Hey friends, new Neil Young lesson for you today! This one dives into his 1972 classic The Needle and the Damage Done, the second-to-last track from his album Harvest. This one is a bit challenging, but an absolute joy to play once you've fully learned it.
The entire song uses a single chord progression, but Neil puts together an amazingly distinctive riff you hear during the first 8 measures. It will require some mastery of alternate picking and "targeting" specific strings -- but as I said, it's a pure joy to play after you've put in the practice. I'll walk you through everything, step by step (including the verse strumming and the E-fill Neil plays at the end of each verse).

Loved the structure of this lesson. You made it so easy to quickly pickup especially since I had always assumed it to be way more difficult. Keep doing what you do.
Thanks for taking the time to teach us.
Sure thing!
I love this song and your tutorial is awesome! Your tabs & detailed explanation on how to play songs are the best of any site I've seen! Thank you!
Thanks Steve! So glad they’re helpful.
Nice, I'm always amazed at the quality of the tutorials on CZcams.
You got it all goin on, thanks so much.
Thanks so much! Glad they’re appreciated.
CZcams finally informed me of you after a year of watching guitar tutorials. Insanely detailed compared to others. Thank you!
You have a real talent in the way you teach. Very helpful.
David, you have done a marvellous job here.
David... I had no intention of ever learning this song, but after watching and playing along to this video, I now have to. Keep up the good work! I also really enjoyed "The man who sold the world" and "Summertime".
Excellent lesson - thank you so much! I’ve struggled to get this song sounding right for ages and this has cracked it for me 😊
Very good lesson! Your style is easy to follow. Much appreciated!
Very fine playing and excellent instruction. Keep up the great work!

Another great Neil Young song. Can you do "Like a Hurricane" ? Really enjoy your lessons.
Great job, I am using fingersstyle. It's much easier for me than with a pick.
Can you make a video on your process of learning a new song? Im relativly a beginer (only been playing for almost 2 months) and am getting into more intermediate(ish) songs like black smoke rising by greta van fleet and want to see what you do to learn songs so i can learn songs faster and easier. You content has been helpful to get me started off on guitar. Thanks!
Hey it would be amazing if you could try homeward bound by S&G or canter by gerry C
Bill Goerdt's been playing that song since before we were in college studying music here in Iowa. Is he still in the Austin area? He finger picked it on a Washburn that he bought new.
Can you do a lesson on a song called Funny how time slips away by willie nelson ?
Cool video could have been delivered in half the time thou
To much explanation causes confusion. Js.
Thanks for the feedback - I included the tab at the very beginning for folks who just wanna pause and rock with that - Neil can be tough to explain in a simple way! This is the best I could do.
@@songnotes There are those of us who are a little OCD and appreciate all your attention to detail. I look forward to your well thought out and explained lessons! Great work! 👍🏻
