Tuesdays Tune – Jake Shimabukuro does Bohemian Rhapsody

I’m not sure there’s a better ukulele player than Jake Shimabukuro. The guys is so solid on the uke.

I remember first seeing him do a cover of George Harrison’s “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” sometime in 2006 and it literally brought me to tears. I had never heard anyone play the ukulele in such a manner. It had a lasting impression on me that would never dwindle.

One of the things I love about Jake is he’s really tuned into the surfing culture, which makes a lot of sense considering he’s from Hawaii.

I had the pleasure of meeting him at a fundraiser for the California Surf Museum a few years ago and he was such a stand up guy. He loves to bring smiles to people’s faces, and boy oh boy does he love to strum that ukulele.

Watch the video below as he does a cover of Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody…
