Master!!!

Ok, we all know what it takes to become a great musician, right? Dedication, practice, and of course some talent never hurt anyone. My question is what does it take to master an instrument that no one cares about? There are people out there who take up the Banjo, Bagpipes, or Bassoon. Why? I am obviousely a drummer, by no means does that mean I've mastered the drums. I like to many other things, so my focus has never been completely on my music. I do however know many people who have mastered their instuments. Like Rhett Butler, Phil McNeese, and Martin McCall. These guys are masters of their craft. They have dedicated literaly years of their lives to honing their skills.

But when you are becoming a great guitar, bass, or drum player there are immediate payoffs. You instantly become more attractive to the opposite sex. You enter into the fraternity of musicians and feel instantly like you have more friends. There are none of these benefits to mastering the Ukulele, but this guy did it anyway. Check him out.
