OMG!!! I've been looking for this video for YEARS!!! I found it a long time ago on another video site before Youtube was born, and it didn't have the song name on it, so I didn' t know how to find it. And yes, this is the same video! The riff that starts at 1:35 is so sick!
I saw this a long time back and just came back to watch it again. It's become my favorite of Jake's, even over While My Gtr... I've played guitar for 45 years and this guy makes me want to sell them all for a uke.
Jake is 100x better to see live. IF you have a chance then you definitely should go to one of his concerts! Not only that he's the nicest guy and he takes his time to meet every one of the fans!
A master of an instrument can translate what he hears in his head to what he plays on his instrument. Jake truly is a master! Can't wait to see him in April.
My hub says a journeyman can play anything anyone else can play, but a master can play a whole bunch of s#!$ NO ONE else can play. JS is a MASTER. Would love to hear him w/Phil Keaggy & Stanley Jordan. His fingers have a life of their own. It's like listening to the Christopher Parkening or Andres Segovia of the ukelele. This genius deserves our support. Join his fanclub--drive 100 mi. to see him in concer-BTW, you can get his cd's on ebay, amazon, or his own website. JAKE YOU ROCK!
is this version on Mp3 anywhere i cant find it on itunes or even the less legitimate file-sharing networks its always the studio version. Let me know i anyone knows where i can find it plz.
What year was this recorded, because I seem to remember watching this before youtube existed? Maybe I'm wrong =)
