Hey Hey, My My by Neil Young | Easy Guitar Lesson

[@ChrisBach1138]

The thing I like best about JG's vids are that if you're an intermediate player who just quickly wants to know a song, JG's camera positioning and chord voicings are so clean that you can often figure it out from just the beginning without needing the lesson. Still, the lessons are handy for harder stuff. Thanks again JG!

Rockin' G will never F. Damn straight.

[@Coopdog1911]

You did this one very well. My wife's 17 yr old nephew and her sang this at her brothers funeral and did a very good job at it. Now I feel a strong need to learn it as well. Not an easy strum despite how easy it sounds. I have had a hard time making it smooth, but just started working with it. Thanks for the lesson Sir!

[@dougmackey3696]

Gary Cooper what a nice tribute to your brother in law. I've often thought I want a Neil song played when I go. Been my favorite artist since I was a teen.

[@truevipermark]

A few months ago at a folk music festival I met a guitar player and I told him that I practice flat picking as part of my practice routine with acoustic guitar. He told me I was wasting my time??!! I told myself he didn't know what he was talking about as I want to cover Bob Dylan and Neil Young who both use flat picking in their music. Now that I'm learning this song my flat picking practice is bearing fruit. Thank you for this exellent lesson!

[@michaelworse6034]

Try some Glen Campbell as well , he's been my all time no.1 flat picker !

[@grown-up9272]

Justin- I love your straightforward approach to teaching. It makes everything so much easier to master.

[@maguedkhouzam777]

Amazing talent in teaching! In addition to your beautiful talent playing the guitar and singing! Thank you for really studying the piece before teaching it! Thank you

[@robertmclaughlin582]

You are an amazing teacher! Thanks!

[@earldozier3491]

Thank you for the enormous body of work that you have shared with so many. Your methodical approach and easy going style have really enabled me to become a better player.

[@gasolinechlorine]

Hey Hey, My My (Into the Black) is the heavy version. The acoustic version is called My My, Hey Hey (Into the Blue). Either way, good lesson!

[@MATT63793]

out of the blue, not into the blue... bro ! Hey Hey, My My (Into The Black) - heavy My My, Hey Hey (Out Of The Blue) - acoustic

[@isok5221]

Adam uuuh nah you are so wrong. He is playing the heavy version but on acoustic. He is saving money guys. XD

[@wizrom3046]

​@@isok5221 ... The acoustic guitar is much lighter so it cant play heavy (that is my theory anyway)

[@tristanwojtas7972]

I've done Justins tutorial from start to finish and this is still one of my favorites. Neil Young was just different.

[@ParasiticOne]

Thanks Justin! Neil Young is one of my favorite. Please make more lesson of his songs :)

[@dougmackey3696]

Your right Justin, this is a classic Neil song. If you want to play Neil this has to be one of them.

[@kristianroberts9992]

Great lesson for the strumming hand technique for this song.

[@neilperrin1871]

8 year old lesson but I'm just learning this amazing song.. Thanks Justin 👍

[@lorellaniggi8864]

Thank you, justin for this beautiful song: neil young is one of my favourite singer and songwriter!

[@G420Law]

Your videos are great! I've learned some decent stuff thanks to you. Thanks for keeping your channel up to date!

[@grantg6117]

Great to revisit this great teaching video. Neil Young is the reason I started playing guitar. As you say it’s all about what he does with his strumming hand, pretty much in all his songs. It’s a tricky but great technique to master.

[@awc032]

Another great lesson. Thanks for all you do Justin!

[@buzzlightyear1191]

Purposeful powerful song. I know that I can always rely on Justin for a great guitar lesson 😎🎸🙏 Respect

[@ursafan40]

"You could pick it out. It doesn't have exactly teh same ... feel. I'm not sure how to describe it." Described it perfectly. Seems like if you played the right notes on the correct beat but a different way it should sound the same , but it doesn't. Justin gives great Neil Young lessons.

[@johndennis5182]

this is the magic of neil young, cause some people think- Oh he is just playing easy chords. and the foundation is basic chords, but the neil young magic is how he plays them, and it will take a beginner rubbing his head wondering how does neil make his guitar sound like that. I have been playing his songs for years, and to learn how to play like him, is not for the beginner, I would say a little more advance player, if you don't believe me and you are just starting out, try and play needle and the damage done.

[@driesduyck469]

yes totally agree i play guitar for 3 years. i learn this song 2 years ago and never get a good tone and feel in this song.But today i played it with more expierence and smoother picking and strumming.And id sounded good not perfect ofcourse but good.The trick is dont think just play and feel !

[@Sms68]

john dennis No doubt Dennis. Neil has made the he easiest chords into the best Chord Riffs. I been playing 20 yrs and teach. Everyone wants to learn Neil starting out but it's not thee chords, it is the switching off and muting that they can't figure out. when I play Neil Young once in a while I still go back and check how he does it. First song I ever learned was America horse with no name. Ha. Great song though. Peace

[@warwicksmiley]

Your words are very true & its well said. 😉

[@boltman2u2]

john dennis hahahahahahaha, how true you are, until I heard and followed Justin's techniques I made the exact same mistake in the same place every time, sad really I am now 68, I started to learn needle since 1975. I've given it away so many times because of frustration. Neil Young's music has pricked my senses in such away I can not move on until I have learned the many songs that I became accustomed to. What a waste, my life has much to do with Neil's lyrics, that touched my soul .

[@delmaketzschau5088]

Im just starting and SO HOPELESS

[@austingode]

As always thanks 🙏 for another great tutorial

[@xunit94]

Justin you are simply amazing!

[@MaartenVrijman]

Great song, great lesson! Thank you so much Justin!

[@ppikach64]

Such a great tutorial. I'm a beginner (playing since 1 1/2 months) and your tutorials help me out with the chord change pretty quickly. Greetings from Germany :D

[@sebtyler7262]

Justin comes in clutch once a again 👏👏

[@autocrow]

I'm totally stoked Justin. I can play this strumming the whole time while hitting the bass notes and all. Which I am usually poor at doing. Like you say, this is a good song to learn that technique. I found the chords/lyrics as you played them at Ultimate guitar. I printed them out, and can now play and sing the entire song. Thanks Justin. I've been digging the acoustic guitar lately and I think it's improving my overall playing, as I usually only play electric. It's kinda fun trying to sing like Neil as well. lol

[@dale8809]

As usual....awesome lesson, perfect speed and good explanation. Have to play this in a couple weeks so thanks to you now I can!

[@sspeller7]

Thanks for the tutorial! I however can't stop thinking about how much you look like Norm MacDonald

Thanks Justin, you're easy to learn from. And EXACTLY the same as the song. I've been a fan of you and recommend you always. (San Diego CA, USA)

[@jameshill2015]

Neil has that amazing strumming while picking out notes like no one lve ever seen, l learned this first on trying to learn "Ol Man" which l have watched him do live on vids and it's baffling how easy he makes it look but it's really what makes the song..the chords and changes are basic, he really makes unique songs out of this technique... Ughh maybe one day it will come together but lm not there today.. thanks for your great vids!!!

[@Careabout211]

Justin, thank you ! You are the BEST teacher I've seen yet on KZbin!

[@christophermartinelli5274]

Justin, your absolutely an amazing Guitar player, spot on with impeccable timing, as well as a phenomenal teacher. Thank you for all of your tutorials. ❤ 👍 💪

[@mozz9]

Great tuition. Rhythm on the strumming hand is key with this. A great help thanks 👍

[@ryinf]

Justin, been subscribed for a while. Glad these videos are paying off for you. Thank you.

[@frankieedwards9825]

Great lesson I've loved this song forever! Always wanted to learn it and thanks to you l finally have. Little trickier than l expected. Especially to sing And put the fills in. What a legendary songwriter.

[@Larrymarx]

Tnx Justin, one of the "BEST" Teacher on KZbin♪♪♫♫♪♪

Driving in my car today listening to this song, deciding it needs to be the next one I learn. The first tutorial I find is by Justine, and the song is within my reach. This is a good day, thanks Justine.

+Spencer Hodgkins This is the funniest comment I've ever read on youtube.

[@marseillesdefrance]

Justin, awesome performance! The best teacher, not forgetting his good looks!

[@GuilleSKS]

Rock and roll is here to stay

[@jdessell]

Neil is such a guitar virtuoso ! His rythms are so intricate and his solos are so complex and technical! Every time I hear him play I still can't make myself believe he didn't graduate from MIT. I think he also taught Joe Satriani and Steve Vai how to play.

[@SleepyBoBos]

This was brilliant. As you say this is a technique Neil uses a lot and I can see how it will be able to cross over into a lot of songs I like to play

[@pugdoyle]

Great lesson. Big Neil young fan....keep 'em comin' THANKS!!!

Neil Young and a guy named Jeff" Buck" Blackburn wrote that in Santa Cruz(Pleasure Point) back around the time Neil played with the Ducks, with Buck, Mosley Mobey Grape and Johnny Craviatto. I used to listen to them practicing

[@JustinGuitarSongs]

[@DK-gt1jk]

Loved learning this…. Thx Justin

[@TheStefanzo69]

Yay!!! You read my mind! And acoustic too. Thanks mate

[@gaiusthejurist8445]

This is very fun to play! I can't play the way you/Neil do (keeping that strumming hand constantly moving but still hitting the notes precisely is damn tough), but it's still a fun one. I need to practice that G-chord shape though as I keep defaulting to the index-middle-ring shape that I'm used to which causes me to accidentally mute a note sometimes on that second little riff in the opening.

[@elijahmonn3757]

Caesar Belisarius , it’s interesting the development of playing guitar. I started out playing G the way you are. I moved on to learning finger style and it is common to keep the index finger free. And fret with the other two fingers and small finger. It originally felt so foreign, but now I can’t tell what way I’m playing G chord. Some songs I use ons or the other. But I have noticed than the transition to C after G is a lot easier and quicker for me using the finger style version. It’s amassing how ply able the brain is. I love playing guitar because of this. Remembering words and chord patterns also works the brain. All the best with your playing. Brent

[@jerseyjess6151]
