Ever since I got into guitar, I started paying attention to string instruments performances on Youtube, Facebook, etc. A while ago I stomped across this Ukulele artist Jake Shimabukuro, and his performance blew my mind. He does things on ukulele that I could never possibly imagine, and his style is pretty versatile: jazz, flamenco, rock, etc. He reminds me of Yo-Yo Ma, who got so good at Cello playing, that he basically pioneered the instrument into a more mainstream, solo instrument instead of the "niche" role in a big orchestra.
You should definitely check out some of Jake's performances, they are simply amazing.

I also saw this little 5-year-old boy playing ukulele with a big passion and it is just so much fun to watch! Check it out!
