Thanks to Gil for posting this.
Jake Shimabukuro was interviewed at the famous TED conference. Watch the first interview in the top video, the second part in the middle video. See him playing George Harrison’s “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” in the last video. It looks like Shimabukuro is a real innovator with the ukulele. Some of the stuff he does in the top video are amazing. He’s also a great interviewee. You can tell by the way he interviews that he really loves what he does, and that he has total love for his audience.
You want to hear something funny and personal? I picked up my guitar yesterday for the first time in over ten years. It was by coincidence, and coincidentally it was because of the new technology that Shimabukuro describes in the middle video. I saw an instructional youtube video on a guitar song and wanted to try it out. My son and I spent time after school yesterday singing/playing Old MacDonald.
