Considering I’ve never actually learnt the chord shapes while playing guitar (I’m one of the people on the (rather smaller) side of learning finger plucking for about 10 years now) and anything I find on the internet never seems to sound the same (actually the E is ok, but then sounds completely different with the pinky on the third fret of the G string).

Actually testing that last point, the pinky on the second fret of the G sounds fine, I’ll continue to bash through, see if I can get it to sound anything like. If worst comes to worst, I’ll probabbly just get bored and start finger plucking the main melody…

That looks like a lot of work. Are there any vids showing us how to play JoCo songs on Guitar Hero?

I’m stealing my dad’s guitar! (well, I don’t know if he still has it… he doesn’t play it anyways)

Thanks for posting that info; I’d have probably never found it myself (or at least not this early)

Keep on rocking!

Regards,
Frank

You’re my procrastination hero.

I may just have to go borrow one of my girlfriend’s guitars and learn to play it now…

Oh if only I didn’t resist that B7 chord (somehow my fingers just don’t like it) I’d be playing this one more like you do.
DDR? wha? I used to play DDR… what does.. wha.. {brain meltdown}

I think Dave should have played the song and then played and sung so that we could hear how it sounds with the lyrics. Or, maybe I just want to hear him sing, because he’s a good singer. As long as he doesn’t lose his voice like ALWAYS.

Justin: Did I hear “fan-based supergroup”?

That’s awesome, Dave. Thanks for putting it up.

Just a thought that floated through my brain while I was listening to Dave strum: there’s this great community around making stuff with JoCo’s songs. I’d love to see a bunch of single-instrument tracks that we could throw into GarageBand (etc.) and have a go at some renditions. We could bring in Dave’s guitar, Molly or Kristen’s uke, vocals and drums from others, and end up with a fan-based supergroup.

That’s my attempt at creativity for the evening. It’s all I’ve got for now.

Hey, shoutout for Dave! Awesome stuff and keep it up.

Also awesome source material, naturally. Thanks for the music, Jonathan.

Heeey, I know that guy!
Well, kinda. I met him once.
Aah, the network of JoCo fans is like one big happy family.

You know, Jonathan, that if you can be replaced, I know a computer at Aperture Science who would love the job….

Thanks everyone! I hope that I can show you all the inner most secrets of the guitar, or at least all the JoCo songs you want to know. I’ll probably have a poll again on the forum for the song I’m going to do after Future Soon. Thanks again for the support and such. See you on the internet!

Well, this is definitely the swift kick I need to learn how to finally play that guitar I have sitting in my closet. I will definitely subscribe to that channel.

Makes me think I should pick up my guitar and actually learn to play this time.
