Besides spending time with his loved ones, Jeff also uses his time not on tour by practicing playing the guitar and challenging himself. Check out the latest video he posted from one of this practice sessions below:

“I’m always trying to push my limits on the guitar. I’m always practicing things that I cannot play. My bandmates have been very patient listening to me repeat the same passages over and over until I got them right. I rarely play things that I’ve mastered: I love new challenges. Talking about challenges: I started working on a piece by a Mexican composer named Ponce. His 3rd Sonata is pure genius but it’s far from simple. “

Popular Irish YouTuber Jacksepticeye use his Instagram Stories last night to have some fun and listen to one of Simple Plan’s most widely known tracks – ‘Untitled (How Could This Happen To Me?)’ – on camera along with some sing-alongs. The 27-year-old’s YouTube audience is over 15 million people with his Instagram feed reaching to 4.7 million of his fans.

This is however not the first time that a popular YouTuber has used this song in one of their videos – you may recall that three years ago, PewDiePie used Untitled as well to express his feelings about dropping his ice-cream cone.

Check out Jacksepticeye’s rendition of Untitled by Simple Plan on the video below:
