This is just another fantastic lesson. It's the third one i've watched and studied....over the hills and far away, back in black and now this one....you are a great teacher and have brought me hours of enjoyment with my guitar...thank you so much

This guy is a genuine guitar instructor! He knows what the hell he's talking about, and he explains the parts of every song thoroughly. You can follow his lessons with the confidence of knowing that he is teaching the song accurately. In my opinion, this is what every teacher of any subject should be!

Far and away...the best most knowledgeable teaching on YouTube..

Great Teacher, very explicit and easy to understand. Beautiful guitar too.

[WScott-gdmj]

Brilliant as usual...and thanks for not lazily treating this as an "easy" chorder as some do.

You are simply the best guitar teacher on youtube, by far. Truly appreciate your videos, thanks so much.

This is by far the best tutorial I found for this song. the strumming is so smooth. Like you said its feel.

You're lessons are perfect. You play so well. Just like hearing the Artist. Very informative and detailed lesson. That Taylor is gorgeous. You said 214ce K Deluxe. Its on my list. I play the 110e. Lots of base. 214ce has The perfect balance and tone. I am wondering why you do not have over 100k subscribers. You deserve them and more. 
Thanks for the lessons.

Awesome-  someone got this 'right', not that there is a 'right' as you point out, as in exactly as Neil performs it which is impossible. Thanks a load for this video - you caught the spirit of the song and included the embellishments that make Neil's sound so colorful. No such thing as an easy song - I totally agree if making it really sing is your goal. Neil's song are deceptively hard to get  'right'.

Very clear and easy to understand - thanks! Well done.

very very very nice lesson. loved every bit. brought out all the fine nuances like nobody ever does.😎😎😎😎

there a couple tutorials for this, but this one is best.   the strumming is all open and dynamically flat in many of the others...that palm muting here creates a strong pulse and also creates room for dynamics.  its great that your videos focus as much on how to sound good as on how to play it.  ive played plenty of things note for note without sounding good...those little tips on musicianship are the parts of your videos I appreciate the most.

Love your teaching style and videos. I've been playing this song for a very long time but you actually reminded me of a couple of things I'd neglected over the years. I really enjoyed your In the Beginning and Ramble On lessons as well. Keep up the good work. Btw, I play several guitars but just bought a 214 CE Sunburst Deluxe. Great guitar.

You're a great resource with a killer style! Many thanks and keep it up the good work. Regards. Danny

Mr. SU&P, great lesson again. Like your comment about this song’s difficulty. So what if their simple chords, it’s getting the feel and vibe to make the song right. Totally agree. Great tune as all of Neil young’s songs are. Just wanted to add sometimes by watching the original artist a person can get a good feel for the song. Thanks

[michaelpasmore]

Thank You, awesome! I thought I could play this one pretty well and after watching your this I can play it much better.

[MrNonaste]

Suhhhweeet!  Brings back memories when I was a kid.  And I agree.  Every song I try to learn is hard.  Nothing easy about guitar.  It's only easy on the ear listening to artists like you.  Thanks.
