[@zetalyn]

Whoopee!! I can now play Heart of Gold. Not perfect but am happy with it so far. Would not have done this without you Jamie. Thank you so much, xxxx

[@JamieAndersonMusic]

You are very welcome! It's a lot of fun to play, isn't it?

[@evelynward7170]

Thank you for providing this wonderful guitar lesson along with the link to print off a PDF copy of the full instructions. I now have my guitar all tuned up and ready to go!😊

[@JamieAndersonMusic]

Excellent. Enjoy!

[@kevinmccormick354]

You are a gifted teacher and have such a talent for breaking it down so even relative beginners can actually do this and make it sound like music!! Thanks so much for all you do!!! Love your choice of music as well!!

[@JamieAndersonMusic]

You're welcome, Kevin. Enjoy!

[@warrenfoster973]

The most clear explanation of how to play this song , no mystification or complexity to dazzle beginner or intermediate players, for perspicuity of wit and brevity of expression you have no equal here on you tube , and absolutely charming as well . Bravo Jamie!

I find it easier when the chords are in (C) the lyric line rather (G) than above, like you did for Four Strong Winds. I've been diggin' Neil for 54 years now. Thanks.

[@JamieAndersonMusic]

You're welcome. If the key is wrong to sing you can use a capo.

[@ajetmech2002]

Thanks Jamie...love the song for my brother and I.

[@JamieAndersonMusic]

Excellent!

[@marianvladescu6682]

Great lesson...Im a fan too.."hawks n doves is one my fav. amongst his large library. Buffalo Springfield was good but he was destined to be a solo act. Harvest Moon was exellent also. Thanks Jamie (with no flowers in your hair) keep 'em flyin'!!!

[@JamieAndersonMusic]

Thanks. I've got a lesson for Harvest Moon that'll be posted in the coming weeks.

[@stubaker2574]

@@JamieAndersonMusic Thats great! he's a canadian like Joni and Gordon an couple other's. Im happy to know you read comments. I normally don't comment beyond thumbs up but you seem familiar for some reason..?? how about Leonard Cohen? he's a big fav. of mine an the older(2009>) is as good/better than ever another canadian Hmmm my son left me a 4-leaf clover today..he finds all the time me maybe 2 in 20 years..do you use thin picks pointy or rounded? I use round/thick for lead runs as you would on a mandolin can't find the name but its fast up/down kinda fun

Thank you so much Jaime, one of your songs is an absolute delight, menopause mambo!, can you teach us how to play it? Happy women's day😍

[@JamieAndersonMusic]

Thanks, Nadia. Glad you like my song but honestly, I'd feel strange teaching it.

I understand! It's only us women who understand this. I would be so happy to invite you to Europe one day, portugal. Thank you🌍

I've been a Neil Young fan from his days with Buffalo Sprinfield. Very cool lesson. Speaking of a heart of gold.... that's what you have.

[@JamieAndersonMusic]

Thanks, Thomas. Check out my lesson for Needle and the Damage Done. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6qmhHyJhdGJr6M

[@JamieAndersonMusic]

Now I see you saw that video already. Ah well, I'll leave up the link in case others are interested.

[@carrieolsen5257]

Trying to learn this one. Tool cool to pass up! First attempt at a hammer on. Although I can hear the sound slightly when I put my finger back down I am not sure how to make it louder. Should I be pushing down on the string harder??

[@JamieAndersonMusic]

You want the finger to drop solidly on the string. It take some practice. Try isolating it and only practicing the hammer on.

[@user-tk8sw1yu2b]

Many thanks Jamie...you're wonderful!

[@JamieAndersonMusic]

You're welcome, Dario

[@user-zg1qz8oz2u]

Thank you so much! I love this song!!

[@JamieAndersonMusic]

Me too and you're welcome.

[@kevinmccormick354]

Jaime Would you ever consider Hey Hey by NY? Thanks so much!!

[@JamieAndersonMusic]

I'll add that to the list.

[@zetalyn]

Am getting better each day. Now wondering how to put accents into the dddudu strum ?

[@JamieAndersonMusic]

I'm not sure you need dynamics here. Play them with equal intensity.

[@melodylamour6123]

Good ole song. Thank you!

[@JamieAndersonMusic]

My pleasure.

[@garychu1141]

I'm a 70 year old guitar beginner and like to learn this as my first song that can combine finger style and strung

[@JamieAndersonMusic]

This is better as a strummed song

Still looking for “Don’t get around much anymore “

[@zetalyn]

I really want to be able to play this, then I will have moved forward a little. I have learnt all the different parts and can slowly put it all together but i Just cant make the words fit. Maybe i am playing to slow,, Help !!! x

[@JamieAndersonMusic]

Maybe you need more practice before trying to sing it? Or, try singing along with me and don't play. Get used to hearing where the words go.

[@zetalyn]

@@JamieAndersonMusic Thank you for the reply Jamie, I think perhaps i am being too impatient to learn it and I know these things take longer at my age, I will watch and listen more closely. Thanks again. xx

[@JamieAndersonMusic]

@@zetalyn You're welcome. Keep playing!

[@williamoxendine6121]

Thank you from Canada

[@coycarlson4979]

Jamie - yes - I too am a Neil Young fan - I REALLY ENJOY ALL your instruction. That being said - I am NOT a fan of your GUILD GUITAR because, just my humble opinion , it does not lend itself well to your playing . The tone is fair enough - for sure BUT , to me , the tone is to tinny / treble toned. A guitar with a RICHER , WARMER TONE would certainly lend itself FAR BETTER to highlight your GREAT PLAYING 😐👍👍👍✌️✌️✌️✌️

[@JamieAndersonMusic]

Thanks, Coy. Actually, a better mike would improve the sound. I don't have the money to upgrade right now.
