[@carletoncandis635]

That ending riff is the icing on the cake

[@brucewayne3602]

with a million cherries ............

[@yankeelawdog]

I've been around a while and I have NEVER seen anyone who can get every song you cover absolutely, perfectly correct. Amazing really.

[@brucewayne3602]

BEYOND BLOODY BRILLIANT JJ ... damn amazing !!!

[@brucewayne3602]

absolutely incredible !!!

[@Nick3fldcrd]

JAMES JAMES!!!!!! THE MAN WITH NO FACE!!!!

[@philipheying4902]

I can't believe it. You just taught me how to play this song. A childhood dream come true. And I can sort of even play it, though, not even distortion can hide my multitude of sins... As I was watching your video I got to wondering what it was like for Neil Young to write it... Your lessons lead me to a much deeper appreciation of what it took to invent these cultural landmarks... And, as always, your incredible understanding of them and ability to translate them is the portal... gratitude to you.

[@scottca9780]

If I went deaf I'd still keep watching your videos for the shirts.

[@JohnLueckenotte]

and guitar collection!

[@Ystadcop]

Is that Farah Fawcett Majors? Wow, what teeth.

[@davidshort8974]

But the FF shirt, thanks to “That70’s Show” I am waiting for her to say “ Baby!Baby!Baby!Baby!”

[@philmann3476]

Teeth weren't the best part...

[@70snuttodd95]

I've learned so much from you over the years! If I saw you walking down the street, I would give you $1000 for all of your incredible help! I wouldn't recognize you by your face, but I would recognize you by your very distinctive shirts that you wear. Thank you!

[@Sms68]

[@5150show]

Nice

[@northeastqueenstptp5652]

Hi James James you’re awesome I’m learning all you’re Beatles songs you posted my teacher likes you too Rock onnnnn 👍

[@thetruth2375]

Been playing guitar since garage band club days, and I hate social media posting, but you are gifted with an amazing ear and command of the fretboard, and have solid rhythm playing, such a under appreciated skill in this era of shredders. May I ask you who where your influences? And thank you for bringing back great memories and motivating many of us out there to keep the fire.

[@jamesjames9275]

If I cared about the number of subs, maybe it would be double. :)

[@pixelatedparcel]

The Truth Hey, man. Am new to guitar (+- 1 year) and my focus is rhythm guitar but have found it really difficult to find stuff that gets into the details of the art. I'm not necessarily talking about time, accenting and dynamics but the finer details of harmony and melody while strumming. In other words, tone choice while strumming instead of just indiscriminate strumming of all strings or the garden variety string grouping on the beat and the off-beat. This JJ guy recently posted something precisely along those lines but I was wondering if you could turn me on to anything similar as we share the same interest for rhythm guitar and you are more experienced than I am. If not, could you suggest a few rhythm guitarists a novice like me might benefit from studying? I understand you aren't into social media posting but any insight would be appreciated. I'd ask this JJ guy but, as he used to have another even more popular channel, he's probably flooded with all types of questions. I mean, I understand that fundamentally it is a question of developing your ear while listening and while playing so that you can be more discriminate in tone choice as technique improves but just wondered if there might be some useful guidelines...

[@silvrmanewjrockz2649]

Before garage..there were those guys. You know, the guys in your neighbirhood who guarded the Holy Grail guitar licks to the death. You, James, are not one of those guys. You gracefully share your skill and I dig it.

[@jamesdinnan4726]

@@jamesjames9275 If I go, there will be trouble And if I stay it will be double

[@brucewayne3602]

what is beyond brilliant ---- of-course - JJ !!!

[@listairgin]

So cool as always James. Thanks 🌌💕🌠☘️.

[@Metalcop5150]

Outstanding, as usual. You do the best job, nailing the same tone, as the original artist. That is truly a gift, along with your playing!!

[@jarvest]

Nice shirt!!! Is she your cinnamon girl? 😎 Seriously, great song, great performance, precious guitar. I can not choose just one record from Neil. I like his Acustico, his electric and many things that make me excited. Long life to Neil and that the rust does not attack him. greetings from Spain.

[@StashRiders]

I gotta say this is spot on. Thank you.

[@909One92]

Good grief is this ever FUN! I can’t believe I’m playing this! Thanks!

[@franksullivan8317]

What a great guitar man great job. You got all theses song s down. Keep rock in

[@MikefromAlabama]

Thanks a bunch. I've been wanting to learn this song. You are great for us old players who want to learn our childhood classic rock tunes.

[@robbiecrites4683]

Awesome ! Shirt ! And lesson! Farrah Corpus Christi girl. My hometown play to live live to play learn a new song everyday!

[@dongillette2759]

Been playing this song for 47 years but watched this video 8 times for the Farrah shirt. The Gretsch is sweet, though--it comes in second.

[@jamesjames9275]

It's a distant second.

[@patrickwhitehead9931]

Been trying to figure this song out for many years but never seemed to quite figure it out. Little did I know, its tuned to DOUBLE DROP D . Thanks for that little tidbit, it made all the difference in the world. Liked and subscribed just because of that !

[@markmarkofkane8167]

Sounds beautiful!!

[@silkcustoms520]

Awesome as usual. Wicked G6. The Sound is Dead on !!

[@lonerwiththecamera]

Great lesson, and that tone you have is killer.

[@RickyPisano]

What a fun song to play. Thank you!! Great lesson.

[@stewartshelburne2680]

Dang.....your rendition is "Perfect"...love the Gretsch and excellent job, love this song

[@victoryridin]

Well done Sir! This is one song I want to master on the guitar and you my friend played this one spot on.

[@2012thestoner]

james james has saved me alot of time , thank you brother!

[@HRpuffnstuff23]

Excellent and I love the Gretsch

[@Mike-1965]

Great lesson... beautiful guitar!

[@Ben180173]

Good God! What a beast of a guitar!! Great lesson!!

[@strummer50]

Thanks for this. I was playing around with an acoustic version of this. Great tune and a great job

[@TroubadourJuggernaut]

man you played that perfectly !! wow

[@hurdygurdyguy1]

That. Is. A. Nice. Nice. Gretsch!!! Great tutorial... I'm adapting it to a 3 string cigar box guitar and yours helps a lot!!!

[@leehanson1416]

Nice. Play it that way every gig. Follow it up with "Shine".

[@glenndiamond9882]

Thank you for this and many other lessons you have done. I admire your talent, the way you share your knowledge with others, and of course your awesome guitar and t-shirt collection :-) I hope your generosity on youtube is rewarded with many blessings in your life. Rock On!

[@TikiWarrior]

Neil's overdrive sound is insane! I think he uses something called a "whizzer". Your black flacon is sounding real close, great one JJ, thanks for taking the time to break this song down !

[@chalyjudge7749]

Excellent video! Thank you! 👍😎

[@andyhawaii2819]

Love the guitar and the shirt

[@matthill887]

Just started playing 3 yrs ago took bluegrass lessons but wanted to play other songs.i found u about a month ago just want to say thank u for all the songs to play along with! Just subscribed will be watching and playing thank u.

[@LarryLane07]

Awesome tone!

[@1cleandude]

Great playing and tone PT; thanks!

[@Maximus-HK]

Excellent lesson, Sir! Many thanks - it's a crackin' song which, for me, typifies Neil's style and sheer individuality for he is, without a doubt, a phenomenal guitarist, amongst many other things. Cheers and beers!

[@kiddmetric]

Awesome!!

[@williamdon3442]

What a beautiful instrument. Wow

[@pjbsailing]

I keep coming back to this lesson because it's the best.

[@jimmysegovia2688]

Dang man thank you for sharing you are really awesome man!!!!...

[@itisaporsche]

I appreciate learning a few songs from you. Especially this one. Quite easy actually..after hearing you explain it. Sounds great on my LP but love your new Gretsch...

[@Groucho-tg1tx]

Love the shirt!

[@tim2468]

Brilliant!

[@anthonyward8587]

Nice job man..all the best from Oz..thanks for all your hard work..tw

[@JohnLueckenotte]

Nice - just got my first Gretsch! It's reinvigorating my playing!

[@terryadams3489]

Great lesson Thank you( Absolutely gorgeous Gretch)

[@jeffsadon552]

I met Farrah when I was 16 in 1979

[@jamesjames9275]

Jeff Sadon I met Jacilyn Smith in 1983. Now we just have to find someone who met Kate Jackson.

[@RobertLane78]

I ran into Rondstat and Brooke Shields in LA my 1st trip, does that count?

[@jimfitzgerald6510]

All i can add is that i looked at that poster enough as a kid to know exactly what’s behind that guitar.

[@Sms68]

Jeff Sadon No lie, The 1st celebrity I ever met was Mr. Bentley from the Jeffersons. He sat at our table at a Comedy Club in NY bc there were no seats left. He was by himself. It was Hilarious !

[@michaelgallagher3640]

I meet Randy Jackson

[@TheClagga96]

That Gretsch looks awesome!! :D

[@Equalizer58]

Very nice lesson! I love the Gretsch Black Falcon Players Edition (probably because I own one too). It is a Tone King .. and you do it proud. Nice T-shirt as well! Thanks for the excellent lesson. (Double Drop D … I wasn’t going to figure that out on my own.)

[@barclay3160]

Thanks for this lesson. Helps a lot. Same tuning as Lady Jane by the Stones. Enjoy your beautiful Black Falcon!

[@jeanhogle2870]

Thank you much and your profile picture rocks. 11/11.

[@tweedguitar9103]

[@garyjohn316]

[@leonardgreco1858]

[@dbrew2u]

[@tylersweet5994]

Great lesson! Thanks! :-)

[@DanStratocaster1]

I would be street performing all the time if I could play like that.

[@pbourget]

[@Twinkie1960]

[@derek3logan]

Dude, you always seem to amaze me! I'm a better guitar player because of your lessons. Kudos!

[@kevincummings632]

Great guitar..Greater shirt..so 70s.

[@normannoriega9557]

Kick ass james

[@TypicalGirls]

I knew it! Thanks.

[@s2studlys2]

That black Falcon of yours is beautiful JJ

[@onemoregod]

Nice sounding guitar.. I bought the cheap model and pretty surprised of how good it sounds. I’ll try this song on it.

[@andrewptob]

New toy? Great-looking guitar.

[@seancrapola]

I think every late 70's teen boy had that Farrah poster on his wall.

[@ledflaplin2001]

Nice Black Falcon! When did you get that bad boy? How do you like it?

[@jamesjames9275]

ledflaplin2001 Just got it this week. I'm a big Gretsch fan and I love this one.

[@RickyPisano]

Noticed the Teisco on the wall behind you. Is that a '69? I've got one too except mine is a 6 string. The microphone pickups on it are crazy. I had one when I was like 10 years old. Came across one a few years ago and had to have it!! Beautiful Gretch BTW bro!!

[@csnymoodiesfan]

Great job! I was wondering what kind of distortion pedal you’re using.

[@tubesrule123]

ANOTHER great LESSON! Gonna try it out on my Brian Setzer tonight. Question: Where do I send the killer bottle of Wine as Thanks for all the lessons?

[@donheller231]

Great lesson for double drop. D tuning !
