THAT WAS INSANE. like when i listened to records at high speed as a kid. he must be a classical guitarist from the techniques he used. CRAZY

Awghhhhh,That's EASY to play!!.......I was playing that the other evening......then my wife had to go ruin it by waking me up!! :eek: :D (I'm still having trouble "sounding out" all the notes to "Twinkle,Twinkle,Little Star".....It's a toughey)

This guy is from another planet....I didn't know 4 strings could make that many beautiful sounds!
I've got that song/video downloaded and every once in a while I'll play it then pick my jaw off the floor and go splash cold water in my face....

UNBELIEVABLE TALENT!

Good article and featured in the newest issue of "FRETS" magazine (along with a nice article on Ovations).

I got Jake's latest CD and you would swear it was an instrumental guitar album. Great stuff.

Yes, I just got "Dragon" as well. Great album. Note he plays a TENOR uke. I've tried soprano ukes, and dislike them, but like concert and tenors.
