So James and his buddies was in his basement getting high and he finds an old ukulele and says watch this

Randomly navigating KZread sure does turn up some real gems sometimes. This one was incredible. Can you do some metal with that thing?

Awesome adaptation. I love it when clever people discover new ways of making new sounds with old instruments. We grow.

Amazing and unbelievably talented young man!! Also tremendous concentration!!!

When you think it electro but it actually *PLAD DAD CHAD AND HIS UKULELE THAT IS EXTRA RAD*

This is great! This guy is both extremely creative and talented. P.S. He starts playing at 3:50 , for all you impatient folks

This is totally superb James Hill is a legend

extraordinary!!!

Everybody needs a 303, except for this guy.

I never would have thought of using a ukulele like this lol

amazing talent...incredible hardwork !!!!!!!

that was one of the coolest things I've ever seen. So talented, and pretty funny!

Now I wanna hear this guy play Axl F theme from Beverly Hills Cop. lol That would just be fun to hear played on this.

Amazing, all those years and he didn't think to run the comb through his hair

This made my day

i love this

I've made some of those sounds after eating Mexican food 😋

*James' Mom:* Learn to play an instrument like your Grandpa. *James:* Okay.
