While My Guitar Gently Weeps

There are probably more versions of this song than any other on Youtube.

This was recorded for a student who wanted a basic strumming version as opposed to picking the individual notes.

This is played on my Glyph custom Wahine Po`o tenor ukulele.

At around :59 is that just a regular pull off? Because every time I try and play it it doesn't exactly sound the same.. Not as elegant I guess you could say

[Dominatoruke]

No, not a pulloff at all. It is a hammer on from the 5th to 7th fret immediately followed by plucking the 5th fret then the 7th fret. All of this on the 1st A string of course.

Search here on YT for user UkuCous. He has done a video series tutorial for this that is pretty darn good. Should be all the help you need.

Is this song possible on a soprano uke? thats what i have and i dont know if i can!~

[Dominatoruke]

You need at least 15 frets on your uke to play weeps. Some sopranos with the extended fingerboard will have enough frets but will lack the headroom needed to provide the sustain that is needed to make it sound good. It can still sound good on a soprano uke if played with great precision and control. Good luck.
