He's 4 years old. Doesn't know the Jason Mraz lyrics, but check out the barre chords, inflections and percussives. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErMWX--UJZ4 He plays a 4 finger (B shape) E chord better than I do.

(I hesitated to show you guys) BTW, "I'm Yours" on uke was featured at SSSJ this year. Tanis did a fine job on the vocals. It is the most played, overplayed and hated song in uke circles, though everybody loves the video of this kid. lanaki Posted 2009-12-15 10:55 AM (#387233 - in reply to #387221) Subject: Re: THIS is why you start your kids on ukulele Joined: October 2006 Posts: 5575 Location: big island wow, cap'n! you da ukulele man.
