A very skilled guitar player, playing "While my guitar gently weeps" song by the Beatles.
this was the first song ive ever heard played on ukulele before, and it was a great first impression. This guy is very tallented as you already know, we need more artist like this in our mainstream. The view of music was forever changed into a galavanting of mostly bad music and good looks. Music needs to find its roots, and revert to stuff like this. Great job, plain and simple.
Please don't take my comments offensively. They were not ment to be so, i dont want to start a fight of comments that you see on so many other pages.
his name is jake shimabukuro, really big in hawaii. He does other beatles songs, and has a record out. just a little background info
By Tubadude 1141237688Beatles are always in our heart! Best perfomance - congratulations.
By Celteiro 1179202093talking about playing with feeling.. man that was awsome, cant even describe it.. whoa..
By Liuri 1172223146thats just amazing!!!!! never heard something like this before! i'm speechless!
By horus88 1154452153Does anyone have an idea what model his ukulele is? It has a beautiful tone to it, to get that kind of sound from that small an instrument, there must be some expert craftsmanship in that! (If anyone knows please reply to my comment. cheers!)

Thanks for the reply. But i'm very sad to say that not only do I not live near that area but i don't even live on the same continent. Or for that matter in the same hemisphere. I'm an aussie.
It would be a good show to see! Does he ever come out this way? Thanks again mate.
his web site on another post in here. wish I could help gotta run now.
if have a 100 stars,...i give u full...
very talented man...very nice..
If you have seen this then you must have seen the version he plays with Tommy Emmanuel that is just aw striking, if you haven't seen it, I would recommend checking it out, the first time I saw this I was amazed and then I saw that version.
By Godmonkee 1249220218Listening to this made me feel really good, as if I was in harmony with my psyche.
By lunasspecto 1173569380Great cover band from Bakersfield.
By ronniejamesdiodorant 1170523390I saw this guy play at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival a few years back. He had the audience enthralled. I had a chance to meet him briefly while I was there, he's a soft spoken unassuming, and friendly person. I am glad to see so many people appreciate his talent and wish him the best.
By arborio 1163486511I've never heard music from a ukulele before. That was captivating.
By quinta 1162412560That was amazing. I challenge any of our commercial-pop icons to produce or even perform something like that -- it could never happen. Bookmarked :)
By snapdad 1160154510Gearge Harrison! while my guitar gently sleeps! This is older than dirt!
By heczy 1161539604That was kewl.I love The Beatles!That song is one of my favorites.
By Viktory 1149033866I have been a classical musician all my life and... only a handful of performances have brought tears to my eyes. Great song choice man... Not only impressive technique but even though some people would see the repetitions as a barrier you made them sing man... you made them sing. I'll definitely try to use ukulele in my future projects...
Please post more.
I WASN"T BEING OFFENSIVE WHY CENSOR IT!!!
By Frogmancito 1148099530You bought the room to silence, no one moved, no one spoke. Mesmerised by a wonderfully gifted musician. Keep playing. Katlin1
By katlin1 1146260197Great melody, strumming, and lead of his music... very touchable and soft to hear
By ultima214leikangeles 1143721378this is his official website. you can buy his CD's and see other stuff he's done. www. tinyurl. com/ efmg5 [delete spaces, other wise they wouldn't let me post it] or just go there directly at:

"while my guitar gently weeeeps"!
i prefer this version lol
I'm a musician myself, and very much a purist when it comes to music. I love instrumental music, i always believe that if the player is a good virtuoso, then he/she should be able to make his/her instrument sing for them. This gentleman truly has great talent and technical ability. Beautiful to listen to. And can convey all emotions needed through his ability. Keep up the good work!
(If he has a cd out could someone let us know. And if its out in Australia. Cheers.)
One of the most beautiful, musical, and technically impressive things I've ever heard played on any instrument, much less a uke. Does this guy sell CDs?
By bugdoc 1139463661Magic fingers bravo,hope to hear you play someday or at leat buy your cd all the best you are very talented....
By ombiet 1139353823You go dude! I'm in a band and I play and sing that song on the piano. I sound like a grade schooler compared to you. Do you have a web site?
By dancetothemusic 1138427889In your hands sir, it weeps. Then, with Aloha, it sings. Stephen.
By SpectreDeed 1137832819Playing a song that was meant for a different instrument is always harder. And this guy is playing almost all the parts of the song, vocals, lead guitar, and rhythm guitar, with just the ukulele. It's great.
By hobbes3 1135831419wow great song, i never heard any of my friends trying to play it, but this guy is awesome
By chrisdarmanin 1135548914I cant believe how stuck up your own arse you are, making judgements like that, do you realise how hard it is to play a string instrument? Seriously, it takes years to perfect a technique. I think it would comical to see someone as big headed as you trying to play that.
By alexguitarist 1134921129i wanna see his reaction when the cameraman says... "sorry mate, we didnt get it, could you just...err.. do it agian"
By KX36 1133984181this guy is purely a masterpiece in guitar ....... incredible that hand looks fake in the 3 quarters part! machine hand ....lol silly camera
By Linglingling 1133315749Hát tényleg állati!!! Szeretnék majd én is megtanulni ÃÂgy játszani húros hangszereken...
By CheeryCherry 1133044660this is an amasing piece of music and its very calming and soothing. almost like ure in heaven. i respect the amount of work it must have taken to learn that song.... well dun!!!!!!
Mish
and i am a die hard gamer
but this you can put so in a final fantasy game
i9 think i gona move frome here to there
he is my guitarist hero, well he is my 3rd. He is so talented but i would love to here the speed like the guitarist angelo. But i would rate that 5 cause he is one of the best!
By Aswome 1132471373F**king klesshness!! you go chinese dude!! XD XD :P :P .. you shall soon be famous all over teh world:P
By 1132090375Like I said, Stunned, this man is amazing. Play guitar myself, but this is beyond.. .... Stunned!!!!!!
By 1132064451Hi, A friend sent me this by e-mail and what a nice way to start off the day. Great performance.
By 1132061508My fokking GOD! I was so stunned and impressed I actually cried at the end... what the hell? now THIS is music! THIS is talent! so beautiful... damn! never knew a ukelele could make such sweet sounds... sh!t, I still got chills! where can find this guy online??? I've tried that website, but can't find it
By 1132056215Well doneyou are a very talented person keep up the good work. That was simply beautiful... a lovely and creative rendition!!! wow! I was touched.
By 1132050454i love the beetles' white album , and anyone who can replicate a song without distroying it's integretity is definiately A-OK in my book
By 1132032841Just like Stanley Jordan, amazing technical prowess, expanding the vocabulary of his instrument, an innovator, yada yada yada. But it is ultimately just muzak to my ears.
I'd like to hear him do something more edgy, less Windham Hilly.
This guy is "fantastic" to say the least. But can u use your imagination and wonder what it would be like if he teamed up with that "incredible guitar" guy.
By 1132023156Jake is the best sice ELvis Presley & Drake Bell Jake rox!!!!!!!!!!!!
By 1132017074that is the best music ive herd since ELvis Presley and Drake Bell Jake rox dudes and dudets
By 1132016824all you bigots that are negative towards this guy, what exactly have you got to show for yourselves apart from being wankers, at least he can share his talents with people who can appreciate what he does.
By 1131997136HE REALLY ENJOYS PLAYING AND IT SHOWS.LIKE TO SEE MORE OF HIM.
By ruready 1131993105When an artist captures the essence of a piece of music,written by someone that has passed away, It brings the person back to life in a way. Thoughtful to perform the composition in central park Thank you for making my day.
By 1131981985Doesnt; even friggin download but makes you download some other crap instead. Waste of time Newmarket Blue
By 1131978591Most moving experience I've had in a while. To see such artistry in action and the sounds he was able to produce from that small instrument is amazing. I'll be looking forward to hearing more from him.
By 1131974743ok dickhead. first of all. how could jake be muslim. his last name is shimabukuro. since when was that a muslim given name??? and second of all. you can't say that S**ks . that song was originally done on two guitars and a keyboard. and he has mastered it on a ukelele. four strings and two octaves. he literally breaks the boundaries of the uke. well done jake. unbelievably awesome. love that first riff
By Kingy92 1141782497ur just jelous, dont think that ur anonymous in the net, u can be tracked down and sent to jail for being a racist
By 7amo0d 1132561393I absolutley (spelt wrong obviously) love this guy! Amazing how the whole sound comes out of that little tiny thing! If you're not impressed by this, you have problems ^_^
By 1131973830The "Jimmy Hendrix" of the Ukulele, he has a new cd out called Dragon, you can get it from his website www.jakeshima bukuro.com or itunes. i have seen him in concert on the 5th row back and amazing doesnt even come close to describe his talent. heartbeat is my favorite song from the album Walking Down Rainhill if you wanted another song to listen to. neway, he is fantastic and i recommend getting some of his music the speed/ complexity at which he plays is simply unbelievabe, if you have the means of going to a concert i highly recommend going to it and getting the closest seats possible enjoy
By 1131961045I would definetly like to hear some more of this guy's music. Fuckin Great
By 1131951157This guy has practiced a great deal. He has "While My Guitar..." down cold. He is great.
By 1131945542This is one of the most greatest songs in my opinion. If I'm not mistaken he said the song titles is "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" by The Beatles. He's very skilled.
By 1131943782While my guitar gently weeps by George Harrison. One of the best songs ever written
By Aussie_Vixen58 1131874681I adore such playing,
so lovelyl
i wish i can do something like that.
my regards to all guitarists.
and I used to play the uke when I was a kid. It's not that hard to learn, but in all my born born days, (50 years of it), I have never ever seen anybody play the uke like this guy. He is beyond talented. Probably more like "GIFTED".
By lienad 1138237320A very talented youn man would like to see more of him in future
By mblmike 1131453743no mames, no sabia que la madresia esa se pudiera usar asi, pinche bato esta pero bien perro. woooooow toca con madre
By 1131383680http://www.metacafe.com/watch/351181/ukulele_concert_by_jake_shimabukuro/
By tchan24 1166823334what is this calling him skilled? Comon anyone could play that just give me a few days
By Edwyn 1134173883Great! His playing and $2 will get him on the subway; Better yet, he should be playing IN the Subway.
By 1132064414And my initial suspicion was correct. It IS shite and why all you nobbers are getting hard-ons over it is beyond me. I guess you find The Osmonds entertaining.
By 1132063223The Lord works in strange ways. He gifts this marvelous young man with talent beyond normal comprehension and then turns around and burdens society with mentally challenged bufoons like you. Watch the movie "Soilent Green", as that would be a perfect destiny for all the planet's rejects, with you at the top of the heap of useless souls.
