Lesson A Week 13: I Crush Everything

Whoa, I almost didn't get this posted by the end of the week. It's been a little hectic around here, but I'm glad I still get the lesson up before week's end. I'm running out of hard drive space quickly. I'll probably just buy another one soon, but as usual, I need the money for other things. Either way, this week's lesson is one of the hardest ones yet, but that's mostly because there are just a lot of things to explain. Once you get some of these patterns under your fingers, you'll see that's it's not as hard as it sounds. Next week will be "I'm Your Moon"

Lesson A Week 11: Better

I'm a little pressed for time this week so I apologize for the blurry out of focus stuff. I've got 2 shows with my band the next few days so that's been keeping me busy. Next week I'll be doing I Hate California. Enjoy!

Re Your Brains + Important Technique Lesson

This week you get another double whammy. I've made a video explaining some technique for fingerpicking. This is going to be very important for upcoming videos as many JoCo songs use some things that I explain in this video, so please make sure you give it a watch. Otherwise, enjoy the zombie goodness.

Lesson A Week 9: Code Monkey

It's week 9 at lesson a week! I've survived this far and I hope to continue on as long as my schedule. This week's song is the live version of Code Monkey. Since it's based on a few different performances, some chords or rhythms may vary between versions. Enjoy!

The poll is back so vote for next week's lesson now on the JoCo forums!

Lesson a Week 8: Mandelbrot Set + Paul and Storm Goodie

This week we get mathematical on Lesson a Week! As I'm getting closer to graduating, I'm glad to present a song that has an educational ring to it, but avoids being called "edutainmant" *shudder*. In addition, I decided to do a lesson for one of my favorite Paul and Storm songs "A Better Version of You". If there's enough response I can do more P&S, but at this point, I've got a lot on my plate with the JoCo lessons and the tab editing project. Enjoy!

If Dave Taught Guitar: A Better Version of You


I also want to mention that next week's video for Code Monkey (live version) may be the last video I do for a few weeks because I'll be even busier with graduation and stuff. I'll post a poll when I know my schedule a bit better. I definitely want to continue doing these lessons though, so don't worry about that. :)

Lesson a Week 7: Still Alive (Live Version)

I've got a new lesson for you today for Still Alive, the live version. The one that most people know is direct from Portal, that's not this one. This is just the way JoCo plays the song live. Also, I've been so crunched for time with the whole, graduating from college thing, so I didn't have time to edit out an error I made during the final play-through where I play the Bm chord too early. The verses all have the same number of measures. Sorry for the confusion. As always, drop me a line if you need any clarification.
