Helpless by Neil Young | Easy Acoustic Guitar Lesson

[@fritzruttimann1517]

For sure one of the best tutorials on "Helpless" available on YT. Because, Justin is showing so many different ways in different keys to play it and how to spice the song up.

[@JustinGuitarSongs]

Thank you!

[@DeadDiverDan]

I have been playing a lot of Neil Young for years and years. But at my age now ,I can't keep singing as high as Neil does. Especially this song. Very frustrating, but when I seen this post "BOOM" it blew my mind. Now I can find my key! You've shown me the way to keep on playing those songs that Iove and sing them in a way that sounds correct. Thank you Justin, you have always been a great teacher for me.

[@seanhallahan14]

Thank you so much Justin & Max!

[@Crinkle65]

This lesson is a perfect example of why Justin is the best teacher on line.

[@greadigaeth]

Superb tutorial!!!! Great playing tips and that cover of the song at the end was just wonderful! Thanks Justin.

[@denisnagot6982]

[@guitaring1]

Please tab out that intro. I love that style! And the vocals are just wonderful! Great job!

[@edguitar644]

Thank you so much Justin, what a great version of this great song. You have opened new versions of playing the song in different keys with a capo. I am just now getting my head around this method. Really amazing sound.

[@danmaher2425]

You were born to teach !!! Nice Job

[@wagnerjunior21]

[@JustinGuitarSongs]

+Wagner junior oliveira Cheers! :)

[@morganjanson7556]

Wonderful tutorial, thank you Justin!

[@myflyonthewall48]

Thank you for being the man that taught me chords and also being the one who introduced me to Max Jury. What a beautiful voice

[@Kendo276]

Found this one, helped me to grasp capos and chord shapes better, thank you Justin!

[@codyriver5]

Justin. I thought I sort of knew all this, but really you solidified it in my mind. Thanks for opening many, many more doors!

[@AtomicThrillGaming]

AWESOME!! Thumbs up.

[@mickspencer]

Very nice. I like both versions without and with capo. But I really felt the version with the Capo. Bravo . The guy singing with you has got a beautiful voice. Thanks for posting.

[@tombryant52jumpscoach]

Great stuff!

[@romualdkieffer9176]

very good justin, thanks

[@harishreddy4034]

Ok, that felt like two people were playing the guitar. Your mixing of those melody notes while strumming is fantastic. Superb cover, liked the vocals a lot. Unique style of singing. Thanks for posting.

[@petmomful2260]

Just lovely. I am going to start practicing this right away! Thank you!

[@madisongraham9307]

Justin -very nice. Thanks for exploring the capo……opened up a whole new experience. Thanks for helping push me along as a beginner after 50 years of steps and starts. Really enjoy all of your Neil Young lessons. Peace.

[@x534n01]

Love it! Thanks! Great cover at the end, awesome playing and singing!

[@Larry342516]

Beautifully sung and played. Thank you for the video.

[@abbeyrosemason9644]

Love this song ,used to play it years ago on yahoo ...those were fun times. Good memories.great job

[@xtidnab]

Thank you Justin, you are helping me grow.

[@stevewilson5402]

Wow, that's so great. I'm going to subscribe and follow. When your voice doesn't fit the bill you bring in a pal who hits the high note. That's real amazing!

[@mark1952able]

You're the best Justin.....

[@1981bex]

Excellent and easy to follow Tutorial this is my all time favourite song. I'm just getting back into playing after several years, your tutorials are making it easy to get back at it. Thanks so much for all the Neil Young Covers....my favourite singer song writer.

[@joeyandmaggie]

[@Nomena68]

As always, very good tutorial Justin ! Cheers from France :)

[@garn1177]

[@eliasruuskanen5840]

Beautiful cover and a versatile lesson! :)

[@anthonyangelis1094]

Oh this is a great song. One of my favorites. Thank you for doing a lesson. I love whoever was helping you with the accompaniment vocals. He could really do the high notes very beautifully. Thanks you guys thank you for this amazing lesson looking forward to learning this

[@JustinGuitarSongs]

Glad you enjoyed it! Cheers 😊 | close2u | JustinGuitar Official Guide & Moderator on JustinGuitar Forum [ www.justinguitar.com/ ]

[@JustinGuitarSongs]

+Chris Neary it sure will!

Thank you so much, Justin... another great lesson for me. ♥

[@thomasloekken9351]

Once again - Spot on teaching! Great:-) You are the best. Out on the weekend by N. Young would be appreciated :-) Cheers.

[@ThePurpleBus]

Thank you so much...you are awesome!

[@als1023]

Great job on this song, Neil often played it in C, even though the recording was done in D

[@TrevWard777]

simply lovely 😀

[@joeyandmaggie]

Your a wizard dude !

[@marksadventures3889]

quality! Neil Young is the seminal figure of country-rock for the last 30 years or more, and being named the father of grunge, I don't think he gives a damn about any of that - but his music is honest and kind, great stuff. - old laughing lady is one of my all time fav's

[@t.h.worden2623]

now THAT was enlightening!

[@lesliecloughley7058]

That guy is a lovely singer 👍

[@TezTezTezTezTez]

Great stuff! also happy 70th birthday to Neil Young today

[@jchaput3]

amazing..thank you

[@marvelcontestofchampionsba1227]

wow. goosebumps.

[@floraleigh8146]

This is really cool.. The singer has a very beautiful voice I love it, love the duet and the strumming too :)

[@seanoconnor2531]

great vocal

[@heikeselchow3938]

Really, thanks.

[@dilaradaoc8097]

☺👌🎼🎸🎤🙆thank you very much😃 for the lesson and for the Song 😀👏👏👏

[@JustinGuitarSongs]

[@Andrelix67]

Awesome!

[@JustinGuitarSongs]

+Andrelix67 :)

[@July4.1776]

Forget the lesson, I come here for the brilliant performance.

[@itudor]

11:40 blew my mind. whoa. i hope i'll be able to do that in a few years.

[@dougclark6018]

Great vocal harmony. I'm going to try to follow the hammer-ons, etc., that Justin adds. Those bring so much to the simple D-A-G progression (C-G-F in the _Last Waltz_ version) of the song.

[@corey613io]

Northern Ontario represent haha

[@gustavomrezende]

Awesome as usual. And that guy CAN sing! (BTW, I have a suggestion: one day, can you please cover Queen's "A Kind of Magic"? It's a nice tune, with absolutely zero decent lessons on KZbin :D)

[@nirmaljoseph1402]

Thanks Justin.... Been waiting for a long long time to teach me how to change the key of the song .. Coz i force myself to sing in the key of the song and ruin it ... ever grateful .. Cheers from India :)

[@adamdproduction]

great lesson Justin! :) Cowgirl in the Sand next pleasee ;]

[@MrLsmagee]

Nice Justin

[@MrMark1325]

Neil's played this in key C standard tuning live before. Sounds the best to me.

[@Peter-rl4nc]

please a lesson on Loretta Steve Earle version. Great lessons Justin

[@uM9nOJIb3OBATEJI9]

"Rolling Stones - she's a rainbow" lesson pls.

[@project5647]

Great lesson again Justin...Any chance of a tutorial for The Loner please?

[@allanmacbadger5692]

Yes 11.40 is great sound

[@viktorsukharyev7108]

Justin, could please do a tutorial Damien Rice Cannonball cuz no one has done a clear tutorial thank you very much

[@georgetpiano]

I like to play Neil Young, Crosby Stills and Nash stuff. What I tend to do is Chuck in sus2, sus4 to create a variable, emotional feel. I think that is how Neil actually sings it also. He does sing in a way that sounds higher than the key but I don't see it as a forceto but a modified 3rd feel. He does the same in Heart of Gold, Teach the Children Well. Cheers George Taylor.

[@AshAlmond1]

Awesome strumming.. great tutorial as usual. Lovely vocal by the guest singer too.

[@JustinGuitarSongs]

+Ash Almond Yeah Max can sing eh!

[@martinslvsten428]

+JustinGuitar Songs dammit justin you and max just made a full grown viking man cry

[@cvandy07181961]

nice job

[@uknown5362]

Thanks a lot Justin. Do you think you could do "Through my sails" as part of your Neil Young series? It's a lovely song

[@Sanholomc]

Twerp derp Max has a soulful sound

[@amrmahmoud3183]

perfect 💜 ,, and can make a tutorial of warning sign by coldplay standard tunning ?

[@gibby6904]

Could you do a lesson on Captain Kennedy? I think it might be double drop D?

[@mblimmina]

Hey Justin. Great lesson. Would you consider doing a tutorial on Eric Clapton's Easy Now? There's very little on you tube about it, and it is a great strumming song with some neat sounding chords in it. thank you!

[@Redleggedchicken]

Absolutely lovely cover an lesson, thanks fellas

[@lesliecloughley7058]

❤❤❤❤

[@friendlessharold330]

Song Request: Ride On - AC/DC

[@edwardposo6982]

great song to learn, could you maybe do something by Porcupine Tree, too? (Sentimental or Trains possibly) :)

[@pramit9]

Maybe you can make a video for "send me an angel - scorpions"!

[@dunnunz0409]

Great video justin! One question what type of strings do you use?

[@eagyl56]

It's very nice to have some vocals in a video from you. The words are important! Thanks for this. Try as might, I can't read your guitar. What guitar brand are you playing?

[@dougclark6018]

I can't clearly see the logo, but I believe that's a Maton. Justin has mentioned that brand a lot on his website. Have a look here, and see if the logo on the company's site looks like what's on the headstock of Justin's guitar. (Your eyesight is probably better than mine.) maton.com.au

[@giorgijirkvelishvili4126]

Greaaaat stuff as always . juustin think about a tutorial . Velvet Underground-Pale Blue Eyes. It would be awesome if u did it. thanks by the way

[@josemarcelo8]

Great lesson, as always, Justin. Love this song. I have a Christmas request for you or anybody who follows your lessons. You made years ago a lesson on Like a Rolling Stone and then you had to retire it for copyright reasons (thanks Bob for that!). I thought it was the best cover I had ever seen, and intended to study it, but alas, I did not download it. So... anybody has got that file? Thanks a lot in advance.

[@thebigredwagon]

Justin, what’s under the cap?

[@JTPMcC]

Great Lesson Justin, when you put the capo on and you were playing the C chord and playing a scale A familiar tune popped into my head and can't think what it could be. Do you know a song that uses that lick at the end?

[@TheNewenglandboys]

Knocking on heavens door i think

[@CShorty55]

Could you make a lesson for In Your Atmosphere by John Mayer?

[@angelico7025]

Good job. Can you do tutorial for More than this by Roxy music? cheers.
