@@almusitano645 I think they were laughing because he was talking about peace and Bohemian Rhapsody is kind of a dark song. Then they laughed at his stretches which he did on purpose to make them laugh. He’s not taking himself seriously at the beginning so he can shock them for what comes next. Humor is different in every culture and especially in English speaking countries which not everyone gets.

There's nothing more satisfying than watching a truly talented musician become one with their instrument. Every great musician has that exact same look on their face when they get "in the zone." It's like their mind has gone completely blank and they're just letting the music flow through their body. So amazing to watch :)

If you haven't bought one yet, I would like to recommend one for you. I bought my wife a Peavey Composer AU about 4 months ago, and was so impressed with it that I bought one for myself as well. Two of our friends also fell in love with ours, and bought one for themselves. We got hers in a music store, and I ordered mine online, as did my friends. They only cost $75.00 and shipping was free. For the price, I was surprised that it is a real instrument, not a toy.

I wish I could say that I saw this video 12 years ago and that I play the Ukulele today because of Jake Shimabukuro. The truth is I wanted to learn the guitar and started learning it this past June. I then discovered the massive Ukulele community right here on KZbin and discovered how much easier and more fun it is to learn to play prior to learning the guitar. I can say with total confidence that it is because of Jake Shimabukuro and videos like this one that he made that inspired all the ukulele teachers I now study with online and I am very grateful for Jake Shimabukuro for being the incredible talent he is and for promoting the Ukulele to mainstream status and elevating its image so that I could proudly play the baritone Uke today.

Wow. Never thought a ukelele would be bringing me close to tears today. One gets the feeling this guy could coax beautiful sounds out of a spoon and two marshmallows. What a reminder that TED isn't all about talk. I'm about to go buy a ukelele for my wife. Here's hoping, if we talk real nice to it, it will give us even an approximation of that level of musicianship.
