Default amazing Kalei on Blackbird Uke
i'll need to move this over tonight into the "other stringed" subforum, but I wanted to let my fellow guitarists see the amazing music and tone from such a simple instrument:



enjoy and expand your options

There are a bunch of young players that are just a step behind Jake Shimabukuro in skill, just awesome players. Sometimes I see something like this video and have to wonder, "Why do I even bother working so hard at this guitar stuff, I'll never be anywhere near THAT good". And trust me -- UAS (Ukulele Acquisition Syndrome) is no less pervasive than GAS.

Hardly a step behind. JS is one, if not "the" contemporary original, but like all men, not necessarily the best anymore. I say this knowing even he would agree. Some great young players out there furthering what was started.
