Close to You - Jake Shimabukuro

[aaaseo]

how'd you learn this song? :[]

[lowieyenluv]

I'm fan of jake...but better if his not Jake just don't use his name :Jake", this man rocks...but using jake's name is not appropriate...

[julyapariciocortes]

PRECIOSA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[wpfb3]

apparently 17 people thought this was jake

[simpleone1989]

wow beautiful uke! is that a clip on pickup i see?

[MrOnairos]

fucking love this!

[cherryfilters]

hey!! where can i get the tabs for this song?? jake shimabukuro's version??

[chicago911susy]

This is beautifully done!. do you know where i could get tabs for it?

[NoahTheFarmer]

great video!

[o00osimbasmateo00o]

this is fucking amazing i'll learn this song if it kills me!

[thevonbots]

It's probably been said, but technically it's not a Jake Shimabukuro song. It is a song written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David. Jake Shimabukuro covered it. As did this fellow, clearly influenced by Jake's version and playing style. Also, he plays it quite well. I certainly couldn't do it. I'll bet very few of you all could either. So, very well done indeed.

[zachmilford]

i see that external pick up how does it sound?

[bluberrypenguin]

who cares if he's not jake. just let him play the goddamn song without being annoying bitches about it.

[dave1y2000]

You still suck scumbag.

[Jimplify]

there may be times when Jake gets nervous to play but I don't believe he would openly admit to being nervous during a clip on youtube

[mondayray]

Not Jake of course

[asunoro]

joke shimabukuro?

[cutyguy05]

may i ask.. how did u guys learn it?

[Marinedippin94]

its carren karpenter close to you

[Jreynard21]

i dont think this is jake. >.> such a jealous person LOL but atleast you can do it.just do your best. :)

[Swankyjane2]

Is this a joke.

[dave1y2000]

crappy, sometimes out of tune, bad bad tone, blatant rip-off.  diaf

[pharoahscurse]

whats the tuning??

[Dankfest]

Dude's not even asian..

[imsarahrebecca]

Guys? Why do you always cry?

Isnt it Close to you by Jake? Maybe not played by jake , but its the Song

[headcrae]

you should get new strings. but awsome playing. dont get cheap strings. strings is what makes the quality of the sound

[4crows]

Hi! Do you have the chords for this u can Post?

[hicap06]

this sure isn't Jake...

Scammer...LOL

[paolitas7]

this is beautiful interpretation greetings from Guatemala

[headcrae]

lol ofcource its not jake but u did a great job playing! great uke too! sounds really clear.

[Ak0AySiKATrina]

LOL

[sabaqat]

not the guy. he is imitating him with the same style central park shirt, but jake is really professional and this guy is pretty good but not in the same league. his face is different too.

[archivestereo]

Not him, but got him 42,000 views. I saw Jake and this is not his style. It is good, however, and a clever way to rack up the posts (that's why I clicked on it).

[archivestereo]

Who needs the tab - one of the nice things is he makes it easy to figure out what notes he's using just by watching.

[soulfunkadeliq]

great job.. just awesome

[timmy1991991]

amazing.

could you tab it out?

[liebermadonna]

i agree this is not Jake.

[woppinbob]

This is pretty amazing. Could you post tabs for this? I'd love to learn how to play this.

[coughzilla]

This song is by The Carpenters

[tihdac]

can you send tabs please?

[niinarockss]

lol he may not be jake but that was still some pretty awesomee uke playing =D

[flipchachink]

this is AMAZING. sounds just like jake. can you send chords or tabs please???

thanks

[Allgreenstuff]

it also sounds like mario??doesnt it?

[daz199md]

intro sounds like legend of zelda 64...fairy fountain song?

[BorderSkt99]

awdesome dude 5 stars![[=

[guitarsnpucks]

Well Duh!~ Jake uses a Kamaka not whatever uke this dude is using!

[yaaaboii14]

jake uses other ukes to..like ko'olau.

but this isnt jake. jakes alot better.haha

[UkuLeLesReggAe]

its obviously not jake because he plays it completly different.

he never said he was jake... it just says "Close to you - jake shimabukuro"

people posts songs saying "pain - tupuc" they arn't saying they are 2pac, but they r ust saying who its by..

[BCzrUS]

ya can tell from the uke, he has his own model

but good attempt though, better uke player than me =)

[tinkunuts]

i know your not jake...

dude hes way better than that...

use your own dam name..

[Wrnglrs808LceCwgrl]

aloha....

this is NOT jake.

shame on you brah fo using his name fo get heard. you've got talent. in time you may even play as well as jake. show ur face, use your OWN name...and be proud that you can even play the ukulele. ~maui, hawaii~

[tobutori]

yeah, definitely NOT jake. no offense but jake can play better and i don't think the real jake smokes either.

[noodledum]

he's definitely not jake. But keep it going

[12ozwrecker]

No, hes not Jake...but its a good vid.

[deadbydawn96969]

hey jake or not man good stuff.

[vince237]

well if this is jake, then this song is very lowskilled.

btw its not the guitar he usually uses.

[sebenKhmer]

Hello

Very nice!

Do you know where I could find the tab?

thanks

[mashkun]

ssadly jake doesnt allow his songs to be released on the net :(

[sebenKhmer]

That is really a pity. I don't understand him. Anyway, No possibility that you send it to me so?

[mashkun]

yea it is. nah i dont know anyone that has tabs for his songs.. only ppl who learned by ear which is what im doing :)

[peterng20]

sometimes going tabless may help you on your musical development. Gotta use your ears. But yeah there are just copyright issues involved with releasing tabs plus Jake probably doesn't make tabs.

[lolxxor]

I'm sure I heard the intro exactly like that on wind waker somewhere.

Awesome none the less.

[echa309]

he's not jake shimabukuro? is he? please correct me if im wrong... cheers...

[urbaniztikz]

FUCK man all i see is can i please send cani shut the hell up up and use your ears and be real musicians.

[robeezy789]

word. i just did. lol

[skaterbam88]

best version i've heard for now

[UDwrestler13]

tabs??

[kareshi605]

do u have the tabs for this that i can get???

[lolploppoo]

mjamesse... ur bari is worth $30 this ukulele is worth about $1000... Jakes ukulele is made from different wood. Therefore sounds different and a lot better.

[monkinira]

LMFAO

[mjamessee]

Hey, what tuning is this? My baritone in tune sounds nothing like this

[marvelcraze]

It's GCEA tuning.

Baritones are usually tuned like the bottom four string of a guitar being, DGBE.

[sammygdog183]

baritone is completeley different tuning from the other sizes

[Jeanne4401]

You and your ukulele are very good !! It's very very nice ! But where did you find this tab ? Can you send me the tab please ? Thank you.

[fliptrix101]

dude, man. ur cool. can i get da tabs/ chords for this. ive been trying to figure it out.

[498skater]

please send me the tabs

[carabao800]

　うわぁ～　参ったなぁ、、、同じ千葉県民なのにオラよりずーっとずーっとウ­メーじゃねーかー！（笑）

[kenzonyamoto]
