I heard James Hill was walking home from school with $1 when he was young when he ran into the devil. The devil asked him what his greatest desire was. James said he wanted to be the greatest guitar player in the world. The devil said that would be no problem, but it would cost James his soul. James did not want to give up his soul, so he asked what he could get for his dollar. The devil offered to make him the greatest ukulele player in the world, and they had a deal.

So this is very clever. In this song with these chords and base and drum pattern, the parts overlap So he’s not playing every note of the baseline - he plays a few, then plays a chord from the piano part and then switches back to the baseline while simultaneously playing the beat with his fingers in between strokes Also he’s singing Also also he’s playing the crowd just as well the ukulele It’s genius, and he plays so nonchalantly it looks fake but isn’t Just incredibly well choreographed with insane skill and hundreds of hours of practice

@@Alexnaill hi Alex my day is going pretty good thank you I hope yours is too

This is awesome and he's super funny lol

How did you do what the hell my brain doesn't... I know slap bass, the idea, but-- how did. WOW.

that last chord, when he flicks to make the snare sound and strums the chord at the same time. that was crazy

it's been a while since I've genuinely found anything funny, but man, was this one of the best's things I've ever seen.

How cool is that. I can't handle my loop station properly - James doesn't even need one!

Now this is talent and showmanship!

Am I dreaming right now?? This dude did the drums and all that with a little guitar!! With a small ass guitar Whatttt, this is unbelievable

WOW ... Thank you

Almost 9 years later, there's a tutorial. I can't thank you enough.

I believe!

Lesser musicians use loopmachines to do what he does. That alone already shows the amazing talent he has. Besides singing and entertaining the crowd, as well. Simply amazing.

No clue how I got here but I'm glad I did!!..very impressive!

I'm pretty sure I first saw this clip at the dawn of KZread. Glad I happened upon it again.

I don't know how I stumbled onto this. But i'm glad I did!

This really inspired a lot me to make my Ukulele sound more like a band, cause this tiny little instrument has some secret powers!

Hands down...the best ukulele player that ever lived

No idea how I found this but glad I did.

I think we all knew where this was going but honestly that just makes it more impressive

Well done. I’m a metal head at heart, however I enjoy hearing ALL types of talented musicians.

Same here.. Have you checked out The Offspring's acoustic version of Self Esteem, with Noodles playing a ukelele?

Magicians do funny things with their hands that you don't expect to be possible and that you can't clearly see or understand. In this perspective, this is magic 🎩

Wow! What a performance!

The fact he isn't using any loops but moves his legs and body to make you think he is, is fucking brilliant. This is amazing. Bravo.

Where the fucc do you see legs moving on a video from the waist up?

I mean, considering he is shifting his weight, and hips, you can fill in what his legs are doing. I think the more important question is, how the "fucc" can you not?

Dual neck guitar: I can do insane solos James Hill: Hold my beer

The most amazing thing is that there is a distinct strumming sound when his right hand isn't strumming. Those imaginary musicians really pull their weight.

Wow... 🔥🔥🔥👍
