Hey lords and lasses! On Weekend Wankshop 96, Uncle Ben here is gonna learn you good on how to play the intro to My Name is Jonas by Weezer, from one of the best records EVER, the blue album! That record is full of some of my favorite songs ever. Totally magic, that's one of those records that was huge for me when i was a kid, and i've never really stopped listening to it since then!
The intro riff of this song is great to learn how to fingerpick on, or a great exercise for your picking skills! On the record its definitely finger style, but live they pick it.
Hope you all enjoy this one! Next week is the first week of the Halloween season, so prepare yourself for another month of lessons on how to play some scary movie classic theme songs!!!

Yes, but you must say "my name is Eric" instead of Jonas

Great video! But fuuuuuuck it's hard to get up to full speed.

I learned this a while ago but it's always nice to go back to it for more practice. I actually find the alternate picking style to be easier for me. Thanks!

alternate picking this is a gateway to becoming a beast mode crosspicker!

I love the intro to this song so much... And it is pretty tricky to play with a pick at full speed. Next to picking it your way, I also learned to play it with downstrokes only up to full speed just for fun... That is also hard as balls.

night and day difference between finger and plectrum. this inspired me to write something using both simultaneously!

One of the THOUSAND reasons this is such a great channel is that while Eller often has a unique take on the common (Still of the Night, and all of its interesting little things you never knew) he'll also take something a bit obscure like this one and share it. KICKASS work as always....

So when you do skype lessons, how do you do them necessarily? do you figure out what skill they have and proceed from there or do you figure out what they know and teach new things? haha sorry! but ive been thinking about it!

Maybe a weird question Ben, but do you have something under your right foot to have your guitar a bit higher? I have trouble finding a good posture playing guitar (a Les Paul) whilst sitting. When I sit with my guitar i'm forward bend and get back and neckpain. I was adviced to use a foot stool but apparently this causes backpain on longterm too? Thanks alot for the help!

Personally, I usually play guitar in the classical position, but on the odd occasion that I don't, I always just cross my right leg over my left leg and elevate my guitar that way

@1981SG 7 жыл бұрын

i tried crossing my legs but then i have less grip on my guitar. Also my right calves start to hurt then. I quess i'm a freak of nature then? :)

Biological Stepdad Eller, I realized I'm basically awful at pull offs and I'm pretty sure I've been playing them fundamentally wrong ever since I started playing guitar. I can get simple ones down like a basic fret five to fret seven pull, but things like triplets and chromatic pulls are impossible for me. Please help quickly, I tried to play the bridgey part to "A Song For The Deaf" and my neighbor scalped himself. Love, you're not my real dad but you're good at guitar so I accept you
