Hi Everyone,
Today's Target and Pay Per Lesson release is now live.
Back To The Earth’ is a very fun and cheery song to play and is taken from singer-songwriter Jason Mraz’ new album ‘YES’, which will be released in July 2014.
It features a very easy progression in the key of G and a simple strumming pattern in swing time. The lesson covers both the ukelele part, performed by multi instrumentalist Chaska Potter, and Jason’s part. The latter is harder to play since he uses barre chords from the E and A families only. We take a look at a few details of his playing as well, which involves strumming, plucking and muting the strings.
The lesson also shows how to play the song in the key of C, where the guitar is capoed on the 7th fret, for the ones who don’t have a ukelele and are not ready for barre chords just yet.
Enjoy this level 3 lesson!

What a FANTASTIC way to start my morning. du du du du du du du Du Du!
I LOVE seeing and hearing you on that sweet little uke. Fun, fun, fun!!!
I LOVE this song and I sure will be getting it down. So cheery, so much fun and such great messages too.
Geeesh Nessa, if you want to top this trick (teaching it before he's even released the album), you might just need to join Jason and Raining Jane and start writing songs with them. now THAT I'd LOVE to see.
I think the mystery word is dizzy.
Du du du du du du du Du Du!

TGNessa,
I just watched all of the lesson during my lunch break, except the C segment. It's very easy to follow and has just the right level of detail as always.
Your enthusiasm is contagious. Now I definitely want to go home and pick up my ukulele. Du du du du du du du Du DU.
Thanks!

Now thát started my morning smiling as well!! :cheer: :cheer:
The uke is absolutely fun to play here and there, you gotta get yours out too!!
What I love about JM and Raining Jane is that they are true musicians, in every way. They just love what they do and that's how they put together this new album, which wasn't particularly about 'recording a new album'. They enjoy spending time with each other and play music, write songs and at one point, 'hey a new album has born'!
'Dizzy', haha, got it! :laugh:
Thanks so much sweet friend, always LOVE to read your never ending enthusiastic comments!

Hi Dean,
Well I have yes.......but íf they'd ever appear at all, it would be 'busking' or something. :laugh: I did once upload (for review) 'noodling in dropped D', which I've actually tried to work out recently, as in adding instruments, except....the recording didn't work out (no proper equipment), I hate tech, so I let it be. :S
how bout you? Ever written anything? If so, any chance of sharing it?

Nice work Vanessa as ever.
A quick question: have you written anything of your own and if so, will it make an appearance in the lesson list??
