There are two kinds of musicians, one who leaves the audience wanting more, and the other who leaves the audience so amazed, they can't imagine how there could be anything more. Jake Shimabukuro is the second kind.
I really wish I could see what he is envisioning in his mind when he played this piece. It's such a colorful pieces. I love this he is phenomenal honestly.
Simone Ammon Have you listened to Paco De Lucia? ruclips.net/video/pmps3Cc-5_0/видео.html Or my personal favorite: ruclips.net/video/NIKWBdthzg4/видео.html
It's actually rather amazing that he turned his ham-fisted right hand style into something with such dexterity. It makes it look like he is playing something impossible. He's got to be one of the best out there....
Sophia Baughn took me 8 years to finally perfect his playing style. I can now execute every one of his pieces along with seperate versions of each piece. This was the song I was introduced to. Sounds repetitive out of a person who has reached their goals, but practice makes perfect. Give it time!
What a genius! Beautiful music, exquisitly played. Bravo. P.S. Jake: I'm a bit new to the Ukulele game, is that a low or high (reentrant) 4th (G) string you use here, and what make Uke (or custom perhaps)? many thanks. Frankevich
The first 'song' I learned was the one on jake's channel called 123. It's essentially 3 easy chords over and over. Here's a good video for you though. /watch?v=78nr8QMaUbI&feature=channel&list=UL
When he strums, it sounds like two strings are missing from a guitar... Not even complaining, it's great! lacks some depth, added more clarity and character! Maybe I should get one ukulele myself.

I love that he surpasses all expectations of what can be done with the ukulele.
should watch James Hill play Billie jean though
This fellow is one of the most talented people I have ever heard. Amazing!
There are no words to accurately describe such raw and awesome talent! Been a long fan of Shimabukuro.
Call the royal society for prevention of cruelty to ukuleles. He’s killing it
So funny!
One of my favorite Jake pieces.
His strumming if freaking incredible!
I would be honored to be a ukulele played by Jake
Clover Mint That would probably hurt a lot.
EvelynDraws played from head to toe if you know what I mean.

His hands are quantum phenomena- they are here, and there, and there, but nowhere in between!
It's actually rather amazing that he turned his ham-fisted right hand style into something with such dexterity. It makes it look like he is playing something impossible. He's got to be one of the best out there....
If i could play the ukulele like that i would be so fricking happy....this man is great

I like how he really gets into it, and jams away

I hate the 20 people that put dislike under this video
I'm pretty sure he uses the high G string and he has a custom Kamaka ukulele.
good luck man!
what strings are those?
This dude has to be from the same planet as Buckethead, Keller Williams, Jimmy Herring and Jeff Austin.
what is the type of ukulele he is playing??
D'Addario ProArte Classical Guitar strings. J4401
Ich liebe meine UKULELE.....
he acts like a violinist when he plays :). he really feels the songs :). cute. haha
what a fucking god! i could never learn this, just impossible
Uh... guys, Physics is just standing over my shoulder slowly shaking their head while I watch this, I don't think they're happy about this...
literally the ukulele final boss lvl 100
2 syllables awe-some a friend of mind showed me it knightstar did

Fantastic It's a wonder Jake doesn't wear his fingers out.
3:12 sounds cool
I don't get it. Please someone explain this to me in detail.
