His performance is such a trip! I notice right off how he varies volume and tempo pretty dramatically. (At least, I think that’s what he’s doing.) It’s amazing too the constant flourishes he brings to everything (like hammer-on/pull-offs and little slides?). (I just flashed on that old Elvis song, “Love Me Tender,” which is like the diametrical opposite: stripped utterly bare of flourish. I always thought it sounded kind of funny but also sweet that way.)

Anyway, one question: what do you call that kind of intro he does at the start? And what is that ultra intense strumming he does later in the song??

Also, how in the heck does he keep from beating his ukes all to hell lol.
