We love the web.
We all love finding bizarre and hilarious videos on the web, but it’s also great that every once in a while a video comes around that’s not only curious, but also tremendously brilliant. Enter “While My Ukulele Gently Weeps”. It’s simply a dude playing George Harrison’s “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” on his diminutive instrument. Give the video a chance to play out though: once he gets going it’ll blow your mind.
See the video after the jump!

That’s fucking brilliant.
Isn’t it though? I can’t believe some of the rhythms he manages there at the end!
I think that’s Jake Shimabukuro. I heard a piece about him on NPR a few months back.
Samples of other stuff can be found at his website, http://www.jakeshimabukuro.com/english/top.html.
Wow. I don’t think I’ll be purchasing “Ukulele Hero” anytime soon.
