Jack Johnson - Posters
This is the song Posters off Jack's last album Brushfire Fairytales. This is a
great song and I just figured out how to play it thanks to a lot of help from my
man Dave in Normal, Ill. It may not be 100% right, but it sounds pretty good and
it'll get you started.

and if it ain't this...
Those are the 4 basic patterns Jack uses in the song. I don't really have the timing
down here, so listen to the cd to get that and the strumming pattern. Jack switches up quite
a bit between the different patterns, especially towards the end of the song, so
listen for it and you'll get it. If you want to contact me, email zazill@hotmail.com.
Peace.
