Jake Shimabukuro video of “While My Guitar Gently Weeps”

Jake ShimabukuroThis video of ukulele player extraordinaire Jake Shimabukuro performing The Beatles' "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" has been floating around the net for awhile, but suddenly seems to have been pushed into the spotlight again—yesterday a friend who's not into tiki culture IM'd it to me out of the blue.

Jake is an amazing player and his version does more than justice to the George Harrison/Eric Clapton rock masterpiece.

Buy track at iTunes Music Store for 99¢ | Thanks John!

Update: Jake has released a CD with a studio version of the song. Get all the details here.
