If you're learning guitar JJ is sweet stuff to practice.

He uses standard barre chords and the most intricate stuff I've seen by him his some hammer on's and pull off's and a little slide action here and there.

Flake is a good song to learn.

My favorite is actually a cover, High Tide or Low Tide w/Ben Harper.

Check it out mon.

He uses the same strumming pattern in a lot of his songs though. Flake, Middle Man, and Mudfootball all have it.

play around with these chords: D,F,A,F for the verse and C,F,C,D,A,Bb for the chorus and just F for the end part. play around with these and you should be able to figure it out from there
