DVD Reviews of Play Loud Ukulele
DVD Review: Not for a Beginner
Summary: 3 Stars
If you want to watch the best in the world then this is a good dvd. Jake is awesome. However, if you are a beginner and you try to copy any of his lessons you will be frustrated. If you already play the ukulele than maybe you can try his moves, but if you are starting out it will be too much for you.DVD Review: AWESOME ON ALL LEVELS!
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently was fortunate to see Jake play live for the first time (I also met him and he is a super nice and humble guy).
I became a fan after I started playing 'Ukulele and got this DVD despite the reviews that the video quality is junky and the teaching is for advanced players only but actually found this to be misleading.
One thing I need to be clear on is that this video is about one hour of concert footage and short interviews in Japan from his Crosscurrent tour, 2002 I think and the video quality of the concert footage is good, the audio is very good so well worth it. DVD DOES Jake justice. The reason I brought up seeing him play LIVE recently for the first time is because his albums while great (and I have them all) do not do him justice, you have to see him live to really see him shine and here is your chance even if it is older footage.
There are also 3 or 4 music videos that I enjoyed as well.
The teaching part is fun, helpful and quite short but packed full of Jake style playing that is useful for a player of ANY level who is willing to take the time to go through it step by step and not rush it. He teaches several of his strumming techniques that are pretty unique to his play but really simple when slowed down, with little exception.
He then teaches you how to play "Yesterday" the Beatles classic in his interpretation and while I would rather learn this on paper with the music and tableture even I at my advanced-beginner level could learn to play this proficiently if I wanted to devote the time...everyone has different learning styles but you might find it easy to pick up watching him.
IN ANY CASE, if you play or not if you are a fan GET THIS DVD for the Live Footage and Videos. The Audio is great and I didn't really see any video problems and I am a Professional still photographer but in any case if the video quality is not hi-def it is more than tolerable, CHECK IT OUT!
DVD Review: Play Loud Ukulele
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent video and wonderfull lesson by Jake. He gives plenty of techniques to practice. If you want to learn how to play the tenor Uke like Jake Shimabukuro (the Edward Van Halen of the Ukulele) then this is the DVD for you. Forget all that macho s#*t and learn how to play Uke.DVD Review: Charming World Class Musician
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
DVD Review: Jake
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
