Lessons
Lesson 1: You And Your Heart - Guitar Lesson
You And Your Heart is another ‘breezy, rhythm guitar-driven hit’ by Hawaiian singer-songwriter Jack Johnson, and is the lead single from his 2010 studio album ‘To The Sea’.
The lesson takes a look at how Jack performs it acoustically in the key of C, but also addresses the album version which is in the key of D. The first one is a little laid back, while the original recording swings a bit more.
It also covers the progression and the main riffs which are very fun to play. It requires focussed strumming at the speed of 16th’s, while making sure that the other strings are dead by muting them with the left hand.
The strumming patterns for those riffs are carried over to the rest of the song, but should be done full on, driving and consistent.Lesson 2: Taylor - Guitar Lesson
This funky and very rhythmic song by Jack Johnson has a fairly complex intro that breaks into more simplistic guitar parts throughout the song.
If you’re looking for a great way to improve your timing, groove and ability to play rhythmically while simultaneously improving your single note runs, melodies and licks, than this is the lesson for you!Lesson 3: Good People - MattB Guitar Lesson
So this is a special guest acoustic lesson from MattB. If you are yet to watch MattB's interview series please go and check that out. For those of you yet to realize, Matt has been blind from 2 years old on, and yet has become a great guitar teacher, player, and artist. In 2005, Jack Johnson released the album In Between Dreams, a disc that would include a number of hits that cemented Johnson as an acoustic rock favorite. Hawaiian-born and California-educated, Johnson's voice and style echoes Nick Drake of the 1960's with a slightly tropical flare. This song showcases the possibilities available with four chords for a verse and a chorus, spices things up with a bluesy bridge, and, best of all, starts things off with a sweet and groovy acoustic guitar lead.
Lesson 4: Banana Pancakes - Guitar Lesson
Jack Johnson’s easy, relaxed style makes for some really fun songs to play. Banana Pancakes is from his 2005 album In Between Dreams and features an interesting percussive strumming pattern, along with a bunch of barre chords, which help the percussive effect. There are also a couple of nice little licks played behind the vocals.
Lesson 5: Better Together - Guitar Lesson
This feel good song by Jack Johnson is a great way to loosen up at the end of a long day.
Reminiscent of beach vibes and sunsets, Better Together incorporates easy chords and soulful licks with a bouncy mid-tempo rhythm.
Relax and unwind with this fun filled lesson!
