Motivational Monday: Ukulele Weeps

by

This is installment #2 of “motivational monday.”

Every Monday, I’d like to post a video or some musings that would hopefully inspire all of us to become better ukulele players. I’m still trying to figure out a rhythm for the blog and what information and lessons people are most looking for about ukulele, so I welcome your feedback.

If you’ve been around in the world of ukulele and YouTube for awhile, it’s possible you’ve seen this ukulele video. It’s quite possibly the most popular ukulele video on YouTube with almost 6 million views.

Check out this performance of “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” on ukulele by Jake Shimabukuro. I think the video will be all that needs to be said. Enjoy.
