The second approach to teaching the song is a stripped down one. After going through the rest of the lesson and learning the parts, its time to pick up the guitar and practice the song as if you were performing it with just you and your voice (or maybe someone is singing along with your playing). The goal here is to capture the energy of the song without playing each part exactly as it appears on the recording. There are simply too many parts on the recording to play all at once. I perform each section of the song separately and explain what I am doing to "make it my own." I also provide vocal tips regarding proper breath support.

About Chris Liepe
View Full Biography
Chris Liepe was born on September 17th, 1981 in Portland OR. His first instrument was piano which he pursued until discovering his love for the electric guitar in high school. He became fans of such groups as Soundgarden, Collective Soul and U2 inspiring him to start singing, songwriting and helping others in their musical endeavors with teaching, co-writing and album production.
Having moved to Colorado with his family, he began gigging, recording and teaching in a number of music stores as well as out of his apartment until deciding to pursue music full time. He moved to Denver, CO to complete a Bachelors in Music Technology and was then hired on by Sweetwater Productions, a division of Sweetwater Sound and one of the largest, most successful recording studios in the Midwest.
Chris spent nearly 4 years at Sweetwater as a producer, recording engineer, studio musician and writer. During this time he had the privilege of working with many artists including Augustana, Landon Pigg, Jars of Clay, and Mercy Me. He also wrote for and played on numerous independent albums and hundreds of radio/TV commercials.
Wanting to get back to his favorite State in the world (Colorado) and feeling the urge to 'go freelance', Chris moved to Greeley, CO and opened his own recording and teaching studio. He continues to write and produce music for artists and agencies and is happy to be among the proud JamPlay.com instructors.

great lesson chris, well explained and demonstrated new song to me on my side of the atlantic, you can get a really powerful groove going there thanks
you are welcome!
Since the video "Purple Haze" by Jimi is still up does that mean Jamplay is legally allowed to teach Jimi Hendrix songs? Because if so, please make some more of those!
Not all songs are owned by the same people, so that one yes, other ones no. Unfortunately even with the same band it's not that easy. I wish I could describe to you guys how frustrating the whole licensing situation is :(
Don't want to be a negative nancy and to each his own, etc, but calling this an "American classic" does a disservice to true American classics. Sorry, but it's been bothering me since I saw the lesson first posted.
I agree. This is a great lesson and a great song but not even near a classic. It's especially not a very impressive song on guitar, either.
Biff, again as Jeff said this is completly subjective, making the statement that this is a disservice to "True American Classics" upsets me. This song in the late 90's hit number 1 on the charts for some time.For someone like me would classify it a classic. And when herd on the radio still to this day, is easily recognizable to the majority of alternative/pop music. Just because its not Hendrix, Zepplin, AC/DC, Ect, that most throw straight to the top of the white horse, doesn't mean a song like this cant be dubbed a Classic as well! Because of the many different aspects that are presented in this song, and lesson, how about we focus on the true quality of the lesson itself and thank JamPlay for presenting "IMO" the best quality lesson on the site.
Weeeeeell, calling it an "American classic" upsets ME. LOL. I wasn't really thinking of standards like the ones you mentioned. I was actually thinking of songs from that period (late 90's - Soundgarden, Tool, PJ, etc) that actually established the genre rather than ride it's coattails. But, ss jbooth said, it's subjective (kinda sorta) and we can agree to disagree. I am going to voice my opinion as a paying member so perhaps I might be heard and the site content modified to suit my wants... if enough members agree with me. A number one hit does not an American classic make. The Marcarena was a number one hit as well .
Didn't you hear? We've got the Macarena is coming out next! All joking aside: It's all about licensing. Eve 6 and their label were nice enough to let us use their material on the site, whereas bands such as Metallica will not under any circumstances. "Inside Out" is a catchy, instantly recognizable, guitar-driven song - that is why we chose it. Hopefully the disagreement about news item wording can be put aside and we can enjoy the lesson for what it is. =)
Good points Nessa. The licensing issue (should have but) didn't occur to me. I'd still rather learn the Macarena, though.... lol.
I will say this... (should've added earlier) that the lesson is incredibly well done. Production value and clarity are awesome.
Well, the term is completely subjective so we are all free to disagree with each other on this one :)
Nobody likes this song? :(
You are the man Liepe. I REALLY enjoy your performances of these songs man...great work.
Thanks!
And great work to the editor too! Fantastic production value here!
Amazing lesson! Great job, Chris!
