Neil Young- Cortez the Killer

When I lost my first wife Maria to cancer, this song spoke of the loss so powerfully. Cancer was the Cortez that took her away from me. The song speaks to my soul like nothing else could to capture Maria's loss.

When Neil Young plays something, he plays with so much juice that it makes you feel like he's playing for YOU personally. Not many performers can project like that. He is incredible...and his guitar playing is totally unique...brilliant. The man says more with one note and that Bigsby that a million others can with a million notes. Nobody sounds like Neil Young.

Nothing beats hearing him play this live in front of you , but this version is as good as it gets. Saw Neil in 85 in Sydney. This song was an encore to an absolutely superb concert.

[@gwales]

Neil always plays the song, rather than the guitar - every note serves the emotion of the song. I don't think he cares about 'technical mastery'. He is still an awesome player, and one of my favourite guitarists, because of the emotional richness and subtlety of his playing.

[@vulcanalberta5189]

One of my friends said this about Neil's guitar work, and huge fan that I am, I chuckled but had to admire the truth of it: When I think about Neil Young soloing on his guitar, I picture him wrestling with electricity; sometimes he's winning, sometimes he's losing, but it's always epic.

[@oppothumbs1]

In my top 10 songs. The Live Rust version is the best I've heard, this is a little tepid. The best song Neil did was "I've been Waiting for You" but only in the studio is the song great. The claim that “Hate was just a legend. And war was never known” is absolutely not true. Remember, we call it the Aztec Empire for a reason. You see, empires are not, by their very nature, peaceful. They're expansionist political entities that are constantly pushing their borders outwards adding new territories and peoples through war and diplomacy. The Aztecs warred against smaller tribes, they made them their vassals, forced them to pay tributes, and took people from them to offer them in sacrifice to their god of war by ripping their hearts out while the victims were still alive and then eating them. How's that for the peaceful, serene, child-like stereotype of the “Indian”? Do you really think around 600 Spaniards conquered an empire of 5-6 million all by themselves? Of course not, those 500 Spaniards had the help of thousands of Natives (up to 100.000) who rebelled against their Aztec oppressors/enemies and of a smallpox outbreak that took out half the population (that's the big genocide of the American people, by the way, Old World diseases the New World natives had no immunity against, some claim it might have wiped out up to 90% of the population).

Im here too. Epic

My love for Neil started as a late teenager. My first time seeing him was with Booker t and the mg's. His music has such depth, meaning, and feeling. Your mind wanders to a better place in times of trouble . The wind blowing through your hair , the smell of weed in the air. It's a time away from reality. Thank you Neil young and crazy horse. Your legend will live on forever.

@Eilean Thank you for the cheers and incredible love. How are you today?

[@CatsSands]

It's not all about how many notes you can hit in a 4/4 beat. With Neil it has always been about the passion, the emotions. This fantastic song makes me think of many things, some sad, some happy. It grips me and takes me away. Thank you Neil for all your music that I grew up with buying every album then figuring out all the songs on guitar. Be well my friend.

Many guys go off on a guitar break to show off and end up doing something for them, but he goes "crazy" without ever leaving the song for a moment. I love how every wild improvisational note is still part of the song. He plays all over, and finds an amazing range, it raw and dirty... but never leaves the song.

2+ million views, and honestly less than one million of those were me. The master at work - do not disturb! If this performance doesn't make you emotional, then you probably have no soul.

This video keeps my page alive with it's traffic. Thanks for your visit. I wish I could monetize this but that would not be fair to Uncle Neil.

[@beale.8049]

I felt like I was his guitar when I was playing Cortez with my tears of emotion like the flow of the notes. I love you Neil, I wish I could have been your friend to share this magic. You play the guitar as you and you guitar are one. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for what you bring to me since I first heard old man and that was it, until I die Neil you will remain with me. ♥️
