new video: "Just the Two of Us" by Bill Withers (Patreon)

{Public post}

Aloha, Patrons!

Happy August!  Excited to share a new video for our Patreon Live Lesson from last month (details below for how to access the full lesson and chord chart).  "Just the Two of Us" is a song that feels good to play, and I'm stoked to share my version with you.  Beginners can play it with just 4 chords, but you know I like to throw in some inversions and give it some extra flavor.  Watch til the end for a Mochi cameo. 😻😻😻

Please take a moment to click through to YouTube, give it a thumbs up, and post a comment - it helps spread the word about my videos. 😊 Thank you!!  And be sure to subscribe if you haven't already.

Turn on the Closed Captions for Play-Along chords and lyrics

For the past few videos, I have added chords and lyrics via Closed Captions, and I think it's working out well.  Click on the CC button along the bottom of the YouTube video, and you can  adjust the way you want to see the captions by clicking on the gear wheel icon > Subtitles/CC English > Options.  Use the same gear wheel icon to control playback speed - such a great tool for practicing along with the video!

Watch the Patreon Live Lesson for "Just the Two of Us"

In our July 2021 All-Levels Live Lesson, we learned the beginner version of "Just the Two of Us" and also an advanced variation.  All Patrons ($1+) can access the recording of the full lesson now: https://bit.ly/JustTwoUkeLesson  You'll also find the chord chart in the lesson post.

Where's the bridge?  For the performance, I decided to add the bridge with the sax solo and play it as a chord melody.  I didn't teach this during the lesson because I hadn't figured it out yet (and it's also too challenging for our All-Levels lesson).  I can elaborate on it in a future Intermediate Live Jam, but here are the chords, to help the advanced players figure it out on their own:  Fmaj7   E7  |  Ebmaj7  D7  |  Dbmaj7  C7  |  F   Ebmaj7

Enjoy the video, enjoy the lesson, and happy to hear your feedback on both!

Monthly calendar post is coming soon - reminder for our UK/ Europe friends that Jenny's bonus Beginner live jam for you is this Thursday at 5:30pm London time.
