[jonnyma138p]

I have this song on my iPod and I listen to it all the time. His name is jake shimabukuro or something. I'm not sure on his last name. He is the best.

[nicole22rox]

[LadyCowbell]

This guy is crazy good at the Ukulele I just started learning.

[RedHotBlinkingpepper]

I've seen many "worlds best ukulele player " videos , but this guy is truly the best

[7awrence]

I want to smack the 33 dislikers. That was amazing! Wish there was a better quality video.

[Brutos2826]

[lotchryk]

[buzeo3]

[ImYourDeity]

[gris186]

The new youtube player is BULL!

[Sponga96]

this is not the originla video so if you want to have a better quality see the original and dont puss around

[tomfoolery2117]

@Sponga96 Yeah, i first saw this several years ago on here and thought that the quality was much better last time i looked it up...you know the link?

[imthatguy69]

i think they recorded this with a potato... this is worse than calculator quality

[valazquiz]

[dspothawaii]

He is just an average player.

[Romansssz]

ahh goddamn 240...

[David7701]

That was wonderful, beautiful and amazing. I just bought a ukelele and learning. This is inspiring. May I know the name of the player and is it a concert size ukelele?

[andrewaccountius]

@David7701 That is Jake Shimabukuro. I think he is playing his tenor.

[58lbinder]

I thought I was good at the ukulele.... Then I saw this video

[alif33]

hate the video, love the sound.. so, im facebooking while this video gently weeps.

[camiliamusic]

What kind of ukulele are you using? I'm looking to buy one and trying to find the right one..

[Jun1mperial]

Concert



[ernestryles]

@Jun1mperial pretty damn sure jake plays tenors.

[Gxyz222]

30 people prefer to listen to those crappy ukulele players that play nonsense on corporate radio stations and corporate tv commercials!

[cocacolacriminal]

is that a soprano, concert or tenor?



[TheWatchify]

<3 Amazing Man, great ukulele cover. If only I was this good!

[MrPhillieskid]

[drswanson123]

[songbird60]

Amazing! Love that sound! What type of Uke do you play and what kind of strings are you using? Beautiful playing. I want to learn to play like that!

[samhaines100]

[DAOfanatic]

[abridgedfan107]

[TheJMELBO]

it's ironic because he's playing "while my guitar gently weeps" on a ukulele XD

[13enLim]

i fail to see why image quality is important in a video of someone playing music. you can hear fine, yes?

[ShawnQuiQui]

29 people failed attempting to play this

[tabio01]

My Friend Knows How To Play This!!!!

So This Is Not The Uke Player..

[Pvtf1]

[natetechrock]

[JGervstudios2011]

@natetechrock Tay Zonday's in fact! 

[alexsmeels]

[natetechrock]

@alexsmeels haha i didnt even notice that. im asian so i dont give a fuck :D have a nice day

[songsfor2]

Awsome playing. Too bad the visual portion of the video was so bad. Truly the best ukulele playing that I have ever heard.

[Ironman7100]

That's so awesome! You have some real talent. Keep up the good work

[libbysf]

:O

[50Guitarplayer]

Beautiful!!!

[gigglyphobia]

@11011walker backson

[spazzliciousful]

This is awesome man, I will never underestimate hte ukelele as a guitarist ever again :P

[chrisbeastros75]

what song is this?

[MrPawny98]

please make a video on how to play that song.

[TheNintke]

Unbelievable! Great! Extaordinary!

[Brynjulvify]

The worst thing is that Sungha Jung randomly picked up the ukulele and played it better.

[george52084]

@Brynjulvify if you think that Sungha Jung plays this better then you need to get your hearing check! This guys rhythm is spot on! In Sungha Jung's cover he looks at the camera every time he messes up. Not saying he isn't good just saying he didn't do better than this guy.

[sabaqat]

@george52084 i agree, the rhythm in this is better than sungha jung's rhythm, that's why it's so powerful. sungha jung is obviously really good, but the performance is more about what a wonderful musician he is and not as much about the music. sungha jung is better to learn from though because you can see his fingers, the video's higher quality... also that's why kt tunstall was so good when people saw her perform, because her rhythm is so unstoppable.  anyway that's just my useless opinion:)

[george52084]

@sabaqat your opinion matters, and you are right sungha jung is an amazing musician and is such a joy to listen to!!

[TheGuitarcoverperson]

@george52084 but his fans give him a hard time on looking at the camera. He probably does it for his fans regardless he messes uo because the just dont care

[BrutalTurtle]

SUPERB QUALITY.

[Guyvh1]

29 people are fags

[TristenShack]

@Guyvh1 your gay

[sotordamotor]

@Guyvh1 so... gay people cant like ukulele's?

[lilwyvern4]

Never thought I'd see the day when the ukelele would sound COOL.

[dtosh100]

can you get this song by him on itunes? whats his name

[TheHunterHatfield]

@dtosh100 Jake Shimabukuru

[Windspiel65]

Did he sell his soule to the Devil or why so he can play the ukulele on that fantastic way :)...

[fijian650]

27 ppl are gay and dont kno how to play a ukulele

[JerseyBean1000]

awesome dude! 

[beckwithpj]

i saw this guy live at the opera house

[15soccerkev15]

heard him on npr and he said this is the video that got him famous

[andandy101]

Incredible

[o4o4oto]

An inexcusably poor copy of the video Ukulele weeps by Jake Shimabukuro which already has well over 7 million views.

[dondev54]

Bravo ! You are the Paco de Lucia of the uke!

[TheJonben]

Indeed one of the best acoustic I've come across so far!

[HollyvanderFlash]

do you have a tab for this please, i think its awesome.

[kemala1923]

Not just the uke weeping.  Perfect phrasing.

[MrDEADCELL1]

Fuck you haha

[lapatoa]

[danno698299]

[spum789]

[kingeskimo]

Nice nice sound! And well played.

[allpau111]

Jake Shimabukuro. the guy that can make peoples ears have an orgasm.

[wyattbulletproofearp]

this is more like guitar

[wikichris]

Reminds of one of my favourite sayings about the ukulele being a shit song detector: "If it sounds good on the ukulele it's a good song".

[DVPaustralia]

i could count the pixels in this vid..

[MrMichehl]

Super ! Super ! Super !

[JamesGs831]

Is it just me or every song sounds better when played with a ukulele?

[rtgerwaski]

Wow... absolutely bitchin'!

[Yoshitorisae]

While my Ukulele gently weeps~♪

[MrShadaza]

I can do that! *shifts eyes*

[GlenOakburn]

One of my all-time favourites!

[soccerwin55]

Wow you are really good!!!!

[TUENBAND]

THIS FUCKING COOKS.YOUR VERSION OF THE TUNE IS BEATIFUL.I NEVER LIKED THIS SONG BEFORE.

AS FOR THE 25 "DISLIKES"-YOU PEOPLE HAVE TOO MUCH NEGATIVE ISSUES.THE MAJORITY OF YOU ARE COMPARING HIM TO SOMEONE ELSE & HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE TITLE(WORLDS BEST).THIS IS THE OPINION OF THE GUY WHO POSTED IT.DEAL WITH IT.......CHILDREN.

[quentinpeterson]

@TUENBAND breath bro................

[TheBiatcher]

@TUENBAND capslock ftw^^

[F1ferrari]

brilliant i loved it

[slatibaadfast]

If you are that impressed with his playing, at least have the decency to use his name, as opposed to 'this guy'. his name is Jake Shimabukuro and he started learning and playing the Ukulele at aged 4.

[kylejaime]

not the best in the world but one of them

[moty156]

his right and left hands has difference size?

[TheMrsilence]

got to say man.. you got some nice lil guitar skillz there ^^

[TheTotallyNormal]

[LoveTunedGuitar]

2:40 you're funny.

[TOLN38]

[SAInomyKO]

[julianmartin10]

@SAInomyKO Tenor.

[reptor62]

[justinfeasby69]

george harrison.....what about clapton, he played that sweet song....love it though....wish I could do that with mine! NICE PLAYIN'!!!

[584600123]

25 people suck balls :)

[coasterface]

[tomvband]

Well, if he isn't the best, he's gotta be scaring the hell out of whoever is the best.

[kurtrossproductions]

crazy bro!

[robin499]

George Harrison was the most inquisitive and creative of the Beatles,as far as being a musician and learning new instruments.His study of the sitar and other traditional Indian instruments greatly effected the Beatles last few albums.He could write very beautiful melodies and did not get the recognition that John and Paul did for composing.

[18AKUNA]

all i can say is WOW

[ph1losoph]

no fake... only bad quality... This is so amazing... nice work... this video had more views with better quality on another video
