Chords for GuitCon Interviewmanndude with Jennifer James

_ _ _ _ _ _ Greetings [F] Earthlings from GitCon!
I'm here with the lovely Jennifer James.
You may have seen her out on the YouTubes and let's hear from her.
How long [D] have you been doing your thing on the YouTube?
Well, I think I have the youngest channel that is here because [N] I just started in November 2016.
Because I just started playing guitar in November 2016.
No [Ab] way!
Yeah, I've been [G] practicing for a couple of months now.
[E] So it's been kind of documented from the beginning.
Yes, [B] totally.
[Gb] That's cool.
The really first steps about just hitting one [D] note on the guitar, I [Ebm] got that recorded.
That's genius!
That's genius!
[Db] I don't think anyone's ever done that.
So you have to_
how often are you doing updates?
Every _ week I'll upload a video.
It's not _ [F] that every video is a [Cm] progress video.
Right, right.
It's just [G] sometimes it's talking about differences between class and acoustic guitar and stuff like that. Got it.
But still, it's been there from_
it's like the _ [A] camera in the womb, you know, from embryo to _ senior citizen.
That's really cool.
I dig that.
[D] I started my channel in German, so the first videos are in German language.
But I switched to English a month ago.
[G] I think they have the _ _ option to translate [E] the videos and it's really hilarious.
If people in America watched your first German videos and hit the YouTube translate button,
somebody else's [G] voice or a computer's voice will say kind of what you're saying.
[F] Oh, that's fun!
But some of it will be completely wrong.
I [E] didn't know that.
Or you should do it sometime for fun.
It's a great party [G] trick.
I hope it's a really dark voice being overlaid.
Wouldn't that be [Dm] great?
Well, [F] it's like watching TV over here, which I haven't done.
I [D] tried the first day I got here and I just went, every channel is in German.
Every channel, really?
Sometimes it's [G] awful when you see a [E] movie in English and then the German [A] ones.
Yeah, but hey, [E] we're all one happy family, one planet here.
So, let's get to serious questions.
_ Jewelry, silver or gold?
[Gbm] _ _ [Abm] I like jewelry.
[Gb] I don't care.
I like [E] gold.
You like gold?
[E] Like this.
[G] Yeah, cool.
It comes good with red.
I asked them to [C] make that microphone to look like Hulk Hogan.
Do you know the [Gb] wrestler Hulk Hogan?
[E] American wrestling?
[C] I know wrestling.
I don't know that [Gb] guy.
Oh, is it the one with the white beard?
He [D] does now, but in the 80s he was like a big blonde-haired [Gb] freak.
Oh, right.
We were little kids.
We all had Hulkamania t-shirts.
Anyway, that makes me think of the Hulkster.
It's a good one.
_ [Dm]
Let's see.
Tequila [E] or bourbon?
[Gb] _ _
_ _ I'm not [Gb] into whiskey.
Bourbon is a whiskey drink.
[F] I'm not into that at all.
[Ab] The _ [N] main thing I totally love is gin tonic.
I could drink gin tonic.
I like gin _ occasionally as a martini only because to me it tastes like pine needles, like a Christmas tree.
Juniper bush or gin tastes like a Christmas tree.
I grew up on a Christmas tree farm in Minnesota. No way.
True story.
If I'm lying, I'm dying.
True story.
So yeah, Christmas tree farmer turned rocker. _
[Em] But you need the olive [E] in there.
_ Not if it's gin.
Only with vodka.
I can't do olive with gin.
[G] It's too bitter that doesn't work.
We do a [E] cucumber in [D] it in the gin.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
[Db] Interesting.
_ [F] I'll ask for that at the [Em] airport.
_ [Bm] Have you been going to the jams at night here or any of [B] that afterwards?
[E] I do.
It's awesome.
I _ [Abm] feel like I have to practice.
[G] Well, you do.
I have to practice.
I've been doing [A] this for 30 [D] years and _ [Bbm] I'm terrible.
But it doesn't bother me.
_ It's more important to have fun than it is to practice.
It's just like half of [Gb] the things people are talking about here, I don't get it.
Because [C] I'm still a beginner [Ab] and I don't know about licks.
I don't know about taps and all this [Abm] stuff.
And I always feel [Gbm] like, what is she [Gb] talking about?
But that's cool.
Yeah, yeah.
Sure.
Your perspective from here could be one of the most important actually.
That's really great.
I like that.
So people that are watching your channel are getting a [E] more down to earth basic,
a more _ [Abm] [Ab] down to earth view of what's going on at GitCon
as opposed to some of the guys that are walking around saying all of the strategic, _
technical stuff that nobody really likes to hear about anyway.
We just can't help it because we're nerds and that's how we talk.
Yeah, but being a nerd is good.
Because it says that you're really into something.
True.
So I think it's really good to be a nerd.
_ [C] _ _
So, pie or cake? _
Doesn't matter.
I'll take it.
Really?
_ Donuts or cake?
Both.
Wow.
We can [G] continue that.
Chocolate or vanilla?
[Db] _ Well, okay.
There I have to go with chocolate.
Okay.
Good.
Very good.
What is your favorite, _ _ _ quote unquote, [Em] American fast food chain that is [Ebm] in Germany?
Whether it's Burger King or McDonald's or any of those.
Which one do you actually [B] like [Db] the most?
_ Well, that's a hard [Ab] one.
I like, like I'm just eating [Eb] fast food when I'm on the road.
[Db] Right.
And then [Ab] I'm always looking for Subway.
Yeah.
Because it's like_
That's the answer then, [Em] Subway.
It's Subway and the chili cheese [Ab] nuggets from Burger King.
I like that one too.
I don't even know what those are but they [B] sound good.
We don't have [Bb] those.
[Abm] No, you don't.
It's like [Ab] the best thing that Burger King [Gb] has.
Oh my God.
Yeah, it's like deep [E] fried inside there.
It's melted [G] cheese and this little [Gb] spicy stuff in there.
It's [A] really good.
See, you guys are an older country.
You know what's good.
We're just [Ab] a young country and we're still learning from our mistakes.
Even Burger King.
Even the Burger King is better over here.
My God.
Have you been to the States before?
Actually, I did for a whole year.
No kidding?
Yeah.
You went to school or just travel or_
I was an au pair.
I watched for four kids in North Carolina.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, I know that I will never ever get four kids.
Did you go through a hurricane by any chance?
No, I'm glad that I didn't.
We get those there, Carolinas.
Did you get to go up into the mountains at all?
I did.
It's beautiful.
We did a family trip there.
The family I was at, they were awesome.
They were [D] really nice.
They're not watching this.
You can tell the truth.
No, if you're watching this, Micah, Becca, Eli, [B] hi.
_ It's been such a long time.
I mean, I was there in _ [Abm] _ 2009.
Oh, wow.
So, they're [N] grown up.
Becca was four when I was there.
She's like a lady now.
She might be playing guitar now.
I hope she is.
You should find out.
Yeah.
Well, thank you so much for making the time,
and I hope you have a great time here at GitCon.
Yeah, thanks for having me.
And I'll see you upstairs later.
We do.
[G] Rock.
Thanks. _ _
