Hi Everyone,
Today's Target and Pay Per Lesson release is now live.
Jake Bugg is a very young and promising singer-songwriter from the UK. He has already released two albums and is hailed as the ‘precocious talent fusing retro folk with blistering contemporary rock riffs.
The heartbreaking ‘Broken’ is the seventh track from his self-titled debut album. It features a rolling arpeggio finger picking pattern with the bass notes on beat 1, the and of beat 2 and beat 4. Even though it uses only the I IV V and VI in the key of G, it consists of several chord shapes, including a couple of very nice voicings higher up the neck.
There is also a segment in which I talk about the lyrics and what happens in the song dynamically.
Enjoy this level 4 lesson!

Hey Vanessa,
Thanks VERY much for this lesson. Any Jake Bugg lesson will definitely get my attention. I guess that I've been "bitten by THE BUGG"
I started out watching your left and right-hand segments, but then just had to jump to the final "Putting it all Together" segment.
So now I'm a melted puddle ... you perform this beautiful, emotional song so ... so ...
Cripes, even the heavens got emotional ! You didn't even seem to blink ... guess you're used to starting the rain every now and then ?
Lovely !
Pierre
[EDIT] I have to add that I know that your playing can also bring out the sunshine too (just not so noisy)

Was just listening to Mr. Bugg with my daughter in the car tonight!
Looking forward to watching your take on this song, Vanessa.

GOSH! That was just SO.... beautiful. Your playing in this is SO sensitive. I just love the expression you out into it, like the changes in dynamics and subtle changes in tempo (I think) too. Your singing... It may be lower than you normally sing in parts, but it's really gorgeous and heartfelt too.
You're hit another...hit. it's a deeply emotional and beautiful song. I do love the finger pickers.
BTW - there's a short article about him in Rolling Stone magazine this month and a review of his latest album Shangri La. It never rains but it pours.
Oh and there's a BEAUTIFUL photo of Elvis at 21 reading fan mail. Just gorgeous.
Thanks for another great lesson sweet woman. I just love everything you're bringing us and your teaching style. I LOVE your work.

Talented kid. I liked the song and the lesson as well. I agree that the fingerpicking pattern is a good one to have in one's arsenal. The chord voicings is another great reason to watch this lesson.
As an side, Vanessa, do you listen to Brandi Carlile? I've enjoyed her music for several years now. I think you'd like her. I know Michele does.
Thanks for the lesson.

Pierre: Haha!! :laugh: I just love how you always manage to make your point Pierre! I had no idea you really dig JB (I had no idea if anyone would at all! :dry: ) I was already relieved reading Kenny´s comment and then yours.....gosh....!! :cheer: :cheer: Rain, sunshine, rain, haha, you´re too sweet! But I´m telling you, it was really STORMING that day, major damage all over the country, it was scary to go outside, but it kinda accompanied the song a bit Thanks Pierre, really appreciate it!
AcousticAl: Aaah what a coincedence! Really hope you´ll enjoy the lesson Al, thanks for checking in!
Michele: Ooooooohw you´re too sweet too!!!! :cheer: Yeah, I love fingerpickers too! And I really like this song, love the changes in dynamics and he sings it really intense. Did find the Rolling Stone-article, he´s doing well apparently, cool for him!

Jayswett: Couldn´t agree more Jay, the picking pattern and voicings, i really like those. Very glad to hear you liked the song and lesson as well. Brandi Carlile, I do know her, Michele did a song once, but I don´t know her work. could you name a few songs in particular? Thanks Jay!

I hadn't heard of Jake Bugg, what a great song.
It takes you to put together this great lesson for us.
Nice play through and sing too
My biggest downfall learning guitar now is greed !
Confession - I need to focus more on each song, it's which songs though, I no longer know what I favour !!! :laugh: :laugh: :woohoo: :woohoo:
There are so many great lessons, I'm taking on too many and not spending long enough on any,
which I think ( :dry: too much) hinders my progress!
Lots of questions for you :S
What James Taylor songs were you refering to that use the arpeggio in this song?
Can you suggest any songs not mentioned in the lesson?
Do you know what guitar Jake Bugg used in the two videos?
It has a great sound to it.
Thanks
Dermot
