@imajurell It is hard to compare their playing. Jake always plays in re-entrant tuning, compared to James who often plays with a low G. Their styles are very different, Jake's being more traditional, and James' being more of a classical approach. Comparing them is like comparing a finger-picking to flat-picking. Both styles are difficult to master, but in different ways.
@schnisha95 I can see where you're coming from but im unsure. They're both amazing, i think it would take someone who knew more about ukulele to really make that judgement. Jake is freaking intense though, and it certainly looks, at least to my eyes, like he plays more technically demanding pieces. Love em both.
@jason96732 Can Jake play this piece better if not good? If so, where can I hear it? I have both their recordings and asked many people for their opinions. All of them said James' technique is more complex-ed and better skilled. Jakes's music is entertaining but many people can duplicated his stuffs than James. RUclips have more people imitating copying Jake's since it's doable. As a beginning uke player, I have more difficulty emulating James' music than Jake's
@hobiegal If he played it on guitar then perhaps, but any videos of jung playing mario were on ukulele, and nowhere near as clean and flawless as james hill. Sungha jung is exceptional, and will be one of the greatest guitarists of our time, but he can't compete with james hill on ukulele. Almost no one can.

He can do that because he has one of those special 8-bit ukuleles.
This comment here got me bruh !👌
He can do that because he's James hill!

First time Ive seen him clean shaven and short hair. Its like baby James Hill!
If Nintendo ever make a sequel to Super Mario Sunshine, they need to get this guy.
It seriously sounds nicer than the original super mario bros theme

12 people died from that Shy Guy at the very beginning
TheCubism That's called a Goomba.
MegaXLR
I mean, to be fair, if anyone died at the beginning they probably can't tell you the name of the thing that killed them.
Aristo Brizzolara I did once while paying literally no attention and it haunts me to this day
New live goal!
me to!!
@alohaukehawaii808 Just got back from a concert of his! He is absolutely fantastic!
I think if I keep playing ukulele for the rest of my life, I'll never be as good as JH
cool
That is so cool, i would love to see a tutorial of this.
Even here he's trying to add in a drum track at times by stamping. Good on him for eventually figuring out how to do it.
@lgarvey1979 It's a custom GString tenor.
@MetalFeedback tabs are on: dominator (dot) ukeland (dot) com
great bowser and 8 of those koopa troopers are on youtube again
@thetruegraham

Love em both.

do you have tabs man? this is GREAT!
Tempted to buy a ukulele now so I will.
@jaydybayby
One of those people was Elliot Cancel.
@Kailiohu626 i agree lol
Great work. too bad for the 2 dislikes... looks like 2 people couldn't make it past level one.
Gimme tabs, gimme tabs, gimme tabs!!
@culanap no i meant it sounded way 2 cool to be level 1
I would have loved it even more if at the end he played the game over theme
whoever dislikes this obviously got the Sega 16 for Christmas instead of the Nintendo
i dont play ukulele however that has to be extremely difficult
James: I am a novice ukulele player with no one near me to coach. Any tips on how I can get better? Scales? Jazz chords? Your advice is appreciated.
LEG.
i this guy actually did the theme 0.o
Seems like Bowser's 6 kids dislked the video.
Mario in Hawaii!
CLARK KENT
He does it like its nothing
I like james hill better with more hair but this is brilliant!
He looks so different without a beard!
on 2 level he died just in the begging and returned to check point lvl 1 ;ddd
Its him from ages ago its baby james!
@saywhatyowhat He came to my school last week and singed my ukulele
Which ukulele brand is the best? In need of a new one
Carlos Palomin Palomin The best brand is the one that a) you like the sound and b) you're willing to play all the time.
I swear i had my pants on 2 min ago!
I'd like to know what kind of ukulele that is. It sounds really good. But I'm sure it's just him that makes it sound amazing.
xIvyDrawsx its custom made I'm 99% sure
custom build by Derek Shimizu, owner of G String Ukulele Co
Also the sound from the mic is heavily distorted
I Refuse to believe "Justin bieber" gets more views and fan-base than this piece of GOLD !!!!
how did u learn this song
どうしてもマリオ弾きたいんだけど、もうすこしだけ簡単にアレンジされたものないかなぁ すごいなぁ
his hair grew alot
I have a hard enough time with six strings thank you... 😢😂😢
This version of the song should be theme to Super Mario Sunshine
he doesn't look like this anymore!
練習あるのみ！
LAWLapalooza

I personally know James. He sure can.
