Jack Johnson Video’s

Unread post by HW--1 » Thu Oct 28, 2004 2:20 am

I recently bought the album Brushfire Fairytales and I am awestruck by Jack’s playing, he is amazing!
Does anyone know if there is a ‘dmbtabs’ for Jack Johnson playing? I would love to learn a song like Bubble Toes, Taylor, Rodeo Clowns, and F-Stop Blues but I am hopeless without some video assistance…

I did find a good tab site at: http://www.stanford.edu/~reedg/guitartab.html

i can help you learn most of those via aim if you want to get at me

most of jack's songs are really easy to play actually, you just kind of have to get a feel for it and then you can play a good chunk of them right away

anyway, get at me if you want help
B+P by offer only...thank you

I concur. Jack's style might be a little tough to pick up immediately, but once you have it down, his stuff is easy. If you don't know, or can't play, barre chords, you need to learn that. That's almost all his songs.

Matty, are you planning on having some of the live riffs that he adds to songs on your tab site. I agree that most of his songs are easy but some of his live riffs are picked out and not as easy to play by ear.
If your friend is already dead, and being eaten by vultures, I think it's okay to feed some bits of your friend to one of the vultures, to teach him to do some tricks. But ONLY if you're serious about adopting the vulture.
