    that was amazing

  • genial!!!!!

  • this song is the beatles?

  • not at all, is on of the greatest solo hits from george harrison, one of the 4 beatles.

  • this was written while he was with the beatles so it is concidered a beatle ssong

  • Yeah and was on the BEATLES white album

  • ummm. this is a beatles song. on the white album. of course he wrote it entirely, but a lot of the later 'beatles' songs were really solo works.

  • 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.

  • thats what made them the beatles

  • didnt know a ukelele could sound that good, but he's only got four strings though..so it must be easy to play eh...?

  • 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

  • My God you are awesome! I bet you have put in a lot of time to get that good.

  • can u teach me :D ?

  • But what?

  • This cat is awesome!!! But...

  • wow... that ending was so nice

  • my mind is blown.

    absolutely outstanding.

  • seearch for cajon ... a cajon added in a cajon and its phenominal.. sp is wrong but you know what i mean

  • i've never heard of jake shimabukuro before...he's simply increadible! rip george

  • lets jam

    those chromatics sound like fun

  • I think this song sounds better on the ukelele... It's so beautiful.

  • Dude you rock

  • this is just amazing, incredible. . .

  • this is just as good as the laurence juber version

  • You are a God!!! It's the best interpretation that i seen!!!

  • That was amazing! Do you do any original music? Would love to see it if you have it

  • Eh. That was ok. :)

  • OUTSTANDING! Those strings must be pretty tough!

  • have you ever heard of george fornby

  • Geroge Fornby is GOD LOL

  • 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.

  • thanks for the post, nice uking

  • i never realised how liberating losing 2 strings could be...

  • Maestro...

  • i want one of these ukulele i play electric and acoustic gutair so this should be the same.

  • dude... unless you always have your guitar tuned in a GCEA pattern... it's going to be a bitch to get used to playing a uke. but goodluck with that.

  • God, I cannot stop watching this video. I showed all my friends, they loved it too. Epic.

  • Hey Great Video, luv' the sound

    check This really good video. I m receiving curses from jealous guitarists because of that vid.

    TAGS: while Joe moore weeps Jad 's guitar

    and plz this is not a spam it s promoting my channel (youtube's goal)

    Peace to all guitarists .

  • i keep watching this it`s so cool.

  • Amazing.

  • beautiful...thats all I can say

  • I've tabbed the whole song for ukulele in Guitar Pro now :p

  • 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...

  • I think the bass-like chord are just open strings. Changing the tope notes can make it sound like the bottom notes are changing, but they're not.

  • 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.

  • I must agree it takes a lot of practice to simulate the finger action with the music being played behind the scene.

    Good job

  • Heh, I bet you have no idea who this guy is :)

    It's like saying Travis Barker play drums to already recorded drums.

  • that was for abalanabalan

  • this is fake... a cd is played behind the scene

  • LMAO... What a Hater...LOL

  • 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

  • you are fucking AMAZING! Your going places man, get yourself regonized! great job 10/10

  • O_O.....O_O......wow......O_O

  • 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!!

  • while my guitar gently weeps?

  • Yeah, anyone knows the tuning of his ukulele, anyone got a tab or anything? Or anyone knows the songs name by George Harrison? :)

  • Ah, got the songs name

  • its a great dude , if he will go on he will go to heaven ;) , go on dude !

  • now lets hear him improvise on a blues! ;)

  • 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

  • he plays good =))  Why didn't he make a career??

  • I love this vid... especially at 2:43 when he gets into it

  • mhm

  • Ryeedafone says: is that a mini guitar? cause its bigger than mine

  • is that a baritone? cos it sounds more high tension than mine

  • Holy Crap man, This guy is good

  • Hey, that was misleading, I was expecting to see "Pride & Joy" or "Mary had a little lamb" on the ukulele! :-))

    Impressive.

  • Wow, this guy kicks ass on teh ukulele.

  • i love this guy! he's freakin awesome and the colabo's he does with nowt-so-well-knowneds is amazing! such a people person! loves it!

  • Very,very nice indeed!

  • !pretty damn good!

  • I could listen to this forever. that's how good he is! man, I loved it! ^^

  • 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.

  • i want to learn how to do that
