[Pootie88]

a fucking work of musical art crafted by none other then the great jake shimabukuro.. no ones got shit on this guy man lol

[sirenamber]

This man is amazing. This song always makes me feel better; thank you for posting this. Which album is it from?

[killbob234]

[bkcalvine]

Crosscurrent.

[G0D666]

[taylor410ce]

God, i love this song. :)

[taylor410ce]

[aotayde2]

[taylor410ce]

i left you a message with my e-mail address on it like a week ago. Did you get it?

[nathanewa]

@aotayde2 hey wat is the name of dis song??

[cassarin0]

wow this excellent..never really heard a ukulele before but from watching this it's inspiring.

[notaguitarhero88]

what a totally sick riff from firey depths of HELL! only such a ghoulish masterpiece could be performed by none other then the dark prince of destruction!

[GuitarFreakMoFF]

name of this beautiful song ??

[taylor410ce]

Crosscurrent.

He mixes in alot of other stuff with it too, that is what makes it one of a kind.

[Skydog5280]

Crosscurrent. I understand it's the title track of one of his CDs. You probably figured that out by now.

[DylanCobb]

beautiful...

[guting]

Genious, and no other performance of crosscurrent can match this.

[Skydog5280]

Nice of you to say that for him, but other musicians know and appreciate real talent. If I'm not mistaken, I saw your video post of While my guitar and Crosscurrent. You're an excellent player yourself man. keep on jammin'. I've played guitar for 45 years and most people consider me quite proficient. I bow to you guys on the ukes!

[labay42]

Still amazing

[Merleatron]

HA! words can't describe this

[t0v3]

Beautiful, inspiring, amazing.

[labay42]

I search for this performance all the time.. truly inspiring.. time stands still

[killthakitty300]

i know it's tapping, i play guitar but its a riff from some classical music i believe, but im unsure, if anyone knows the name of the rifff from the first 20 seconds let me know

[taylor410ce]

Jake has said in a interview that when he was a kid he would listen to classical music and then try to play it on the ukylele. so you could be right.

[ikaika40]

To add to that, Watch the video of him playing "Dragon"....the same "tapping" technique is used.

[ikaika40]

that opening "riff" is a technique called "tapping" research it! i juss learned how to do that, but of course not ThAt GoOd....yet...aloha'z!

[MarkoKassenaar]

When do you play in Holland??????

[killthakitty300]

what was the opening riff from :01 seconds to :21 seconds?

[LesseGj4rtsen]

he has got so incredibly much feeling in his hands

[taylor410ce]

can anyone find a good LiVe cd of him?

[GypsySilver]

Thanks for that Brendan, and yes, he's awesome... you wouldn't think anyone could get so much melody out of just 4 strings... fantastic!

[GypsySilver]

Brilliant! Anyone know the name of the song?

[brendan24681012]

"crosscurrent" my man, this guy is amazing eh?

[RaphaelDussud]

Incroyable! Il donne un autre sens au ukulele, il en joue comme d'une strat oO **Admiration** je sais pas pour vous mai moi j'appel ca un putain de virtuose!!!

[jejehere0]

The one who wrote the comment bellow me is going to die because i am going to kill him. he thinks he can play better. such an idiot.. this man is a talented guitarist.

[Yoman1634]

BMF. One Bad Mother F*#ker

[taylor410ce]

this will aways been my favorite video on youtube.

[remibod]

WOW! Vraiment magnifique... :-) Pleins d'émotions c'est vrai! Il doit etre génial à voir en live...

[StMaqs]

J'adore! c'est à en pleurer, trop intense, trop d'émotions et trop d'respect pour lui ...

[kaeo7095]

he uses his wrist and his fingers thats how he learned

[leo959]

i thought of something kinda fucked up, even though i luv his music alot.. but he must be the worlds fastest masturbater...

[xv781982]

Hooooly canooooly!!!!!!

[MM4Lyfe1122]

amazing, i totally agree with the soal thing, too bad his albums arent this beautfiful.

[Telusion]

I get goosebumps everytime I hear this. If you can't say he plays straight through your soul after hearing this you don't have one

[fallenoxc]

Jake owns, bottom line.

Hes is by far the coolest guy ive ever seen.

[coltenthortodhunter]

where can i get a n electrick baritone uku?

[taylor410ce]

i don't know why but i can't stop watching this video. i watch like once every night.

[drumfreak66]

Hey drummers check out my latest vid!

[MattColl422]

He's got some neato skill

[koryang]

forealz.. what is this song called..? i want to know too!!!

[ol0pl0x]

It's called Crosscurrent but he mixes some other songs there as well, all he's own handwriting. The dude's like nothing I've ever seen

[Fillerfatten]

Crosscurrent

[catatonicpinoy]

what song is this.. O.o?

[Fillerfatten]

Crosscurrent ;)

[Qpidon]

Hard to beleive that just 4 strings sounds so Angelical....Amasing.

[taylor410ce]

yeah i know he would make a really good guitar player.

[MazinDizer]

All of this yelling should get this vid an honors for discussion.

[immortalmoo]

bloody awesome jamming! cheers :D

[jdeb]

This song is called Crosscurrent. It's so nice !!

[SithBerserker1488]

HOLY SHHHHT!!! INHUMAN man, I can only give you a 5 in here, but I give you a 100

[beastmaster112]

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST! He is the Eric Clapton/Hendrix/Etc. of the uke

[hermawanlukman]

Jake, you're very,very,very inspiring. Thanks a lot.

[dan3131]

little guitar, great playing

he´s got perfect control

so rhythmic, but so warm sound

[taylor410ce]

I realy don't know what to say about that.

[M00nlord]

Describing his performance in words is easy.. describing to sentimental psycho how much you love this, while you're naked, is a bit harder..

[cloudoflove]

i hate you pretentious fucks that use words like "haunting" to describe this.

[Tronman63]

I hate people that nickname themself "CloudOfLove" and make statements like that.

[EkulProductions]

And I hate people who have grudges on other people who are just commenting on the video and expressing their own feelings. They're somewhat idiots and yet pathetic, sad lowlifes who need to get a grip of their lives.

For someone at the age of 26 swearing in the Youtube comments should know better.

[taylor410ce]

dude, chill out.... its just a comment. i mean fuck, you know, he can swear as long as it is in a positive way.

[EkulProductions]

Who said it was in a positive way? It wasn't, so before making further comments, make sure what you say is correct, maybe then you won't look the fool.

[taylor410ce]

which one are you talking about?

[EkulProductions]

It's been deleted... I think. It started off sayin, ''I hate people.'' and it was against ones innocent comment.

Ok?

[taylor410ce]

what are you trying to say?

[EkulProductions]

For the love of God! When will you drop this subject you annoying, pathetic child!

I'm trying to say what I said in the previous comment! You know, the one you picked a pointless argument upon, now will you drop it for goodness sake. Go annoy someone else who's at least interested.

[taylor410ce]

sorry man, at first I didn't know what comment is was that you were talking about. Now I do and I guess I was wrong. So maybe me and you can go play golf some time.

[EkulProductions]

Lol, you make me laugh, you know that? :)

[taylor410ce]

love you too man:)

[EkulProductions]

Hah!

[petya5ya]

Unbelievable

[eyeballnick]

this is such a haunting piece. but at the same time is so touching. Tells a story i think. Amazing

[wuoshi]

[Cch2]

I don't think I can describe his performance in words.

[G0D666]

This guy is amazing.

You push the e string 5th fret up, not alot just enough for almost Bb. Looks like jake picks with his thumb, thats hard as hell at that speed and amplitude but can.

[Isiena]

this song really hits the soul around the middle transition.

[sentimetal]

Yeah, Crosscurrent is awesome, though, it's heaps better live.

[wurlybird9]

the beginning was starting to bore me...but then when he gets into it....his picking rhythms are great. he puts so much energy in it sounds like way more than 4 strings.
