WOW!!! when I first found your channel through FTM, I was only interested in your original music because thats my thing! I've never seen anyone cover this song and this is an effing brilliant job.. you are officially one of the best, most original musicians I have ever seen on youtube and believe me, thats saying something!! 've said it before and I'll say it again... you are awsome!!!
This is outstanding! It sounded excellent! You're an excellent musician! I'm trying to learn this song, and I've got the chords down, but none of the stuff you were playing. I don't suppose you'd be interested in posting a tutorial?
Great rendition of this song. You are so accomplished for a young dude.
I dig your enthusiasm and I play your video a few times a day ever since I discovered it a few weeks ago. You are a 'natural'. I also like your other posts, especially the one with brother on Melodica. Bravo !
@adhd85 Nope. It's kind of laid out like a music video. I recorded the music first, then I recorded the video. That's why it might not always match up. I played everything, though.
@helaine625 Thanks! For this video I actually recorded the music first in Audacity, and then I recorded the video listening to the music. So... It's more like a music video, actually.
@Evilhamster95 Yes, that's what I meant, only you explained it better... LOL. My daughter has done similar things and has made layered recordings using guitar, cello, piano and other things all on separate tracks. She also plays by ear. Keep up the good work!

Where can I see you on stage? I'm amazed to see that kind of presence, charisma and outstanding ukemanship on such a young dude. Keep it up. I have a feeling world is going to hear from you big time in the future. :)
i wish i was as good as you on the uke. even though you're no guam kid i'm assuming that you figured the song out on the uke yourself and that is badass. i figured out the chords today but i wish i could add some of the licks in between chords like you're doing. i know you also dubbed over some of the solo stuff but you had an impressive amount of licks going on with the main chording part. i am a fan. you should record an album.
Kid, you're amazing. I love that you play the ukulele! This is a very under-estimated instrument played by a very talented musician. And a very nice song choice as well. Bravo, my man, bravo!
My fav band of all time, well maybe equal to Pink Floyd, but this was awesome :o) I have heard many people try to hook Dire Straits, but never on a Uke!! Awesome.
It was watching this video that made me go and buy my first uke a couple of months or so ago and I haven't put it down since, thanks for inspiring me!
First of all : I don't care what instrument you play... when a kid your age plays classic songs like Sultans of Swing so well, that is really unusual and extremely cool!
Beautiful job. Your versatility is awesome. I am happy to be able to see you with the use of this computer. I would never have had this kind of exposure when I was a kid. Keep it up and I hope to see you in the states one day.
