Reckless (fingerstyle guitar)

[lmorgan1974]

Very Tommy Emmanuel. (You cover good songs though)

[jawmunji]

@lmorgan1974 Thanks, yeah, I arranged that one when I was in my TE inspired days. Most of my latest stuff is Naudo inspired, although, I think I may have found my own particular sound, after all these years ;)

JAW

[statts54]

this is a high class rendition - love it.......

[jesijames32]

wicked!! awesome!

[campgalley]

[leepasco]

Awesome mate! This song brings back good memories Damn wish I could play the Guitar better.....

[aussietv2]

This will go great in my elevator. J/K ,great job.

[crackers95]

good to hear some australian crawl

[harrisonlowe1]

Too much in it for the layman but its pretty and try singing as well lol

[Silentfox9]

i first thought this is reckless from papa roach cause i came to this video from a vid of proach ^^

but afterall it still sounds awesome, nice job!

[artstarAS80]

good to see an aussy song being played on an aussy guitar! Matons are great = ) well done

[jawmunji]

Yep - Aussies should be able to play an Aussie song on an Aussie guitar...hence the reason why I arranged this one (and "Choir Girl", and a few more I plan on doing in the future.)

Thanks!

JAW

[myfingershavetheflu]

Excellent arrangement and I love the PDF tabs that's a lot of work thanks heaps.

Michael

[mattyhulla]

Good Job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[texn333]

sick finger picken man

[raaqi]

This is fucking awesome. I was born in 1983 when this song was released. I love it to death.

[jawmunji]

Good year '83 - we won the Americas Cup, piss drinkin' Hawke became prime minister and Reckless was recorded ;)

JAW

[raaqi]

Awesome. Haha. Good times... good times indeed. How time flies.

[bassux]

what about H&C

[musixxxman]

Great job dude, kudos. And btw, how long have you been playing?

[jawmunji]

Thanks! 30 years - I should be better ;)

[7Mark3]

Have listened a few times now and still loving it!! I really think Crowded House would be worth looking at being another great aussie band.

[jawmunji]

Thanks man - I should go through the Crowded House catalogue and see "if anything suits" ;)

[darrenrosenow81]

One of my favourite bands. Kind of get patriotic about being an aussie listening to this and other aussie groups!

[jawmunji]

There aren't enough people arranging classic Aussie rock for fingerstyle, I decided the world needed needs more of it ;)

Thanks,

JAW

[plastabrick]

CHER CHER - Push Mr Emmanual aside for a moment and say, Hey what a cool instumental from this guy who ever you are ..... great stuff.

New Zealand.

[jawmunji]

Hey Bro! I think this came together as an arrangement exceptionally well - it's sad only us Aussies and Kiwis can appreciate it.  The world doesn't know what they were missing out with Aussie Crawl. Thanks from Western Australia :)

[Coldfire6699]

gotta be honest never appreciated that solo until i seen it played in this vid, thats gold

[Cwenceslao]

your songs r kool! (xept the tabs r 2 hard)

[felixpuncrocoi]

Really great. I don't know any aussie songs, but that was beautiful!

[toy200sx]

You've done us proud mate. Absolutely fantastic!! A1  Keep it up

[jawmunji]

Hey thanks. It's important I reckon to get some classic Aussie rock songs into fingerstyle ;)

[enzedbrit]

that was beautiful!

[thetoysband1980]

Go the maton.

[TheHandymanQld]

Jeez. I sang to this and I have no voice (I actually know the words). And I did pick up the missing beat but it made no difference to it overall.

You did a great rendition of a fantastic piece. James would be very proud. Well done.

[jawmunji]

Thanks HMQ! This will always be one of my favourite songs to play, because it is uniquely Aussie, all Aussies know it, but the rest of the world has never heard it! ~~~~JAW

[ahhshityeh]

wats the name of this song?? i really like it

[damo1128]

awesome nice sounding guitar to

[pablocool159]

You should do an acoustic version of one of the police songs, any song would be great man.

[mundusfungus]

Loved it - thanks!

[Paulinhorsg]

Fantastic !!! Congratulations You are great artist

[roaster71]

Totally awesome sound dude. I don't play guitar - only keyboard - but you make it look very easy. I'm sure it wasn't!

[justinwizoz]

just beautiful!!!

[d00deth]

Not quite sure what went on around a minute in, the whole hard pluck style thing (not a player, just an appreciator) seemed to be .. out of synch with the entire feel of the piece, but otherwise a fucking great rendition of a fucking great song.

[jawmunji]

Yeah at about the minute mark I dropped a beat, stuffed it, heh, only human. However the double hard pluck in the second verse is to try and imitate the acoustic guitar in the original recording which hits those notes on those beats - I thought it was okay; additionally it mixes things up, might sound a bit repetitive otherwise.  Thanks for the comment! :)

[damo1128]

wow awesome

[drodenbar]

nice maton

[PnkFloydFan420]

hard song to play with the muting! never heard of Australian crawl before though. theyre pretty good

[yipmicha]

lol n1 how you use the cams!

[fundor]

Thanks for all your tabs ;) very very nice ! Even if i only have acrobat that already help me a lot !

[caseyizzle]

that was the coolest acoustic ive ever seen, wow nice job man, i dont really like classical but that was a kickass song, im more into GNR like stuff but wow man, i might learn this song

[rotrose0815]

Thank you, you really help me to play better Guitar!

[lestep]

Fantastic! Shame the low E (->D) is out of tune.

[rahrox]

Oh my god, i love this song, and you have done the music absolute justice, dude, it's purely awesome

[IfTheSunSlept]

gday dude, do you rekon you could record this again but the chord structure of your fingers, i cant figure out the low bit of the bass line..good fuckin job

[jawmunji]

How about the tab instead? Click on the my profile and follow the link. Note: Dropped D tuning. Enjoy!

[ev102938]

Man....Simply Awesome. You are a God.

[Blatman1000]

hey dude I am a slow learner is there any tab i can get which covers this brillantly wonderful effort I just love it...fanastacic ..

[jawmunji]

Yep, click on my name and follow the link on my channel page - all my tabs are available. Reckless is a tricky one, be warned - but enjoy! ;)

[Blatman1000]

this is cool as..excellent Paul Kelly ish version is it..

[lukemce]

Dear Jawmunji,

Congratulations for this remarkable interpretation. I am as amateur as possible playing guitar, and this video inspired me to study classic guitar. I have to play like this, it is wonderful.

Would you do this with another Aussie Crawl songs?

Best of all.

Luke

[jawmunji]

Thanks Luke - yep, I'm am pretty pleased with the way this turned out. I'd say the style is fingerpicker rather than classical, but since I have a classical background the style I applied kinda fits somewhere between them both.

I've never thought about doing any other Aussie Crawl songs; this one had the best feel for an instrumental acoustic out of their hit collection. Even Reyney does a sung acoustic version of it ;)

[lukemce]

Jaw, Thank you for your reply. It is always nice to listening to this song, you did a great work. I will manage to arrange time to learn and practice your lesson.

James Reyne allso has many new songs from his solo carrier that would be nice doing the same fingerpicking, for example "I Don't Get Out Much Anymore" James also made acoustic versions of "Errol", "Hammerhead!", "Downhearted" which are very great songs.

Keep making it happens Jaw!

Luke

[eugbro]

choice man

[gabbyo1]

this is fucking awesome mate ur relly good

give up ur day job and play full time

[jawmunji]

Ha! Thanks! Unfortunately music doesn't pay as well as engineering. You know the old joke - What is the difference between a musician and a pizza? A pizza can feed a family of four.

;)

[phantomferal]

brilliant.....love your work mate

[peterng20]

Nice. This is an interesting song since it is the first Aussie classic I heard.

[alberty2007]

hey good song could possibly send me the tab for that song thanx

[dunkie007]

good fucking job my fuckin tops i might beable to play it as good a you 1 day

[Ben1257sb]

i have a suggestion 4 u to get the audio perfectly synced with the video. comment back if you are interested

[Jazzguts]

Nice Jason,that drop D works nice giving the song a deep bass sound,good camarawork(is your wife doing that?) guitar sounds good,very enjoyable to listen to,greetings Victor.

[jawmunji]

Yeah Vic the dropped D gets a good sound on the Maton. Camerawork - nah, I cheated, it is me playing the same song 3 times from 3 different angles and a bit of software trickery :)

[wayneduck18]

You are a freak, great stuff!!

[addy321]

that was awesome! one of my favorite songs.

[thedys70]

Jaw... loved the dropped-D tuning! Simply Inspiring.

Maton EM325C i'm guessing? Dyso

[jawmunji]

Thanks...I think it takes a thirty something Aussie to appreciate this song. Maton EM225C ~1995 model (I was too poor/stingy at the time for a 325)

[thedys70]

Yeah, i had a peek on your website since posting this and checked out the rest of your guitar arsenal! I look forward to watching your other clips soon! Dyso

[tonymcchris]

Excellent. Well Done

[hairyjon1]

Beautiful my friend. Maybe one day i'll be as good as you...

[ChookRaffle11]

Amazing mate, great production of one of the more melancholy and moody Aussie songs.

[neilmitchel]

shit hot bloke good on ya great effort aussie crawl rocked my fav aussie band

[supercheekykiwix]

Wow amazing. I'm going to be the pain in the butt that asks where did you tab it. I saw somewhere else in the comments that you have done one.

[jawmunji]

No worries - click up the top right on the video page where it says "more" and follow the link.

[phantomferal]

Geat effort mate. I thought it was fuckin grouse!

[zoitz]

I really like the arrangement...however I am going to be that dickhead and have one little whinge!...I was listening to the song and reading the tabs you wrote and there is another 7thfret 1st string note played at the end which wasn't tabbed!loved it mate

[jawmunji]

Thanks! You have my permission to add the extra note to your version :)

[sjh1970]

Nice arrangement and well played. Enjoyed it mate.

[danaholic86]

amazing, beautiful, that's great, is this song up as an mp3 anywhere?

[jawmunji]

Thanks! I'd like to play it smoother and with more feeling before I put out an mp3, but I probably won't get around to it, so I've put it out anyway. You can find the mp3 in the same place as the tabs (click on more up the top).

[Shilo83]

beautiful

[Aoshi916]

i envy u..u r such a great guitar player, i like your vid. of canon in d more tho, but this was also good...i started learning how to play canon from your tabs thx to u

[meemeesiko57]

I'm really diggin' this man. I love what you did with the staccato chords over the melody. The only thing buggin me is that out of tune low E string, but you probably knew that.

I love the recorded tone you got here too. Keep up the awesome work.

[jawmunji]

Thanks, yeah, I'm quite pleased with the way it turned out. 6th string is tuned to D in fact, which has benefits and problems. One of which is if I play a fretted note and I even slightly bend the string, just from normal fingering, you notice it. Not to mention the tension of a 6th string as a D is pushing the friendship with the guitar.

I tuned it in on the electronic tuner before I started, really ;)

[juanmitta]

Wow, brilliant , marvellous, congratulation

[mamagallon2000]

WOW I could listen to that over and over... nice job...

[larrivee70]

Good arrangement! Wasn't familiar with the original tune, but I found it here in the Related links. Well done, and A+ for video production values :) Tom

[fngrpckr]

Awesome! You are very talented, I like the melody in the Bass and the staccato shot in the treble. I'll be trying this approach on something! Thank's

[jawmunji]

Yes - Tabs available - Click on More up there -^
