BodySurfing is actually a song on ukulele composed by Hawaiian Composer Herb Ohta. This is a cover actually.

Jake Shimabukuro single handedly changed the ukulele forever! All these people playing today pay homage to the guy. Plus he’s the most humble player ever.

When you said that it's unusual to see her pick with her thumb and index finger, not in Hawai'i. The techniques that she is using is used by a lot of 'ukulele players in Hawai'i. I think that you need to look into the 'ukulele players as it doesn't that you are familiar with them. There are so many players that are fantastic but are not as well known outside the islands. 😊

Review Feng E, imho he is the best ukulele player alive. And at such a young age.

I love your reactions and the way you picked it up so easily! You're really talented

How can we forget about "Feng E" when it comes to ukulele!!!!

Nice breakdown of what we're seeing and hearing. Those girls are awesome players!

Amazing playing, great reacting video, good to hear what you think they are doing to make the duo sound so good 😊

Loved it , been seeing them for so long . And your reaction inspires me to learn some from them 🌻

This is an awesome type of video! I've noticed that as I get better I do this with songs I hear. So it's cool to watch you figure out songs too. Thank you so much! 💜

Love the video and also enjoying your playing too Marco … I literally have just taken up the ukulele, and purchased a Tenor Ukelele, so all this is way over my head at the moment, I never realised that the Ukulele was such a versatile instrument… thanks for your informative and really engaging videos. Steve U.K.

Love this video, it's not just a reaction but very interesting to hear your opinion and talking about technique and stuff like that!

Your ability is amazing. You have great ears and talent.

It's so amazing how you catch on this video like nothing! What at awesome talent you have! I wish to acquire someday! And thank you so much for your videos I've learned so much!😊

I really enjoy your videos and channel Marco. I've been learning the uke for 3mths you have helped heaps

Wow 😮 Amazing 🤩 Love your review.

My favourite ukulele player....Marco Cirillo. You should try something like this but in your version with your tutorial and your explanation on why. I’m still impressed by you ✊👍

This was amazing!!

My favourite ukulele play is Marco😁 Big fan Sir ❤️

Yes please to more reaction videos especially for Toccata & Fugue by Tamaine. And a lesson? Thanks for your channel..so talented that you can arrange by ear. Amazing!

You got onto the best of the best. Azita's picking in this Bodysurfing clip is AMAZING. I didn't know that this was even possible. John

These island girls were awesome!!!

Hi Marco, first I’m a uke newbie and really enjoy your videos. I love that you watched this for the first time on camera, made it very fun. Yesss, they are awesome and 7 yrs later these young women really rock the ukulele. I agree with others, check out Taimane. Plus we all get to visit Hawaii virtually…

I’ve been playing ukulele since 2017 and learned this song after 2 years of playing by watching the video he’s reacting to and taught myself by slowing down the speed and pausing it every now and then. It took and about a month to learn and a year to master but if you learn it which I highly recommend you do cause it’s just so fun to play, just keep playing it and practicing each time you pick up your uke and you’ll get better at the song as time passes on. I covered this song on my music channel Dawson Reid Music and it’s so fun to play.

Grazie! Really enjoyed this vid. Take a look at Kalei Gamiao. Modern Hawaiian player (somewhat understated?) with interesting technique and beautiful tone.

You should figure it out and do a tutorial!🙏

Pleasee make a video on " On the Nature of Daylight "

The technique she used with the thumb is called tremolo.

Hi Please make 1 tutorial for bodysurfing...To play rhythms and riff by 1 person at same time...Please...Please...:)...I really wish to play atleast starting 1 minute part of it to begin with learning this in whole...

That moment, around 7:30, when you just sit hugging your uke and watch the girls playing - that's me every time watching your videos :D

Hi, Please create more classical romantic songs for ukulele, very very please

Almost didn't watch this after reading the "reacts to". Guess I've had enough of lazy KZreadrs making lazy content. Great descriptions of the technique, keep up the good work!

"Body Surfing" is somewhat of a ukulele classic with the best uke players. Jake Shimabukoro is of course great.

Kudos to the editing. 3:53 the way sound increases. Little detail

James hill - Billy Jean, Temaine (who plays by ear ...does not read music!) also with Feng E and Jake

Very good chanel 🎶

At the beginning of this year, I saw an online ad from a really low-end ukulele manufacturer using this clip to hawk its $29.99 ukulele. Given that the ukes here are a Kamaka HF-3 (about $1,500.00) and a Kanile’a K-1 (also about $1,500.00), . . . it was not exactly an “apples to apples” comparison.

@MarcoCirilloUkulele

I agree. Some of these ads really try to manipulate the audience. Honestly, even if the ad was about the same ukes they play, you will still have to put in years of work to match the skill level. A great ukulele can help you improve faster. No doubt. However, you still have to put in the work. Of course, using this video to promote a cheap Uke is misleading ☀️🎸

This is the video that made me want to get a uke and learn just to play this song! Can't find any good tutorials tho on how to play it so.. that sucks!

I love it . Please i need tab for this 😂

Check out Feng E!!

Please do a tutorial 😊

what genre of music is the song?

Yes! I’m so glad you saw this - her covers of « Don’t Stop Me Now » and « Put your records on » so energetic and gorgeous! You have to see the uke artist Taimane’s tiny desk. It will blow your mind. Also Feng E if you haven’t seen him. I enjoy so many folks though besides the bigger names like also Renee Dominique - I think my favorite people thought aren’t famous and often as a beginner uke player I fall in love with the effort, sometimes just the courage and the purity of commitment to the instrument. I also love all the teachers and experts like you that range in variety and style and give so much - so inspiring. It would be really cool to see you cover body surfing! Thanks for all you do!

Unravel Feng E pls

yeah,there is another famous youtuber named Taimane,she can play ukulele like a super star.Another interesting bass player on youtube called Davie504(known as slapper),says that Ukulele is a mimic version bass,and it's weak(I wanted to slap on his face). Plus,Taimane has a special kind of ukulele,I don't know what type it is called,it has a double G string,which makes it sound unique when playing especially classical melodies

1stttt viewwwww

Check out Evan De Silva. He's an amazing ukulele prodigy.

Interesting commentary. I wouldn’t have seen or heard what you did even if I watched it 100 times.

If you get a chance, check out Jake Shimabukuro's song Dragon. He has been compared to as the "Jimmy Hendrix of Ukulele", he doesn't sing so me makes the uke sing for him.

nice some names of chords and/or some chord progressions even if non exhaustive would have been appreciated by (noobs) uke lovers...yum yum :-)

Can u tell me the brand and model of your uke?

Oh no way. This is 100% legit!

Let me see, outside the obvious players that perform on a professional basis (Jake Shimabukuro, James Hill, Feng E...), I find that some non-professional players are really fun to watch and some have techniques I'd dream of being able to reproduce. For example, MusicalMylow for percussive playing (watch his video titled 'Stolen Dance Ukulele! (Gluten Free)' or the one for Teardrop by Massive Attack). There's a single video from this guy: John Dupra (Everybody Wants To Rule The World - Solo Ukulele) I wish I can eventually reach that level. But there's also so many talented 'regular' players I enjoy watching - and trying to understand what they are doing, many say they play without partitions : WS64 (ex: Drive), erivel and dozens more, mostly men, but fortunately more and more women. Many are asking you to watch Taimane, she's pretty much the only one I cannot stand, I find her exaggerated manners interfere with enjoying the music. Or maybe her long nails, I don't know! But even tough usually I find the videos 'xyz reacts to abc' useless, if you actually comment with your ukulele on hand and give a few insights on the techniques and/or chords being played, then that becomes a useful exercice. Take Care.
