This is a classic Neil Young track. Awesome. Neil is just totally where it's at, even after all these years.

Great for working your arpeggiated pick strumming accuracy and just cool fun to play!

Buffalo Springfield Again

This is one of my personal favourite tunes by Neil Young, fun to play and loads of interesting things going on. Hope you enjoy it too!

Cinnamon Girl

I should have done this classic NY tune years ago - so much fun to play and not crazy difficult - and it rocks! It's in Double Drop D which is a nice tuning for roc...

Don't Let It Bring You Down

This is another Neil Young classic, proper mega tune and great fun to play! Tough one to sing, even with the lowered tuning but it's a great song! Tuning The tun...

Harvest

I'm a real big Neil Young fan and this is another of my favorites. The song is pretty simple, mostly open chords (but you do need a Bmin) and uses a really nice Cou...

Harvest Moon

One of my personal favourite NY ballads, it's lovely to play and a great one for learning playing the bass out as a separate kinda line.

Heart Of Gold

One of Neil Young's most popular songs, this is great fun to play and really cool one to start on if you want to explore the harmonica - just get yourself a G Major ha...

Helpless

This song is an example of not needing many chords to write an awesome song! Just beautiful. In this lesson I also do a cover at the end (starts about 19:30) with M...

Hey Hey, My My

Had loads of requests for this Neil Young masterpiece, really good fun to play this one, and uses his trademark technique, the continuous moving strumming hand!

Long May You Run

This is one of my all time favourite NY songs, great fun to play. Written about his car, I'd like to dedicate this to Malcolm Young from AC/DC.

Natural Beauty

Neil is my favourite songwriter/artist and I love doing his songs but I do get a bit obsessed about getting stuff right so I don't do his songs as often as I'd like or...

Old Man

Was amazed at how many requests I got for this song, I love it too, but hadn't realised what a huge song it is for so many. I guess many of us feel the sentiment for o...

One Of These Days

Man, this is a sweet song, so nice to play and the tuning makes it sound sweet and melancholic in equal measures. It's in Double Drop D tuning and has only two chor...

Out On The Weekend

This Neil Young classic, “Out on the Weekend,” has many of his trademark Neil Young features, some of which can be a bit challenging to master. That said, this is a gr...

Razor Love

Beautiful ballad here and pretty easy to play, just lovely.

Rockin In The Free World

Love this song! I've done the lesson on acoustic but I explain the parts for acoustic and electric too, really cool fun to play if you're in a band, long jamming solos...

Unknown Legend

I seem to go on a Neil Young binge at least once a year and this one is a personal favourite, really connects with me but not really sure why. Most important in thi...
