Ukulele Rock Song Covers

[RWS]

I have to start with Jake Shimabukuro. Every time I put him on, my uke and I go into the bedroom and cry because we can't be like him... and my guitar turns its head in jealousy.... and my keyboards laugh in spite bc I've been ignoring her (such a woman...) He's soooo friggin good!

He does a LOT of covers!

Bohemian Rhapsody on a 4-string instrument!

My guitar hates this one, and pops a string every time I play it... It's really scary to hear PEAAAANG out of nowhere!

Very impressive. Have you heard any of the music of a man from Hawaii who called himself Bruddah Iz? He died some time back but he left behind some beautiful music. He had an incredible tenor singing voice in addition to his fine ukulele playing. His version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" is the best version I've heard of the song.

How can he strum that fast?!? The camera just records a blur!

He must come very fast when he jerks off!

That's crazy!!!

I was so sad when I found out he passed away. I'm a new uke player. Only been playing a few years, but he was the first influence on me!

I have a Best Of CD by him and it's very good. It's a shame he died at such a young age, but I believe he DID weigh over 400 pounds. That was probably just too much of a strain on his heart.

IZ was so huge, and he was playing this little tiny thing, that I thought my daughters could do it to.

I already play the guitar, so I wanted to tune the ukes to get them ready for Christmas. And you have to constantly retune and retune at first, for days. And I fell in love with the instrument. And bought one for myself! Now my guitar and keyboards don't get touched, and they're jealous.

 

[RWS]

Not that my daughters are huge! LOL!

I thought it was a simple 4 string instrument, that is so easy to play the classic chords!

But I fell in love with the complexity.

Don't laugh, but this is me trying to sing along with my uke. My uke is better than my singing btw...

Thank you so much for this thread. My Daddy played the uke, and he taught me.
