Neil's shorter solo acoustic versions of this are beautiful but I also love the long winding jam of the original Crazy Horse version so I sought that approach instead. I'm not sure if he ever tried it this way solo. Like many of the classic and iconic songs from his early career, it's the simplicity and raw nature of his style that I love. My goal was to maintain the long solos without overplaying and getting away from the spirit. Some might say I failed and thats cool, I get it. To those of you who watched to the end and came all the way down the river with me, I appreciate it!
Originally released by Neil Young and Crazy Horse on Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere in 1969.

The old Em7 to A7 meditation - one of Neil's dark ballads with insidious elements, (Crazed lovers and loners) nice one man

[@Kendo276]

Wow!

[@timquizpam]

Wow….

[@RossErikAndersen]

Unreal job, I hope Neil Young sees this. Would you mind checking my guitar covers out?

[@saxtant]

Neil put a little more on the 3 beat, you've got a great pulse on the one. The chicken scratching solos make this track. This version is more you than Neil, put more on the 3 I think. You do have a fair bit on the 3, Neil really drives it there though. Alternatively, play slightly off beat the whole time. That made this song.

[@MrCretemaniam]

Awesome job young man...I like the blues aspect....hell yes

[@Chi-xx9lc]

Hey Corey great videos, I just wanna ask you is that 000-15 or 00-15? cheers mate

[@laurasacutter]

FANTASTIC!!!

[@krisknesel5465]

Bravo I’ve been playing that tune for years. Beautifully done. Probably gonna take a few rifts from it. Hope you don’t mind. 😊

[@freewaybrothers]

Please, Almost Cut My Hair and Cowboy Movie

[@CrustyAbsconder]

Please do a whole playlist on songs about rivers Styx: Boat on the River Or better yet, make your own hit about a river

[@azymuth3715]

Amazing ✌️👍wish I could play like this

[@klausg350]

Wow, awesome! Great playing and singing.

[@richardj.29]

Wahoo ! great rendition ! good riffs ! good guitariste and good solos ! thanks ! ( from France ! )

[@bishopk99]

Holey Moley! Best rendition yet. Grabbed so many influences in this rendition and your arrangement was spot on. This was incredible. Thanks for posting, inspirational to me as it is the first song I ever learned and I always play it when I pick up one of my guitars. That soloing in the middle really lends clarity to what Neil is actually trying to accomplish with his Gibson (Old Black) I see you play that Stonebridge all the time during your live feeds. I recently bought a Furch Red Pure DSR (beautiful) and I have the 15 series Martin Streetmaster. I am just learning.

[@scotthussar5691]

Daymn….. That was mesmerizing. Love your stuff!

[@oghash4912]

What u do is irreplaceable, thank you Corey

[@truthwarrior9749]

As Always Corey. Pure Virtuosity! Both your playing & singing.

Thanks, your music inspires me so! Sri Saraswati bless you 🙏

[@tripp7387]

Awesome cover man, love it. So many good techniques to study too. Thanks Corey :)

[@mohammadkashif6481]

Mind-blowing performance once again Corey! I'm speechless.
