  • Man that's sick!!!

  • earplaying is good! I do also!

  • kid, I totally love our hair!

  • 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!!!

  • Five kids didn't like the trumpet playing.band

  • Stole my username! Jk not really

  • Your vocals ~really~ bring this all together. Very very good work, great version of the song. Much respect.

  • KID YOU ARE SO AWESOME

  • you´re amazing! how do you record it? is it a program( could you say the name)?

  • WOW! Great! Best regards from Thuringia, germany

  • Genius ! <3

  • Sounds great man , good job!

  • You are such an ukulele rock star.

  • haha, this kid rocks with his ukulele of mass destruction

  • YOU ARE AWESOME.

  • u have goos sense of rhythm that u can put those audio tracks together and that they fit. i had problems with rhythm myself

  • you are good cause u are having fun (^^ ,) , if someone plays any instrument pushing himself to do it, there is no point.

  • SUPERB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

  • toca demais!!! feraaaaa...!!!

  • 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 !

  • fake?!

  • @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.

  • @adhd85 - people are always quick to call everything they see a fake. a video ain't always gonna show everything, fake or not.

  • @adhd85

  • Oh man, initially I thought your ukelele was awesome, but so is your singing! You ABSOLUTELY nailed the song!!!

  • i've been watching your videos. your getting so much better... this one is absoloutly fantastic.!

  • i never thought i'd see a ukulele with flames. god bless the kids for making nerdy instruments cool once more! take that, don ho!

  • cute

  • you have a hell of a lot stringed instruments

  • DEADLY

  • good to see another youngster like myself that enjoys the dire straits and well played on the uke

  • !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    

  • About as cool as I have ever seen! what chords are you using?

  • Hey man, the effort u must put in is incredible, you are an inspiration, keep it up :-)

  • Great job! I like it.

  • you little shit...keep it up...i envy you rediculous...im sure im not the only one...

  • good charisma, kid.

  • HOLY FUCK THAT IS AWESOME!

  • kick ass!!

  • Have you ever thought to do a video tutorial?

  • You are absolutely amazing! Are you playing lead on the video with the rhythm part pre-recorded in the background? Great job!

  • @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!

  • @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!

  • @helaine625 Thank you :)

  • @Evilhamster95 - Audacity! nice.

  • You are absolutely amazing! On this video are you playing lead and is the rhythm part pre-recorded in the background? GREAT job!

  • glad you are interested in good music. great ukeing

  • OMG, Amazing !

  • Please cover a couple WEEN songs.

  • Man, i love the playing, but i think the song is better suited for the octave its originally sung it.

  • Dynamite job! Now I gotta practice harder.

  • amazing the best cover i've seen on uke great man

  • As a fellow ukulele player, I just wanted to say I love your covers.

  • flea

  • go boy

  • WOW!

  • 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. :)

  • wow, you play that by ear? I salute you! Great taste in music, great covers, great style! Keep it up bro!

  • Nice job!! ;-)

  • Amazing! Love the song, love your playing. Now how about some tabs for the rest of us.

  • Sorry, I play by ear :(

  • never seen such a great cover of this on a uke

  • wow, i have to admit on first impressions i wasn't expecting much but then i was really pleasantly surprised! that was sweet!

    talk about judging a book by it's cover ;)

  • Pure Awesomeness! :D

  • gillar ditt originella ljud.,.riktigt bra,se bara till att akta dig för idol och dyl.

  • Great playin' kid!!!...ang awesome taste in music ;)

  • Excellent!!

  • Duuuude! Well Done 5* and fav'd!

  • I must have an mp3 of this for my ipod. You totally rocked my socks with this one! :) Is there any chance you could do Skate Away or Expresso Love?

    Thanks Eric!

  • Oh man you are so great. I saw your Hotel California cover to and it was awesome too like this one.

  • Great job!!! that was sweet!!!

  • I see you're from Sweden as well, :)

  • Japp, jag är svensk :)

  • Really cool!

  • Yeeeeeee!!!!! Great !!!

  • 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.

  • it's great dude

  • Its nice to see youth still has a taste in good music. many props bro.

  • 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!

  • Rad

  • well done,, leads were really gr8,,, and also reminded me of my brother,,,, so cute

  • cuuuuuuuuuuuuuute :D

  • Awesome!

  • Is someone else playing the other ukelele?

  • he recorded solo guitar part after that and mixed two tracks then

  • where did you get the tab for this

  • Great job!

  • Extremly good!

  • Vaya con el chiquillo :D

  • good playing!

  • Esperant3: I've seen your stuff and you have nothing to come with. Jealous? Don't take out your pitiful frustrations on ppl with skills.

  • Ma dicoo! hai visto come suonaa?

    cazzo è un Dioo!

    poi è stupenda la canzone *ç*

  • Isn't that a land in Africa?

  • Man for such a young guy you are truly an amazing artist, keep it up and you're going places.

  • Maximum Respect to you "clap clap"

  • I would have never suspected this song could be covered on the uke, but you nailed it epically! Great work!

  • Check out Ukulele George, he knows all the chords!

  • Who plays in the background at the solo?

  • Awesome playing!!

    Where did you get the Ukulele tabs from?

    or could you post them?

  • 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.

  • U goy skillz!!!!!!!

  • wow you have many guitars...

  • 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!
