Guitar Lesson: How To Play My Name Is Jonas by Weezer

I must admit, I put teaching the guitar parts to Weezer's My Name Is Jonas for this long because I'm afraid of fast plucky parts. Luckily our very own Madame Secretary Pat Prime came to the rescue and kicked me in the pants. Thank you for your help Pat, and I hope you all enjoy this video.

Celebrity guest appearance: Pat Prime! 👍 Great teamwork, guys. Peter Buck would be proud of that stellar arpeggiating.

[@klohr26]

Great minds think alike! I totally flashed to Radio Free Europe during Prime’s time.

What a ride. Blue Album - the one that saved guitar music post Nirvana. Purchased on a sunny August afternoon in 1994 and heavily rotated the following weeks, digging deep into my musical DNA while happily accompanying my freshman procrastination. Thanks again for both - great edutainment and beautiful flahbacks 👓✌

[@RyanLendt]

certainly on the list of perfect albums!

[@boctok55]

Woohoo! I got a mention on a Weezer tune! I guess that means I must learn it.

[@MusicIsLife286]

Can you do Across the sea? That'd be amazing. I really love this song so much but nobody does tutorials on it

All clear, Ryan! This song with the chorus breaks everything!🎸🎸🎸😀

woohoo!

[@kvstrickland]

Both brilliant and baffling.
Pats Rule!!!!

[@patprime7320]

I learned the whole Blue album during the first month of last years lockdown. If I remember correctly I sent several messages to Ryan about the ingenuity in spectacular simplicity this song hides. I could discuss this tune for hours. So much good stuff in it.

[@RyanLendt]

I could discuss it plus one of whatever he says

[@DimeDCSGO]

I dont have a clue what that bell thing was in the beginning but I fuck with it

Pat, nice to put a face to a name!! (great job also) 🤟 It’s a great album opener this one.
Ryan, do you fancy expanding your White Stripes playlist with “Ball and Biscuit”. I listened to it for the first time in years the other day and seems like it would make a great blues masterclass...

[@RyanLendt]

thanks for the idea Chris - good one

Damn! you go too fast for me but it is amazing to watch your videos. without the pause button i dont know what i would do.....Thanks!

[@someguy5035]

Instead of quickly rattling off finger positions and strum patterns, include a simple tab. Spitting out all that in 3 seconds is much harder to emulate than just looking at it.
"Oh, so just a C position and strum .....in succession."

[@jaspersmuck330]

Hey man can you do a tutorial on Lying Season by Alice In Chains, I’m having a hard time learning how to play it

[@RyanLendt]

Yes, I too second the idea that Rivers knows what he’s doing. Great job swimming through this one!

Ryan question.... I’m working barre cords and trying to get better. What is a good song from the 90’s era that is a good barre cord song in your opinion?

[@RyanLendt]

lightning crashes!

[@Sussypx9798yt]

@@RyanLendt that one never even crossed my mind, thanks a million!

[@klohr26]

I have recently become somewhat comfortable switching in and out of barre cords. Ryan’s episode on Alice In Chains - Got Me Wrong is the song that did it for me.

[@Sussypx9798yt]

@@klohr26 I’ll check that out, Alice is my all time fav! I haven’t tackled any of their songs yet bc Jerry is a badass and I’m not up to par with the badassery yet. 🤣
