Jack Johnson TUTORIAL - Banana Pancakes, Angel, Better Together

Top three songs you all have requested a tutorial for, so here you go. I apologize in advance, but I'm not the greatest instructor and I often confuse the names of chords as I learn much by ear/sight.

I did not walk through each tab/chord progression individually, however, I have posted the tabs below here for each song. For chord reference, www.chordfind.com is a great resource. Hope this helps! Bradly

Chords per song:

Banana Pancakes (BARRE CHORDS): G, D7, Am, C7, D, Bm, Em, C

Angel: E barre, drop pointer down to 6th fret "A" string, C#m7, A, F#/Gbm (244222), B

Better Together: E barre, drop pointer finger down to 6th fret "A" string, C#/Dbm (X46654), B, A barre, drop pointer finger down to 4th fret "E" string, F#/Gbm (244222), B (799877)

[bradintampa]

[TheJACKJohnsonFAN]

[bradintampa]

@TheJACKJohnsonFAN Jail or not, It's an apartment. Where is the confusion here??

[spidysuit92]

how long have you been playing??

[bradintampa]

4 years or so...

[Damhagor]

man, you could make a weapon out of that guitar and make it out of there!

[alexxela1404]

hello a can you give a link for a tab for angel please?

[TheSaJeGe]

how about you guys stop worrying about where he is and start worrying about the music hes trying to teach you.the real reason behind the video

[nietyrp]

@TheJACKJohnsonFAN Where in the world can you find prison cell with Internet connection, computer, microphone and a guitar? I'm asking because I'm ready to commit a crime to be in such place;)

[NootykiD]

thanx man.. awesome tutorial...

[moodswings41]

This guy might not be in prison, but he acts like he'd rather be in prison than teaching this song.

Hey , just wanted to say been listening to ya for a while now. Very accomplished and great vocals. I enjoy your playing , thanks for sharing. Greg

how do you do that thumb fill thing? The mics in the way and I want to know.. Do you pick using your thumb on the down strum? When I listen to the original song I hear a lot of picking fill the space between the strums too, how do you do that?

[THEhooligan6911]

@bradintampa people thing your i jail because your bedreeom looks really standard, minimalist, and white.......just like a jail cell room

[grpowell]

@sorenpt I'm not sure what you mean, but when you hear 2 bass notes followed by the chord, it's usually the index finger picking the 2nd lowest note of the chord, then the thumb picking the lowest, then the full strum. I see Jack Johnson doing that on a lot of his songs during live performances.

Correct me if I'm wrong, Bradly.
