Rode NT3 Microphone: Colin Hay playing Land Down Under

[josephkavalakat]

I like ur style ....i am very basic to home rec.....did u use a Lo-z or Hi-z xlr cable to connect the rode nt3 to the audio interface ????......Many Thanks : ) cheers

[DeafFret]

@josephkavalakat lol. it snot my song.

[rootvalue]

This microphone sounds hundreds of dollars more expensive. Thank you for the video!

[wtw88]

@rootvalue Yes they're great mics. The M2 is also a lovely mic for the money. I'm looking at trying the S1 as well. They last two are hand held condensers. I can get the S1 for less than AU$300, the NT3 for $264 and the M2 for $155.

[guitarslinger75]

is this tuned a whole step down any help would be awesome

[GeetarApprentice]

@guitarslinger75 As far as I figured it out its a drop d tuning. So strings A to high e are all normal, only low E is tuned down a whole step down.

[vinnothelizard]

is this idiots hair dyed??

[dadpa]

@vinnothelizard I've seen some of your other comments. It must be difficult going through life ignorant, mean spirited, and unfunny.

[mandolinroad]

I like it way better like this.

[wtw88]

@mandolinroad Yes, and this one hasn't got "Kookaburra Sits in the Old Gum Tree" as part of the tune. How stupid were the courts for finding Men At Work guilty of plagiarism.

[soundmusiclover]

Stunning !

[girotube]

TIMELESS VOICE.. fantastic mics....

Rode mics are great

[zjrykoa]

What's with the depressing sounding covers of this song ... totally misses the original feel of this song that made it so great.

[jamahl]

@zjrykoa its not a cover, hes the lead singer of men at work

[zjrykoa]

@jamahl yeah a few people cover it in this way though, wasn't sure what to call this, but my point is it doesn't have the same sound as the original, sounds slightly depressing.

[mrbrunopolska]

where beer flows and men plunder woot@@!!

[montezumasrevenge]

Guitar sounds scratchy and trebly

[SuperLiverpool95]

great guitar player makes it look easy but sound awesome

[SKINS2273]

I think this ver. is awesome and Colin Hay is a true artist !

[crazybisuit3]

great voice

[ianclev]

Tune your top and bottom E strings down to D and you'll get it

[ThetrueDark1]

is the NT3 a condenser mic or dynamic?

[DeafFret]

@ThetrueDark1 Condenser

[wadey69]

does any one have tabs for this version

[elmuyrapidodehortaz]

soooooo beautiful !!!

[T4HL14]

Beautiful..

[meqwo]

hammer geil!

[tl46]

the main word that keeps coming to mind is perfection.  that is an amazing performance.

[jazzoidz]

1 word... WOW.

[superhawk23]

One of the best songs ever - Colin rocks!

[DeafFret]

You are wrong! wrong! WRONG!

[IBDoyle]

@DeafFret

Why is he wrong?

[DeafFret]

@IBDoyle because he lacks rightness.

[Kotlic]

@DeafFret ahahahahahah love your answer 

[tremoloheart]

@superhawk23... I'm going to see him at the Old Rock House in St. Louis May 4th. I can't wait. Colin has really found his niche...acoustic solo, insuring his audience the chance to observe his subtle genius with full attention.

[aubie0071971]

I just have to say he is awesome. notice how he sings out of time with his guitar work that is steady as a drum.

[OzTwanger]

Yep, this guy is a genius. Written a whole lot of great songs and is an awesome performer. His live acoustic versions of Overkill are out of this world.

[zzzfore]

Beyond Awesome!

[moliba11]

excellent song

[ftp2leta]

Gold it is...

[indzone12]

his voice is just impossibly good!!

[aviadmei]

"Do you come from a land down under, where womwn glow and men plunder????"

AGAIN AND AGAIN - THE BEST SONG EVER BEEN WRITTEN!!!!! REGARDLESS THE VERSIONS!!!!!

[indzone12]

everything is better accoustic!!

[tomvband]

I love this. Lyrics, guitar, vocals,...the whole thing......I liked it the frist time around too, but this is great!

[TeaWithPhil]

I like it when artists take a different approach to their own songs

[gibsonlespaul2006]

album version is bm,a,bm,g,a chorus d,a,bm,g,a

this version is am,g,am,c,d chorus c,g,am,c,g

[tl46]

that is GOLD my friends. amazing performance.

[pistonguy33]

I'm pretty sure he's using drop D tuning

[Natels]

I saw him live a few months ago! :)

[frribbib]

does any1 know what tuning this is?

[Neuumann]

Probably one of the most over looked guitarists/vocalists ever.

[frribbib]

i agree like 10000% but he is awesome. colin hay is the reason i startin playing guitar.

[Patrascul]

nice nice nice nice song

[matador483]

any one know the chords for this version? I usually play it D A Bm G A...love this one

[DeafFret]

Looks like he's playing in AM. Every now and then he throws in a C, and slides it up two frets making it a Dsomething.

[matador483]

yep- I figured it out and have been playing it, thanks man

[kellercore]

sooooooooooo geil!!!!!+++++

[the123blah]

i love this

[CraigIrish]

This dude needs to come put on a show in my living room whilst I drink and chill.

[myboredvlogs]

why dont you just get the chords and then figure it out or improvise and make it your own song.

[IamtheGrynch]

This might be my favorite performance that I've seen. His voice has a weird quality to it here, almost haunting, or melancholic. Unbelievable. I love his voice, it's amazing.

[matador483]

Chills. Such a good version of a contemporary classic. Love that he slips in "women too" after the "where men chunder" line.

[Darkeststar209]

Unique voice don't you think?

[2345876]

This is a fantastic song! And he is one hell of a player!

[ram8818]

this song it's very stupid... but it's greatest songs of 1900

[Carabin33fr]

why is it stupid?

[DeafFret]

It lacks the essential quality of unstupidness.

[juniorsdream]

Great song, they still play it here in Boston on the radio.

[frribbib]

Colin hay is by far a great guitarist but is not reconised by enough people great song and thanks for the upload.

[DeafFret]

It's not a great song. It's a stupid, throw away pop song, that accidentally achieved immortality by being associated with Australia winning the America's Cup yacht race in 1983.

[DigitalFigure]

it's great when put into this kind of arrangement

[darrenj678]

i dont think its stupid... i actually think you are stupid

[Phettu]

well i just dont think they would want an anthem written and performed by a Scottish bloke, but yes it is great and always makes me think of the dessert storms there :)

[topsidesoul]

why the fuck isnt this the aussie national anthem?

Give colin some cash and make it the anthem now.!!!!!!!!!

[Hammerelf]

colin hay is a got, just like jon oilva

[BirdmanGhost]

colin hay is a goat? :)

nice to see another human who loves the music of hay and jon oliva (i was sure i was the only one out there:).

[dagvin]

no there are a lot more ;)

and he is not a goat he is a GOD^^

[jantanner1982]

thx for upload! colin is the most beautiful songwriter ever!!!
