    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.

      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!

    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.
