Jack Johnson - Flake

20111108: [20111109] It's been a while since I've attempted this song. I remember when I had trouble with the barred chords. Now it's a matter of memorizing the lyrics. Without memorizing the lyrics, I occasionally lose track of the position of the chords. Otherwise, it's rather straightforward. I: Dm F Bb F I': Same as I but play each chord once. II: Dm F Bb C III: F C Dm A Bb C F C Intro: I I Verse: I I I II Chors: III III Verse: I' I' I II Chors: III III http://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/j/jack_johnson/flake_ver4_crd.htm I can also practice the following strumming: D _ U D{palmhits} [U U U D U] [20111110] I've been practicing the strumming pattern. Today I started with the progression of the verse. Then the progression for the chorus. After practicing it a while I just focused on the lyrics. Then I tried to put it together.

20160127: It's been a long time since I first looked at this song and I've learned many things since that time. Looking at the tab below, I'd start by just practicing the following chord progression: C, C, G, G, F, F, C, G. It is sufficient to strum and sing along with these chords. Then a simple finger-picking patter can spruce it up and a provides a good opportunity to practice timing the vocals. Finally, before playing the song as tabbed below, I'd start with the following simplification: C e|-------0---------|------[-]--------| B|-1-------------1-|-------1-------1-| G|---0-------0-----|---0-------0-----| D|-----2-------2---|-----2-------2---| A|-3-------3-------|-3-------3-------| E|-----------------|-----------------| _| 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + | 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + | G e|-------3---------|------[-]--------| B|-0-------------0-|-------0-------0-| G|---0-------0-----|---0-------0-----| D|-----0-------0---|-----0-------0---| A|-----------------|-----------
