheseIronFists I don't think that every deaf person in the world would go and watch a youtube video and dislike it. Try thinking of a better comeback doucher

[MeetTheseIronFists]

@catsbitemyface Dude it was just a joke.. Simmer down. Don't start an argument on a peaceful video.

[catsbitemyface]

@MeetTheseIronFists lol

[1776amg]

I think George would love this. I wonder if Dhani has heard it?

[TomAtchleySrA]

@1776amg i am certain dhani has heard this version of his dad's song... and i am sure that like most of us... 81 deaf people not included... he loved it...

[kroepkroep]

[RussX5Z]

[LuvGiantsTorture]

Man, I am so glad Jimmy Buffett had Jake play with the band the last two times I saw them. What a find!

[prdofprd]

I'd love to see a live performance! Too bad Birchmere ran out of tickets for 2/8 show! :-(

[Lacrawdad547]

Amazing sound from a ukelele, from harp, to acoustic, beautiful !!!

[AllenWaalker]

Is he drunk?

[fizk]

@AllenWaalker If by "drunk" you mean the way your mom was when she got knocked up with you, then no, he isn't.

[AllenWaalker]

[lovellespice]

strings sound like aquilas nylgut.. what ukulele is he playing?

[neverfakethefunk]

@lovellespice I think that's a Kamaka logo on the headstock, likely custom made for him.

@neverfakethefunk indeed, limited edition kamaka. a 5000 dollar uke. I think there were only 4
