I just attempted to play Bohemian Rhapsody on my uke, failed miserably, and then took to TH-cam to find a successful version of what I so wrongfully butchered. I’m not disappointed in the slightest, this is immaculate. 💫
If anyone could play ANY string related instrument like you, the world would be a happier place. Brilliant performance. I wish I could play like 25% of your capabilities
you all probably dont give a shit but does anybody know of a way to get back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid lost the password. I appreciate any help you can offer me.
Excellent rendition of a great song. I especially like how the lyrical melody is interwoven into the original music rhythm. Definitely impressive to say the least.
This makes me wanna learn this song even more but I'm really bad at uke. I can only play 2 songs lol Edit: 1 month ago I could only play 2 songs. Now I can play 7.
Never took the ukulele as a serious instrument until I got one as a gift several years ago. Now my guitars get played far less often. Jake is right, ukes are humble and joyous!
this guy has totally captured the feeling of this song in his playing, you can tell he is doing the vocals in his head because the dynamics are just as in the original. Really great work. Id love to hear love of my life on this! and 39` cheers!!!
Eleven years have passed since I first ran across your 2005 "While My Guitar Gently Weeps". This is every bit as brilliant! You are absolutely incredible, Jake! Thanks for making the world better. :)
When you know everyone in the audience is remembering the original song in their heads and comparing to this version, and singing along in their minds.
Superb. Even Brian May commented on his website: **Wed 02 Mar 11** BO RHAP ON UKE Amazing Uke playing ... to be relished !! This really is exquisite ! What a guy ! Cheers Bri
Oh my god! This video was so peaceful! I loved the way he played it~~ But I DO have a question about the song. Why is it called "Bohemian Rhapsody'? I mean, they never say Bohemian Rhapsody in the song??? O.o LOL
Well if you look up the definitions of the word Bohemian and Rhapsody. It pretty much describes the song. Bohemian (not Czech) - (a person, as an artist or writer, who lives and acts free of regard for conventional rules and practices. and Rhapsody (generally means a song, poem literature) but this definition in particular fits well - Music. an instrumental composition irregular in form and suggestive of improvisation. Wala
@@getsomebud that's right. Beethoven doesn't even mention the words "Symphony No. 9" in his own "Symphony No. 9" composition. You know why? Because it's his 9TH symphony. Same with Bohemian Rhapsody. It means the whole song is just simply a great poem made by Freddie.

Michel Collignon I’ll take 5%
It would take me a long time to learn how to play just one string for the whole song.
I can feel his love with his ukulele. That's why the performance is so amazing.
I am overwhelmed and inspired to take up the ukulele while undergoing my cancer treatment to keeep mme positive. Thanks Jake.
get well soon!
Hope you are ok now.

I seriously get the chills whenever I watch this.
Absolutely BRILLIANT playing!
Honestly my favorite song
Extraordinary what this guy can do on just four strings.
Simply fantastic, Jake! Your fingers move like magic and create such music. You play with such feeling! My best wishes to you, for the future.
14 people don't realize he's only using four strings.
Just found out about Jake through the London Acoustic Guitar Show. Listen and be amazed!!! Never thought the Uke could sound SO good!
Never took the ukulele as a serious instrument until I got one as a gift several years ago. Now my guitars get played far less often. Jake is right, ukes are humble and joyous!
Brian May approves, and that is the biggest praise you can get!
