When Jake will come to Europe, I definitely will attend to one of his concerts.

Great lessons, maybe also of some interest for guitar-players.

I do not see any sense in regional coding of this DVD.

Quality is good. You get to watch his CrossCurrent Concert, interviews, three videos,and a learning section. He teaches you his strumming techniques...and they are advanced. This isn't traditional Hawaiian music; this guy jams and shreds on the ukulele.

This is a good dvd for learning about Jake's style. It isn't for the total beginner (e.g. no explanation about fingering for chords), yet his explanations of strumming techniques are simple and effective. The performances are also very good, though since the DVD is a bit old (2004) it doesn't feature some of the songs that really show off his maturing talent (e.g. While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Ehime Maru, are not on this DVD).
All in all, I would recommend this, as Jake's style is unique and very cool.

Jake Shimabukuro is an unbelievable ukulele player and a fantastic guy. This DVD is definitley for advanced players. He demonstrates some very difficult techniques that would take most people years to master. He shows you the techniques one time and then plays them at full speed! Beginners & intermediates might find this a bit frustrating but the DVD will definitely show you the unlimited possibilities and potential of the ukulele

I first heard this gentleman play on a flight to Hawaii. He came up on the screen and I was in awe of the way this cat made that Uke talk, walk, and sing. Anyone who is a music fan and loves a great musician will love Jake Shimabukuro.
