- In honor of the 74th anniversary of the first Hollywood screening of "The Wizard of Oz," Jake plays his rendition of "Over The Rainbow," which he recorded on his latest album, "Grand Ukulele." He also talks about how the recording on "Grand Ukulele" came to be.
🌴🌴 It's very rare that you see someone who actually becomes as one with an instrument ,he puts his heart and soul and feels every movement of the strings, he truly is an inspiration to all of us that play Ukulele ,many thanks to mom and pop Shimabukuro for creating their rendition to somewhere over the rainbow ! 🌴🌴. 🌺.
The fluidity of this man's hands is just breath taking
I love how your music is combined with the sound of wind and trees. It's so extraordinary that my mind can totally relax when hearing this peace of gorgeous melody. Keep your work shining!

First off, amazing. Brilliant. As a kid who grew up in the 70s and 80s, I never thought I’d hear the names Alan Parsons and Kip Winger in the same video...ever...😀😀😀
same!!!!! 😂 going to see Jake this summer 2023!
Jake is easily one of the most talented song writers/interpreters ive ever seen. He just made Over the Rainbow into a completely beutiful new version, while still holding true to the reasson it was made. MUCH LOVE TO UKELELE PLAYERS
That was just beautiful. I love how you play it so naturally, and with so much emotion. Such a sweet melody from a timeless movie...
Jake! Loved listening to your "over the rainbow" that song brings tears to my eyes. Don't know why! Your very talented..thank you for sharing
Every time I see Jake, in person or on youtube, I'm blown away anew by his calm matter-of-factness, and the love he has for the craft of his music. Truly one of the biggest music geeks I've ever seen. Aloha!
Ahhhh Master Jake, that gave me goosebumps. Thank you for sharing such beautiful talent for the world to see. Aloha to you.
Oh my God it's my favorite song oh my heart ❤ 💙 💜 💖 💗 💘 love it
I got to see Jake live back in 2001 at a fundraiser for victims of 9/11 at the Waikiki Shell!! He was amazing then as a kid and his skill and talent have only been honed to perfection. I love listening to him play. Can't wait until he comes to South Carolina in February 2014!!
I’ve seen this young man play in person and he is fabulous.
Beautiful. You are the best. Thank you.
he visited my school multiple times and he's just amazing kalihi kai always welcomes him he's an amazing ukulele player and the ukulele club always welcomes him and looks up to him he's just extraordinary it's sad though that i believe there is no ukulele club in kalihi kai anymore but i hope it forms again we miss ms. komatsu
Jake Simabukuro is my hero...I am constantly inspired whenever I hear him play. :)
Beautifully played, Jake! Thanks oh so much for doing such a pure rendition of this great song.
Jake Shimabukuro may be the greatest Uke virtuoso of all time. Such a tremendous talent and spirit. I do wish he would have mentioned Iz Kamakawio'ole here as he's the one who popularized this song for Uke.
Meymeygwis he played with him many times
Check out Feng E
Iz popularized HIS OWN version of the song, on a uke, not the original beautiful tune. He just rendered the already beautiful tune with his own twist. It was almost as good as the original.
@@quentinkaalekahi2216 I respect your opinion, as I do all others. It's just that if it weren't for the original tune, he'd have nothing to buiild upon.
Kat Like Vibes Opinions can’t be “wrong”, they can be agreed with or disagreed with.
it really is hard not to fall in love with a musician, no?
+El Dudeo Hi???
El Dudeo hahaha! Hilarious. So you are a musician? Hmmm lemme guess basement type? Or subway type? Or street type?
basement subway or street who gives a shit !? I've more talented musicians in the subway that on scene nowadays.
Hi. I really love Gintama
Bonny Stark
This brought me to tears. It took me in and out of my whole childhood and back. The birds in the background actually made it even more powerful.
Abosutley beautiful, Jake. You really got the true essence of the song!
Handsome man, beautiful arrangement, lovely, sweet song. What more could you want? Thank you, Jake.
I was walking down 6th Street in Austin during sxsw years ago. I heard some fantastic blues and went in. There was Jake playing a used painted l8ke a pineapple. Kill8ng some SRV. Playing behind his back and behind his head. Absolutely jaw dropping good! Stevie would have loved it!
Jake is the best. You can learn so much from his lessons
I'm at his concert right now amazing guy !
Jake : Iz would be proud of you bro......hoping to see you soon in Colorado.....need to buy those tickets before they are gone. Just watched your PBS special Life on 4 Strings. Thanks for sharing. Aloha, Theo
This is wonderful. I'd been wanting to learn to play the song myself, but almost every single tutorial or other rendition on youtube imitates the Izzy version, which, lovely as it is, actually bears very little resemblance to the original. And while this is rather above my skill level, it's still a huge pleasure to hear. Thank's Jake! You are without question the best.
I love your interpretation. This is so wonderful. Thank you
Just beautiful. Thank you..
New Fan here i love what you do your music is so inspirational to me.You are The Reason i have Regained my Passion For Music again! and the reason i have choose to pick up piano and instruments again.Thank you Jake.
Highest skills of ukulele, lovely composing of Over the rainbow.You are the ukulele devil🤣🤣🤣🤣😜😜😜🙈🙈Love it very much.Thanks for sharing.This is one of my favourite song.Have great weekend Jake👌
I heard Jake play live in Scottsdale and his versatility and variety of musical genre was truly amazing. Inspiring for a new ukulele player!
Judy Garland would certainly hear her own voice in that beautiful rendition: historically, very respectful and lovely to hear. Thank you for recording and posting this, Jake. I can hardly wait to hear you play live.
I was at Floydfest festival in Virginia about 12 years ago when I saw him perform this tune. He was on the main stage, we were all on the grass on the top of a mountain and the sun was setting when he performed this. Everyone there was mesmerized as his fluid use tones melded with the purple sky and orange clouds. I will never forget it.
Awesome! It was amazing watching your fingers. I just bought my Ukulele yesterday and love it - trying to learn ... long way to go. Thanks for the beautiful song.
I am new to Ukulele and heard your name. I set out to find you and listen to your music. You surpassed my expectations. You all all that and then some. 😃
Jake is a very down to earth nice guy, also signed my uke, it was a privilege to meet him and see him play
I love the sound of the Ocean breeze in the background. That is so awesome. Somewhere 'IZ' is smiling.
We just saw him at the McCullam Theater in Palm Desert. My youngest daughter of 6 could not get enough, she is non stop talking about how amazing he is, and I really must agree. In fact her main Christmas gift this year is now going to be a ukulele. So thankful for the oppertunity to see him play...loved the first song he wrote at age six too.
You’re sooo good, Mr Jake! So inspiring for a beginner like me!
Wow! Tears falling because this is so beautifully played by Jake! I saw this artist in Chattanooga at Nightfall! Just amazing stuff!
One word only? FANTASTIC!
I first saw Jake play when he was very young in Hawaii at the Navy Exchange!
Oh God it's always a pleasure to hear you!
노래도 함께 해 주셨으면 그 고운 음성과 아름다은 멜로디에 흠뻑 더 빠질 수 있을것 같은데요 ^^;;; 멋지십니다~~저도 우크렐레 연습중이거든요. 이제 2개월차에요. 제이크님이 제게 큰 감동을 주셔서 저도 열심히 연습해 볼께요 ^^
Lovely song Jake and thanks for your comments on Dixon's Uke Play of Official Paragone
Gorgeous! Excited that I'll be hearing you live in Maryville next month. :~)
What a beautiful and sensitive rendition of this song.
That was so beautiful and inspiring. I've read the original book and it's as inspiring.
Wow. Just beautiful. If I could play just one song on any instrument that beautifully, I would die a happy man.
Thank you Jake!
I literally clapped behind my screen man, his playing style is just absolutely majestic and unique! I love it so much!! :)
How to replace parts on a ukulele
Amazing. Beautiful. Talented. Perfect!
You are fabulous, how very beautiful that was!
Jake is a great talent. I like his positive attitude and style. It always makes me happy to see his performances.
That was just so beautiful, memories and a few tears :( but it was Wonderful,
This is one of the most beautiful versions I've heard of this song.
Aya0014 There's a kick-ass theremin version that I think I like better. The haunting electronic wail fits it so perfectly, better than a strumming instrument I think.
Absolutely stunning.
Was lucky to Listen to the JPR interview!! Rocked it!
How could 100 people dislike this beautiful song?
genuine love and devotion. and talent.
I found this guy today on here, wow, beautiful.
That is just great and what an inspiration to practice my ukulele's even more. Thanks Jake!!
Very nice performance. Lovely as a matter of fact!
I saw a rainbow at the background. It's beautiful. Awesome.
ta musicalité mon amis , est une vrais source d'énergie et de bien être , merci pour tout ce que tu nous partages :)
Beautiful piece done beautifully. Yip Harburg would approve.
My wife and I got into a fight today. I said, let me search for Jake to rescue me and here I land. Now Im happy and smiling. Emotions.
4 years later and I hope y'all are still together and filled with joy!
Peace,
BarefootBill

Thank you! That was something else!
Whew!! I just finished transcribing this beautiful gem in it's entirety. Ukulele tab.
What a talented young man. Seems like you were born with a uke in your hand.. Thanks
One can really tell that he's been at it since he was 4. So very nice!! Definitely at the top of his game.
Very nice. Best version I've heard in a long time.
This song was made for the ukulele. The melancholy of the arrangement is magnified by the limitations of the ukulele. Less is more. Thank you, Jake! Tip of the hat to Bruddah IZ as well!
Incredibly done. Bravo. I will say something, which I mean with the utmost respect and that is that song was first made famous on the uk by brother IZ, whether we admit it or not. If you are a fan of the ukulele, the first time you ever heard this song, it was from him. So ya, composed by Harold Arlen and lyrics by E.Y. Harburg, but I would also tip my hat to the man who inspired us all to play this on the Uk. In my humble opinion.
Fernando Morales I agree
The original songs time signature is 3/4. There words of each line is like a nursery rhymes and . IZ change the time signature and the wordings of the original. My two cents
I very much agree. Even though he melded Over the Rainbow and Wonderful World, IZ did it so well that no one cared. That is still my favorite rendition.
@@angelofmusic477 It's in 4/4.
@@russellhayes9053 Agree this arrangement is in 4/4 , the original one sung by Judy Garland are in 3/4. The lyrics of the original one are in a form of nursery rhymes. Maybe its due to copy right, Israel K has to change the lyrics and the time signature to 4/4.
he can really make that ukulele sing... his covers give me peace
I met him and got my uke signed
+Ava Cafasso dude lucky
+Ava Cafasso sooo lucky
Pretty awesome
I met uke and got my Jake signed
+georgyorgy2 I got and uke my signed Jake
Very talented musician. Here's one for you Jake - 'Child of Snow' ( Ryuichi Sakamoto). Love to hear your rendition of this.
I LOVE your music!
Thank you kind sir! I felt like I was in Hawai'i as you played that. :D
This is so peaceful. I love it.
You're my cousin hayashi San miss you much brother miss you... Lots 1986 gives meaning
awesome Jake. Thanks for the uke music.
My favorite Uke, performance of Over the Rainbow!
so gentle and calming
So Beautiful! I am so In Love with it!
My dad showed me some videos of you ^^ Freaking love what you do!!
Love it, beatyful interpertation. Judy would be proud...
That was perfect. Thank you, Jake!
This guy is amazing. God bless you
so lovely
great! beautiful!!
This video inspired me to buy an ukelele, hopefully I can play half as good as he does one day. What an incredible artist.
SephVenture what's your point kid?
Just beautiful - thanks Jake :-)
So beautiful~~ Love it!!
Great song + amazing player = another quality performance! :)
Man, I love the way you make a uke sing!
Going to see him tomorrow and hope to get my uke signed as well
If there's anyone who doesn't tear up listening to this brilliant performance, then that person just doesn't like music all that much.
Such a beautiful instrument so proud to know how to play it hopefully one day I'll be skilled like jake 😂😂😁
Jake: Fire dragon born in 1976 we miss you here in Lancaster PA! Hope you can return someday!
