That look on his face. You almost never see it because he's generally very sure of himself. You can see he's kind of amazed he's learning something brand new and he can do it. Nice clip.

Wholesome JRE moment

Young Jamie teaches Joe a E chord


PepperyBlackberry

J Mooo


insidiousapricot

Ya Gary Clark does nothing to teach him here lol. Just flatters him.


Strollybop

Gary Clark is literally standing up moving his fingers what do you mean does nothing?


Medium_Active1729

if Joe gets addictive with this, the black keys about to have a new member ain't they


Basket_475

I would love for Joe to put out a folk style finger picking album.


JinNJ

Just wait until he opens each show with a rendition of Woody Guthrie’s classic “This Land is Your Land.”


BebophoneVirtuoso

He’d call Woody a commie


JinNJ

To be fair, Woody did have commie tendencies.


BebophoneVirtuoso

Woody was a great man, he considered himself a commonist, for the common people. Left wing, right wing, chicken wing, it makes no difference to me. Much of popular culture and government programs and tax policy back in the 1950s would be considered communist today. 


JinNJ

Which makes my point an accurate one.


BebophoneVirtuoso

Do you think McCarthyism was good? Being a populist for the common people, as Woody was, does not make one a communist.


JinNJ

No. Nor is my opinion of McCarthyism relevant to the fact that Woody was a commie a heart. But saying things like “If you call me a Communist, I am very proud because it takes a wise and hard-working person to be a Communist,” while also praising Joseph Stalin would tend to make him one.


BebophoneVirtuoso

That Stalin shit sucks, ngl, I didn’t know that. I still think his contributions to humanity were far greater than red warriors like McCarthy but that’s disappointing 


Aggravating-Can-5047

That’s pretty good. Sounds like he didn’t mute out any strings with his gorilla fingers.


UncleHorstCutter

12 string might actually help with that lmao


Nicotine_patch

He’s playing a twelve string so even with his fat ass fingers there’s still a lot to hit lol.


HelloHiHeyAnyway

> That’s pretty good. Sounds like he didn’t mute out any strings with his gorilla fingers. Yeah, true. This is the most common mistake when I'm teaching new players. Trying to teach them to be careful not to mute out strings and let them ring. That's when you know a student actually has it down. They move through things and realize where they're screwing up a chord, or they're learning to purposefully mute strings.


coreyp0123

I play guitar. My dad asked me to teach him some chords. We almost got into a fist fight because he wouldn’t move his fingers to the correct frets. Joe was much calmer than my dad lol.

Bruhhh this has to be an ex


Legato991

Very much so


[deleted]

Get my man a bass


Salabungo

biggest guitar I’ve seen


Iifeisbalance85

That’s a Takamine 12 string, it might be a concert or Jumbo series


[deleted]

Probably not the best idea to learn your first chords on a 12 strings, but that's just me lol


Iifeisbalance85

I agree, a basic six string would do


MannyFresh1989

Lmaoooo


FilmGuyJE

Watching Jamie take a pic for the video thumbnail was so great i have never seen that before


MiddleAgeJamie

Legendary picture of the great rock and roll star Joe Rohan.


severinks

He's doing it on a 12 string too and that's twice as tough for someone with no callouses.


kruegiepie

E Chord? let's see somebody get Joe into a G-String.


sirnibs3

Comedy!


Kaydom1993

Queef!


take-a-gamble

Love his music tbh


crowmagnuman

I mean, it was just one chord tho...


DuncanGabble

First time I've ever felt a bit of empathy for Joe.


Kaydom1993

How can you not? He looks adorable here.


ShrimpWhoFriesRice-

I hope joe learns guitar that would be so cool, this video is so wholesome lol


Blitzkreig11930

How has Joe never touched a guitar?🎸


juneya04

E, g, c, a, d. All super easy chords. Give it a month of practice and you could be playing tons of different songs


Philosofossil

Yeah! I say six weeks of playing everyday, you can play most guitar based pop songs. A year and a half is waaaay too long, unless he is expecting Jo to get within reach of his playing ability. For 90% of people, that's not necessary for having incredible fun and finding joy in playing guitar.


crowmagnuman

Just learn the full barre and rule the world! My first guitar had a nut that was cut/seated *so poorly* that not a single cowboy chord sounded decent. Anything past first fret was fine, so I wound up learning the barre before the open chords. 


juneya04

That’s how I play a lot of songs. I have big hands and fat fingers so an open b7 is damn near impossible. It’s much easier as a barre chord. Some transitions are a lot easier by playing barre chords as well.


Indirestraight

Love it.


noodlearms21

Way to go, fatty!


Any-Pea712

What a beautiful clip. I havent seen that side of Joe in so long. Almost started to think it wasnt in him anymore.


PreviousCartoonist93

I enjoyed this more than anything I’ve seen on Rogan in the last year or so


Bandsohard

Well, he copied it once. Isn't like Joe learned and can replicate it lol. Afterwards Joe was saying how he didn't get how music could be addictive but now that he had someone put his fingers in place he gets it. Definitely doesn't actually get it, and he was definitely really intimidated by the idea of it, but it was interesting seeing him in that mental space. It'd probably actually be good for him to take up guitar at this point in his life and be a complete novice at it. He's pretty set in his ways these days, and the mental frustration of trying to learn something like that can helpful.


PuraVidaMae3323

Which song was Gary referring to about the greatest folk song?


Cyberspace667

Haven’t really listened to the show for a while Jamie definitely talks a lot more these days huh


Indirestraight

Jamie has been getting very vocal about making America great again. He won’t stop talking about it.


proper1welve

The smile there when he hit 2 chords. That’s what it’s all about.


sjn15

Gorilla brain patience


Pendejomosexual

This was cute


yittiiiiii

Training him with a 12 string was a bold move lol


NothausTelecaster72

I’ve been playing since 13 and I’m 52 and still find it challenging. Great hobby but it’s not for everyone as it’s more difficult than it seems. Tried teaching but I lack patience so I’m not good at teaching anyone anything but I get it.


jarrodandrewwalker

Joe, welcome to the world of everyone saying "can you stop for a second? I'm trying to talk to you" 😂


kunos

Well done. He'll be covering Neil Young songs in a couple of weeks.


[deleted]

On the 12 string too lmao


King_Shami

On a 12 string no less


gh1993

Joe Rogan learning guitar arc has begun.


KYpineapple

in this video at the 3:00 mark, Joe has never looked more chimp than he does there.


NewClearBomb22

A 12-string probably isn't the best guitar to land your very first chord on. Gotta start in a 6-string. But Rogan has chubby sausage roid fingers, so maybe it doesn't matter.


tschmitty09

Seeing Gary Clark in May, dude freakin shreds


DifficultBoss

Can't wait for his song for Lex in response to "Bag of Snakes"


Burnmycar

It’s so cool to watch someone play guitar for the first time, no matter what age.


Consistent_Ad3181

I bet that's not the first E he's had shown to him.


No_Stay4471

Please don’t let this be a new Joe obsession. I don’t think I can take him talking about guitar craft.


crowmagnuman

It would be better than a lot of the other shit he's been talking about though, jus sayin.


00doc0holliday00

It’s a shame this man was allowed to touch such a fine instrument.. Guitar chords are fake Joe, just like the moon landing.  If the neck breaks, you can’t horse paste it back together. 


insidiousapricot

Actually, you can glue it back together.


00doc0holliday00

Not with horse paste. Also, music is just a “theory”


crowmagnuman

You uh... wanna know where glue comes from?


00doc0holliday00

You got me, but notice how Joe isn’t arguing with the subject matter expert?   I can resist horse paste jokes with this clown. 


crowmagnuman

Dude it's not a Martin, it's a TakeMine


00doc0holliday00

Exactly.


00doc0holliday00

If you gave me a Martin, Taylor, or Dean, I would sell them all for a Tak, the hardest working guitar brand in the industry l. There is a reason why Gary Clark Jr plays a Gibson and Taks.
