Guitar Lesson: How To Play Eddie Vedder's Rendition of The Needle And The Damage Done

[@nunyabusiness1180]

Your tutorials are always awesome. Feel free to run through Neils entire catalog

[@RyanLendt]

thank you NYB :) that would be a MISSION!

[@ImNotOld_ImVintage]

I learned so many things watching this lesson. 1. Anyone that can play this from beginning to end has a way better memory than me. Between the chord structure and the fancy bits, whether arpeggiating or strumming, makes my head swim. 2. Anyone that can play it is alot better than me at guitar because my brain, left hand, and right hand all keep trying to do different things at the wrong times. 3. You're a better teacher than I am a student. And #4. You're terrible at looking lugubrious when teaching. You clearly enjoy it too much to look miserable. Cheers! Great lesson!

[@RyanLendt]

haha I am never going to forget the meaning of lugubrious now. That was a total free flow accident, but maybe i should start making this new word thing a thing...

[@QuirkoTheBirko]

Whow, I’d hoped I‘d find this song among your videos and here it is. Thank God (and patreon people)! It has therapeutic value as it can satisfy the nerd in me AND the cowboy.

[@RyanLendt]

haha perfect.

[@quiners9174]

Great treatment @Ryan Lendt. One of my favourite (favorite 😃) Neil Young songs! Thank you.

[@RyanLendt]

cheers Conor!

[@kylefletcher7924]

Crushed it as usual. I’ve been close to this one , but now i shall make it mine .... thanks!

[@RyanLendt]

:) that's what my 10th grade chemistry teacher always said. Make it yours.

[@klohr26]

Such a good lesson, thanks Ryan! This is such a fun song to play once you find that Uncle Neil groove. You cleared up so many of the finer points of this song in such short order.

[@RyanLendt]

why thank you Kevin :)

[@kabeermighlani7585]

Greaaaaaaaaaatt. I love Eddie and his rendition and the tutorials of Ryan.

[@RyanLendt]

an honor to be mentioned in the same sentence :)

Hey Ryan - how about doing Tell Me Why by Neil Young? It sounds like a really fun song to play. Hope all is well with the kitty. 😻

[@RyanLendt]

you were about 30 years ahead of me Juro :)

[@kolombijec]

@@RyanLendt haha.. i guess.. i must've been 15-16..and was enjoying every bit of that mtv and grunge era.. 🤘

[@toddcranston498]

You’ve taught me so much. This is next.

[@RyanLendt]

thanks for including me in your jams Todd

[@patprime7320]

Hoo boy. I am 100% unfamiliar with this tune. But it sounds quite lovely. Will give it a go for sure tomorrow, thank you kindly for the intro to.this.

[@RyanLendt]

you get a pass. just this once...

[@wok1977]

Good job... Thanx a bunch!

[@RyanLendt]

[@lilrig8112]

Love, Hate, Love solo! Please Ryan!

[@RyanLendt]

someday!

[@liamtwigg3995]

Hey Ryan! Any chance for a lesson on how to play Hello Its Late by Stone Temple Pilots? Hugely underrated, gets better with every listen and there are no decent tabs/guides anywhere, thanks :D

[@RyanLendt]

thanks for the STP request LT :)

[@corrupted6683]

Your videos are the best

[@RyanLendt]

thanks Russell!

[@eagles_s]

I always hear “You were meant for Me” by Jewel in this song.

[@RyanLendt]

I really gotta start up that "songs you love to hate/hate to love playlist...

[@enricofugazzi5206]

I play it with arpeggios from start to finish, but I can't sing over it. I should try to strum the chords to see if I finally can add this one to the campfire repertoire

[@RyanLendt]

I am forever impressed at how many songs you have learned to play

[@enricofugazzi5206]

@@RyanLendt how many songs I have re-arranged to play and sing at the same time. 100% sure I am not playing note by note, but it's fun and the times me and my friends sat near the fire at the beach were some of the best nights I ever had

[@eagles_s]

If you do that contest then “Hootie and The Blowfish” will be on the menu

[@RyanLendt]

they practically single handedly inspired the idea...

[@KowboyUSA]

First time I heard this song I was sitting in a shop getting a tattoo.

[@nickspencer1220]

Haha, very different type of needle...

[@RyanLendt]

i know you're lying because you promised me your first tattoo would be of my face

[@KowboyUSA]

@@RyanLendt 😂

[@dominicsedillo1980]

I will politely pretend this is the Marcy Playground version 😉 They are perhaps underrated acoustically.

[@RyanLendt]

I should probably do some of their stuff..

[@dominicsedillo1980]

@@RyanLendt well I’d dig it. Wouldn’t mind a little “Saint Joe on a Schoolbus”.

[@dominicsedillo1980]

PS: I LOVE fingerpicking. Maybe we'll trade licks one day sir!

[@AndyBigDaddyWilkinson]

I vote you grow your hair out...and then do CSN "Almost Cut My Hair"

[@RyanLendt]

does that come on right after "I gave birth and I didn't even know I was pregnant"?

[@AndyBigDaddyWilkinson]

@@RyanLendt Okay,,....Now...being from Boston....I recognize a sarcastic dig...But you lost me on that comment....ahahaha...Hey bro,,,,btw,, great sense of humor..,,great lessons....no rockstar attitude...Burden In my Hand lesson was right on...Thanks RL

@@RyanLendt You talkin Mama Cass?

[@johnzaranek8063]

Fun fact. this song is actually about a drunken tattoo artist

[@RyanLendt]

or a seamstress with a dark side...
