Jake is indeed the delightful, sincere, humble, lovable, respectful person that comes through on this youtube. And look at this Ryan! What a talented kid. I hope to see them collaborate in a few years. It will be truly amazing.
When I first saw Jake it was 2 months ago in Byron Bay and I was not only blowen away by his playing but I couldn't help being impressed at the natural warmth and genuiness of the guy. This video has seriously reinforced that. What a wonderful guy to be content to let the kid shine while he just plays a very basic rythem. This world would be a lot better place if somehow we could put people like Jake in charge.
I love the ernestness Jake shows when he jams with Ryan. What a warm and genuine person Jake is. I hope someday to be able to watch him play in person, perhaps even meet him...
amazing and a half. A great pleasure to watch the synergy between Jake and the 'pupil'. Jake seems to totally understand how nervous Ryan is and is a support without taking the spot. Really nice coupla kids.
This is a brasilian song called TICO TICO NO FUBA!!!! As a brasilian I feel excited in seing Jake&Ryan playing it. Hope one day you can come to Brasil. congratulations!!! Beautifulll Thanks for adding this video. Elpidio (From FORTALEZA/BRASIL)
Amazing - check out Jake's rendition of The Beatles classic 'while my guitar gently weeps' played in Central Park. One of the most unbelievable pieces of music you will ever see. Awesome!
wow, i think Ryan was using a G-String Ukulele, Jame Hill Series!!!! and he was playing it with Jake! wohoo! I'd like to see a James Hill--Jake Shimabukuro jamming session!!!
Fantastic!!! Its a brasilian song called TICO TICO NO FUBA. Hope Jake could came next year to Brasil (Fortaleza) to JAZZ&BLUES FESTIVAL OF GUARAMIRANGA. Elpidio Nogueira
I FREAKING LOVE IT.... im totally gonna start listening to more ukulele music. Is this traditional hawaiian style of music ? because to me it has kind of a, russian/gypsy wibe, and i freaking love it.
Ryan, you rock! We sure miss you guys! Joey got to play with Herb Ohta Jr last week :) We sure miss the 671 and "the family". Love to all. "Big Joe" PS. heretotry is right...a James Hill model G String and Jake together (lol)
Man my bad. I just remembered with your sponsorship, Derek and the gang cut you your own model, yeah? That's not a JHill...that;s a RYAN IMAMURA model, am I right? You deserve it all. Stay humble and have fun. Adios from Texas.
Jake got better. Ryan got better too. (My wife and I got a couple of personal performances out of him). Just saw them both at the 41st Ukulele Festival in Hawaii. Ryan is now teaching and brought a great group with him from Guam to the festival.Hey Ryan - Jake is faser than you - hehe.
Doesn't suck when you play and then watch a video of a kid just totally butcher your skills in 3 minutes 23 seconds. Makes you think "Why do I bother....." XD
it's awesome how jake is practically dancing while he plays. it really shows how much he enjoys playing
jake went to guam just to meet this kid.... this kid is phenomenal...you can see how happy jake plays with him....

Just saw them both at the 41st Ukulele Festival in Hawaii.
Ryan is now teaching and brought a great group with him from Guam to the festival.Hey Ryan - Jake is faser than you - hehe.
William Middleton Ryan actually brought the ukulele club from Saint Anthony Catholic School where he is an alumni from.
what's the name of the song agian ?
beautiful playing by that kid. doesn't have the blazing speed like jake...yet, but, very musical.
i wish i had an ukulele like ryan's, easier to get to the last frets!
so what did he say the song was called? I cant for the life of me hear what he says
wow i cannot wait to see ryan play in a few years he is gonna AMAZINGly nasty
qual dos japas é qm???são iguais!

I’m learning from Ryan’s teacher
he is a sophomore now, hes my classmate ha.
Qual dos japas é qm???

Yeah, but his one is all about the kid, not Jake. Jake's happy to just provide some backing on this one.
@HAOLEBUDDAH Jake is playing backup why would he play over him?
BIBA GUAM ! ! ! ! ! !
ryan's a statue, jake can't sit still. nice sight :)

Your creepy for even joking about that.
Ryan plays good but he doesn't have that flow of music tht most musicians have
