I can barely contain myself for this new album.

Wow!

What kind of ukulele is that? I have to get one of those :) and how is it tuned? Would love to learn that on the mandolin..

[Adyn]

[shock] I didn't know ukes could DO that.

That dude needs to play mando, protno hahaha.

Very cool, thanks for sharing :)

Ok, I watched this video and thought it was amazing. So I've showed it to a bunch of people and they thought it was cool too- everyone was very impressed. I figured it was just some kid who could really rock, but I was wrong. I just went to Yahoo! and theres this article about a kid who plays uke and has the highest debuting instrumental album ever in Japan. So I'm thinking wouldnt it be funny if its the same kid! So I click it and it is! Well, I'm pretty sure it is...looks just like him and his name is Jake. Jake Shimabukuro to be exact. Check it out!

I believe he will be playing a show with Mike Marshall in Lincoln, Nebraska coming up within the year. I'm lucky to live 45 minutes away in Omaha, and you can bet that now I will for sure be attending.

Wow...I never knew you could get that sort of sound of a ukulele. That is bloody impressive.

[matt the fiddler]

don't forget darol anger on that concert too..

so yes.. you were correct in your thile ish assesment.. smae muscial circle and influences somewhat
darn i wish that trio would come near me...

[kokomo88]

wow, that guy was incredible (as was is instrument!)- thanks so much for sharing

[mandogirl]

wow! every other ukulele i've heard sounds dead and pathetic. perhaps i shouldn't be embarassed about playing one!

[Meghan Narser]

Woah, I'm completly blown away, this guy is great!

[chickzilla]

i will never let anyone make fun of me for wanting a ukelele again. that was amazing. [bigeyes]

[Ragamuffin Musi]

I have heard Jake play before and... Yes, Virginia - that is a uke he is playing! Unreal isn't he? Should we say here that Jake is the Chris Thile of the uke?? He gets my vote!

[Meghan Narser]

Mine too *raises hand*

[wandererunlost]

Insane.

Chris Thile should most definetly play a variation of that. It would sound amazing!
