Ukulele

While looking around some guitar resource sites, i stumbled across this interesting instrument called the ukulele. It looks like a small guitar and only has 4 strings, but it has a higher "pitch" than the guitar, that has a strong bass set of strings.

Then after doing a little digging around, i found this nice site that hosts videos of people playing this interesting instrument. In particular, i found Jake Shimabukuro's video. Its awesome. I suggest you check it out. The entire file is about 20mb+ for broadband, but there's also a dialup link for those who have slower connections. This song is "As My Guitar Gently Weeps", originally by George Harrison and it was written for the Beatles:

*edit* after getting spam comments from spambots, i've decided to turn on word verification. Sorry for that, but i prefer not to have crap like that clogging up the comments.
