Unexpected Jams: a Quick Story from Justin!

Plus, I have a little thing to ask you. May I? [View this email in your browser]( “Anyway, here's Wonderwall” 10 Singalong Songs You Should Know Howdy guitar friend, A few weeks ago, I took a ski holiday in Tignes, France. It was a super fun week—we had lots of fun, but it wasn't easy. My son was only a month old, so my Mrs didn't get out on the slopes, and none of us got much sleep. The weather conditions had made quite a few of the days challenging. We were all a bit tired by this point and just winding down…On our last day, my friends thought it would be fun to secretly tell the owner of the restaurant we were at that I was a famous guitarist and if he bought out his guitar, I'd play some songs. But when the guitar appeared I wasn’t really in the mood. Another friend who was there plays a bit, so he took over for a few tunes, but I knew I had to play something…. And what’s funny is that I know hundreds of songs, but in that moment, I was overwhelmed and I couldn’t think what to play! Luckily I remembered the song that would certainly work in a French restaurant full of English people… “Anyway, here's Wonderwall!” When I got back home, I gave this a thought, and concluded that you, as a guitar player, could be put on that same sort of unexpected spotlight I was put on—on a family party, friends reunion, or Sunday barbecue… So, I decided I should make a list of songs that I would keep in the notepad on my phone with the lyrics and chords, for exactly moments like this. After all, that was not the first time I’ve struggled with what song to play at a party! I think this ended up being a useful video for many of you… So, voilà , I just released a “10 Party Singalong Songs You (We) Should Know” lesson—and I hope you'll enjoy it! Can I Ask You a Quick Favor? 💙 You might have noticed that my main YouTube channel has been a bit quiet lately. Between taking care of the new baby and diving deep into the [Blues Immersion]( my schedule has been pretty packed. But hey, good news! Things are starting to settle down, and I'm eager to jump back into creating new lessons for y’all—focusing on Intermediate Grades, as you asked for in our latest survey. However, there's a little hiccup: the YouTube algorithm isn't too keen on channels that haven't been active recently. :( So, when I release a new video, it might not reach as many of my subscribers unless there's some initial buzz around it. This is where you come in! Your support can make a huge difference. Simply [click here]( to watch the new video on YouTube!
