I could watch this for hours..

I was there! What an awesome day. James Hill is the best.

James Hill, one of the greatest. I was just at a camp with him in Northern California. He was my teacher. The camp was at a place called Asilamor, My spelling is off. This guy is good. He has a CD and book out.

i don't understand how you can dislike this. I mean, you might not be into ukulele and folk music, but seriously, this just inspires happyness!

I arrived late last year to the Ukulele Festival but I'm going to make sure I get there early this year because it was the greatest!

WHOA he just made that sound like a whole freaking band! ONE UKULELE DID THAT! Brilliant!

Beautiful and moving, from my far away Europe looking back at home over the atlantic.

Excellent !! I've been Molly Dancing on Plough Monday for the last 25+ years to those tunes :0)

めっちゃカッコいい！！！

Be still my heart! New practice tune for me and my bones ^.^

P.S. love the long-sleeve, plaid, cowboy shirt in the Honolulu heat and humidity.

they've played together on stage before in Hawaii, it was amazing :)

You Rock man!!!

@MrLongboardification It is G-String. The owner and main luthier of the company made his 2 custom ukuleles for him after he released his first album. There have been reproductions by G-String for this particular model, marketed as the James Hill signature model. They were discontinued when James stopped exclusively using G-String. There are still quite a few floating around, but they'll cost you a pretty penny. When they were still in production, they went for about $3000.

Fascinating! Love this! :)

Now that IS impressive!

I love it!

Awesome! Love it - pure inspo!

it's beautiful

This really is amazing, keep up the good work buddy, you're doing a good job here!!

@politirin I've taken workshops in Canada with James and his mentors. They used ADF#B (not A at the end) open cord tuning. I used a capo to match their tuning. I could've used GCEA but Chalmers Doane insisted me to use the open D cord. Listen to the tuning of his ukulele carefully as James explains the music. It's a higher tone than the open C cord.

LOVE this one !!!!! AWESOME ..... :D

this is so sick!

So amazing!

One soul for sale over here!

LEGEND@@@@@@@@@@@@

I was so into that, I almost applauded. And I'm just sitting alone in my living room.

sigue siendo increíble

This guy is fuckin incredible.

amazing!!

Nailed it..

@oedchalkidonas He was talking while they were troubleshooting a technical difficulty, that's why he kept strumming it and even specifically told the audience "As soon as we get this ukulele on..." as they were trying to figure it out.

Great!!

James hill is my music teachers teacher

Good, impressive

I would do anything to be able to play that! Im about to spend a long time, watching this - and looking for tutorials - to see if i can play it, eventually! Quality :)

I'm waiting for James to combine his feet tapping and finger tapping simultaneously.

Well done

@leo959 In Canada they use ADF#A tuning on their ukulele.

Great maritime music. Can’t wait to see how he incorporates the spoons

que afinacion tiene el ukulele?

молодчина

how tf u found this xD

wtf, how is he doing this...? awesome :)

You are from NS? Sweet! What part?

what chord is he playing at the start??

@sclongisawesome In fact, he's actuall pronouncing it a more modern English way. Which I guess technically means he is pronouncing it correctly, however it is more common to use the more traditional way with a long u.

does anyone know what uke he's playing?

WHERE CAN I LEARN THIS??? TABS OR SOMETHING?

what is the name of the song? start at 5:23'' with feet :)

@Gaeuvyen He actually pronounced it right, that's how traditional hawaiians say it.

Can you give me this song spectrum

i really really want to learn how to play this song or at least play some songs that are similar. Does anyone kno the tuning?

@sclongisawesome That's not how traditional Hawaiians pronounced it as that would mean that the word goes against traditional Hawaiian pronunciation keys.

@paperpro3223 how about organists? lot of foot pedals and more than one keyboard. how do they do that? lots of practice

You can watch the video in slow motion, that might reveal some secrets ;)

Sounds indian haha loved it

2 4 7 likes, those number means 'I love you' in my country /Mongolia/

@paperpro3223 do it. any person with a youtube account can say "anyone can do that"

@patrick20210 Quebecois are not Canadian, they're Quebecois.

Damn straight cèilidhs are Canadian.... A large percentage of the population are descended from Scottish and Irish immigrants. Nova Scotia means "New Scotland" for goodness sake! Modern day Nova Scotians have carried on the musical traditions of their forbearers. Check out the music of The Rankin Family, Natalie McMaster and other well known Cape Bretoners, and I think you will agree, they represent the home countries extremely well.

No Céilí's are an Irish tradition and so is smash the window, fiddle's are also an Irish trad. Instrument

...a Scotia! Seriously, couldn't cut it at a a better spot?

Did he really say ceilis are canadian...

Aż się morda cieszy - tak sama z siebie :D wiem że mnie nie rozumiecie , ale no nic Google translator pomoże :P

Any drummer with decent independance can do the foot and playing at the same time..Like if you agree

Lets be honest it's a Scots/Irish thing. Ceilidh Is the Gaidhlig spelling and where James comes from (Nova Scotia) I should imagine that is how it's spelt. However, I'm guessing your Irish from the spelling you use so all's cool. Alba agus Erin gu brath.

James is from BC

ceili is actually an irish thing james hill , get it right man.

check Jake Shimabukuro

wait so james is canadian...? well then...

lol, G string.

Using feet and hands to produce music is the work of the devil? What does that make us organists? (pedalboard reference).

Are you saying you are a superior player? Prove it, and post your uke tune....

Stop talking just play..you are verry good player but you talk too much !

amazing!!!
