[@mikebrown1741]

Thanks for the lesson. There's also an easy pinch harmonic effect on the high e string at the 12th fret after the E chord and at the 7th fret after the E chord.

[@Dex619]

@@mikebrown1741 Would that pinch at 7 be after the A chord?

All the guitar lesson’s on KZbin, you are far the best I’m 60 and I follow you thank you😊

[@LaurenBateman]

You are welcome!

[@CarlWinter-oy8uf]

Thankyou --very kind of you --will do --(Watched Neil Young playing back then -1968---now Neil old !)

[@LaurenBateman]

Thank you for watching!

[@star1970usa]

Lauren, you are the best guitar teacher I ever came across. You make very easy to understand for beginners, I wish I knew you when I started. I had weekly privite guitar lessons for about 1 year, I remember how confused and hard it was. You are gifted!

[@LaurenBateman]

Aww thank you

[@CarlWinter-oy8uf]

@ 74--I still struggle with those old songs ---but I never give up!

[@LaurenBateman]

Keep playing and always have fun!

[@KatieManiaci]

My all-time favorite song

[@LaurenBateman]

Thank you for watching!

[@TxGrandMother]

Can you teach these two songs, Snow blind friend by Stepping wolf and Needle and the damage done by Neil Young. I find your style awesome 🙂👍

[@LaurenBateman]

Needle & The Damage Done is such a great song.

Thanks a million!

[@sayatoth]

Hello, thanks for tutorial! Could you please put everything together and play at once? 👏🏻

[@LaurenBateman]

Will have to do a play along track.

[@sayatoth]

@@LaurenBateman would be fantastic

[@markusantonious8192]

Just a suggestion: It would help imho to play the song in full both in the intro...and then again at the end of lesson....just so beginners can see and hear the song played as an integral whole.

Thanks, Lauren, I've been struggling with strumming patterns for this song. Honestly I was trying to make it too hard. The simple patterns here sound great. BTW I'm using my Gretsch Electromatic 🙂

[@TheWild_Living_Nature]

I alternate finger picking/ my thumb & middle finger while pentatonics or licks-kinda struggle with and actual pick

[@TheWild_Living_Nature]

You play with your pick between thumb and middle finger!! I’ve never noticed that..

[@carlossalles..319]

muito legal

[@beachgirl3417]

That was really fun adding the various strumming patterns with the song. However, I couldn't sing and strum simultaneously. Quite similar to the first time trying to rub your tummy and pat your head at the same time. 😄 I'm not giving up though

[@LaurenBateman]

You can do it! Just take your time and keep on practicing :D

[@maxsambucca2502]

Hi Lauren, I've just started my guitar journey. I find your lesson brilliant. Thank you Tony from the UK

[@LaurenBateman]

You're very welcome :D

[@bill2066]

HI LAUREN! Liked and subscribed. Question: many teachers (on and off of KZbin), seem to emphasize (over emphasize?) specific strumming patterns (and picking, etc..) when performing a Cover. Personally, I believe someone can pick and or strum a song any way that they feel comfortable doing,. I've been playing for so many years, that learning another picking/strumming style seems a bit like re inventing the wheel. But its a Conundrum that I find myself in when learning covers because I feel "Lazy" (or whatever) and guilty (etc..) when I feel like I "MUST" learn it in that particular style , etc.. (like this song). But That is what makes a cover more "you", then the original artist, etc. What are your thoughts on this subject? Thanks much.

[@LaurenBateman]

I agree wholeheartedly! On KZbin I give specific patterns because that's what most students want or need to start

[@kurtulmak529]

I am tremendously over joyed to have found this video! Thank you for such an amazing lesson. I've trying for a few days to get this song down and this video helped make it happen.

[@kendavis8046]

I've always heard, for some reason, the little riff as C to C# hammer on, then an E on the D string, then a bend on the G on the E string. All that said, music is wonderful and just what you make of it!

Hey thanks Ken. I'd have to listen to it again.

Surely those 12 th fret and 7 th fret harmonics are an essential part of this song (in between the strumming ) clearly heard on the original intro --most guitar teachers include it -----!

[@Dex619]

So far I've seen different chords on the lyrics "goin' down". I've seen recommendations that chord will stay on the A, go to the D, or go to the C. I play a G. Can someone ask Stephen Stills? All options sound okay. My least favorite is staying on the A.

[@LaurenBateman]

Pick whichever you like best

[@Dex619]

@@LaurenBateman I've been using G, but the C sounds just as good. Don't like staying on A. Of course those that hear you play won't notice it anyway.

[@LaurenBateman]

Hi Rachel, awesome. Let me know how it goes. I've been driving my wife crazy learning the intro to Jolene. They get used to it after a while. LOL

[@shorelinerach01]

Jolene is an awesome song and seems super hard. Good luck with getting the intro down as I'm sure you will. One thing that would be encouraging is to let us know how you go about learning your songs and how long it actually takes. We newbies think we should have a song down in a few days. Loll

Like your basic idea

[@jesseross6029]

Quick question. When switching from E to A has anyone considered using fingers 2, 3 and 4 for A instead of 1, 2 and 3? I find it easier personally -- just remove 1st finger from the E chord, drop the other two fingers down and add the 4th finger. Just a thought.
