I could have really used this information * 50yrs * ago - THANKS !

[@jmorris9631]

LO ME too! (But more like 45 yrs ago) Been married for 33yrs. Might coulda picked up a couple more women before I took the plunge with that tune in my stable!

[@MaguireGuitar]

How true! But that is the same with 300 songs I could not play then. I wish all these tabs and tutorials were available then. I could have been a whole lot better!!

[@perkins1439]

Same here, man.I'm sixty three and I never knew half of the stuff on youtube I learned the Keith Richards open g tuning and Ran with it if only I had knew

[@michaelshearer3559]

Stephen Stills is such an amazing talent, guitars, vocals, writer. RIP David Crosby. Great work as always.

[@douginny]

I am 56 and heard this song easily over 1000 times. Never knew questions was a Buffalo Springfield song. Great lesson. Thanks

[@wingfeathers2]

How cool.. I subscribed.. thanks so much for showing this.

[@listairgin]

Another brilliant one from TFC! Thank you so much. Everyone should at the very least subscribe to this channel. 👌🏻🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠

[@TonyRamos2024]

Awesome lesson. Thank you.

[@melissa9375]

Halfway through the sessions for Deja vu, GN pointed out that they didn't have a SBJE to open the record - no Side One, Track One. Stills went home, wrote this and demo'ed it for them the next day. As before, with the 'Couch' album, he played most of it himself. Powerhouse.

[@jeffscott7266]

What a great song and you’re playing it most excellently!!!!Déjà Vu is my absolute favorite album by CSNY and Carry On was such an awesome album opener. 4+20 is a very favorite song I have sung and played for many moons now, Almost Cut My Hair - the title says it all!!!! I really enjoyed this segment you made. Thanks!!!! We could start a pretty cool band. I write originals like those good ole days. Check out Critical Thinking The Band - Daring To Be Human here on KZbin. It’s video is dedicated to our Native American brothers and sisters!!!

[@1039sflem]

Great lesson, just learned the acoustic, I’ll learn the electric tomorrow, Questions on acoustic is magical stuff.

[@shakeyblues5128]

Waking up to this is way better then looking at the snow coming down. Love Steven's open tunings. Top shelf 12fft ♪♫♪♫♪

Your “Yapping” is always so interesting. KEEP YAPPING!

[@jimzeleny7213]

You left out the absolutely BEST phrase found at 3:47-3:57 on the original recording. Done with distorted lead (probably Telecaster). Watched the Foxes and Fossils version of this song (lovely BTW) and was waiting for it but.....

[@1rwjwith]

Man was Stills innovative ! Great job.

[@michaelweiss6163]

Waited over 50 years for this. Thank you. Please show us more on how Stills plays his solos on other songs. My all time favorite song is The Treasure from Manassas.

[@merovechthe1st]

I just recently heard the Springfield song "Questions" after having never heard it...yet I knew almost all of the lyrics. Took me a minute to figure out where I'd heard those verses... Great lesson!

[@torstenkai9844]

Hey, that’s a great tutorial, thank you so much. It’s very nice to follow you along. And also thanks for the singing 🌞😊

[@donniet8953]

Man, you are good at what you do. Outstanding teaching skills! Thanks

[@jean-marcpetiot3794]

superbe ! wooden ships would be great too ; such a fantastic job from SStills on it! thanks for carry on.

[@patrickwilder6492]

Thanks !! I sing the high harmonies so it was fun singing along also !! ❤

[@JamItJohn]

Great song, Great lesson, Thanks

[@Billsingsong]

Love the one you’re with tuning: CGCGGC. Sweet Judy blue eyes tuning: EEEEBE. Four and 20 tuning: EEEEBE like sweet Judy blue eyes. Déjà vu tuning: EBDGAD. Let me know what you think of these tunings. You’re welcome!

[@Billsingsong]

What do you think of these right on tunings?

[@andriesscheper2022]

For me that song's iconic. Living my life I've lost a leg: "Rejoice, rejoice! We have no choice, but to carry on." Another one's 'A whiter shade of pale', from Procol Harum. Check out their perormance in Denmark, in 2006! Will give you goosebumps. 'Willin', by Little Feet should be mentioned. Skynyrds 'Ballad of Curtis Low' (a human being like Adam, who never existed). Mentioning balads: 'P.F. Sloan', by Unicorn is worthwhile, 'John Barleycorn' by Little Feet, a folksong that goes back to the middle ages. And then there are so many more, like Gary, Chat Baker, Jobim, Blues Brothers, Soggy Bottom Boys, and Muddy Waters, Hooker, Woolf and Hopkins, Sinatra, Cash, McClean, Birds, even Eagles, Animals and Hollies, Beatles, and Scorpions, Bread and Stones and Zappa, Hendrix and his motherf###ing Mothers of Invention, Steely Dan as well as Astrud, Ella, Holliday and Whinehouse, Vaughn and Bessy, Steelers wheel, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, Bowie. I would need rolls of paper to pay some credit to them all! Keep dreaming, 'cause it may safe our world and species, and try to stay safe yourself. Music will always be a blessing to our souls, what and where ever that may be... Rejoice... we have no choice... Just carry on. Find a coast of freedom, and love the ones you're with. ❤

[@brucehelppie6119]

carry on is probably my favorite csny song. there is a lot of depth to that song, you broke it down perfectly. now i have a better understanding of why the song appeals to me and is so great. fantastic breakdown of a great song!

[@pololekino]

Une des plus fantastique et envoûtante song jamais enregistrée ...

[@kmacdc4]

The best breakdown of this song. Funny, E flat ish. Perfect way to describe that tuning. I’m in a CSNY tribute. Loved this breakdown.

[@stringmantony]

Very nice lesson! Thanks so much.

[@rexmonarch2]

CSNY at the Greek Theater (Los Angeles) in August of '69, and Joni Mitchell opened -- unforgettable.

[@michaelbarbour9827]

I was today years old when I learned that Questions was a Springfield song. I’m 54. smh

[@12footchain]

I know, right? Here it is, and also look up the version on the Echo in the Canyon soundtrack, done by Jacob Dylan and Eric Clapton. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHXNnqB5q7l7bdE

[@dodgedandle8311]

It’s on the first Buffalo Springfield Album

[@1thommyberlin]

I remember when a friend who worked with Manassas showed me the 'Stills' chord. Apparently, XXXXXXX was involved, lol. Stills, he said, was a straight genius who was NEVER straight. I thought it was the craziest chord ever, and with a slight alteration is way fun with a bottleneck. Ok loved your video TFC, so I'ma climb aboard.

[@12footchain]

Welcome!

[@perkins1439]

I'll have to say. They kept all this secret very well. like open G

[@philrowan5608]

I’m glad I found your channel. Not only do you break down a song to a understandable level but you give extras like song, group and individual artist’s history. Plus, the artist’s line up is essential in rock guitar. Thank you so much for your time and effort. I would like to request a Lynyrd Skynyrd break down. Maybe Sweet Home Alabama. Hey dig rock ‘n roll, rock on.

[@michaelhalpert5518]

Suite Judy blue eyes is in e this is tuned down to an e flat

[@timgoodness9537]

I'm better than you

[@patf6957]

In addition to all strings, b excepted, down to e I believe everything is also down a half step? So, strictly speaking, e flat.

[@raymondreeder3274]

I'm confused is it e flat or e

[@SydneyGuidedTours]

E flat-ish

[@gchristopherklug]

I’d love to see you do a video about Woodstock from the same album. Any chance of that?

[@12footchain]

Yeah, good idea

[@gchristopherklug]

@@12footchain Neil's herky-jerky rendition is so memorable, it makes that song, IMHO. Love your channel!

[@rickc661]

Real good stuff. '4 way street' is the album I wish ' Let it be ' was - the guys playin with enthusiasm , revved up and in synch. Let it be had near none of that, oh well. of course C.S.N. Y. had way more problems as a band than the guys from Liverpool , with somewhat similar talent.

[@MiguelNunes-z3q]

Grate,grate,grate..really Top I love the song a the Tune..

[@rajjar52]

Why are you tuned a half step low? You seem to be tuned to Eb open not E open.

[@Billsingsong]

All strings tuned down to e-flat, except for the B string

[@Billsingsong]

As with carry-on, I’ll tune my six string to Eb all strings, except the second string, which is B-flat. Then I’ll use a capo on fret one for sweet Judy, blue eyes and 4 & 20. This way, I don’t have to keep changing tunings from E flat to E.

[@Billsingsong]

Love the one you’re with is a total difference tuning like I mentioned CGCCGC

[@Billsingsong]

I suppose love the one you’re with could also be played with the E flat, tunings or drop D

[@johnfosker7315]

Brilliant absolutely brilliant thanks

[@Billsingsong]

Actually, sweet Judy, blue eyes and love the one you’re with are two different tunings, then carry on.

[@DHgtr1]

Hi..Another Great job..Those guys were something else back then and You capture it Amazingly..Thanks....Dave

I used the video to learn the song AND I LOVED YOUR SINGING. The fallesto was wonderful. Please sing more!!! MORE SING!!!!

[@geezerbliz]

Jimmy absolutely ripped this one off for Friends!

[@Mark-dx8rr]

This is such an awesome song!! I gotta learn it, finally¡! Questions was done by Stephen with Buffalo Springfield, and he put it on this tune , excellent move.

[@williamcurtin5692]

Damn shame about how Stills essentially flamed out, apparently drink and drugs. He was much the better of the two when he and Young were in the Buffalo.

[@jimcrowell5093]

Great song no doubt you've got all the structure down pat just need about 4 other players to put it all together 😆 i use to do the acoustic 12 string part solo kinda tribute to CSNY then Judy blue eyes weird tuning wasn't used in much eles had a blast back then in mom and pop lil bars coffee shops loved solo venues but did alot of 3-4 peice rock bands you do some stellar teaching bro wish we'da had the web back then 😆 wore out a lot of vinyls lifting the tone arm figuring licks out🙄but that's how ys learnd yer licks😂yes i can read music but ear trained to the max

[@michaeld.mahoney9106]

Excellent lesson

[@Billsingsong]

Why did you choose a 12th St. guitar to do this? I’ve never seen Stephen Stills do it on the 12th it was always done on the sixth string.

[@12footchain]

I didn't have a good 6 string at the time, so I just strung 6 strings on my 12 string guitar.

[@Billsingsong]

@@12footchain it’s difficult tuning a 12th string in standard tuning, let alone in alternate tuning
