Who can show us what Colin Hay is doing in this tune?
His take on Jimmy Webb's "Wichita Lineman" is really nice. See it here.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IB65PKfcW0g&loop=0 I can play it, the chord progressions and the hammer-ons, up until the short solo break part, but cannot see what he is doing up in the upper reaches of the fretboard. I am playing it on my Yamaha LS-TA, the transacoustic ON, set with reverb at about 3/4, and chorus at 1/2. Sounds terrific. But I need to learn the solo. For us lowly non-pros who struggle, are any of you willing to do a quick tutorial, via video, or alternately, write out what do do?

Very nicely sung and played but it seems he doesn't really want you to see his playing.
Basic progression available here : https://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab...chords-1193052 I find that lead break melody lines usually occur within the chord progressions. Hope that helps.

Thanks, Mr M, but he's not being secretive. Watch his excellent how-to for "Overdrive." I wish he'd done one for this.

I watched to hear what he was doing. Around 2:15 in the video he simply goes up the neck and uses a couple of alternate chord forms with a few melody notes thrown in.

Found the TAB via Reddit, paid $5.75 for the .pdf, and I am all set.
Was the TAB guy, "Transcriber Joe," one of y'all? It is precisely as Colin Hay plays it.

Here's a great in depth video for this song but on electric.
