You have a very smooth voice, dude… I was hoping for a little help with the strumming but still was a good lesson, thanks
He forgot to say the end of the verse with D/F/C and return on the F to finish.
The intro sounds better with this fingering : XX0560 and D (XX0232)
The rest is clear
Thanks Raskali
Good lesson< I do wish the camera would have stayed on your left hand though< would be much easier to follow.
The lesson is very good, but excellent camera work.
Outstanding ! You teach clearly and with good material, delivery and format. I love it and learned it. Thank you, honorable teacher !
Um, that opening chord is totally wrong…the first chord is played at the fifth fret… the chord is shaped like this: G string at the fifth fret & the B string at the sixth. You pull off on the G string as you strum the chord.
can you please elaborate on the “tapping-on-the-body” aspect of playing Neil Young?

good quality lesson. very nice. thanks a bunch.
@Raskali You’re in tune albiet by ear. I guess i it’s just easier for me to use a piano or a tuner as opposed to tuning by ear to whatever the teacher is tuned to.
could someone tell me the position of the chords? Please!!

great lesson
This guy is so gay! Just the way he made this video
I always start at D and slide down to D position 5th fret, lifting my index finger continuosly on the E string. After “I’m alot like you are”, back to the D, everything sles I do exact. I learned it this way from a video he did way back in his 20′s. I actually tuned down half step also. Neil would use this tunning alot, but not sure if he used it in OLD MAN. I play it onmy 12 string so I keep that tunning. Anyway, love your version and picked up a few things you. GREAT jOB !@
The first (and most beautiful) chord is incorrect. The correct one (a Neil Young hallmark) is played like an open Dsus2 (open E string) on the fifth fret.
Also, Young plays a Fmaj7–not an F–after the D in the verses.
Finally, the chorus includes a G maj right after the Em7 (which is played as a 3-finger chord: an Em with the 7th added via the 2nd string at the 3rd fret).
@RATTfan95 Fuck you why the fuck would you say that? id like to see you make/edit a video as well as he did. and i seriously doubt you can play guitar and sing as well as he can. your the gay one
Well taught mate, classy video, loved the cup o’ tea bit.

@RATTfan95 good job, now continue jerkin it in your parents’ basement

yea, if you watch the live version by neil young from 71, you can see he does the intro on the 5th fret.
Props, on lesson, double props on camera angles
