Jake Shimabukuro - Don't Stop Believin'

[@kevinmathey5091]

I have played stringed instruments for over 50 years. Most of them were on my 12 string acoustic guitar. The joint in my left hand, base of the thumb, had been destroyed to the point that I could no longer play. My surgeon is also a guitar player and he knew exactly what to do. After reconstructive surgery in August 2019, I realized it was going to be some time before I could get back to my guitars. So, I purchased a soprano ukelele. Then I found a beautiful baritone ukelele and finally a tenor ukelele. I have had more joy in learning these instruments! Now, I recommend ukeleles to all my fellow musicians. Learning the ukelele has kept my spirits up and has allowed me to get back to making the music I love. Someday, I hope that I can meet Jake Shimabukuro and thank him for his incredible inspiration. The man is amazing and I never get tired of listening to his work. So, Jake... thank you! And to all of you out there looking for a great new and exciting sound to add to your show, get yourself a ukelele and start having fun with music!

[@kevinmathey5091]

@@L.A.G.- I would love to see Jake, or just about anyone, live. Unfortunately, the covid-19 situation is going to change the way we get to see and hear music performances. Still rocking my uke. 😎🎸🎶

[@TheZaza9191]

Huh?

[@alancwwong]

Ukulele is a happy musical instrument

[@STEELO-247]

I love the enthusiasm on Jake's face every time he plays!!

[@carolowens]

No one else can play like this, yet Jake makes it look so easy. Love how he enjoys playing as much as I enjoy listening. (I just play at playing for fun and know only enough to truly appreciate Jake’s skill.)

[@ejb022]

You are the best ukulele player i have ever heard

[@lukepeterson5707]

Jake never ceases to amaze me.

[@cheryldavidson5131]

This is my favorite song of all time and you nailed it!! I just showed this to my 3 year old son and told him he's got to find something in life that makes him feel the way you look playing your uke! It's plain to see how much you love your work. Amazing. Aloha!!

[@cheryldavidson5131]

My son couldn't stop smiling either. He loves your playing too!

[@LeviKeith-cg9fg]

I CANT WTOP SMILING!!!

[@STEELO-247]

Most of his covers are better than the orginals!!

[@xydtipaht]

Hard to beat Journey on this one though (but this comes close)

[@STEELO-247]

Yea. Jake always does a brilliant job and pours his heart out in every song

[@jpta162]

I would agree, but you can't beat Boheminan Rhapsody and this.

[@STEELO-247]

jpta162 Completely agree with you there, my friend!

[@jor_dasan1810]

TRUE!

[@Rkr-tb3ub]

Your music makes me happy!

[@edretheria135]

He is the cutest thing cx

[@MaryEllenWessels]

Incredibly talented, infectiously good natured and happy, and just frickin' adorable. Clearly we must all buy all his albums!!! he should do a duet with Bing Futch! The talent/looks/charm factor would be off the charts! ;-)

[@nicholas4398]

If there was an hour tutorial on this I would still be willing to watch it over and over again... Awesome job!!

[@JasonTatane]

[@shiamimn]

just accidentally found his clip, and WOW.... this was 2013 yrs ago? After watching of several vids of him,I realized what I like about his performances is his facial expressions. he's really enjoying it.

[@LeviKeith-cg9fg]

He doesn’t know how to express it in words but music is always there (: you have a gift jake, grow farther and push the limits!!!!

[@valchananita4522]

I love your face when you are playing.. because you put a lot of emotions and we can see it~~~~♥ You are huge.♥

[@tanjadeering5938]

What a great musician, talented artist and human being . Just so beautiful performance. It's a great joy to listen..

[@WhiteTiger333]

You're right! It makes me happy to play - and even happier when I finally master a chord or strum I've been struggling with. :)

[@Sunny-ye6kl]

Please make more videos like this one, awesome!

[@iluvsns]

There’s a reason I play the ukulele. It always cheers me up. Happiest instrument ever. ❤️

[@christineyong1413]

Teach me

[@JBTeach1776]

Nice

[@lelehiko]

waoooo

[@jaygibbons6198]

@Jake Shimabukuro I'm a big fan! You actually inspired me to start playing the Ukulele. Is your tuning in standard GCEA? or something different? I really want to learn how to play this!

[@서동석-d4u]

can i know the name of the strings? I heard that jake usually use daddario pro arte, and i wonder it is the sound of daddario

[@braxtonstein893]

where can i find some of his distorted songs with effects pedals and what not?

[@Fernandogil466]

I was here since 2013 🤟🏻

[@fiddlermikey]

Nice one! Funny. I was just starting to arrange this one. Now, what's the point? ;)

[@RossKPHerd]

Hey Jake! Any chance of a tab for this bad boy?!

[@JulianoAlberto2005]

Might this be not only a tuning device but also a tab displayer? ;)

[@christianfernandez7052]

OH MY GOD !!!!!! i saw your bohemian rhapsody video and it was like the best ; D but can you play an actual aucustic guitar ??!?!?!? but anyways , keep on rockin out with your ukelele !!!!!!!

[@STEELO-247]

*ukulele

[@kimberly1661]

There's a documentary on Netflix about him called "Life on Four Strings." I believe he said in it that he can, or he mentioned playing an electric guitar or something like that. But, if you can play an electric you can play an acoustic.

[@STEELO-247]

Plot twist: Ukulele plays Jake Shimabukuro

[@Andesu]

You should have a nicer background. Of course it's already a kickin video! I hope one day I make more use of my ukulele...

[@christineyong1413]

😢

[@thefullest3161]

Whats those things on top of his ukulele

[@emilycalles623]

the bitchingCrow probably a tuner. Sometimes professional musicians need a tuner bc their instruments can get out of tune during a gig. Maybe its on and he's just making his uke is still in tune or he used it before playing to tune

[@thefullest3161]

Makes sense

[@alexwing2]

What is "haloha" means?

[@yufeiee]

好听！ 他琴头夹的是什么？

[@qctarget]

tuner

[@nyati1981]

Wassup

[@jamicutsforth6731]

Jake I have a song you could elevate. Fire on High by ELO. You're awesome

[@wrenshimoji7871]

Does anyone have the tabs/chords for this

[@thelastthymelord1047]

Thuong Dinh I'd imagine it'd be okay as long as you credited him and didn't make a profit off of it

[@amandamagaud1681]

Hi! did you publish the tabs? I would be eternally grateful :)

[@christineyong1413]

Can u teach me

[@kevintesar6748]

Tab please :D

[@DaveCS103]
