Jake Shimabukuro While My Guitar Gently Weeps

[ironlion31386]

Amazing!

[smoog]

Apparently 2 people have no souls...

[jblackbath]

Too bad youtube removed the star rating system. I would've clicked those stars so much they would've filed aggravated assault charges!! =D

[fatemuncher]

man this guy give me tingles!

[23cookies92chips]

BEST UKE PLAYER EVER BORN.

[angoraization]

I can't get enough of this guy! He is so talented, such an inspiration to me: a beginning ukuleleist. ( I don't know that I said that right, lol)

[lejonzx]

oh man, he double picks with his thumb!..

[davankesco]

This was so great, now on to Dark Side of Hawaii!

Jake, you Rock!!

[heymanhaha]

The asian Andre Segovia with a uke

[babaluboo123]

Wow!

That's my kind of religion.

[jblackbath]

what kind of uke does he play?? Or at least what uke is this one? And is it hooked to any regular ol' amp? It sounds incredible!!!

[mistahukulele808]

custom made for Jake by Kamaka ukulele plugged in to the sound system at the festival...

[babbersabber]

@mistahukulele808 it's a tenor, I think.

[jblackbath]

@mistahukulele808 Thanks :) I wonder if its a tenor.. Concert maybe?

[m1c4a3LAn6eL0]

so what else did you mean by that richmitch64. you obviously know it will offend people. there are folks that might even be physically challenged to play the guitar. as for ukulele, it's just so much more soothing. the ukulele was never meant to take the place of/ nor compete against a guitar, but quite honestly, jake shimabukuro would be the next best thing

[richmitch64]

i think that ukelele is kindof fcked up(NO OFFENSE TO ANYONE)

[mrsmime100]

the Eric Clapton of ukulele!

[Cavalistik]

@mrsmime100 Eric Clapton? haven't you seen the beggining? he's more like the Joe Satriani of ukulele!

[codejill]

"While My Ukelele Even More Gently Weeps"

[erikrei]

Sick as always. Are there any good tabs for the chorus and main melody at least?

[jhummus]

Well...if someone wanted to tab his intro it is possible but it probably wouldnt come out the same....personally i think tabs are only as good as the person trying to play the material...

[katew420]

woooot! awesome shit! Where can i see this guy live??!

[blackdea297]

i'm just trying to figure out how many times he's made his fingers bleed perfecting this song.

[TheAinokeatoo]

LOL funny thing with the beginning, is he's just messing with scales yet it comes out so badass.

[jhummus]

isnt all picking pretty much messing with the scales? ..its when he starts adding in blues or jazz influences it really gets complicated... there is a method to the madness..

[TheAinokeatoo]

That's the thing, everyone is so blown away "OMG I WANT TABS" lol when he's just messing with scales, improv'ing.

[TheMepo]

This is the most soothing stuff i have ever heard, first listened to Jake while station at Camp Fuji in Japan. Takes all the cares from work away.

[Tage7n]

And I can't study for my psychology final! UGH! Jake, you rock too much!

[AdolescentWings]

DAMNIT...! I can't study for my calc final because I'm so mesmerized my his hand movements on the ukulele

I CAN'T KEEP MY EYES OFF THE SCREEN xD

[turdfacesaywhaaaa]

Just saw him this past friday.

Best show i've ever seen.

[abjafriggitywhoo]

I'd love to see what this guy could do on guitar, that in itself would be pretty fucking insane

[19bucky79]

Got to see hime live in Hawaii. Very animated. Great show altogether.

[spongybob33]

haha... electric ukulele... :P

[lcleversley]

Bravo..... Just can't find a word worthy enough to describe what you do..... Simply awesome!!

[derksteele]

Really great concept and cover - love it!

[itsrainingfruit]

this beats all the other recordings on so many levels..

[bulboflight]

*orgasm*.....

*falls to ground*

[PoketrainerSchmee]

I half expect him to cry out "I've got blisters on these fingers!"

[bilofuckforever]

Sweet mother of moses, he is good!!

farrrrrrrrr better than the original

[gjohnmac]

Thank me for watching?  No...Thank you for posting...He is amazing!.....It makes me want to weep gently....wow

[guitarguy159]

lol @gjonmac

[PPKLU]

not that i know a lot of ukulele players, but he is by far the best i know.

[Ka1a1aika]

Best version from him so far! :)

[katew420]

That was the fucking coolest thing ive ever seen!!

[andradaSirbu]

Genius!

[lalaborat]

I had like multiple orgasms on this song. Too good.

[iamthebyron]

I completely agree with folkpoet; Jake just keeps improving! I saw him (for the second time) last weekend and the version of this song he played was even better than the first time I'd seen him, which was in turn even better than his famous Central Park video. Go see him in concert if you get the chance; we had a great time.

[folkpoet80]

He just gets better with each performance of this song. I would rate this definitely as his masterpiece along with The Touch!

[MartyMcFly700]

Absolutely some of the most beautiful music in the world

[ScottStahlecker]

Watched Jake play a few months back in Alaska. Nice of him to brave the cold up this way. iconic!

[smoothJAZZCRUSADER]

♪♪♪ simple amazing!

[home5weethome]

Ukulele-GOD status!

[Natrokal]

ive been playing ukulele for 5 yrs, and i pretty good but i can never compare myself to Jake, no freaking wayyy.... Jake Shimabukuro, ur the best in teh world hands down...!

[hekanealiloa]

damn jake owns. i been playin the uke for 4 years now and dont even come close. as soon as i learn the piano a lil better im gonna start studying the ukulele even harder

[BorderSkt99]

oops i meant Portuguese immigrants lol

[john70420]

thanks for posting

[BorderSkt99]

i didnt realize his uke was this small, looked a bit bigger in other vids

[adlsp]

BorderSkt99,

I bet you also didn't know that the ukelele was introduced by Portugese immigrant workers to Hawaii...

[BorderSkt99]

Naw i pretty much knew ukes came from portugese,creator's Manuel Nunes correct?[=

[BorderSkt99]

lol naw i knew that i studied it in my music class[=

[spacedogs]

[donaldthepwnerer]

[footballplayer209]

[deviljabberwock]

[hesham8]

Actually, piezoelectric. Electric would have a pickup.

[lilmark816]

WHats a pick up? a thing inside the uku to pick sounds up?

[thrasher3x]
