Thought I'd seen it all.

It seems to be a "thing"... this was posted one day after yours.

 
Cute, but boring. I couldn't bring myself to finish either video. There's no reason why that kind of technique couldn't be incorporated into conventional Ukulele playing, just to add a little spice. But by itself, it just causes my mind to wander.
 
I love this stuff!! I think it comes from the world of bass guitarists because they're often called upon to be a whole rhythm section. That might be why VegasGeorgefinds it "boring". It is really just drums, and bass.

Hey VegasGeorge, here's one you might like from one of the very best musicians alive.

I'm sure to be corrected, but I think this technique goes back to guys like Michael Hedges on the acoustic guitar and Stanley Jordan on electric guitar back in the 80s, and they drew a lot from Eddie van Halen of course. Billy Sheehan carried it to bass and was picked up by Wooten and others.
