Think the ukulele is just a quirky, goofy instrument for kids and hobbyists? No sir! Jake Shimabukuro is a truly world class musician who just so happens to play ukulele as his main instrument. And he doesn’t apologize for it. He totally owns it.
If you’d like to learn more about Hawaii’s most impressive musician (in my opinion at least), you can read more at his website.
Otherwise, let’s get right the the music! Check out these 2 videos.

Wow…what fun. If you hadn’t shared the videos — audio only – I’m not sure I would’ve guessed he was playing a ukulele. Fab interpretations and what musicianship! Thanks, Todd! 😎
