I don't know if you guys have ever heard of this god of ukulele playing, Jake Shimabukuro, but he covered George Harrison's 'When My Guitar Gently Weeps', and although it sounds like it wouldn't work, it's music as an art, not just sound.

I'll just leave this here.

[font=Verdana]That's pretty cool. I like the way the notes of the "I don't know why nobody told you" and "I don't know how you were diverted" lines sound, especially.[/font]

Excellent. I've just picked up my Ukelele again after years of not touching it, so I've been looking at Youtube uke videos on and off today. Such a fun instrument.

Beautiful! When it comes to ukuleles, I gotta pay respect to IZ. His music is more traditional, but still amazing in its own sense.
