“While My Guitar Gently Weeps” is a solo ukulele performance by Jake Shimabukuro. The piece is an instrumental interpretation of the song originally written by George Harrison and first released by The Beatles in 1968. Shimabukuro’s arrangement gained widespread attention after a live performance video recorded in 2006 went viral online, significantly increasing international interest in both the artist and the ukulele as a solo instrument. The track later appeared on Shimabukuro’s album Gently Weeps.
