Thanks so much Lauren for having this lesson on one of my favorite acoustic singer/songwriter songs from the 70's. I'm 61 years old, and I'm trying to learn guitar for the third time in my life. This time, with the help of YouTube, there's no stopping me, no matter how long it takes. I watch several online guitar instructors, and I must say that you're, by far my, favorite.
i enjoy the way that you break down everything that you're doing, along with the simplified song versions that you cover, with two finger chords. The charm, and knowledge that you bring to us guitar enthusiasts is second to none. Keep up the great work Lauren.

[blakeneyadams]

Great lesson. When I saw the title, I said this lesson is for me. After the lesson began, I realized it was about the song not my standing as a guitar player!

[shorelinerach]

Thank you for you lessons. Your slow and understanding teaching makes me feel like a Rock Star for a moment. 🙂

[LukeA]

Thanks so much. Gleaning little tricks to use in all of the practice I do! Your teaching tech would be great even if I wasn't trying to learn guitar. Have a beautiful day.

There’s a bit more to that song than what I first thought. Well explained once again Lauren 👏🏼👏🏼👍

[eddielayman]

Super Awesome ! Instant connection to your captivating personality and style of teaching. Really glad I found your channel.

[inayatsama]

Yes thank you Lauren. Great lesson. Very helpful. 🤩🤘

[stoopotts]

Great lesson, Lauren! One of my favorite Neil Young songs, along with Heart of Gold!

[diggdiggy]

Amazing, you teach so many songs i grew up listening too. Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, Neil Young, Beatles, all classic songs and iconic bands. I was wondering if you can do some Cat Stevens, James Taylor, Bonnie Raitt songs. One of my favorite songs is Angel from Montgomery.
Thanks again for your wonderful teaching !

[leofernandez]

Just a side barre 😄, I love your minimalist, zen-like background! Helps me focus on the lesson. I don’t need to see the distraction, or intimidation of a teacher with 100 guitars in the background.

[Geddy]

This is wonderful... I can definitely hear it!!! I really hope you do do a tutorial for the fingerpicked version!!!

Neil Young arrived in the U.S. in the mid-1960s and co-founded the band Buffalo Springfield. He earned fame both as a member of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young (CSN&Y) and as a solo artist, writing and recording such timeless songs as "Old Man, " "Hey Hey, My My (Into the Black), " "Rockin' in the Free World" and "Heart of Gold"—a No. 1 hit. Nicknamed the “Godfather of Grunge” for his undeniable influence on that genre, Young is also a strong advocate for environmental and disability issues, as demonstrated by his co-founding of the Benefit for Farm Aid and the Bridge School Benefit Concerts. More than 50 years into his musical career, he continues to record and tour on a regular basis.


Thanks Teach.... 🍎
