'"While My Guitar Gently Weeps" On The UkuleleI've been told (as I don't play guitar) that George Harrison's "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" is a pain in the butt to play on guitar. So you can only imagine the talent it takes to play it flawlessly on a ukulele. Posted by Jake on 03/29/06 @ 06:17 PM

Of course, I can't play guitar, so i don't actually know if he's fingering it correctly, or if it's an incredible dub job. Anyone know? Aaron Wormus said on 03/31/06 @ 11:57 AM: That's Jake Shimabukuro, (http://www.jakeshimabukuro.net/) he's like the Yo Yo Ma of Ukes, so it's a safe bet that he's really doing it ;) Mark Turner said on 03/31/06 @ 12:47 PM: Yeah I saw jake at the rosland theater in portland a few years ago... it was amazing. Imagine .... only four strings. macclan3 said on 05/26/06 @ 12:03 AM: My first week in Hawaii I was at a local carnival. I was walking across a field looking for...cotton candy. Anyway, as I was walking I heard what sounded like an insane, yet melodic machine gun coming from the stage. I looked over to see Jake going crazy. I stood mesmerized for 15 minutes....and, I've recorded in studio sessions in rock bands. He's the REAL DEAL. Very special talent. Post a comment |
