You won't believe your eyes or your ears, your jaw will drop...James Hill's brilliant cover of Billie Jean is amazing - as he plays the percussion, the chords and the melody, making his ukulele sound like 3 different instruments, all played at once!
You'll gasp in astonishment, you'll love every second of it :D

    Why isn't this amazing? He's playing the bass line, the riff, lead, and the drumbeat at the same time!

    I think the microphone recording this is too close to the speakers, and, yes, the recording audio "gain" is up too high. Better audio could be recorded by tapping into his mic, his Uke pickup, but that would require more wires, a mixer, and cooperation with the people that own the PA equipment.
