While My Guitar (Ukulele) Gently Weeps-Jake Shimabukuro

[IWillCriticiseYou]

0:39 When the first note is played, it sounds wrong and gives a buzzing effect to the start of the song. A disappointing start to the song, that does have the ability to ruin it.

[willyboogerblues]

very cool friend! Thanks :-)

[Fattoria61]

jam, baby

[4u2b1ib12]

Seriously, you're an extremely talented guy..."damet garm" (a Persian expression wishing you prosperity for your good will)

[XAcidRainX]

this makes me so happy, there doesn't need to be a singer, its good on its own

[davidboi8397]

i never knew you could do that with a uke

[taurustbolt]

Wow, he must be 8 feet tall. He dwarfs that guitar...

[azianKevin]

its not a guitar...

its a ukulele... a ukulele is like 3 times smaller than a guitar

[taurustbolt]

it was a joke...

[Bepartofmynovel]

(I must know, I have used it here myself :) )

[butnoo]

you the best!

[azianKevin]

oh my god, he played this with a singer... imagine how freekin awesome this will be...

[Nindiscods]

saw this at philly folk fest

[seargentkong]

he plays well, but i dont really like his attitude like hes better than other musicians...just my opinion.

[iLLmlND]

I don't see where he showed any arrogance.

Mind directing me?

[aryasaja]

it's guys like these that makes me wish I can play a guitar, or a ukulele, or at least sing without making someone's ear blead.

AAARGHHH!!!! I wish!!!

[danieley4]

wow get a life

[Jakevanbeek]

i tottaly want a Ukulele now. that was insane.

ive got guitar covered, now i should try out for the mini

[grayforester]

Great technique, but I wish he didn't feel the need to go all stadium rock in the middle. The execution is obviously beyond reproach.

I guess you can't blame a ukulele player with exceptional skills for hot dogging. the instrument's reputation is not universally a good one, and sometimes just playing music well gets you nowhere. I know I'm in the minority, but this kind of exhibition play leaves me cold. To paraphrase Miles Davis, "that was good; now play me something I dig."

[dencker16]

Grayforester, you are sick

[doop445]

@grayforester It felt good for him, so he did it, stop thinking so much

[clancy013]

Wow, that is so amazing, I'm inspired!!!

[bonython04]

Holy Crap.. A friend put me onto you, I'm glad I passed by to watch. I'm big beatles fan - great to see a different spin on a greta classic...Keep up the great work

[QUARRR]

Wow, no more words, just...WOW!

[borfix]

[JGordonfan231]

I just saw this guy in concert for the first time and he is now my all time favorite, Phil Keaggy has now dropped down to 2nd favorite

[odeiocomputador]

It must be called "while my ukelele gently weeps". Fantanstic.

[kickedyk]

Jake, my friend, you are truly amazing. Keep up the good work. Give us more!

[thegovind]

[BrandiAjah]

awesome.

[oldmesh]

I have been playing guitar for about nine years. Throughout my years of playing, i sifted through the web, and countless dvds to find virtuoso's that moved me. This piece of music has by far impressed me more than the likes of guitar gods such as eddie van halen, steve vai, joe satriani, andres segovia, john mcglauchlin, etc etc. This piece of music is simply the most angelic and moving, single piece of music i have ever heard. Thanks so much for allowing me to view this masterpiece.

[Bepartofmynovel]

This video is so great, I wonder why it does not get the attention it deserves...

[shushangs]

[TheRealHydrae]
