Could someone identify the uke Paul is using? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7_MsY2IJz4&feature=related
I want to learn this song, and before i buy a uke i want to make sure i can play this on it.

It's a tenor ukulele, maybe a Gibson... But he's mostly just playing first-position chords on it, which you can play on any size uke.

What difference does the ukelele have on you being able to play that song! as said above it's mostly played in the first position so any size Uke will do.

Yes, it's a Gibson. George gave that uke to Paul as a gift. It was purchased at a George Formby Society meeting. That is why Paul always uses that uke to play "Something" in George's memory.
