Now that's just plain unmutual. Whose side are you on? No matter--No. 2 wishes to see you post haste. The green dome. |

| whomhow (changeable) | Posted: Apr 19, 2013 - 02:24 I dig this version more and more, it grows from 4 to 6 and that's not the finish. |
| justin4kick (The Netherlands) | Posted: Apr 17, 2013 - 14:00 His guitar doesn't weep at all. George Harrisson would if he heard what has become of his song. |
| mostling | Posted: Apr 17, 2013 - 13:57 that sure is a weeping guitar |
| jkhandy | Posted: Apr 05, 2013 - 20:31 Extraordinarily nice! |
| turks13 | Posted: Mar 29, 2013 - 14:43 extraordinarily ordinary! |

| bentonian (Boulder, CO) | Posted: Mar 18, 2013 - 15:14 Hit PSD so fast I didn't have time to rate it. Had to come back while Van Morrison was playing to give it the richly deserved 1! |
| pcicatar (Portland, OR) | Posted: Mar 05, 2013 - 08:51 I appreciate the cover, but I don't know of a song that really, really needs a sweet breakdown in the middle of it.  7 —> 5 |
| q4Fry (Currently stateside) | Posted: Feb 26, 2013 - 03:57 It was going to be a 6, then a 7, settling at 8. One of my few. |
| Disti | Posted: Feb 02, 2013 - 01:02 what´s this supposed to be? Very painful........... |

Ninty (90!!!!!) 10-votes for this "crime-of-a-song" confirm that RP-music is made for the wrong crowd! No wonder that Floyd, Queen and other retirement-boppers are so popular here. Let me see if I got this right-you spend time listening to a radio station you admittedly don't like, and you take time to write criticisms. Sounds like a fun way to spend the day.  |
| cShaggy (..inna state of being..) | Posted: Dec 13, 2012 - 01:20 ..with the ranging detours, one wonders why he even needed to cover anything..good playin, but just sayin'.. |
| orquidea (BaquerÃa) | Posted: Dec 13, 2012 - 01:17 It´s just like listening this song played in "Cuatro" one of the three national instruments from Venezuela, my contry. the others are maraca and arp "Arpa, cuatro y maracas".... |
| xenarocks (Tempe, Arizona) | Posted: Nov 16, 2012 - 09:49 Just saw Jake Shimabukuro at the Music Instrument Museum last night 11/15/2012. If you EVER have an opportunity to see him THEN DO IT!!! It was a breathtaking performance. He is an absolute Master on the instrument. |

| TJS (Bradley, Il) | Posted: Oct 11, 2012 - 07:41 I like it. |
| BalesBub (Boston) | Posted: Oct 11, 2012 - 07:41 Painfully irritating. |
| bachbeet | Posted: Sep 12, 2012 - 23:38 Pales in comparison to the original. |
| Sloggydog (UK) | Posted: Sep 12, 2012 - 23:37 Would rather hear the original but still a cool treatment of a classic |

| midigitguy (Massachusetts) | Posted: Aug 21, 2012 - 19:29 JUst because you can doesn't mean it is a good idea,, uughh. Yeah the guitar weeps to hear this covered on a uke. Sucks... |
| Fredrikson (Stockholm) | Posted: Aug 17, 2012 - 04:52 After the ten thousandth time hearing this, I feel the urge to change my 7 to a 4. |
| jbunniii (San Jose, CA) | Posted: Aug 12, 2012 - 12:22 Better than it could have been, but I still don't endorse it. Minus a point for the gratuitous handclapping midway through. |

See if this works… Rodrigo Y Gabriela; it's one of my favs. (Watch to at least the middle, if you think it's tedious at first; also, this isn't the best video of them doing this, but it's the best I could find amidst all the wannabees that dilute YouTube content now.) |
| Catecaneverall (Germany, Leipzig) | Posted: Jul 12, 2012 - 01:52 heartbreakingly beautiful! |
| midreaming | Posted: Jul 10, 2012 - 08:28 Ooooo… nneat!! ‘got any bedroom recordings of stairway to heaven or freebird laying around? My total favorites are covers of Barry Manilow’s Copa Cobana. MMmmyea.. B.M is a dreamboat … I guess Robert Plant kinda gets my panties in a bunch too |
| leonswiatek (The Greater Northeast) | Posted: Jul 10, 2012 - 08:23 needs to be 4 mins. shorter |
| kingart (Brooklyn NY) | Posted: Jul 10, 2012 - 08:22 You might not like this cover version — but Harrison probably would. He loved the ukelele. The Concert for George Clapton cover is good too. |
| jen3005545 (Fort Worth, TX) | Posted: Jul 10, 2012 - 08:21 Very nice.  |
| ScottFromWyoming (Powell) | Posted: Jul 10, 2012 - 08:20 I do believe I heard this 2 days ago. It's nice; would be nicer if it dropped to once a month. |

| megaboogieman (Russia, Gulag Archipelago) | Posted: Apr 17, 2012 - 08:58 Jake Shimabukuro guitar weeps too lamentably. Touches my heart. |

| Byronape ("post-capitalist wreckageville") | Posted: Apr 04, 2012 - 16:21 I can appreciate it for it's artistic merit, his technical mastery of the instrument, and the love he has for it's sound... Well, let's just say that while I can appreciate the artistic talents of Oliver Rhys, that does not mean that I want one of his prints hanging in my living room. |

| lemmoth (NYC) | Posted: Mar 16, 2012 - 17:15 This is freakin' awesome - I need to by this. From AMG: Every so often a musician comes along who completely reimagines the possibilities of a given instrument: Jimi Hendrix on the electric guitar, Bill Monroe on the mandolin, Miles Davis on the trumpet. Jake Shimabukuro has given the ukulele a new respect altogether: unlike the instruments previously mentioned, the uke has always been considered something of a toy, used by vaudeville-type performers to punctuate comic routines. Not anymore, though. What this fourth-generation Japanese-American musician from Hawaii has done is legitimize his chosen instrument, and several albums into his career, he continues to push it forward. Gently Weeps takes its name from the opening track, a cover of George Harrison's "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" that emphasizes the song's fluid melody and tender lyricism. |
