I have heard many things in my lifetime, but I’ve never before heard an ukulele played so masterfully. Clearly, Jake Shimabukuru is a ukulele ninja of epic proportions. “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” has never sounded so good. Absolutely gorgeous!

Check out his home page for dates (damn, mostly Japan and the West coast) and more amazing ukulele.

    Pieces of my mind have been scattered unorganized like, and deposited in various crevices of the room. Being blow’d up and all, it was bound to happen.

    Wow. Just, wow. It’s nice to see the instrument played with some mastery, not just skivvy little Don Ho Hawaiian schlock.
