    I'm learning so much doing these lessons. I've been noodling around on guitar for 50+ years, and plateaued about 40 years ago. Doing Andy's lessons has gotten me going again. I especially like the tab and sheet music to go with each lesson (follow his link in the description). That has inspired me to learn to read music, since I'm doing it in the context learning a song that I enjoy playing. In addition to this one, I've worked through ELP's "Still You Turn Me On", Paul McCartney's "Blackbird". and Pink Floyd's "Goodbye Blue Sky". Keep up the good work, Andy!

    As a 18 yo freshman at Purdue University in 1986 I was sorta lost coming from a small HS. I didn't have any friends really so to learn the campus my first weekend, I took a walk down to the levi where there was a record store and not even knowing who NY was.... I bought "Harvest". To this day I have no idea why I bought it, but I am soooo glad I did.
    It was the only album I personally owned. I didn't have much money so that was the only one I bought the entire year and I was pretty proud of it. I could not afford a new one, but I want to say I paid like $9 for a used copy. I had some of my dad's albums of The Eagles, Three Dog Night, CCR, Poco (lol), Bread ..... and a few more of the sort, but I played Harvest at least once a day. CD's were just hitting the market so albums were starting to get scarce, particularly good ones like an Apple cut.
    Damn if I didn't become an instant Neil Young fan. I am 55 now and still have that same album. I love it, but if I put vinyl on it is usually Decade or The White Album these days that hit the plate first. I love to play, but sometimes I just listen to your lesson and sing along whether I know how to play it or not. You do such a good job of recreating the songs...... I know this is old, but I still like going back through and hearing them again.

You are a fine teacher and such pleasant company of an evening when the family are away to bed and I can get my guitar out. Wishing you good health sir. Oh and I made a donation too yesterday.

  • @allanpennington
    @allanpennington Před 2 lety +4

    When I first taught myself this I fingerpicked the chords. On seeing this its helped me with a couple of things I could never work out on my own, particularly the part where Young slides up 11:07 . I also like the way Young gets a percussive beat on the down stroke of his strumming with a sort of chop or maybe palm mute.

  • @jimutley4366

    The descending bass line line on the D chord reminds me of Steve Winwood's " Can't Find My Way Home". As with that lesson I may tune down a whole step so I might be able to sing it too.

      @@juana1483 Neil and a guy Jeff Blackburn , Craviatto and Mosley( Moby Grape guys) would play in a barn at my cousins pear farm. There were so many great musicians in that area back in the 60's and 70's."Buck" Blackburn and Young wrote the song,"Out of the Blue." They called themselves The Ducks. Short lived band and Neil moved on but the music coming out of that barn somedays and nights bring me back to those times.
