Learning 2 guitar songs over the holidays

Posted on Dec 31st, 2009

I signed up for the 3 day trail at Guitar Jamz over the Christmas period to get myself some new songs to practice. The guy that does the videos teaches you a band style rather than a song which works out really well. I have been learning the barenaked ladies and Jack Johnson progressions and really enjoying.

Barenaked ladies Progression

The strumming pattern is dduudu

The chord progression is:

Main part of the song G – D – F+7

Then C – D, then a G walkdown(?)

Jack Johnson Progression

Strumming Pattern dud uu udu

The chords progression is

dud uu udu (G)

dud (C) uu udu(D)

There are some percussive clicks in there somewhere but I still working on getting that bit right.

Protection Racket Acoustic Deluxe

I went out today and got myself a new guitar case. My old case was a flimsy and old. It could not cope with rush hour train trips and people bashing into it. This is the other end of the spectrum, Its like a tank :)
