Neil played an acoustic concert in Chicago Centerstage in 1991which I watched on VH1. I wasn't even a Neil Young fan back then but years later it just clicked. That performance was what inspired me to take up guitar. Great job breaking down one of Neil's classics James.

You amaze me. The broad range of songs and artists you cover well, and you always have the right guitar for it. You are a gift to those of us needing Cliff Notes on cover songs.

One of the best tutorials I've been lucky enough to stumble onto. I knew I was leaving out alot of the pretty details. I could find the notes but not put it all together. This was an elevation. I love how deceptively simple Neil's playing is. He milks every chord and makes every note a gem. Thank you!

Grew up listening to Live Rust every Friday night. My first introduction to Neil Young. Loved every song acoustic and electric on that album! Brilliant. By the way, that intro was (sort of) adopted by Lloyd Cole and the Comottions for 'Are you ready to be heartbroken'. Maybe a song you should look at sometime? Great great song in my opinion. Keep up the good work Sir 👏
