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.
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....
Simone Ammon Have you listened to Paco De Lucia? ua-cam.com/video/pmps3Cc-5_0/v-deo.html Or my personal favorite: ua-cam.com/video/NIKWBdthzg4/v-deo.html
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
There are no words to accurately describe such raw and awesome talent! Been a long fan of Shimabukuro.
This fellow is one of the most talented people I have ever heard. Amazing!
One of my favorite Jake pieces.
What beauty in his hands. Especially looking at his fingers. Darn awesome! Jake 💕
he's great...so much fun to listen to and watch !! YES Great job, Jake
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.
made me lol. Is that a pick up line?
I think is guys is easily the best to ever play a ukulele. He’s easily the best player alive today.
His strumming if freaking incredible!
Gotta love people who feel their music and move to the beat.
Call the royal society for prevention of cruelty to ukuleles. He’s killing it
So funny!
Wow! Watching play this amazing rendition was just plain fun.
literally this is the most amazing thing i have ever seen like in my entire 14 years of living. that's pure talent and practice right there.

His hands are quantum phenomena- they are here, and there, and there, but nowhere in between!
I love this guy.

He made love to his Ukulele and they gave birth to beautiful music.

Insanely talented.

Olé Jake...que grande eres!
Thx Master.
If only my fingers could work the fret board like this - I'd be in heaven.
It was like he cast a spell on my ears and they were in a hypnotic trance for a couple minutes! I have to learn how to play like that!

buetifal
he acts like a violinist when he plays :). he really feels the songs :). cute. haha
What a genius! Beautiful music, exquisitly played. Bravo.

Damn!!!
Top!
I'm pretty sure he uses the high G string and he has a custom Kamaka ukulele.
good luck man!
Nice fun.
Yeah, yeah, yeahhhh, but can he play 'Tip toe thru the tulips'?
Hilarious
This dude has to be from the same planet as Buckethead, Keller Williams, Jimmy Herring and Jeff Austin.

Trop fort
2 syllables awe-some a friend of mind showed me it knightstar did

My finger tips just started to bleed.
R Dees + Jena Garmon Lol at least u try 👏
Ich liebe meine UKULELE.....
Fantastic It's a wonder Jake doesn't wear his fingers out.
