Waltzing Matilda Acoustic

SORRY I DON'T KNOW HOW TO READ/WRITE TABS SO THERE ARE NO TABS - THIS IS MY ARRANGEMENT..
* If you CAN watch this in high quality, please do, the sound is much better*

This is a video of myself playing what would have to be my favourite tune - Waltzing Matilda. The arrangement is my own. I hit a couple of dudd notes, but considering it was about 45 degrees in the bathroom, I wasnt about to stay in there much longer to get the 'perfect take'.
I was wearing the Wallabies Jersey purely by coincidence.

Also, I'm not left handed, I had to put the camera in the shower facing the mirror to get the best sound, so everything you see is back to front, sorry :)

I hope you enjoy listening.

Really nice. Can't really make my comment more articulate than that, it was just really nice! Hooked me from the first note till the last.

@MrSpanky87 Haha, thanks :)

I've got another vid of me playing Waltzing Matilda, but it's recorded properly this time (not just with the mic on the camera)..

lol i was in the bathroom when i thought "i wana hear an acoustic version of waltzing matilda" this is the first cover iv'e heard and i realllllly like it, and the vid is perfect coz i play right handed guitar so it will be easier to learn your arrangement of the song

if you can, the tuning of the guitar? or is it standard? abit lazy to figure it out. My guitar is in a diff tunning atm

[brizzyroz]

Hi, cheers for the comment, glad you like it.

Tuning is pretty simple, I'll let you figure it out :)

Beautiful picking, beautiful arrangement, and lovely sound.

I'd be interested to know what kind of guitar that is you're playing.

Cheers.

Hi! Thanks for your comment..

I play a Tanglewood TW1000 FPP (Sundance Range)

FPP stands for the preamp it has - Fishman Prefix Plus..

I'm actually right handed, i just had to point the camera at the mirror to get the best sound.. So it's all back to front..

Glad you liked the video, I've been working on an instrumental album lately, it's nearly finished and this is one of the songs which will be on it..

I'll keep you posted on the progress if you like..

Thanks,

Rory

Bathrooms, putting sound studios out of business since 1925 :P

I keep coming back to this video. Hands down one of the best versions of this song. I'd say the words are integral to this song, but there's so much going on here, that it stands on its own beautifully as an instrumental. Cheers from the States, mate.

Nice. You played with alot of emotion. I'm impressed you learned this by ear.
