Hi Everyone,
Today's Target and Pay Per Lesson release is now live.
Love Someone is the first track and the first official single of Jason Mraz’ new fifth album called ‘Yes’. It features a very easy progression, using the I, IV, V and VI in the key of D, in Dropped D-tuning.
In the lesson we mostly take a close look at the strumming hand, since Jason Mraz uses a few different techniques. It involves a very catchy and cool fingerpicking percussive sounding intro, which is the main pattern throughout the song.
It also includes a couple of subtle hammer-ons and dampening the strings. Other than that, fingerpicking combined with strumming or occasionally strumming is in there too. The student needs to be able to switch back and forth between one and the other.
Enjoy this level 4 lesson!

TGNessa,
I LOVE, LOVE! your play through on this. You are so COOOOOOL! The groove you've captured in this is just wonderful. I suspect JM would have a big smile on his face if he watched it. You've REALLY got the feel happening. I love it! And your singing is juuuuuust beautiful, so heartfelt and gorgeous.
I watched the first few segments too. The right-hand one is a doozy. I'm going to really need to work on the muting, slapping, picking stuff that you're showing in there. I'm probably going to need to watch it a few times, it's so packed with info. That's likely to be my initial focus as you suggest.
Really cool techniques. Really cool sound. Really cool song!
Love it!
Thanks Nessa!
