I saw him yesterday, he made the first part of tommy emmanuel's concert in Lyon (France). It was marvellous, amazing. And he is very close to his public.
i dont rearlly listen to them but i cant see this being a beatles song... beatles are gay and hopefully dead of old age but this guys very good and not gonna die of old age very soon lol
multiple things: 1. this song was originally by just george harrison. thats y it doesnt sound like a beatles song. 2. the beatles kick ass 3. only 2 are dead and not of old age so stop disrespecting them.
kk im not sure who george harrison is but if hes a beatles member and composed this piece then that man atleast is alot more talented than my ''beatles'' concept but with all due respect ive heard some of the bands music but i just feel very gay listening to them i would call them one of the worst bands ive heard i just cant get my head round the emotional excessive of happiness or anything there music persues to me.
I too was misinformed about The Beetles until recently. In actuality, they had a very psychedelic and dark side. The pop part was only a part of what they were.
like you need another comment saying how good you are. i thought you were gonna set the uke on fire or break it or something. I had an erection the whole time
this is absolutely amazing. I never thought that an instrument with 4 strings could sound SOOO beautiful. He really really did an amazing job on this cover. I love it so much. Thanks for posting this.
No offense, but I dont know how he can play the chords and have that straight bass-like chord playing at the same time (1:41 - 1:50)...Maybe its just me... But this song is pretty cool...
Even if there was a cd in the background, who do you think is playing the ukulele note by note, not to mention all the chords he is playing. That's a ukulele and a ukulele sound. There's know background' music, he is playing all alone and is so good an animateur would think there's music in the background. If you have an ear for music you would truly hear it. To a trained eye I can see the moves he is doing. He is using a pick an rhythm plus a roll. This guy has talent.
Man, what are you talking about, anybody that can play knows this is real, this guy is really good, all you have to do is watch his fingers and listen. I don't anybody that can play a ukulele like he does, I know because I play guitar, mandolin and banjo. I've seen ukulele players and I haven't seen anyone that play's it like him.
Did you want to give him a kiss and a cuddle too? Whether or not this is a CD, he is cool... Don't see where the people get so cut when people bag him out. Although abalanabalan is a hater...LOL
THIS IS A TRUE THING!!PASTE THIS MESSAGE INTO 3 COMMENTS AND HIT ALT F1 AND YOUR CRUSSHES NAME WILL APPEAR!!it will be a little scary at first but its cool!!
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! i feel really guilty but before i saw this clip a ukulele was just sth that accompanied the dansers in grass skirts... but it really is a beautiful instrument!
I just saw this guy in my home town, Fort Smith Arkansas so I guess he is trying to make a career but yeah it was an amazing concert. I never thought I would be entertained for 2 hours by an ukulele
I got to meet him after a bela fleck and the flecktones concert. He's realllllllllly talented (if you couldn't tell) and just about the nicest person I've met. A good 50 people stupidly kept asking him "what is that instrument?"- and everytime he was really polite to talk about it. I would've smashed something over their head personally.
This could be in 1080 and your strumming hand would still be blurry. That was amazing
