Jake Shimabukuro - Thriller (MJ Tribute) (Schenectady, NY)

[@caalphaan]

I love how animated he is when he plays his Uke!

[@jonesyzajkolove]

Okay, I'm going to go practice my ukulele now. Every time I think I wanna give up, I watch one of his vids and I get even more inspired.

[@STEELO-247]

I hope you haven't given up 1 year on!

[@jthreeslayyehhh9864]

Jone Zajko I hope you still haven't given up

[@fantagerobloxandmore]

Hope ur a pro

[@jeffgillson]

Best ukelele Thriller cover EVER

[@CINRZ]

I love the passion he puts into every performance :)

[@Shizzy77]

Very nice. He really loves what he does, you can see and hear the passion in his music.

[@theinconsistentpark9060]

Wow. This guy is one hell of a uke player. The best MJ tribute on uke. :)

[@NaomiALJ]

I love how he's just groovin'.

[@filoscope]

[@MrGalagomusic]

Trop kiffant, j'adore ce gars !! :-D

[@jeanyves78100]

Un truc de fou. Bravo

[@jimkakami5561]

il aime ce qu'il fait ça se voit, j'adore et j'adorerais jouer comme lui ^^

[@anthonymajeres]

Un véritable virtuose !! Il est difficile d'imaginer tout ce qu'il est capable de jouer avec un Ukulélé !!!

[@verdiernoyama9681]

Jake est vraiment fort

[@noemygranados116]

He will be performing at my Xmas party.... How do you dance to that? Man please!!!!

[@chanwynter514]

You sir are my inspiration on Uke. It's cause of you I ever started playing and now I teach Uke for my primary source of income. Im in high school and hope to play this very song at the talent show this year.

[@TheHappyDaisy]

He's so inspiring!!

[@sparklingjane]

I'm still here in 2024

[@mrIvanmachado]

Esse cara toca bem. Ele veio ao Brasil esse mês Tocou lah no Sul No FESTIVALMA !!!!

[@DathronSpam83]

Honestly, I'm most impressed with his composing/arranging skills than his technical skills. I'm slowly working through transcribing a couple of his tunes, and they're not incredibly difficult technically, but its some really inventive writing. Not that I'm saying he's not good; he still takes those notes and does something special with them; I'm just saying what I really like about Jake, and what keeps me coming back to his stuff, is the quality of his arrangements.

[@uhL33SHuh]

Absolutely amazing!

[@AxCYeR]

absolutely stunning how can one be so talented and good

[@ceeeeej]

Fantastic. Best Jackson uke cover ever.

[@leonxavier33]

[@joselima8421]

Simply Great

[@skonenblades]

Sweet composition.

[@EmCamDav]

Jake is the best - see him live if you can

[@lolyougotpwned]

You lucky duck! You got to see him live!

[@akajiblubb2401]

i havent dared to close this video before it finished

[@gorillius]

Jake your electrifying in many ways I can see so many things coming out of your performance that its not possible to write it down here but really the way you seem to feed enormous amount of energy & soul into the this little instrument from both arms and holding it to the center of your body it has no choice but to scream out music in every note. man its a wonder the strings dont break or the uke catch fire. Even your shirt with lines drawn into your center are so fitting for this performance

[@gblan]

Makes me want to play more!

[@grandbib]

voilà un gars qui prend du plaisir à ce qu'il fait! Son sourire est au moins aussi entraînant que sa musique.

[@miacui60]

ohhhh! My dream!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@gorillius]

I never imagined this little uke being pushed to its far reaches and I wont use the word limits I was really enjoying your chops but also cringing and waiting for the little uke to burst but it held together. Im going to catch one of your shows when you come around. I just got hold of my second uke and it puts out a very sweet sound but I must say you are really blazing up some new trails for me to ride through if it should come about that way. Im on beginners trails for now. Aloha

[@GrumpyCoyoteTunes]

Brilliant - thanks for posting this!

[@dkhasar]

dude you are my hero. i play guitar but could never do what you do on the uke bravo

[@AnimalLov3r911]

WO THIS IS AMAZING..... HES AMAZINGGGGGGGGG

[@doodoosk8r]

Dude... I play the uke too. But that was HELLA GOOD. It was Godlike. Great job.

[@Asra7Kanon7rko7]

[@kateperednia8655]

WOW!

[@jerrylip1695]

this is amazing

[@DjChraine]

love how he just gets so into it

[@McPhersonBassMaster]

@korinstower202 He mainly uses a tenor. This one was custom made for him. I don't think I've ever seen him with anything else.

[@RedStripeKhan]

This is a beautiful Kamaka Tenor 4-String uke

[@alexwangmusic]

ty for uploading this and that was awesome @ jake :DD

[@hadyfo]

AMAZING OMFG I FOUND MY SELF A HERO

[@Sstoneisawesome13]

[@jeffersonluciano6049]

Master! Teach Me!!!!

[@みのみの-p8z]

ジェイクすげ〰️わ

[@CurtainGuy]

@kevpingu It's a Panasonic HD camera... I don't have the model number on me right now though. I've used it for most of my channel's videos this past year with a couple of exceptions.

[@cribeiro7]

just saw him here in Sao Paulo, he's the most simpathic and charismatic performer I've ever seen! ahahahaha

[@patsymaddoxevans2844]

whoa so good.

[@MisterSpacken]

....only blessed

[@karldapogi9028]

genius!

[@bikespike4150]

How does he get up so casually though.. like..

[@fredfarnackle5455]

That comes under the heading of... HOLY CRAP!

[@Sk8trgurlxx]

This is simply amazingg :))

[@bloozer666]

Wicked!

[@CurtainGuy]

He does have a new album with this song on it.. it's the Jake Shimabakuro Live CD

[@stud1664]

nearly good enough to watch the whole thing

[@891delta]

@Brian Eresmas Yes, the USA used its wizardry to make the Hawaiian islands appear out of no where. Hats off to you, sir.

[@darienmann]

@Cleo4696 yeah really, its possible, but the sound quality drops tremendously. The Uke was never meant to be used w/ a pick

[@timothymalaihollo6180]

world's best ukulele player.

[@CrampinPommets]

That ruled

[@Who_is_lsaac]

Damn!

[@jamespegasus1376]

worlds best

[@zambonitron]

If ANYONE thought the uke was a wimpy or dumb instrument, they need to watch this. This will make them a believer. I think I'll go out and buy one now....

[@AdamErwan]

playing ukulele is all about feelin it :)

[@TheAuntieBa]

Hooooo! Smokin'! Do you play any flamenco? I'd love to hear that...

[@Kukalakuk]

One day I'm going to get to come over to your house and say "Thriller go". Like a Ukulele jukebox. This guy.. incredible though.

[@alecjsona]

This guy is a genius.....you should hear him do Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody. He makes that instrument cooler than anyone ever has...

[@marthamariafernandezbeltra4893]

ES UN GENIO,NO PENSE QUE PODIA HACER SEMEJANE MUSICA CON UN UKELELE.SERÁ PORQUE ES UN GENIO!!!

[@fsucolotti182]

muito loco!

[@AriOfAlderaan]

Holy COW this is amazing. Anywhere we can go for downloads??

[@CurtainGuy]

@bonbon3021 I'm pretty sure they're out there somewhere (which is rare for Jake's songs). Do a quick google search for Dominator and Thriller; you'll probably find it.

[@secutorclaudius]

@bonbon3021 YOU CAN"T HANDLE THE TABS!!!!

[@georgewilkins7877]

Absolutely Fantastic !! Is this a Concert or Tenor Uke ? George.

[@rolas0912]

In deed I Want to play it MORE! :D

[@toujoursjuste]

@Skinhitta Nope. Take 15 seconds to google his name and find his albums with his own pieces. He's got great albums, just like real good pros around.

[@da1976stone]

Nice

[@CurtainGuy]

Thanks! I made sure to get as close as possible and stay on the uke =)

[@SixTenVisuals]

This guy is awesome, but is covers all he does?

[@MrTehkaiser]

Rock climbing. GG.

[@RunNingTheoRy]

Guy fucking shreds on ukulele.... Holy shit, i found my new hero.

[@jabacule]

animal!

[@CurtainGuy]

@Kukalakuk That day has come! Actually it came, like, two years ago. I just noticed this comment now though haha

[@BrenmadsMinecraft]

What type of ukelele is that? Tenor?

[@korinstower202]

does jake use a baritone or a tenor uke

[@ichbinseboss]

si j'avais pas lu "thriller" dans le titre, j'aurais pas reconnu!

[@frankthegoblin5889]

What kind of ukulele does he use I would love to have one like it

[@qctarget]

kamaka

[@enbardis]

kamaka tenor but his is custom. kamakas premium models are mostly custom.
