Constellations Jack Johnson

[theawesomeness2the13]

I have a very serious question and want an answer. I have listened to to over 30 covers of this song and everyone adds an extra three notes to the intro! Why? Have they listened to the actual song and told themselves that it is completely wrong!?

[DieButtermilch]

beautiful :) Enjoyed listening to you!

[jeremy41234]

Crazy good.

[blazelova1212]

this is an AMAZING cover

[deonneharborne]

[abuudha1]

[fenderjam317]

dude could you possible get a lesson up here or somethng this is the one jack song that just kills me and you kicked its ass

[rsantos1989]

@fenderjam317 i agree with this man! a tutorial would be sufficient.

[flaerlage]

nice dude!

[mikidou99]

If I could resume in one word : That was perfect :)

Thanks for sharing!

[laurenjones28]

where did you learn this?? its like impossible! i hate how all of his songs are so amazing but they are so hard to play!! altogether, its amazing n_n

[DannieForza]

great

[joaomuraro]

it's times like theese that i give up on trying to play my guitar

[phileose]

@joaomuraro LOL! I completely know what u mean

[forum157sf]

this is exactly how jack plays it, great job!

[supraguitargoalie]

this is very very good.

[Fantel3]

CGDGBD tuning, capo 1

[LifesATrip01]

Best Cover by far. So smooth

[joeyjr858]

best cover version on YT...

Mahalo for posting!

[ktex7283]

excellent work my friend!!

[hansonbravo]

awesome man !!!!!

[frenchydany]

very good job!

[SMOORE180]

Does anyone know where to find tabs in standard tuning for this song?

i have the JJ book but i want to play this anywhere and tuning is just a hassle

[90mariacruz]

how long have you been playing guitar for?

[tokeiihto81]

hi adam you play it very well, and to the folks who are looking for tabs... It's a question of tuning.

Google "constellations g-tuning" and you will know what I mean. It's still not easy but in any case playable.

[aschlauf]

And it is in the official JJ book. That is were I learned to play this and has better chords than any tabs online.

[Fettecheney]

Thanks so much, I was having troubles finishing the song. Keep playing jack, you've got the gene.

[fearlesshawaiian11]

this is hawaiian slack key 'ki ho 'alu'

great job!

[butlerdawgs78]

you didn't happen to tab this song did you?

[butlerdawgs78]

just scrolled down.. In between Dreams official JJ book, got it lol.... excellent job man

[welcometoheartbreak]

this is pretty much better than jack himself, good job!

[SoulFly441]

hey if you could find some spare time to make a tab or make a tutorial for this that would be bamf

[Aerrllanggaaa]

how about a tutorial!, im dying to learn this song <3

[mechalica]

:O

this is insane! u make it look so easy  ):

[FurtherDownTheRiver7]

hell ya reppin the takamine guitar. very nice cover. like haycaramba11 said, its the best cover on here

[thefailsafe4]

very good my man. that is such a hard song and you nailed it to the T. jack is the man for comin up with those riffs

[Haycaramba11]

It is simply the best cover online..I m actually learning that song which is one of the best of Jack...but I d like to play it as you do Bro!!!!!

Keep On Rocking dude..at least for us ;)

[Botjer12]

that shits real good.

Can i get a tab or a link to one or something?

[Haycaramba11]

Dude , you r awesome!!!!

[PaulRodgers2]

what shape is he using to do the beggining of the solo i noticed its like he holds the shape of a chord instead of picking and sliding the notes individually..

Does anyone know?? im having trouble learning the solo...

[chuckben1995]

wow =)

[JeremyMoar]

amazing job !

[jessicaanimal]

do you use every finger but your pinky?

[RightOnAndFarOut]

that's incredible. Until seeing this video I thought for sure that Jack Johnson used a second guitar to play the rhythm and continue playing the intro melody. Wow. Great

[JoeJPN1]

nice work man! for real...flawless cover. ive learned alot on this tune by watching your technique. it seems that careful timing of the alternating bass and strumming in tempo is very important here.....now to just tackle the solo! again man...nice work.

[subzeroschneider]

awesome! but no way better than jack. please where did you learn the intro? my bro can play it and hes always showing off xD although he has been playing for nearly 10 years......

[Jdrew804]

better than Jack..No joke...saw him live

FANTASTIC JOB

[HighHeadJim]

Better than Jack? You're kidding, right?

[aschlauf]

Hi Thanks for the comment. I saw Jack live also and I will never claim to be better than him. He wrote the song and can sing much better than I. :) Thanks again for the comment.

[airbornegasguy]

You've inspired me to learn this one. That, and you've basically shown me the way as well. Wicked job on the solo dude.

[Tjz93]

Im mad jealous

[dunn4040]

Absolutely fantastic playing!!!! Great job man.

[ctws2]

its a cryin shame that i can only rate this 5 stars considering some of those other clowns who tried this song got like 4.5 stars. this is way more than 0.5 stars better than any of the others on youtube

[lizfersher]

beautiful (:

[rewbey]

that was brilliant.thot it ought to be open tuning. small (probably stupid) question, the tuning is C-G-D-G-B-D yes? and its capo 1?

saying you dont own a capo would it be safe to say you could use the tuning C#-G#(Ab)-D#(Eb)-G#-C-D#?

[aschlauf]

Yea thats the right tuning.  I don't know about the alternate tuning. If it sounds right then use it :)

[rewbey]

does the jj book tell you tabs? what is the name of the official book?

[aschlauf]

Yea, that is where I got the tabs. The name of the book is the name of the CD, In Between Dreams. What I am playing in this video is from the book. Good luck.

[rewbey]

thanks, i just ordered it, plus your vid should help too!! cheers!!

[thefluff1]

Amazing cover dude, did you re-tune the guitar the same as in the book cos it just sounds wrong when I tune it down. If so are all the strings with different tunings tuned down?? Cheers

[aschlauf]

Same tuning as the book. Don't forget the capo on the first fret.

[aschlauf]

Sorry, didn't get the question at first. :) Yea, all the different tuning and down from standard the 6th E being the furthest down to C.

[TommoTorpy]

This is by far the best on youtube so far... pity its not the best quality Vid though... oh well... Well done! Congratulations!

[soccercraze7]

One of the best covers of Jack Johnson. Awsome Job!

[NicholasJB17]

This is the best cover of this song on Utube! Well done.

[Lewylewyloo]

:) i play almost that good =D

[surfmaster999]

can you send me the right tunning and tabs for this song thanks

[mrJoeysph]

Ace cover infac brill cover!

[rbacon42]

I can play the intro but I can't find tabs for the Chords anywhere, know of any you could send me? Thanks.

[ucfjwh]

Did you switch out the low E string? When I tune it up to C it is so tight that I doesnt ring out at all up on the 5th fret? Thanks. The JJ book is perfect for learning this and this video helps a ton.

[sausband]

Go down to C, not up. That should leave you with a slack low E, not tight.

[chapulim007]

22 year old female wanting to play with a bad? boy msn me or profile T

[lau65]

OMG..This cover is : p-e-r-f-e-c-t..I want to make it exactly like that with my guitar! I hope that the tab I found is the same as yours!

[cwish23]

[carinabh]

great and beautiful seriously :') it's my favourite jack johnson's song and you almost made me cry with this interpretation :') good work really. kiss*

[walrus321]

I love it. Very good work here.

[Aresend]

omg man..this is awesome bro. Erm...can i request a tutorial on this song? this is an awesome song and i hope i can play it as well as you

[SouthJaxon]

Man ive gone on a learning jack johnson songs rampage, and i keep coming back to all your videos to make sure im playing them right. Your talented man, and its nice to see you have every song down practically perfect before you post it.

[umaa2010]

very nice my friend im learnin this right now i have the intro but the bridge is kinda tough

[xXTaintedSoulXx]

Awesome guitaring, not to mention not bad voice dude. I give kudos to you.  It's hard to beat Jack Johnson's beautiful guitaring.

[markyj9361]

whats the tuning?

[aschlauf]

C-G-D-G-B-D from low to high with capo on the 1st fret.

[martingio]

tabbs??? jaja

[aschlauf]

I got them in the official book dude.  Nothing comes close online. This is a different name but I am the one playing in this video. Thanks for your view and appreciation.

[DavidLinebacker]

Well done mate!

[aschlauf]

I got the tabs for this from the official book.

[Bluewavec2004]

Very, very good buddy.

[crazygeetarplaya]

great job man!

where did you get the music for it?

if you could tell me that would be great!

[iGusBus]

very nice!

[StringBeens]

oh and of course amazing job

[StringBeens]

like everyone else says

tabs?

[lvessels7]

hahaha very good but you look like will ferrell so this is veryy funny

[Nouge1]

that was spot on mate

couldnt have played it more perfect!!!

jack would certainly be proud!!!

[xfanjayax3]

wow your really good!

[gingerusmaximus]

yo man, brilliantly played, do u rekon u can send me the tabs 4 the solo because i know the rest but the solo puzzles me!! cheers man

[risingsunkid]

deff. the best cover of this song ive seen on here yet. good techinque, if i can play it this good ill post a video! good job

[Satyros1]

Jack Johnson plays it in CGDGBD.

But it is also playable in standart tuning (half step down)

if someone like the tabs, pls contact me for email

[skybld]

odd tuning, i found this really hard to play, and it didn't sound anywhere near as good as your cover

FANTASTIC job!

[chicken4203]

oh such a beautiful song

[eldadmi]

Beautiful!

[MOLLii3x]

This is awesome. x]

It must have taken ages to get right.

Nice job. ;]

[BrinaSpaz]

i like it. must have wasted a ton of tame practicing, was it worth it?

[Swamy456]

Yeah I bet it was worth it. You don't know what music might mean to that man. It might be his reason for existing. Anyway I bet you did something a lot more useless like watching TV so don't be a hypocrite.

[Bulpittson]

jack may play it in a different tuning or wateva, but you have every single note perfect haha, nice one braaaa

i trustttttt you figured it all yourself?

tab it, sent it, trustttttttt

x

[Stumoo]

I would be willing to sit under a Kamani tree and practice this song forever until I could play it that well.

Fantastic

[hitandjog]

is this is standard tuning? if not please tell me which tuning its in

[Stumoo]

search back through the comments, it's all there

[aschlauf]

The tuning is, from low to high, C-G-D-G-B-D.

[BarbarianAsh]

Incredibly beautiful, it's maybe better than jack's version. Great! :)

[mikb22]

reall good im tryin to learn the song too but you just put me to shame, good job dude

[m0lecule]

tabs!!

[Hilicto]

Well played, ure a good singer aswell.

[cosam76]

Great Performance~~TABs~~~~~~ HELP~~~~~

[aschlauf]

These tabs are in the official book. Nothing comes close on the internet.

[slowhand222]

This is one of the harder JJ songs to play. You nailed it. Nicely done.

[tourdefrance]

really good, man.

[TravisABrenneman]

tabbsss plz

[weejasper]

hey how ya doin it's me again.. Ive learned this now and I'd be glad to see what you think of it..just click on me name you know the rest.

[europe360]

Excellent... can you send me the tab you used?

[joaopapas]

hey can u send me the tab u used? i dont guess its like the ones i found on the net...

[aschlauf]

I used the tabs from the ofiicial J.J. book. So far I have not seen any tabs on the net that come close.

[weejasper]

it was me that gave this 5 stars. cause you deserve it.Ive been learning this in the same tunin and I know how difficult it is.. I've only got one guitar and it's a pain.. anyhow thanks for the visual on the interlude. gonna work the rest out now.. cheers

[antianthem]

perfection...

[00020]

this is so amazing man, i really wanna learn this one, but i dont know how to tune the e into d etc?? any help?

[smile4awhile12]

WOW your really good, most people cant sing and play the whole song at the same time and acctually have it be good but you did! way to go! keep playing!

[acousticriff]

wow, i honestly believe that every piece of the song was perfectly played...very very good

[byndthethrshhld]

hey i just the JJ book,and this is really one of the only ones that im having a hard time with.did it take you awhile to figure out?

[aschlauf]

Hi. It took me about a week to get the parts figured out and then a good month and a half to feel good playing it. No real suggestions, just keep practicing, you'll get it.

[Beluargentinaaa]

you are really good singing and playing the guitar...i was looking for jack johnson and i found you, now i am your fan from argentina, bye

[cmiller15]

wow ur guitaring is really good, any chance i can get a tab of it?

[aschlauf]

The tab is from the official JJ tab book but I do not have a copy of it on my computer. Just look for the book and thanks for the comment.

[rodaguitar]

hey really good job,

please can you tell me how to tunin the guitar to play this song?

[aschlauf]

Sure. The tuning is (low to high)C-G-D-G-B-D. Good luck.

[Heavok]

Nearly perfect....pay attention to the triplets in the interlude...well done

How long do you already play the guitar?

[aschlauf]

I have been playing five years. Are you telling me the triplets are well done or they need work?

Thanks for you comment.

[Heavok]

Yes, the triplets in the interlude need work. I'd count the eighth notes over the eight bars to work out the triplets in bar 3,4 and 6. I suppose you've got the original songbook...should be no problem ;) keep it up

[BrendanForward]

Does anyone know where I can find a good tab for this song it's a song I really enjoy and I am having difficulty figuring out the picking to the intro. Anyone who knows a good spot let me know

Thanks

[33Hockeyplayer33]

nice work man, thats fantastic guitar

[messedupteeph]

The vocals could use a tad bit of work, but the guitar work is flawless. Very Very good.

[aschlauf]

Hey, what could my vocals use? Be honest.

Adam

[Ehsion]

Hey, I dunno where u got the tab for this, but its great and flawless... im jealous. Your voice sounds pretty good but I think your trying to sound like Jack too much, I do that too :P. And you seem to be uncomfortable singing in a lower key then what you really are natural to. Try mentally just singing in your own key =) and Im sure it will be great. Please if you have your tab, send it to me. Your version is perfect.

[aschlauf]

The only tab I used was from the official "In Between Dreams" music book. I have never looked for a good tab online. Thanks for the advice on singing, I'm still trying to work on it and find my voice.

[timothy236]

One of my favorite songs, very well played, damn going to have learn how to play it now!

[phrequency]

wow, that is so perfect.. awesome job

[mcca7400]

man, that is really excellently done...

[aschlauf]

Thanks everyone. Thanks for watching

[Geauxtygas73]

that was awesome man, very good guitar skills

[vanscolina]

thats really good

[roylerroycerickson]

nice i think i will have to learn that

[ajh31890]

ok sweet thanks man, good playing keep up the good work

[ajh31890]

where do you get that songbook and is it tabs or musical notation?

[thipp02]

guitar center has it and it is tabs and music

[riverdragon444]

I just got the In Between Dreams book...did you have a hard time playing this too? Lol, the fingerings can be tricky, and the rythyms while singing are quite difficult for a guy who doesnt sing and play at the same time alot. You see, i'm a metal player who's been getting into JJ and other acoustic rock alot. If you could give me any tips, it would be appreciated

[Caseman33]

I tabbed it out on Ultimate-guitar.com.

Search Constellation with no s.

I named it wrong, but the tab is good.

[aschlauf]

Hi, this is Adam. The tabs I used are from the official JJ songbook.

[joaonader]

just like the real jack johnson!!! eheheheh

teach me that!!!

[caiokylecaio]

can i have that tab?

[geoff123]

Not bad!

[SteveFu]

wow, dam good
