[Me110w]

great voice man!



[davidwaters69]

My friend that was classuc

[amberlynn7979]

thanks for schoolin me bro.

[thebeatles8267]

once again! I seriously love you! lol this is genius! My 2 favorite songs, Almost Cut My Hair and The Needle and The Damage Done. Right on brother!

[93Cannon93]

Justin Sandercoe has got you beat. You still play it better than me though. Nice job

[uilium]

South paw with some killer as guitar? Great rendition!

[CarldeReims]

Your guitar is awesome.

[awesomeness0192]

god..i'm only 13 and i've loved neil young since the first day i ever heard the massey hall album of 71. his voice may not be the best but for some reason i cant get enough of it. i think the voice makes you focus more on the true music and not just a pretty voice like most of today's music. great job. i'd love to learn guitar someday. i might get to go to neil's next show..he's not as good as he used to be but its still insane how great of a musician he is...

[CassandraAntares]

very nice

[LeCutter]

Unfortunately, I saw the needle and the damage done a few weeks ago with one of my best friends. Jesus Christ, you'd think people would have learned by now. I think it hurts even more because it was so goddamned stupid. Anyway, thanks Neil for the tune, and thanks for another beautiful cover, Strat.

May the creator keep and protect you and yours everyone.

[yynnmmbb]

@LeCutter . I think your creator is not very good at protecting people.

[LeCutter]

@yynnmmbb Yes he is, we just insist on doing dumb shit in spite of it.

[Cynful27]

My favourite Neil song. Love the guitar! Nice job!!!

[boogieman079]

yeah..great job..great song!

[mommarox2]

fantastic cover bro. Yeah we lost a lot of great musicians to hard drugs. Such a shame because they had a great music career going for them.

Happy Saturday to you Mike, Ooops it's after 1am

well then happy Sunday LOL

endless starz

Neil Young tune is awesome, buddy!

Your vocal range is just like Neil's.

Legendary Taylor Guitar?!

[strat2caster]

[xXEsPLoVeRXx]

awsome cover man... its funny im 14 but i love neil young hes a freaking amazing guitarist and for some reason his voice is pretty horrid but i love it. it makes him who he is.. love it man.. niice work. send me tabs please?

[strat2caster]

thanks! yeah, neil sound like he means it when he sings, despite his vocal timbre one believes that he feels it

[hydra66]

You manage to get a very similar intonation to your voice as the Neil Young original.

I also like your history of the song in the info box. Love the stories behind the songs.

[strat2caster]

thank you ! glad you enjoyed

[SmoothOperator29]

I love playing Heart of Gold too....this song still eludes me...I cant quite get the hammer-ons right in the intro part...awesome job!

[strat2caster]

thanks! try forming a c chord and hammer on each finger from low to high

[qreddy]

sounds sweet man , love your voice

[strat2caster]

thanks very much ;o)

[ricvonzipper]

I know this sounds crazy, but I've been thinking of giving heroin a try, just once to experience it. I want to get the rush Lou Reed was talking about. I think I would have the self control to leave it alone after that.

[SICKBOY687]

it aint that nice dude, in the west its mixed with so much shit it just makes you itch and puke all night ... not good, and if you do happen to enjoy yourself that could well be the end off your normal life, now what you relly need to try is opium !!!!

[PsychedelicRain69]

Awesome

[strat2caster]

thanks !

[Knukleheada]
