"Times Like These"
I'm busy today! Target members will notice I'm wearing the same clothes as my Student Review upload
This is another song that has haunted me for a few days now. Really fun to play- when I can make it through without making a mistake!
Tough strumming pattern to keep going- especially with the phrasing/lyrics.
Hope you like..
***BTW- There's LOTS of techniques in Jack Johnson songs that would lend themselves to Target lessons.. don'tcha think??

Nice string muting Al and excellent mix on vocals. Top job!
Very good job. Don't you hate it when the artist makes it seem SO easy (until you try to play it yourself)? It sounds like a really simple song...but obviously the timing/phrasing is really tricky. I could never attempt a song like that. Actually, the more I think about it you did a great job! And great double tracking job on the vocals.

Chris- Thanks for popping by and for the comments.
Bob- Very cool is a great way to describe this song- and MANY of JJ's songs. He is big on the percussive strum, so I really worked on that in particular.
Daryl- YES! I do hate that. I can't describe how deceivingly difficult this song is. The strumming isn't too bad if that's all you're doing. But then adding vocals that don't go with the strumming is the killer. The fact that it's slow really helps though.
Btw- I don't know why you say you couldn't attempt this song. You're a very good player.

Tom- thanks. Glad you enjoyed it. The singing/phrasing wasn't exact, but I'm happy with it.
Craig- thanks as well. As I wrote earlier, the strumming isn't bad if that's all you have to concentrate on. It's nothing that playing it 500 times didn't solve. :S

I guess what I meant was that I would never attempt to play AND sing this song. VERY difficult timing and phrasing. I think I could get the strumming down OK but to add the singing on top is almost like playing two songs at once! :blink:Chris- Thanks for popping by and for the comments.
