These guy is my inspiration. I never wanted to learn the ukulele before I saw him play. Now (a couple years later) it's an important part of my life. I doubt I'll ever reach his level, but the trying is worth it on it's own.

Just saw him last night in Ponte Vedra, Fl. Incredibly talented!

i can't stop watching this guy! he's amazing!

He is painfully awesome. Thank you sooooo much for posting these videos of him!!!

Can't take a breath while the the playing is faster and faster. Awesome! His feeling is wonderful . Everytime watching his playing will blow me away.

nothing can top his while his ukulele gently weeps... its poetry.

Damn! I love the inner melodies he brings out!

I have watched nearly every guitar/stringed instrument piece on KZread and I seriously haven't found anyone better than this guy. Breathtaking skill. Jake, I salute you!

i can never seen this enough. every time my practise gets stagnant this does the trick. just pure virtuosity

How inspirational is that ... he plays like no one I have ever seen ...

hot damn, this guy impresses me every time i see him

Whoa! Exciting to watch and an amazing song. Jake is crazy talented :)

I've got ticks to see him At the Narrows Center for the Arts, Fall River, MA on April 21. I can't wait!

That is some intense performing. I love watching it.

i think its the best difficult jake'song. Its so frightenning is so perfect when he play. godlike

This guy is incredible, just watch his right hand towards the end! It's insane

this guy has it all.i'am stunned....

I heard him play live a couple years ago (one of the best experiences of my LIFE), and I'm gonna hear him again tomorrow night!!! SWEET!!! :)

Well, I heard him play tonight and it was even better than the first time I heard him play, three years ago. Jake is a precious treasure from God. My pulse races when he plays and his humble genuineness brings me back to earth from the clouds above. I got to chat with him for a little bit after the concert - he's no different off stage than he is on stage. No mask, no front, just Jake. May his music touch many hearts and always continue to spring forth from the depths of his beautiful soul.

just saw him in concert last night with Tommy Emmanuel in Melbourne Australia - he is a superstar!

I think my head melted at 3:23. That was simply fantastic.

this guy is awesome....esp his 'lets dance'

He just makes me happy. Enough said.

It goes sonthing like this...what a nerve...IT'S EXACTLY LIKE THAT!!! but still amazing! I give you that.

_Unbelievable_, what this Guy are playing great songs and interpretations of this totally underrated instrument, isn't it?! Simply amazing! Should not lead to disclosure of this man who just "joy" in the hearts of his listeners! Even a "WOW" still defies any description!

I think he plays really well. Love the way he tremelos those strings too.

AMAZING

Jake Shimabukuro has great skills like NO other. He is just amazing. I also like the way he feels his music and the way he shows it. Great compositions. Those who think that this is fake are just complete morons. Shimabukuro is greatness. Keep going man!

i love the dueling banjo tease at the end! ha

I love how he gets so into it, you can see his eyes roll back a few times

Damn, the ending when the main part comes back and there's the upper notes that take over... this is fregin amazing, and as if his hand hasn't been shredded...

I FCKING WANNA PLAY LIKE HIM.... HES LIKE A BOSS!!!!

Wow, that was crazy good! Fins Up!

ho sognato sempre di vedere suonare così! Lodi, lodi, lodi, a Jake.

Speechless.

Wow, serious rockas :) He must be huge, look how tiny that guitat looks in his hands...freaky!!!So huge and still sooo fast, incredible...Great rhythm, you rock Jake!!!

That dude is from a different dimension!! shows you what 20 + years of dedication to an art will do for you, especially when you stars at 4 years old.. amazing...

i will be seeing him open for stanley jordan next month in pittsburgh...so pumped

So agree! I just found out about this amazing guy today, but I've known Chris Thile for about 10 years now and they would sound amazing together! :)

i'm in love

how do you not like this? I mean, seriousely, even the most twisted, jaded, tone-deaf miscreant on the planet cannot actually feel a "dislike" towards this. anyone who clicked dislike on this just did it without even listening to the song. because even the most ardent music-hater would be swayed by this song! this man has more talent in his hands than Paris Hilton has contraceptives in her purse.

We see you from argentina, !!! Beatiful!!!

Banjo-medley style on Uke. I love it.

OMG his inntonation is perfect

ubelievable... imma get his album once i find one

Un maquinón! A three hands man! Admirable.
