Bohemian Rhapsody Played on the Ukulele at TED

And now for something a little different.

Jake Shimabukuro strums some big sounds out of the tiny Hawaiian ukelele. 

Here he plays a cover of Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody.”  

 

(Recorded at TED2010, February 2010, in Long Beach, CA. Duration: 7:08).
