Добавлен 20 ноя 2013
One of the foremost ukulele players and teachers of his generation, Hill "gives the ukulele its dignity back without ever taking himself too seriously" (Songlines). While his early recordings established him as “one of the world’s top composers for the ukulele” (Rafe Mair, 600AM Vancouver) and a “rare peer” of Hawaii's premier ukulelists (John Berger, Honolulu Star-Bulletin), his more recent albums have “stamped him as a singer-songwriter and all-round musician of the highest calibre” (Rhythms Magazine).
In 2019, James amalgamated his diverse education initiatives with the launch of www.uketropolis.com which spurred the creation of several popular courses including the free "Peace Like An 'Ukulele," the $1 beginner course "Ready, Steady, Ukulele" and the acclaimed "Ukulele Jazz." James is also the host of the Uketropolis Podcast which can be heard weekly on all podcast listening platforms.

Can this old dog learn to shake a paw?
Is there one more song in that old guitar?
You wanna keep your eyes peeled for a shootin' star
'Cause dogs go to heaven and men go to Mars
Oh, the water is wide
I'm a seabird I'm a sailor
Hold me no more
I'm a lion and a tamer
And a black sunrise
Comes over the blue-eyed hills
And my heart's on fire
Still
Is it too much to ask of the sky to swim?
Or the tree to stop dancing in the wind?
I sing, "Hey diddle diddle" when my ship comes in
Take me to the place that I've always been
Oh the mountain is hig...

Billie Jean Ukulele Tutorial (Part 2)
Great episode today. I’m sorry I missed the live event. You may have been late, but you did not disappoint. Brava.
The back beat section is very good. Thank you.
@3:52 The etude (G6 theme song) sounds like the verse from Englebert Humperdinck's song, "The Last Waltz"
Did you switch streaming services? Very blurry today.😢
That's the point in your musical life, that you learn to love the 16th strumming.
Yeah, sure: _THAT’S._ “The Point”.
Sorry I missed the live. But I'll see you live at Cheltenham 😊
Great home work, thank you!
Hello from Colorado
Great tutorial vid. I like your teaching style and your v good at delivery of information. Thankyou for post. My 9 year old is practicing now
omg I absolutely just died and went to heaven. I never thought my baritone could sound so freaking beyond beautiful. i just cant get enough of this.
Every now and again I return to this cover. In my journey of learning uke, no performance has inspired me in the same way this one has. The chord-melody work, the tone, the generally wild nature of it all, it's absolutely insane. James inspired me to see that the uke can be so much more than what most people view it as, and I probably wouldn't still be playing if not for him. Banger track.
Brilliant
I can't play f#
Isn’t a G6 an inverted em7?
Egads. I thought his cover of Billie Jean was good, but this . . .
James you are amazing. Look forward to seeing you at ufogb in July. My friends birthday is 28th July. We missed out booking your workshops, but if you could give a shout out when you perform it would make her birthday. Her name is Alicia. ❤ thank you. 🙏
Brilliant. And I don't even like jazz.
what ukulele is this?? its so beautiful! and great video!
Sorry i missd it live!! :) This was awesome now you can noodle travis style on all your chords, wow.
Thanks. You answered my question.
I'm looking forward to getting Travis Picking into my muscle memory. Currently I struggle with the fact, that my thumb is not yet running automatically. I wonder how to ever get that going and be able to just think and play the melody, while the thumb is doing it's thing ...
So good
I think there's enough information to practise the main groove. I'll just skip the drums for now. But what are the 2-3 other chords on the "People always told me.." bit? Sounds like Cm an A major. But the exact fingerings? And the chord at the turnaround?
I'm going to give this a try. Maybe I have to learn to form the chords a little differently, but it's been very frustrating to find a left-hand position that provides the support you're showing and still allows me to finger all the chords. We shall see!
Great tuning for hill country blues
Take a Trip on the G6
Played soooo gooood 😊❤
Very cool chord man ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
Any relation to Avery Hill?
2:26 is craaazyyyy
Your no Feng E! (Not bad though? 😃
James/You took a knock out song and knocked it out to another level with your incredible singing!!! 🎇🎇🎇❤️
🙀
Really enjoying this one. As a huge Ella fan and a vocalist, I'd never somehow heard this song. Love that it is super sassy!
Love it
Great. A very clear and well-reasoned tutorial video!
This is a nice and well-paced tutorial. That "easier jazzy chord cousins" is a fun and inventive idea too:) Thanks!
Amazing! How is this even possible?
this makes me so giddy
