Old Man Guitar Lesson - Neil Young Acoustic

Get the TAB for Old Man guitar lesson here:

In this guitar lesson we will be learning the Neil Young classic Old Man. While the song is made up of simple open chords, it does have some complexities in the rhythm and vibe of the sound. Neil Young’s acoustic style often incorporates a semi palm muted technique that can be difficult to grasp for beginners. He also uses embellishments such as hammer ons within the chords to add color and movement.

the palm mute is the hardest part of this song

no idea how you can keep your fingernails THAT long on your chord- producing have to be cut as short as possible to the "pain"
