- Опубліковано 26 вер 2024
- One of my favorite performances by Jake Shimabukuro I fee like I need to share this with the world. If I have died without watching this I don't think I've lived my life to the fullest...
Met this man and heard him dozens of times when I lived on Oahu. He is amazing. And a damn nice guy.
He is from Hawaii?
I was at the band stand in Kap Park,, also at the Uke Festivals. So glad i lived on Oahu.. worked in the same block art Kamaka factory, Fell in love with the uke,
I first saw his band Pure Heart in 1999 at a street festival in Honolulu. Seen him about a dozen times since.
I've been to a few of his concerts when he comes to Austin. Jake stayed afterwards to meet his fans and sign CD'S and other merchandise. Yes, he is a nice guy.
Hats off to the strings for hanging in there
🤣😂🤣
The perfect fusion of someone who listened to their teachers AND listened to themself.
All those melodies and strums of emotions reflected only by using the 4 strings... I bow to you, sir..
graviron I see what you did there
was that intentional
He's the Michael Jordan of ukuleles
@@nsmy808 That Ukulele is the Nike Air Jordans of ukulele players.
If you like good music on few strings, watch Seasick Steve.
someone give that ukulele a cigarette
Super under rated comment
especially after 2:05 lmaooo
you made me laugh so hard i nearly choked.
💀
This is the best comment I’ve ever read
I wish George Harrison were alive today to hear this wonderful arrangement and performance of his composition I think he would have wanted to "jam" along. Bravo
George Harrison is alive?
@@bejamin9210 no. that was the premise of drag's response.
George loved the ukulele so I'm sure he'd be blown away.
I'm pretty sure he's fine with listening to it from the afterlife.
He would have cried.
Never in my life have I heard a ukulele played like that, you truly excel yourself sir, I'm a uke player too but I can always dream that I could play like you, what a performance, hats off to you sir, 🎩👍👏👏👏
Love it😊
When someone with magic fingers tells his ukulele that it is going to act as classical guitar today, and doesn't take no for a answer.
And at 3:02 I hear angel’s harps while millions of colorful butterflies surround me as I am lying on a peaceful meadow and the green grass tickles my bare feet. ... Simply one beautiful piece of artwork!
there are masters and there are MASTERS and this is A MASTER
My guitar is gently weeping after hearing this played on a Uke 🤣
Who's glad this comes up on your recommendation in 2020 ==> ✌👍👍👍
Yes we all would like to play half as well as Jake
People with the thumbs down probably were expecting to hear a more straightforward tune. This is for musicians, and lovers of great musicianship and true creativity. Wowow
bronxbudget he was great but for the first four minutes it seemed like he was just showing off. I could understand people not liking this as much. This is like some tommy Emmanuel shit which has its place but like sometimes you just wanna hear the song itself. But great performance tho not gonna lie
I think the people who posted the thumbs down didn't watch more than 30 seconds of that video
/r/gatekeeping
@@BassistHK huh? I'm a keymaster, not a gatekeeper.
Music appreciation is rare. Finding something as this is rare.
The finest violinists can make their one instrument sound like 20 all playing together. Seems like this phenomenon is now is now also possible on the ukulele. Bravo sir.
This guy is a freaking legend.
Probably 20 years ago, Jake played at an outdoor summer concert series in Chattanooga. A lot of folks weren't paying attention, until he played the Star Spangles Banner. It got super quiet and one by one everyone stood up to see him and listen. They were his for the rest of the evening.
2:45 always makes my heart go "hngngngnnnhg". that chord progression is absolutely beautiful
That's a heart murmur, hun. Time to see the doc.
ahahahaha, I'd have to be going to the doctor pretty often then
So many different styles in one song. Every song he played reminds me that you can do so much more on a Ukulele.
A STUPID instrument..
@@vinnothelizard a stupid mind ^
@@vinnothelizard Well, my favorite stupid instrument.
Don't limit your mind, beauty is everywhere 🎶
@@vinnothelizard a stupid comment.
Stunning, what a musician first time seeing this guy I am blown away what an amazing player.
Always amazing to see and hear Jake play,...anything he want, anyway he wants!!
This is freaking insane. I mean that in a good way. I just started playing ukulele. And this gives a whole new meaning to “playing the ukulele”!
I need to start playin mine. I was moderately good on guitar could play Stairway to Heaven full score. Can't anymore.
@@TheJohnieB Do it!♡
Clearly any people who think a ukelele is just something for someone to play _with_ are dead wrong.
Remember when he first did it on UA-cam. He’s been practicing.
Looking nerdy as hell doing it too. Lol. It's been some time since that video and he actually looks younger here.
jake is so mesmerizing to watch, love this reindition so much
One of my favorite songs, what did he just do with it? Wow just "Amazing" can't believe he got so many sounds out of a ukulele. Glad I found this.
Sometimes God smiles down on a kid and gives him a rare and beautiful talent to share with others.
And sometimes a kid just ask God the force to keep going year after year practicing and mastering his art wile other just pray for miracle gifted grace of God
maybe it's just practice
you know how to get to carnege hall??
It's definitely God, the creator God, and Him alone, that gives talents and abilities to men and women. The universe is a place. It gives us nothing.
Barry Sargent God isnt real though. So it’s nothing as well.
Hope this gets more views, he really put his own spin on this. Its great.
I loved every second of this ... what a talent.
An artist has to have a vision (hear it in their head) of what they and their instrument are capable of doing together...and then they must practice and work hard to realize that vision. This is a wonderful example of that process...very skillful and engaging...well done! As far as people who give thumbs down, I figure it's none of my business but I do look forward to the day when some musician, song and performance get a thumbs up from every single person in the world...that will be a wondrous thing...
Ukulele means "jumping flea"....that uke morphed into some kinda supersonic flying tick or something. Amazing.
been following this man for a long time... absolute GENIUS!!
Quite simply one of the greatest musical performances ever recorded.
We just saw Jake for the second time last night... Wow! What an incredible show! I'd be hard-pressed to think of a more talented musician. As talented, yes, but more?! It would be tough. His musicianship is great and his shows are fun. Everyone should try to see him live at least once in their lifetime!
Never seen Anything ! , like that !! Just stumbled onto page. Thank-you for sharing
Love the transitions!
If you ever get a chance to see him live, make it happen. One of the best shows I've ever seen. Absolutely amazing. He is the Tommy Emanuel of the ukulele.
With out a doubt.. great show.
3Xs here. Great musician and entertainer.
My musical mind climaxed and was blown at the same time! Holy freaking goosebumps BadMan on the Uke! I thought the strawberry fields version video was too much! This is almost on a different level from that 1! Thank you eternally for this Jake! I can't wait to show my Grandpa this since he was the 1 to introduce me to this man in the first place!
People who disliked this are probably too miserable to appreciate anything at all
People who disliked this are simply not "getting it."
I have a feeling that there are people that “thumbs down” every video on YT.
@@digitaltissue maybe the Thumbs down are generated just to annoying people.
It barely songs like the song. Cool as a performance of music, but the spirit of the song is dead here.
Disagee.......(and disliked). I like him as an artist and have followed him for years but this ‘interpretation’ of the song is more about showing off, than art. It was painful to watch. His other versions of the beautiful song he loves so much, are done better and purer.
The very first song I learned how to play, start to finish completely. Played on my Epiphone EJ160 E way back in 1968. Awesome rendition to an original
WOW! WOW! WOW! Truly a Mega Master of his Craft! Thank you!
It's a soul thing. Sublime, surreal, seriously!
Just off the chart ridiculous. This is the best ukelele performance ever. Fight me.
I bet he's able to make one string sound like an orchestra. I bow to you, sir!
That was one of the most amazing things I've ever seen and absolutely the most amazing thing I've seen played on the ukulele. You are the Tommy Emmanuel of ukulele. Would love to see Jake and Tommy play together.
I'm getting emotional wow this is so beautiful 😭😭💖💖
Your dedication and enthusiasm inspires me! I love this song and will practice it until I can play it! All the best, love from Brasil.
One of my ALL time favorite Beatles songs.... thank you for your unique arrangement.
Oh wow... I knew I had a long way to go with my ukulele playing, but then this guy had to come along and seriously reinforce that point!
Creativity, Passion and Beauty! Kudos!!!
He never fails to inspire
timing, musicality, performance, expression.. tell me there is a better musician in the world..Jake, thank you, I LOVE your stuff, blows my mind every time
Beautiful!
i was curious cause ive never heard ukulele. ive been amazed by this guy for like 2hours now
Ukulele gently weeps at the end... Wonderful
STUNNING!!!!
Wow! Absolute awesome beauty. Brought new emotion to an already perfect song. Bravo, sir, bravo!!
That guy is GOOD
These sound ... like I’m watching a whole movie, great producer, director , the star Jake!
Close your eyes and it's like Tommy Emmanuel picked up a uke. Well done, sir.
I was going to write the exact same thing. Tommy Emanuel CGP now CUP🤣
They did a duet of this song.
He is the best. No one plays like Jake Shimabukuro. Seeing him tomorrow night in Reading, PA.
Clean, Clear sound, the notes: melody, harmonization / orchestration for only a four stinged musical instrument in the hands of a Grand master Uke Virtuoso... Bravo Jake!!!!
His fingertips must be pure callus.
His calluses must be pure fingertip.
His calluses finger tips must have callused finger tiped calluses
Not really because ukelele has nylon strings making them easy to press down without calluses
Not so... I asked Bela Fleck to show me his finger tips at Bonnaroo once - no evidence of calluses at all. Shocked me and I don't know how these masterful string players can play the hours that they do with no compelling evidence.
@@jimhendrickson3507 I've played guitar for 20+ years and have almost no callous. I used to, hard ones, but they've softened up over the years and now it's like...I must still have some kind of callous or something because the strings don't hurt, but the skin is soft. Weird.
Woah! I can sing to his song rendition of WHILE MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS forrrrevvvverrrr!! Amazing!
What an amazing performer/musician!
He is proof that less is actually more. WOW!
I saw him at a High end furniture store, Inspiration Furniture, in Vancouver, B.C. I was working in the building and came down to see him at about 3pm. He was about a 45 minute concert.
rickrayn nice!
Best ukulele instrumental Ive ever seen.
OMG, that's mind blowing! Incredible performance 👍
I really like it! It's good to see the feelings on his face!
Wow, that was incredibl! Keep up the good work.
Melodically one of the best choruses ever
How does he even have fingers after something like that?!? Never get sick of this song...🤩
AMAZING TALENT! with just 4 strings and a very short fret board.
Doctor: Can you show us where he touched you?
Ukulele: (sobs)
..
Or ' the ukulele gently weeps'
@@ankithchhetry3317 best reply of the century
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Jake's a real talent. This is great stuff. I do like his early renditions of this song better, though.
Old video i know but hes just absolutely insane and I love it
Honestly thought he was going to spontaneously combust towards the end
Sooo cleannn. Amazing how can someone play a ukelele like that.
I do it all the time.
This Is Soul Music
Beautiful rendition
Truly special.... how do us mere mortals become close to this ?
In flux, one with the instrument, true artist. I just bought my first uke after watching this video.
Amazing.
The, Tommy Emmanuel of the Ukulele! Absolutely FANTASTIC ! 😉 💜 🍀 🎶
It takes him a long time to warm up…but if you’re patient enough, it’s worth the wait..!!!
I'm doing research on ukulele and found this. Not complaining though as I've just watched a ukulele god playing one of my favorite songs with a twist!
how the hell did he made me feel like i'm listening to the whole band, even felt like i'm listening to someone singing too wtf
wonderful.
Love how he feels what he plays, hes the master !
Thank you!
Blown away. Completely.
I am blown away!!!!!!!! He is off the hook.
AMAZING! SO ENVIOUS.
I came here to know who is Feng E.'s inspiration! Please make a video with him, you're both AWESOME!!! Keep it up!
My thoughts exactly!! You and Feng what a force that would be.
Whoa!!!!!! Dude you can rock that tune box!!!!
Whoop whoop amazing
There are certain pieces of music which when complete I have to sit and just absorb what I just heard because it was so satisfying.
Jethro Tull’s Thick As A Brick CD, Pink Floyd’s Dark Side Of The Moon, Yes’ Close to The Edge...and now THIS!!!
Floored. And I’m a guy who usually places uke players with the same disdain as mimes.
What did I just listen to? Magic!
Probably the best ukulele player ever, would cool to see him play with a Beatles tribute band called Beat-le-le also from Hawaii.
you need to listen Taimane
Thats amazing! i have a ukulele of my one but i only dream of being that good! great job!
Get a new one. That one must be broken ;)
That Was so awesome..
Man that’s AMAZING. I play ukulele at school! And we watched this video!
