jack Johnson Guitar Lesson (Better Together)

[TurkeyPhuck]

hey question? is it still gonna be "correct" if you use jacks first two chords to replace yours and then play your version for the rest of the chords. cuz it sounds good but i was just wondering

[NikotheRicoSuaverson]

[lock425891]

thankyou your help is much appreciated

[johndoe30372]

This lesson was greatly improved by the vuvuzelas in the background

[xXZeffronChickXx]

SOOO CONFUSED

[boyerstudios]

great tutorial man! i picked it up n like 10 min after watching

[h3ptagrama]

dude this is not boring at all! u Are a good teacher!

[mtokumoto0]

this lesson's a bit more dry/not as engaging compared with some others online

[sunsoma]

Just want to say a BIG thank you- we have been asked to play this at a friend's wedding and your video has made that possible!! We like your style of delivery- very informative and clear. All the best from here in the U.K!! xx

P.S You are not boring!

[blistersonmythumbs]

you're a good teacher i teach guitar myself from home

[AlecMejiaShow]

wow you taught me more then any video or tab thx!!!

[erickstamand]

thanks for the great treaching. your video helped me a lot to learn the song

[Johnystoo1]

im gonna have to watch this a few times and learn it by heart... it was the song i had w/ my X and im gonna play it b4 asking her out but i wanna be able to play it. Thanks :)

[hugenoodles]

good stuff going on here. great teacher great lesson

[TheFirstSteph]

Thanks for posting this video, I was struggling with a tab and this sorted me out, you have a nice laid back teaching style, one thing that would help me and possibly ohers is just to mention what fret number you start some of the chords on etc. Excellent vid Thanks

[TheFirstSteph]

Hey, Just looked at your channel, loads of swet songs and lots of fret umber smentioned :-). One thing, could you possibly explain how you mute the 2nd and 6th in the F\A in this, I don't seem to be able to get it right...

[markidontknow]

yoh i live in mesa az ^_^

[sk8rch1ck]

wow this is really cool i never thought i would learn to play a jack johnson song in one day! thanks lot!!!:D

[illusif]

Great job m8 now i know how to play this song thx! and make more videos ! :p

[smittymike19]

excellent video. loved the little tidbits in there about barring chords and the theory stuff. Thanks.

[tturtle12]

are the online lessons free? if so then i would be itrested

[hustler420ify]

good job.thanx.but it kinda defeats the purpose of people paying you to learn guitar when they can just watch you on youtube.but once again thanx,i live in peoria,il so thats kind of a long drive to take guitar lessons!!!

[lyconthrop]

you're good at teaching guitar..keep it up!

[sepe1987]

nice lesson, iam having a hard time with barre chords and this is a good song to make my chord changes work better! ty alot dude!

[SowingSeason7]

Really great video

I Understand how to play this now! Haha I just wish my hand were strong enough to play it

Lol I will practicee

[PierreColombia]

Awesome man! thanks for the lesson.

Greetings from Colombia!

[sandyman155]

Amazing guitar teacher! Really patient in helping novice guitarists

[crlguitar]

Excellent teacher for sure....

An easier way to play this song for beginners is to capo the 3rd fret and play in 'D' relative to the capo position....

[cameronbas1]

really great lesson, thank you so much =)

[jeminiany222]

thanks alot dude!! best guitar lesson i've ever seen on youtube for sure

[fatstashpro]

very good lesson with some different cords. it helped me out a whole lot. i would love if you would do SUBLIME BOSS DJ for me, i don't know the strum and nobody has a lesson for this song and it's one of my favorites, thanks a lot, keep it real.......peace

[McW2k]

nice lesson, but the chords are really hard to play and i´m pretty sure jack johnson is actually using simpler barre-chords like in the video lesson from MrKiplinUnleashed

[gypsy228]

thank you so much!! this is really useful :D

[NZlevi]

great lesson mate, keep it up... i found it very comprehensive and easy to understand, your an excellent teacher.

[Arod920]

Great Vid!!!

[KenDedes94]

its hard to do the cords :'(

[KenDedes94]

what should i do if i have small hands? :(

[hartaful]

thankyou for the hepl.and your very cute!lol

[caste0]

great lesson ;)

[YamboMuzeek]

you are not boring at all! you are one of the best i've seen on here. thanks for your time and the comprehensiveness!

[boardriders45]

the verse sounds alot like Pachelbel's Canon

[ganilisto]

If you'd like to know why look up "Pachabel rant" here on youtube. It's really funny and actually pretty educational lol

[bboyxchristian]

why don't you cover this!

[7abriel]

Awesome! Thanks man!

[Rtiztktina]

omg its too hard=( =( wish u were my teacher i live all the way in cali. i wanted to play it for my sig. other but i can't its too hard for me=(

[chickmagnet278]

Hey thanks for these great videos, if you got some extra time on your hands it would be awesome if you could figure out bigger than love by my favorite highway, because there are no tabs or videos up on how to do it, and they have a acustic video that you could copy but it takes me forever and i cant do it

[bilo1957]

greetings from Berlin from Tott Di good lesson.....

[Vitorkz]

man, i'm just here to thank you :D

unfortunaly i'm from brazil, far from your lessons i gues XD, but i realy liked your video

for now i just have seen better together

thx man, good luck with your school

[flapjackKaty]

haha this video is good by the way. i dont think theres too much info. I also really liked the sitting, waiting, wishing lesson you did. really helped. thanks for making them!

what fret does jack put the capo on?

[flapjackKaty]

whats with the first two chord diagrams for jacks version? why is is x8101010x? theres too many numbers

[fgtm]

X 8 10 10 10 X

[jazmin1234555]

I Love ur version....I'm trying it on my guitar right now

[joey77xx]

those chords are way too complicated for me, but you sounded very good playing........well done

[toluwanile]

all the more reason to practice them, and then, they'll become easy. :)

[Potaaato]

My hands are too small for some of these chords, lol.

[sfsmith1818]

yea or just the rest of the song in general?

[sfsmith1818]

what about the chorus?

[amovingpicture]

You are a fantastic teacher dude. Your delivery is good. Your pace is good. The amount of info and background is just right.

Good job.

[fgtm]

Thanks. Glad you liked the lesson. Some complain there is too much info. I include whatever I think of at the time of recording. I post these songs to teach, not show off. Good luck with your playing! -Micah Beverly

[smittymike19]

@fgtm hey its 10 minutes long to learn a song plus some good extras. I personally like the extras..

[FahhQ33]

@fgtm I thought it was very good. I like how you go a little off topic and explain things. For instance when you talked about the positioning of your knuckle for bar chords that really helped a lot

[texaspimpgtz]

can you post an inst. video on how deep is your love but john frusciante's version im not very good at determining strum patterns so the tabs i have dont really help to much..please and thanks

[DmCWinners]

Sounds much better! Loves that version!

[pedronery2007]

you are a genius :P

[Schalkrider117]

you can also get the tab for this song and chords and lessons things at ultimate-guitar(dot)com

[fgtm]

YES. Everyone should check out online tabs and stop asking me for them! ;-) if you want the actual tabs as he plays it, look in the book at your local music store. You can also buy the correct tabs online. Just google it.

[sagenabs]

cool what abou tthe solo bits?

[oxbluepandaxo]

what song that sounds cool would you reccomend for a beginner ?  :)

[Bkeefe2143]

free fallin - John Mayer

[Knutorius]

banana pancakes

[geevesmcbarber]

Wonderwall - Oasis

Time of your life - Green Day

Yellow - Coldplay

(:

[seandamon2005]

definately banana pancakes

[Combatant123]

Great lesson, thanks very much for making this vid.

[JoshuaGarwin]

this song is awesome

[versace8240]

Amazing song <3 I just got a guitar and have no idea how to play it...but im determined to lean Jack Johnson...guess ill have to find an instructor in California =/

[Rjbotman]

forgot to mention:

In the chords Jack uses:)

Ohe yeah, and one other question!

After you have played 688766, 5887xx must be played. But it sounds a little off, because of the 5... Cant get that played smooth!

[Rjbotman]

isn't it easier to use 81010988 as last chord, so you can just move one down playing next x8101010x.

Instead of moving from x3555x all the way up to x8101010x?

Nice vid though!:)

A lot of things were really useful!

[Venture4life222]

thanks dude...this hela help...

[dom1912]

you are a great guitar teacher, keep on doing that! i will watch your videos and try to learn the songs ;) greetings from vienna!

[cooolkiiid]

dude, you are an amazing teacher!

too bad I live in England!

[apaola1987]

Hello!! I like the video. You are not boring. I would like to play the guitar. I expect to learn from you. greetings and congratulations from Colombia

[mcrguy12]

I very much enjoyed your lesson and teaching style plus you come across as very likable I'm in fla or you would be my new teacher Thankyou

[omgeverynameistaken0]

Dude. You are seriously the best teacher i have met so far in my life. You are very thorough. You explain to us the chord shapes. The note letters. Where they are used. You are slow and you show us exactly how our hands should be placed. I had a lot of fun watching this and learning how to play the song. Thanks

[leconic]

thank you so much

:) that's awesome

[yellowman88]

I can't do Bar chords damnit!!! CURSE my small weak fingers!!

anybody know a Jack Johnson song with no bar chords?

[balzac1x]

sitting, waiting, wishing has none :)

[keatross]

No, sitting waiting wishing does.

Its all bar chords pretty much.

Dont worry, just keep doing bar chords and you'll get them down.

It takes about a month of straight practice.

[balzac1x]

no

you can play a minor, g, f, c if you want, for the verse.. doesn't have to be barred.

[keatross]

yeah. but the thing is that it wont sound the same. plus the bar chords for sitting waiting wishing are good practice chords. simple and sound good. if they can get the song down the way it is supposed to be played they shouldnt have problem with bar's afterwards.

[legolas8890]

not too clear

[bluepln6]

nice job man your a really great teacher if i got the song down through an internet lesson

[hugh78735]

Hey mate

I'd be really keen to get some online lessons from you if you are still doing that? I'm in NZ so it will have to be over the web if you keen?

[gunarcgessner]

thank you very much

[infectedeffect]

Apisteuto daskalos. Thanks for all the little tips.

[trinisteel]

this is sooooo awesome! thank you soooo much!! awesome teacher. you took your time and explained EVERYTHING. this is the first song i have ever played..its a little rusty. but i got it!.

THANK YOU!

=)

[coloradoavs16]

with that whole thing about the chords in the beginning around 1:37 are you suggesting most chords are kind of barred like that?

[powersk8er92]

Very awesome lesson man. I like the side comments. You provided a lot of insight on things I didn't quite understand.

[redsoxrbeasty]

brett favre?

[KinGTaYMaN69]

almost...

[31aj]

omg! ur good. and oh did i mention that u look really hot...lol

[wheyday]

one of the best lessons I have seen! Thank you so much for taking an educational approach. I learned more than the song when I watched this video (I learned a little guitar theory too). This video has inspired me and taught me a lot in 10 minutes. Thank you thank you thank you

[02942]

I think the original play is easier:-)

BUT THX AGAIN 5STARS

[DRC0214300]

[Strive02]

[Artist4Justice]

you are an AMAZING teacher! Thank you so much!! :)

[BransGuitar]

Hey man, I wanted to say that this is a real good lesson, I like it mostly because you know what you are talking about, and from the looks of it you have the passion there. That's what I appreciate.

[SaYNoINC]

[IBCBogota]

Great Lesson! Thank you!!!

[leosaba2]

thanks to infinity!!

[leosaba2]

thaks to infinity, you're really clear aswell

[iThomos]

Should I mute the E and the A strings when I play the D-shaped chord?

[timbo2098]

so after you do the verse, where do you go from there? there is the bridge and the chorus left and i have no idea which was is best to do it. any ideas?

[muHaHiHo]

great teacher !!!

[mzfanz4lyf]

thanks alot bt i still think i need help with making the particular chord shapes you use

[jarooFLtutor]

I would take lessons from you if I lived in us, good explaining man :) gj and thank you... happy new year in advance :D

[footballfan6345]

hey dude great lesson. i love jack johnson's work. oyur explanation makes this song much easier to learn. you keep the watcher informed on how to play the song. could you post the cords or the tabs for this song or the tabs for the cords? that would make this the ultimate guitar video!!!!

[kentbball]

Are you using a pick to strum? :S

[jeffpunkrock]

gracias amigo!! bye

[joriskalkar]

very nice of you how detailed you teach it.

[changingone77]

How do you do the "chick-a" almost reggae sound with the strumming? Do you catch the strings with the meaty thumb part of your strumming hand? It's driving me crazy. I can't do it.

[guitarocist]

u lift ur fretting hand off of the strings slighlty as u strum down on the chord or strum up and creates the choppy sound.u do it at the end of the chord u play right at the very end and it gets that sound to it its really easy u just need GOOD fret hand strength tho.cus u have to constantly do it everytime u strum a chord in a fourth fourth time sorda feel like 1 lift 2 lift 3 lift.and u strum ur hand just up and down strums while lifting the fretting hand like i mentioned HOPE IT HELPS.

[richelley13]

hahha i know... zero basic cord shapes.

[pirategirl9989]

wow- Im interested in taking guitar lessons now..you're so hot!

[GeneralReburg]

you whore...
