If you're not into old-school, another method is to use drywall clips. With this method, you intentionally make the drywall but together between joists, and use the clips to join the butts together. I've also used this method with success. The advantage here is that it finishes slightly better than butting the drywall over wood. Remarkably, it doesn't seem to affect strength. Make sure you use fine threaded screws with the clips.
