saw him perform this live in nyc...goosebumps and tears of happiness...he really makes you lose yourself in his music...the world is sometimes hard and cruel, but he makes beautiful evrytime he takes the stage...that and his smile is quite endearing...
I saw you perform last night at the Barclay Theater at UCI in Irvine California and am just blown away by what you can do on the Uke! As a Ukulele player myself even I couldn't imagine the music you can produce from that instrument. Your technique and skill are just unbelievable! One of the most enjoyable concerts I have ever been to...and I'm in my 70s, so I've been to a lot of concerts! Thank you Jake, thank you.
I have been following Jake for years now. I love his music and got me into listening to other ukulele musicians. Him and his brother are really great at playing the ukulele
Holy crap this is some crazy work. reminds me of Jean Baudin... with a ukelele instead of an eleven string bass. I think the variety of sound he gets out of this speaks volumes in comparison to that. Incredible stuff.
PLEASE keep coming back to The Carolina Theater in Durham. Been twice now. This needs to be a regular event. It's a great show in a wonderful place perfectly suited. Always amazing!
Saw Jake's show a few days ago in Ann Arbor. Mind = blown. This piece in particular had tears streaming down my face. Would have loved to been able to shake this man's hand and say thank you.
I remember years ago listening to this Talented young man at Charley's in Paia Maui , knowing he was going to go BIG ! A natural gift he has shared to all of us, Mahalo Jake !
hey much aloha I'm a houlie Boy living in spokane-wa. and days I'm feeling really homesick. I just look up old Jakey Boy😎. No more problems. Thank you and Aloha....Aiea boy.
awesome passion for his music that he shares so inspirationally with the youth, topped with an anti drug message to encourage them to find and follow their passions.
We saw Jake in Iowa City a couple of years ago.. We both wish we could have seen his revisit this year :( . And the other not forgiving ourselves is buying the concert on a thumb drive. Hope to remedy that if he ever comes close to us again. Thanks Jake - hope your family is fine !
he showed it to us today, around the neck like a large lanier, comes under the uke and hooks into the sound hole. Very cool. supports it when he plays, but can flip the uke if not held.
It blows my mind how much he absolutely shreds on four tiny strings!

I remember when he was in Pure Heart. I can't believe how famous he's gotten since.

+onaturalia What's the pedal at the start?
He's so good
Wow. Nothing short of amazing
Yes, I would definatly love an autographed album!!! Keep on Rockin' Aloha!
So amazingly good! He has improved a lot since I first saw him playing while my guitar gently weeps 8 years ago.

Another gold! Superb skill and amazing heart. where can I get more??
This is fantastic! My teacher got me into ukulele and he told me to check Jake Shimabukuro out. So glad I did!

I didn't even know a ukelele would be able to sound that amazing.!!
Thanks for watching! Glad you like how it sounds!
Wow!! I have a whole new respect for the Ukulele. That was amazing!

He's just amazing! I remembered watching him in Bangkok.
Thank you Jake for sharing Hawaii's Aloha with the world.
this is really amazing...more than that
amazing
this song is my concentration song. absolutely love it.
awesome!
This is awesome!!
Simplemente perfecto, Jake es una inspiración, YOU ARE AWESOME Jake shimabukuro
wow!...wow
Beautiful music...nuff said:)
Buenisimo! Hace tiempo que quiero conseguir un ukelele... Nice work man! Keep up!
wow he is amazing
We love Jake!
I still can't believe how he made the ukelele sound like an electric guitar at the end. I guess effects pedals have come a long way.
Howard Mao I think it's just a overdrive pedal
It's a fretted stringed instrument plugged into an overdrive pedal. That's 1960's technology.
Man this is great
Looking forward to meeting you jake
Wow, that was incredible....
So good!! ^o^
That's hella sick
Really hope that he could do some tutorials or publish his sheets. I want to learn so badly!
epicooooo
I just ushered for his show and it was GODLY
I don't hear a lot of news about ukelele but this iis awesome!
so i learned this song a few years ago by ear. now jake decides to throw in a beast solo. time to figure that out xD
He should totally try to go to the house of blues in cleveland OH (USA) I would totally get tickets to go see him
It sounds almost electric, is it connected to a cord?
Unbelievable.
This is as good as any progressive rock or jazz fusion piece.....and that's saying a lot.
Wow! - BTW does anyone know what type of strap he has hooked to the sound hole? It looks interesting.
he showed it to us today, around the neck like a large lanier, comes under the uke and hooks into the sound hole. Very cool. supports it when he plays, but can flip the uke if not held.
UKE ROCKS!
Holy crap...
凄いなぁ・・ウクレレ四弦でココまでできるんやね・・・
いやぁ聴き入った
ウクレレが凄いというかジェイク島袋さんがすごい
tutor me, jake!!!! you're awesome
Aloha from Hawaii!
Only associated ukelele with one type of music but now... wow.
inspirational to a beginner uke player
I had no idea a ukulele could do this wow
I am inspired (':
Honestly, I wonder what's going on in his mind throughout the performance! really curious lol or that's just deep concentration haha
Him and Sungha Jung should collaborate! It'd be Uh-May-Zing! :)
REPRESENTS DAH HAWAIIANS
damn i had no idea ukelele's could shred like that
Beating myself for not spending the $80+ for his concert here the other night. AHHhh stupid meeee
After listening to that, everything else in life seems boring
In this video, he kinda looks like jet li. Just sayin
