Waiting for my real life to begin Guitar Lesson Colin Hay

[@Shaunrock62]

Damn ... I listened to this song for the first time 10 minutes ago, I loved it so I searched for a guitar lesson. I found your lesson from 1 year ago and then checked your channel and saw that you did a re-shot for this lesson a few hours ago. Trippy

[@SimonMorelguitar]

The wonderful internet! Glad I could help you out. Subscribe for heaps more lessons including a bunch of Aussie stuff too. Cheers Simon

It's such a great song and those of us who have had dreams of taking our music to higher places but alas some dreams fade for many reasons.

[@SimonMorelguitar]

It's a great tune. Thanks for watching Felix

[@kurtmanderbach8164]

Just found your stuff Simon. I like how you keep the lessons moving alone. The only thing I would ask for would be a play through beginning to end before starting breaking it down. Maybe just intro verse chorus to demonstrate the flow. Great video! Helped a lot. Thanks

[@SimonMorelguitar]

Hey Kurt, thanks for watching - it is much appreciated. And for the constructive feedback. I do like to get straight into the video after showing a little of how it goes. I always worry that folks would get bored before the video lesson part actually starts. Sometimes I do a playthorough at the end of videos. Not sure if I did it here or not. I will definitely keep that in mind. If you need the chart by the way, you can get that at www.simonmorel.com/free-chart - all the best, Simon

[@SimonMorelguitar]

Hey Kurt I've just watched a bit of the video (always weird watching yourself) and I do a playthrough at the end... I've added some chapters to help out too.

[@alexoller22]

Thanks for your tutorial; I found it very helpful. However, sometimes it was sort of hard for me not to get lost. Many guitar teachers do no feel too comfortable singing while they play, but I think some captions would do the trick, or just writing down the lyrics on your chart. Just a suggestion, though. I’m making this comment because your lesson did help me, but I think knowing where each chord goes in relation to the singing would have made the learning process a whole lot easier. Anyway, thanks a lot. Good tutorial 👍

[@SimonMorelguitar]

Hey Alex, Thanks for watching. This is a tricky song arrangement wise. If you go to www.simonmorel.com/free-chart I can send you the chart so you can follow along. Also, just in case you didn't notice, I've split the video into chapters detailing exactly what the chrods are in every part of the song - verse, chorus etc. I'm sorry you found it hard to follow, but glad it ultimately helped. All the best, Simon

Hi Simon,do.you know Overkill? Many people say that was Men at Work/Colin Hay most popular song.

[@SimonMorelguitar]

Hey Gav🎲, thanks for watching. I do know that song - it is a cracker. I'll put it on the list to do a lesson on over the next few months. btw there are heaps more easy to follow lessons on my channel and at least 2 new ones every week, so subscribe and click the bell for a notification when they are published.

[@SimonMorelguitar]

Hey Gav, how are you doing? JUst discovered this on Overkill. Colin Hay himself teaching it! How good is that? kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4jFm6GrjLpnn7M&ab_channel=ColinHay

[@SimonMorelguitar]

Hey Gav, I've shot a lesson for Overkill over at my other channel Aussie Guitar Lessons Weekly. Check it out at kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipDWcmCMn7hsh5o - cheers Simon

[@happygolucky6331]

That looks like a parlor guitar Keith Urban played from Australia I thought it was built?

[@SimonMorelguitar]

Hi there, thanks for watching. I don't know about Keith's guitar, but this one is a Mini Maton made in Australia. Great guitar. To check out the guitar in more detail, have a look at this video (kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4OTqY2Cq6mdjdk). All the best, Simon ps subscribe for 2 new videos weekly.

[@happygolucky6331]

@@SimonMorelguitar yes Keith had a maton

[@unadeneefe1031]

It's great and much appreciated but doesn't make sense to me without the words and a play through to get the rhythm.

[@SimonMorelguitar]

Hi Una, thanks for watching. There's a playthough at 14:17, I've got it marked as a chapter. It's hard to do full playthroughs and singing as you will often get a copyright ping here on KZbin. Hope the video helped a little at least. All the best, Simon

[@myleslovell5731]

Appreciate the update. Love the new angle. I’ve struggled to find a version which mimics Colin Hayes’ picking style of the song. Is this something you’re able to cover also?

[@SimonMorelguitar]

Thanks Myles. Maybe. There are so many other songs to get through on the list though! You never know. All the best Simon

[@bmsixer]

Great video Simon. Such a cool song. If you’re re-shooting videos and looking for suggestions, then Oh No Not You Again by Australian Crawl would be good. Such great guitar parts. Thx.

[@SimonMorelguitar]

Great idea. It's on the list

[@SimonMorelguitar]

Hi there, good news I've re-shot Oh No Not You Again. Video premieres this Saturday - kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJyvdaOMbKqLrNU - see you then! Cheers, Simon
