These are the best songs for an amature guitarist like myself, easyish with a very recognizable chord progression, and everyone knows the words, so I don't have to sing. I've learned a lot of them like that from you.

[@justinguitar]

:)

[@elephantal]

You wrote this comment 6 years ago. How has life changed for you since then, Martin? Are you still strumming guitar? Any progress? Any major changes in your life since then?

[@randycramer7273]

You do Neil Young songs very well vocally, and this video sounds great. Thanks for another awesome tutorial, and all that you do Justin.

[@charley6076]

Thank you u help me understand how to play this song better.🎸🎸

[@merkyh2o]

Justin your G chord is sadomasochistic LOL but I watched Neil Young and that is how he forms the chord. Im getting it but after playing the G with 1,2 and 3 finger for so long its a stretch. Love your instruction. Once I get through the second module I will likely become a paying student. I am one of those guys who have had a guitar for over 40 years but it spent too much time leaning against the couch. Been back at it for three or four months. Been using your course for a couple months, switched over from the Fender course which is not a bad program but yours is just better. I love that I can learn so much online now at my pace without a wunderkind instructor glaring at me because I did not get something the first 30 or 40 times I tried LOL. Big thanks! 😎

[@buzzlightyear1191]

Justin’s got a heart of gold

[@flooter52]

Been playing Neil young songs since I was 16 in 1970. Happy to see you sharing these old classics. If you play Neil young or Bob Dylan or just play Acoustic guitar , learning the harmonica is a must.

[@mattboscan]

Justin, you are a total dude.

[@ricardosotosan2279]

Damn I just came across this channel. He's badass.

Ricardo Sotosan you’re in for a treat.

[@lepetitprince2188]

Same here.I was like wow.

[@InspirationSessions]

One of the best tutorials I’ve ever found for one of the best songs I’ve ever found

[@Rookblunder]

Wow all this time I've been singing ''I want to live'' , when it's '' I want to C''....... :) Thanks for lesson. Well appreciated.

[@karendalsadik7119]

huh?

[@lorenza2589]

What?

[@boltman2u2]

Hahaha

[@numby1027]

@@karendalsadik7119 ​ @Lorenz A When justin sings, he always change the word of the song into chords (C here as an example) so it's easier for Us begginers to know wich chords he uses

[@jamesmcloughlin9404]

Peter if you want the lyrics you can Google

[@jigarchavda2045]

I thought neil young was searching for heart of gold now i know he was searching for G of gold. Thanks Justin.

[@fredkester6130]

Outstanding is the word. Nobody pays this much attention!

[@storminthedistance]

Sounds like Neil Young is right in your wheelhouse. Great job. Cheers

[@justinguitar]

I'm a big fan!

[@stuartwills2419]

My son who was 11 at the time, played this on my white Strat at a school talent contest.... and won, one of the proudest days of my life 😊

[@antonyjerome7478]

Singing the chords = genius teaching!

[@MK-it7wk]

Another great lesson. I love how you always offer little tips and tricks you simply wouldn’t get reading normal tabs. Very useful for a beginner.

[@Fevril85]

Justin is the best tutor in KZbin..It's very clear and accurate! Easy to learn.Thank you so much Justin! Your the MAN!🎸😊🎖🏅❤🎼🎵🎶♩🎙🎧

[@slawkasimpson6622]

Great lesson, thank you Justin

[@samuelmusic5017]

geeze, when i opened this i thought you were playing the original recording over the video! great work!

[@elijahmonn3757]

Wow I never knew you played harmonica as well. Man you are talented. You are the only teacher on KZbin that I buy their products. I have your beginners book. And have purchased your note trainer and metronome apps. I love the note trainer. Could you please post a lesson how to use your metronome. It has some confusing features. Well to me. I like that you post your videos on yt without hooks to get money. Karma is how you make money. People like you and your teaching style. And consequently buy freely your products. The world needs more people like you. Cheers Justin from NZ

[@cbyam1300]

As always Justin, a great tutorial. You have inspired me to get my old guitar out of the cupboard, dust it down, restring it & get playing again. Thank you !

[@larrygeetar9309]

Justin ~ I cannot say enough good things about your lessons. There are so many pros and amateurs doing this but you are the best at breaking things down and sim- plifying them. As a teacher myself, I appreciate your approach and that you always emphasize the feel and rhythm of music. It is the most important thing in playing and learning HOW to play. Knowing what to play is one thing, but that has to be coupled with knowing how to play it. This is the best tutorial on Heart Of Gold I have seen. I have been a pro for over 50 years and I'm still learning stuff, too. It's one of the greatest things about a journey in music - there's always something new to learn. Thank you!

[@maccafan007]

Awesome job with the harmonica Justin!!!!!!!! deadly!!!!!!!!!! I love your teachings! You keep things light and you have just enough PRO stuff to offset the other....awesome job!

[@Haki4th]

Are we seing beggining of Justin harp lessons after guitar and uke? :D Would be fun

[@justinguitar]

might do a few as lotsa people asking :)

[@rcflyer40plus1]

One of my favorite songs. Thank you so much for the detailed lesson.

[@skunkfromcamden]

I'm really happy seeing you paying tribute to one of the greatest. Thank you very much for sharing with us.

[@marcvillalobos8697]

Dude, you know just how to make a good guitar-lesson video. Everyone else, it seems, starts off with a long-winded introduction; tells what they're going to do and end up taking so much time before they finally get started. Usually I fast forward the needless rhetoric right to the actual lesson. Then, afterward, if I feel I need to hear instructions, I simply go to the beginning. Just now, I wanted to learn this song and I skipped every video starting off with talking. But, you did it perfectly! Thank you. Now, I can listen to you with an open ear. Hopefully, all of your videos are done in this fashion. Maybe everyone else will catch-on... For now, yours are the videos I will seek. Thanks again and keep up the good work!

[@bootes2227]

My finances aren't great but I had to donate again after this lesson. Being able to play this gives me more pleasure than anything else I could have done with the same money. Keep well. Neil Young Tragic

[@justinguitar]

Appreciate the support and good vibes Bootes!

[@Miaou12]

Justin's just one of the best guitar teacher you'll find online, aside from being a nice dude!

[@jonrom100]

dude you're just a nice guy to learn from....cheers!

[@FrYy55]

My new favorite teacher! Thank you so much Justin! You're such a sunshine! ;)

[@flintdavis2]

Can’t wait to learn this one. My one and only favorite Neil Young song! Thanks Justin.

[@markbryson86]

Your the best teacher anyone can have justin, I always enjoy your lessons mate, I'm finding some things on my own but your the bridge between me and half a song , thanks again and you must live a good life with all the good karma your getting for helping others so selflessly

[@pinkpillow16]

Wonderful! Thank you!

[@juiellineau]

Great job! I remember this song back in 72-73ish. I would turn the radio up as loud as my mom would let me. I live in Toronto and Neil has played here many times. One time in the 70's I saw him do a 3 hr. show at Maple Leaf Gardens which was all acoustic then he brought out some others at the end to finish off. He did that before anyone did all acoustic shows. One of my all time fav's that I've seen many times. Thanx for your vid and keep up the great work.

[@richardhumby8704]

Thanks once again Justin.

[@rayferg4996]

Always an accurate and stellar lesson--the best on youtube! thank you again for helping me get better!

Great Song Justin! Thank you for the fantastic lesson.

[@guloguloguy]

FANTASTIC!!!! This is a great lesson on this tune!!! Thanks!!!

[@olderendirt]

Heart of Gold and 500 Miles were 2 of the first songs I learned back in the 70s as a pre-teen. Still good songs. Very nice tutorial, Justin. Thanks!

[@michaelcastro6731]

Thank's for the guitar lesson Justin. I initially picked up the chords when I was messing around on the guitar, I would love to really play it well. I think I can now Thanks to you.

[@MelTuly]

Thank you so much . I love this song so much and you play it beautifully. Thank you !

[@Sypreo]

Dude, you are the absolute best! Thank you so much for all your videos! You really keep me going. Because of you i already bought a UKE and now i'm gonna buy a G Harmonica. You make me better everyday!

justin you are trully a Jewell. my favorite songs are 90% of the songs you are teaching Glad you are here and Glad KZbin has evolved to this great multimedia tool that it is. Learning my youth songs with new brain plasticity. Thank you so much Justin. Keep it up and please keep it free

[@GregorPapez]

Amazing job Justin! Just awesome...

[@darrenquinn7738]

Great lesson. Thank you

[@rosaliebernabe9770]

This is already 7 years ago, but from you, this video I've learned how to play this song.

[@jogmas12]

Yeah but that G chord bothers me. If I let the lower E string ring out it don’t sound right, especially if you are singing along with it or even playing along with the actual recording. So I don’t and it sounds better. You?

[@elijahmonn3757]

Great lesson. Easy to follow. Good camera angles. I like you singing out the cord changes. The harmonica part is on KZbin, it is fairly simple. Apart from some hitting of two notes at the same time. Learning Harp, I have spent a lot of time avoiding this :) Thank you, Justin

[@joeyandmaggie]

64 dislikes ! that is mind boggling ! this Justin is arguably the best instructor you tube has ever seen, just don't understand people !
