Tutorial based on this RU-vid live version: • Video
DADGBD Tuning (Double Drop D), though all strings are tuned up with 25%.
The medley is in the key of D.
Chords are shown but the medley is all about D, G, C chords and Gm7/Am7 with some riffing and ad libbing in between.
Have fun with these terrific Neil tunes!
Correction - the Gm7 & Am7 chords are played like this: 355333 & 577555 where i'm not really playing the bass (D & first) string/note.
Guitar introduction : 0:10 - 0:44
Tuning : 1:34 - 2:00
Song Demo : 2:00 - 6:29
Song Tutorial : 6:32 - 14:38
Clawhammer style version : 14:47 - 17:09

The brilliance of neil youngs simple yet haunting almost hypnotic acoustic work and lyrics combined with his voice is amazing looks simple but almost noone can achieve what he does with just a few simple acoustic chords and lyrics

Your tutorial unlocked this recording for me- not that I play it as well as you, but I am on the right path with it and appreciated your freeing me to improvise myself instead of trying to get each part exactly “right”. Thank you! Best tribute band name ever,too!

Great Job Cortez! You’ve got the Neil vibe going. Best acoustic version I’ve heard. I get that you are a BIG Fan too. I just learned this song because of you. Thanks dude.

He gets that BASE BEAT SO MAGICALLY ! And you get it to but all the other notes are a little loud. Drop double D makes a magic sound!!!

A big fan, Hello again, I have a new computer and youtube prime. I had to re-subscribe. That work you did on Hank is amazing! Thanks for all of your videos and spot on Neil's playing. I upgraded my guitarsenal to include a Furch Dread (red) and an Eastman AC622 (Sitka over Flamed Maple). I am practicing every evening and your videos are always in my rotation. Thanks, Bless and keep on Rocking Brother!

Neil playing slightly sharp for “cinnamon girl”, “old laughin lady” then slightly flat for “Ohio “ . He’s tuned slightly off this something Survivor used to do - they used to play slightly sharp listen to “eye of the tiger” or “can’t hold back”, also bands like Journey used to do this eg “don’t stop believin” This was a very 70s 80s thing to do. Probably discovered by tape to tape recording when the tapes can be slowed and belt width would make a difference to speed of play and changes the key. As fans who Neil is an analog head guy

@alantracy6757 8 месяцев назад

Yes Neil plays double dropped and slightly sharp and sometimes slightly flat - it’s quite fascinating nd always sounds unique

@tvann7712 7 месяцев назад

Hi, is this tuning called D modal or is it drop D but 25% higher on the middle strings ? I’ve heard Neil refer to D modal multiple times to play cinnamon girl. Even in the video your doing the tutorial on at the end

WOW..I took lessons for years and years, but my teacher was teaching Neil songs without the feel that I get here.Come to Nevada County for a concert someday! Leslie -:) and you need a tip jar!!

@TheRealLarryFisherman 8 месяцев назад

Thankyou! It sounds great. I’m just confused as to why Neil’s chord shape is different when he’s playing it live in that iconic video he’s playing in the folk music lounge place

@cortezcortez739 8 месяцев назад

Which chord? Could it be the G?

@TheRealLarryFisherman 8 месяцев назад

@@cortezcortez739 not sure tbh I’m kinda a beginner. But In the video he’s using his middle finger to do the pull offs and hammer ons and your using your ring finger

@ventreal4292 14 дней назад

@@TheRealLarryFishermando you mean the d chord because Neil’s plays it with his pointer and ring finger then uses his middle for the hammer ons and pull offs, and in this lesson he uses his pinky and pointer fingers for the d chord and ring finger for the hammer ons and pull offs

Great video Thankyou, but how come I can’t do the harmonic chord on 7th fret?? Does my guitar just suck?

@cortezcortez739 11 месяцев назад

Hi, no every guitar can produce harmonics. Be sure you are in DADGBD tuning, then put one of your fingers over the 7th fret (over the metal), don´t press down but very lightly touch all the 6 strings with your one finger. Then lightly strike all the six strings with your strumming hand. I hope it works

Take a digital tuner. Or with an app on your smartphone. I use Pano tuner, which is free.

@stevesassano5047 2 года назад

Your guitar is out of tune. The D is sharp and likely the others. Also never sand down your top because it is dry wood which soaks up the new finish and the tone is flat. It may sound good to you but 40 years in this business and I have seen and played thousands of guitars and have learned a lot. Talk to a professional luthier before you do things like that.

@cortezcortez739 2 года назад

Well I had a look/listen. It's not out of tune relatively but it is indeed not in standard tuning. This was cbanged so people could play along to the Neil Young version of this song (see link to youtube). The sanding of the top mod is only a mod that i would do on this type guitar, definitely not a real Martin ;).
