Today we are going to learn how to play Jane Say's by Jane's addiction. Not sure who Jane was, but she clearly had a pretty big impact on this band! This is just a two chord song at its core but it is a great example of how you can get a lot out of so little. The songs adds pull offs, changes on the offbeat, 16th note strumming, and a bass that pushes the G major to a G major 7, we incorporate the bass to give it that flavor. I love two chord songs, I really do, and this is a great example of a classic one that it is a ton of fun play once you get it down. Groove based music is magical and this is a great example of how powerful strum patterns can be.
Looking at old photos of the band I almost forgot that Dave Navarro was in this band, haha. Jane's Addiction, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ink Master and Sons of Anarchy, the dude is like that free agent baseball player that has played for half of the teams in MLB. His work here with Jane's Addiction in the late 80s and early 90s is my favorite guitar playing of his. I consider him to be the weakest of the 3 guitarist that have played with RHCP in their mega popularity stage, I consider him to be the weakest fit, not the weakest guitar player, just the weakest fit for the band.
