He took lessons in other instruments just to improve his uke skills. [...]

Jake Shimabukuro : Official | TED.com Sometimes you just need a relaxing tune to help unwind the day. I think I've been staring at a computer screen for 12+ hours. Starting to go a bit loony if you know what I mean. So it was a very nice surprise that I stumbled upon this on my Facebook feed. I honestly don't remember who posted it but whoever you are, thank you. This is what I needed. And I'm sure you wouldn't mind listening to something a bit more mellow for a change. [...]
