    I can't understand why people have given this a thumbs down.
    Excellent clear lesson of a classic song.
    Well done mate!

      It’s down to a problem called envy Norman, a big problem with many people in this day and age, can’t do anything for themselves but willing to criticise those that can

    Hello Joe,
    I've watched your channel and I truly enjoy how you teach, and how to play wonderful songs. You make it easy to understand and follow and fun to learn.
    Thank you.
    Sir, I've looked at most of your videos in your library but I did not see Collin Hay's song, Overkill, in your library. Do you have this particular song in your library? if not, would you be so kind as to record a tutorial of this song? I'd really appreciate it.
    thanks again.
    Mario.

    • @JoeMurphysGuitarlessons
      @JoeMurphysGuitarlessons  8 років тому

      +Keith Skelton Hey Keith, not sure about nut width, should be easy to find out though, maybe check Martin website, should be there. As for strings I always use d'addario extra lights 10-47, sometimes the coated EXP other times just the standard EJ15

    • @keithskelton5596
      @keithskelton5596 8 років тому

      Hey Joe
      Thanks again
      I checked the website & the EC 00028 neck width at the nut 1.75 inches
      which is as wide as my Ibanez & suits my hands/fingers
      I also checked the price and the Martin review on how they are made
      It was soooooo impressive and they sound amazing
      an EC triple O 28 is on my bucket list
      ps.
      In the last 4 days
      I've made good progress as a result of absorbing the method/study from your vid's
      Thanks again :-))

      JoesGuitar lessons Lol, I want to. When I was 13 I started playing guitar for a few days I actually learned to play a song from nirvana's unplugged book in one day not an easy song for someone that played for a couple days then never stayed with playing guitar. But I think I'd like to learn this song.

      I agree with you. I'm a mediocre guitar player at best and still, after years of plugging away, am only now getting the fingers to go where they should to play R&J. MK's so damn musically talented and a guitar playing virtuoso. Never ceases to amaze me: Lady Writer, Devil's Baby, Telegraph Road, and on and on...

  • @bangurhead4027
    @bangurhead4027 5 років тому +2

    What happened there gov? You mixed up the 1st verse lyrics with 2nd verse lyrics. Right at the beginning those aren't the proper lyrics, it starts out with "here I am again in this mean old town", NOT "Where are you when the sun goes down", just my 2 penny's there mate!! On this particular song, the words dictate the chords, not vice verse. It may be simple, but crucial. Cheers!!
