Gotta love social media! Here a guy records and posts how to play the chords of this song for the benefit of complete strangers. Yet there are negative comments about the tuning or it being accurate. If you have ever picked up a guitar you will know the tuning by just listening or simply hold a tuner to your device as he hits the six strings at the beginning. As far as accuracy, there are several videos on CZcams of Colin Hay playing this song and doing exactly what you see here. This man isn’t playing the song in its entirety, simply demonstrating how to achieve those sounds. I’m surprised there aren’t countless comments asking for tabs! If you’ve looked for a video on how to play this piece then here it is, you just have to make a little effort on your own. Thanks for posting this tutorial!
Could not have said it any better my friend, I love this song and this lesson is perfect in every way, thank you teacher for showing me a great song without saying a word. I'm a fan man...
Believe it or not this is my first comment on a tutorial. I’ve listen to the song played by Colin many times but could never figure out how to do it. Yes, this doesn’t give the whole song but it certainly helped me immensely.Thanks so much for posting it. And I too, like the fact that you didn’t have to say anything. The chords speak for themselves.
Thank you so much! I know people have different needs. For me personally, I am SOO SOOO GLAD, I don`t have to listen to endless bla bla, drives me crazy in many tutorials. This is exactly what I needed!!! Sooo helpful! Thanks again man, greets from Switzerland!
Nicely done. Tuning in the beginning. No useless dialogue or ramblings. And if those who request you slow it down you can do that yourself in the CZcams settings. This was one of the best tutorials I have seen for this great song. Thank you. Do more. Wilcox uses this tuning I believe. Do some of those.
I’m no whiz but in 10 minutes I got it. Been trying for a week on other sites that have trickier riffs and some god awful chords shapes. Better to play simple well than tricky poorly. Thank you for great tutorial.
Thank you soooo much... this is honestly the best lesson out there... if you wanted to explain a bit that'd be great. but im just gonna dink around and im sure i'll have it soon... thanks again!
Nice 👍 and that is a special guitar too!! I had a go a covering this some time ago, it’s a special tune, made even more special by the sound of that Martin!
first of all id like to say thank you for your amazin time you put in to this tune that shall never get old!!! colin hay is amazing!!!! but i was won dering if you could slow it down and explain the chords?? its cool if you cant illl figure it out but if you can help it would b much apprciated :~P
@@johngannon9954 Well if you can't tune your guitar from that, you need to practice tuning by ear till you can get it, as it's really simple once you can do that.
Actually, Phil no it isn’t. As a beginner, you probably aren’t aware that there are multiple ways to tune a guitar. Electric Tuner is by far the best and most accurate method. There is also Relative Tuning, Tuning by Harmonics, Tuning by Harmonics & Electric Tuner, Tuning Fork or Pitch Pipe. Once you have played the guitar for a couple of years, you may develop enough skill to hear how our of tune your guitar is right now by just using your “ear”. In the meantime, I suggest you buy an electronic tuner and use it when you practice.
It's truly amazing how a chord progression can squeeze a heart up to tears and make some feel like a human being again
Best walk through of these riffs by FAR on youtube. Very nice.

I could go on and on, but it boils down to this: Thank you.
Damn, that Martin sounds wonderful!

A tip : you can watch series at kaldroStream. Me and my gf have been using it for watching a lot of movies these days.
@Jaxx Anthony yea, I've been watching on Kaldrostream for years myself =)

Awesome.. Thanks...
Nicely done MRBABAR. I really appreciate you posting this.
Thank you sir! btw: great tone on ur guitar!!
Thanks much! I somehow had this written down in double drop D and was muting the B string. DADGAD is much better.

Your Guitar sounds great, do you still have the OM-42?
I do!
Just watch the beginning of the video and there's your tuning.
