What took Bob Marley and a full band to accomplish, Steve-san Onotera (who goes by the handle samuraiguitarist) was able to do all on his own.

A new video from Onotera shows him performing the Marley hit Three Little Birds using three ukuleles, a snare drum, tambourine, organ, bass, and harmonica. 

“Making this was by far the hardest thing I have ever done musically,” Onotera wrote in the video’s description. “My brain hurts.”

In December, Onotera performed a rendition of Blue Öyster Cult’s 1976 hit “(Don’t Fear) the Reaper” using only iPads.
