Lovely! Why is there always a troll that doesn't like something like this? Who ever clicked on the thumbs down should change to thumbs way up!!!! awesome playing!
love all this stuff .... tried returning to playing with my old semi acoustic guild .... really struggled then swapped to uke .... and having a great time .... thanks so much for the instruction ....
❤how wonderful- swinging so beautifully- and you are really a master of this instrument- I’d love to develop just 1/3 of the skills that you have on this wonderfully sounding Uke
One of my favorite songs and Gerald, you are a master of the Uke! I have never heard this arrangement on a Ukulele and your enjoyment playing it makes it that much more fun to watch and listen to! Take the A train my friend!!
Hi Gerald, I have been admiring your playing technique for quite some time now. So effortless which is how all great musicians make music look. Do you have any plans to publish any of your arrangements so that we mere mortals could attempt to emulate you (perhaps too grandiose a thought) Just great relaxing music. Thanks again. Ben
Hi Benjamin, Thanks for the good words. Sorry, but I have no immediate plans to publish my arrangements. I do however teach various aspects of Swing Uke and my style at Ukulele festivals around the world. Check out my performance schedule on my website. www.geraldross.com Thanks.
Yeah, not bad I suppose. I mean, you know, if you insist on playing the best 'A' train ukulele version I've ever heard. Go ahead if you really must. Me, I've just about mastered the fourth line of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star on my new ukulele but let me tell you my playing on those first three lines is sublime!
Awesome uke and wonderfull, beautifully played arrangement. I was also thinking about arranging this but I think I will quit ... I can't match this version.
when you're good, you're good!...great vid..thanks
Another great rendition of an old jazz standard..many thanks!
So, if I get one of his ukuleles, I'll be able to play like you?
Effortlessly and beautifully.
Fantastic! Please make more swing tutorials on youtube. Thanks
You know what amazes me - you actually teach people how to play this stuff. Looking forward to learning more .... inspirational performance.
Simply amazing!

Great response, Crystal……really started my day with a laugh……thanks👍
Thank you
Very nice Gerald
Amazing!
Fantastic arrangements and well played. So how do I learn to play like this?
Listen to a lot of music. Not just Uke. Try to get the sounds you hear on your instrument.
Maravilloso!!
Excellent
Thanks
Brilliant, great playing Gerald. As Neil Young says in one of his songs "I would give a thousand pelts..." to play this good.
Thanks Colin25250!
Awesome uke and wonderfull, beautifully played arrangement. I was also thinking about arranging this but I think I will quit ... I can't match this version.
Awesome
sensacional
Nice solo Gerald!

You have a great touch on the instrument! Are you available August 26th 2018?
Very nice perfermance!
Bravo!^^
Duke Ellington is probably my favorite composer and this really is an amazing performance. Is there sheet music for this or did you compose it?

Flame maple is always, always sexy. hahaha

M'mm this is tasty. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Ray.
Man, dat Motor City white boy sure can play dat uke!! :-)
does he have an instructional video on this song? or somewhere I could get tabs
Does anybody know if i can get the tabs anywhere? Or of any other Uke Jazz arrangement? I need it for a music lesson performance
Sweet and swinging. Sorry to be a stickler, but you should give Billy Strayhorn credit.
Yow!
That's Tim, sorry... Spell check
What is the price for the ukulele and how can I order it?
