You may also want to look at a few songs on the "En Concert" album, like Home and Country Road. Easy songs, normal tuning with a capo. Banana Pancakes is pretty good too once you pick it apart. There is a nice lesson on youtube for it.

My favorite is Gone, Gone, Gone off of his first album. also Banana pancakes. Keep playing him, if not for me jamming jack johnson songs, me and my wife never would have had that first date. Thanks again Jack.

I can share with you the tab I've written up for the intro and verse of Jack Johnson's "Do You Remember". It's in .jpg format. I can email to you, if you send me a pm.

Or maybe this link will work :
http://community.webshots.com/album/569180455rwYeyO
I uploaded it to webshots.com

I've got the lyrics/chords in a word doc, I can also send.

if I could & no other way are two other easy ones to play


matt costa's songs also have that JJ feel. check out "the road" and "sunshine" on youtube. there was a nice little video of both of them playing a fall line/sunshine medley from jack's weekend at the greek dvd

I have fun playing "UpsideDown". Pretty easy tune. Has a few hammer-ons and a B chord but if you cant do that just try barring the 4th as a crude cheat for the B. The strumming style and muting really makes a lot of his songs sound like Jack.
