Learn how to play “Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World” on the Ukulele

Well the Copyright Claim against this video has been dropped due to inaction by Range Road Music Inc. Maybe they’re just waiting to sue me, who knows. In my interactions with them (through email), I was very surprised and disturbed by their supposed attitude toward music and copyrights. I explained quite clearly to them that I do not ever intend to profit from this video. It is but my service to people who wish to learn these two wonderful songs. I think they think this is still all about money for me. Frankly, I think it’s all about just money to them, rather than this wonderful legacy that their song (What a Wonderful World) has left. And for the thousands of people who are now able to share in this piece of music as a result of this video. I’m not going to take down this video, but to all my viewers, please remember that as a person going in to Christian Ministry, I will have no means at all to defend myself should a law suit be brought up against me. Please keep in mind how you have been helped by this video, and maybe if I need it some day, you would be able to help me too. Thank you all, once again for watching my video!

James Hill: Get to Know One of the Best Ukulele Players in the World

James Hill is among the best-known serious ukulele players in the world. What sets him apart from most of his peers is that he’s not from Hawaii. In fact, he’s from about as far away from a tropical Pacific island as one could hope to get: Nova Scotia, Canada. Ironically, it is largely because of where he’s from that he became a famous ukulele player. Canada uses the ukulele as a way to teach elementary school children the basics of music, much in the fashion that recorders are used in the US. Hill’s love of the instrument started in those early years of his life.

James Hill is one of the ukulele performers who actively seeks to redefine the ukulele as a serious instrument and who, at the same time, doesn’t mind referencing that fact for a bit of humor. Among his recordings, for example, is 2002’s “Playing it like it isn’t…”. Hill has collaborated with numerous other musicians, including cellists and other performers. In addition to being introduced to the instrument in elementary school, Hill was able to participate in a ukulele performance group from a young age, thus cementing his playing it as a serious instrument, ensemble or solo.

James Hill has toured extensively, throughout the United States and Canada. Of course, he’s also played a lot in Hawaii, and is respected among other accomplished and serious ukulele players. His music is largely original, having influences that span a wide range of musical genres. Hill includes among his influences everything from folk to classical. His composition skills have won him wide acclaim, both for their contributing to the body of serious music for the instrument and on their musical merit, itself. He has been called a virtuoso performer and is considered among the best currently performing.

James Hill is active in promoting his instrument, making recommendations to beginners about what types of instruments may suit their needs and other tips. He offers private lessons, but those hoping to learn to play the ukulele on a beautiful beach should be aware that he still lives in his native Nova Scotia. Since the 1990s, the ukulele has become more popular as a serious instrument and the success of artists such as Hill are both the result of that and partially to credit for it being the case. This artist’s albums are widely available online, at his site, and off.
