What is a virtuoso?

Virtuoso is "the Italian word that is used around the world to say that someone has an extraordinary musical ability"   Jake Shimabukuro from Hawaii is a modern day virtuoso.  Violin?  Piano?  Cello?
No.  He plays the ukulele (pronounced  oo-koo-leh-leh in Hawaii).   He plays a variety of musical genres including: jazz, blues, folk, rock and Spanish flamenco.  Look for his version of the Beatles song "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" on YouTube.
