Jack Johnson Banana Pancakes Guitar Lesson + Tutorial

[@seusnefl1697]

As a beginner I struggled to learn Jack Johnson songs.. his percussion strum patterns can be very difficult to get down. Underrated guitarist in my opinion.

[@olivierbeaulac8948]

And he's singing at the same time!

[@balsamicvinegar7664]

I agree, some of the strums and scratch sort of patterns are hard for me to do but he performs them so well

[@nickh9733]

Yeah he's one of those people that just breathes music. So like while nothing maybe super complex about his stuff the fact he's singing and playing is ridiculous. It's like "do I wanna know" super simple riff but it plays for almost the entire song and he's singing over it while playing. Legit feels like it requires 4000% brainpower to even attempt

[@wittasea]

I don't play guitar. I've never had an urge to play guitar. I just think this guy is super chill so I tend to watch his videos and like them lmao.

[@jwhirl678]

Don't play guitar yet 😜

[@noodle845]

So have you started playing yet? It's fucking addictive

[@wittasea]

@@noodle845 i haven’t. i actually thought about beginning to play just this last weekend. reckon i should?

Bro you might know more abt guitar than any other non guitar play that’s ever existed.

Holy shit Marty you taught me how to play guitar in 5th grade and I’m now a sophomore In college I’m so glad you’re still making videos man you’re the best online instructor ever. Marty man you the goat you made my life so much better by teaching me the guitar

[@aly6807]

Also I just got to say. Editing is so hard. Recording by yourself is hard. Man you high key actually do a lot of behind the scenes work. It took me weeks just to make one video. So thanks for taking all the time it takes to make videos. Truly takes patience and practice! Just like guitar does. You’ve really got to motivation yourself too, and that can prove to be mighty difficult!

[@Boyd1875]

Alyssa Byrd , the video you made for Marty was really cool. Job well done. 👍

[@aly6807]

Boyd aww thanks so much! Sorry you weren’t in it! It was impossible to find fans on here without commenting on it and telling on myself about the vid! I would’ve loved to add more people, I got so many responses! Eventually had to wrap it up! Lol but thanks so much that means a lot! ❤️

Been referencing this video since I started on the acoustic a few weeks ago, and JUST realized how new this vid is. Crazy how right as I get an acoustic and have the desire to learn this incredible song, my guy Marty is right on top of it. You're a real inspiration bro, love your tutorials and especially your infectious attitude!

[@dippy3320]

I’m curious now if you are still playing. Can you play this song now?

[@SubOxyde]

actually nah I quit playing unfortunately, life kinda got in the way 😵. It's cool tho! Just dusted off the acoustic and picked it back up a couple weeks ago. 🎉

[@CareyNashCanada]

thank you. I'm only a week in and truly a beginner and getting the opening riff made me smile!

How is your playing now?

[@kipwilliamson5737]

@@braxtonbarnhill6817 you look up the exact chord he says on google and bam, if it’s a different voicing it’s pretty easy to search for a minute and find the right one. The chords are all fairly simple unless you haven’t learned some barre chord shapes.

[@timoconnell5804]

ok this guy again. I've literally looked for tabs/tutorials for like 5 or 6 songs by Jack Johnson and Taylor Swift and this guy's done tutorials on them all. Take my like and sub good sir.

[@NotQuiteJackWhite]

"Banana Pancakes" is one of my favorite acoustic tunes. Delicious breakfast to make in self-isolation too. Great lesson Marty! He's inspired me to create my own channel, check it out for more guitar lessons. Thanks for your support everyone!

[@NotQuiteJackWhite]

Nice! Thanks so much for the love Marty! Any chance you can do "Invincible" by The Damned Things next? I've been thinking about figuring that one out myself...

[@iTheCharrua]

just subscribed to you! keep up the good work

[@prestonmorris1399]

More jack Johnson!

[@GiftsofMusicNW]

Love your videos Marty. Also love your story. I was also a teacher who left public schools to teach privately, and make KZbin instructional videos. You are set such a good example! Congrats on your success.

[@Zackfish]

First guitar I’ve ever had! Still come back for the best lessons! Thx!!

[@chris_puckett]

Who's still here in 2024? Haha! Sometimes I like to play an A7 instead of Amin7 in the chorus! Adds this different thing to it 😁 That passing chord in the bridge is still Emin but with a D# in the bass! It's a little stretch but it sounds good if you can get the shape, as opposed to just playing the bass note. Thanks for the upload u rock bro!

[@3h127]

Yes!!! You answered my request!!!

[@McDGuitars]

Marty it has been amazing to watch you grow in stature over the years. We have learned a lot from you. Much thanks and love to you from all of us.

Can someone give any tips or suggestions for the part after 5:00? I'm trying to rest my fingers on the string, but it doesn't sound the same. Also do you mute the sound while barring?

The d7 doesn’t sound the same for me but the c7 does

[@learningguitarforchicks]

Didn’t think I’d be able to learn this but I got the first part down pretty well after a couple weeks

[@Joey-jq2ti]

Past few minutes I’ve been practicing barre chords for this song. Didn’t realize I had to go a whole space over and my chubby fingers aren’t used to being that far apart lol. Sometimes I hit it right other times I can’t. But I got the second barre down its just the first one that gets me.

which is more important, hand/finger strength and dexterity, or large hand/long fingers? can a player with small hands/short fingers compensate satisfactorily and still play competently?

[@rhett_morton7684]

how does he do that little strum at 6:15?

[@LucaMartin-x6f]

Just a down strum then mute (let go) and the strum down again and let it ring
