    I love when some person appears, and shows the world how far an underrated instrument can be taken.
    This is outstanding.

    I like how Jake's playing sounds as if there were more than one musician in the room. Even after viewing this so many times, I'm still just like . . . wow.

    Just picked up a uke and having a blast. My classical guitar is in a case against the wall while I take my uke with me to the beach, to the hammock, to the park... I was in Guitar Center this weekend and they had a ukulele display, of all things - and two people were in the process of buying ukes. They were selling ukuleles in my CostCo of all places - and these were decent Kohala concert ukes. I think ukuleles are the fun, social instrument and am glad to see them becoming so popular.

    I bought a Ukulele after watching Jake play, no joke! The most inspirational musician I have seen in a long time, I have been lucky enough to see him play once while working for the Today show where he played alongside Tommy Emmanuel (and made Tommy look like he was second "fiddle")...not only is he an amazing musician, but also a VERY down to earth guy!

    Earl Scruggs is a banjo player that revolutionized the way people listin to the banjo. He is now 80+ years old!!!! but before him people thought of the banjo as an instrument in the circus or comedy. now its one of the main sounds in bluegrass and lots more.
    Jake is the same way with his instrument!!
    I can't wait to hear what comes next.
