Cowgirl in the Sand

[baax]

A stone cold classic delivered with the heart it needs.

The tone and feel of the lead guitar really makes this for me, good job

[MECressey]

@baax Thanks man!

[wgpOrracle]

this is the best jam

[MECressey]

From catcheez: "what the hell. I wanted to see and hear Neil,,but dam..this is great..you all rock"

[Monstret123]

haha i didnt notice the very similar comment under mine! :P

[Monstret123]

oh my god, this is excellent job guys!! wonderful, 5 stars!!

[afshina]

Excellent job you guys! This is one of my favorite Neil Young songs and you have done it the justice (and respect) it deserves. Love the guitar licks too :-)

[MECressey]

Thank you very much! We did our best on the piece.

[bruxrj]

good job guys ! this is a hell of a track and you've pulled it off ... would like to see you playing some old chili pepper song ... the ones from the 90's, i think you'd rock !

[MECressey]

Thanks! Yes - we probably could have done some chili pepper's stuff well.

[daledhed]

im not much for covers. so dont thumbs down me for stating my opinion. no one will ever be as good as neil young. but yall got pretty darn close. that was incredible!

[MECressey]

I totally agree - Neil is one of a kind! I'm gald you liked the piece - we did t he best we could.

[RawPower7]

Cool:) Id love to see a cover of "Cortez the killer" im sure it would be just as great as this one!

[piotrekjjj]

Wow. That was great :)

[MECressey]

Thank you kindly!

[AdyPole]

just do yourselves a favour and turn the bass up. that line is rocking- I love to hear it. it helps give the song that hypnotic trance!

[AdyPole]

that was smooth!

[PanchoUC1983]

Thanks man !!!

I came from Chile and this song it´s a fucking great present !!!

Bless Rockers !!!

[Rliveable]

F#@$'n great

[MECressey]

Thanks - you're too kind!

[TinyJohnson22]

Nice work!

[MECressey]

Thanks everyone for watching!

[meenjerk]

nice job, you made covering that song look easy.

[piterjoseph]

great perform, great taste

[shitbag139]

i know , what the fuck,i'd pay to see these bastards

[Wolf4u2]

Do you have a cd out? Who are the band members? Sounds like it could be some of the members of Crazy Horse? Not sure but the band's name is a hoot too.

[Valentine4167]

cool cover! very nice...

[nosupecualponerme]

VERY GOOD KEEP UP FRIEND

[soopa10]

Nice Cover...Never easy to do for NY

[andywank]

very very cool

[MECressey]

Thanks! Actually the gig was very cool - recorded outdoor in March on a cool night in So. Cal.

[papafirelin]

When i saw you doing when you dance i was going to ask you for a cover of cowgirl...i found the number. Great job guys. Thanks again

[MECressey]

Thanks again to you for the nice comment!

[synapsodan]

Great cover, very cool.

The only thing I didn't like was the sweater of the guy with the green guitar ... urgh ...

[Lon611]

holy cow this is a great cover

[MECressey]

Thanks!

[cooksteraj]

Great job on cover, always fun to play Neil. If negative posters really didn't like it they would hit the stop button 10 seconds in and move on. but they watched all and then took time to post? simon cowel wanna be's.

rock on

[ohmygeerd]

he mike this is Truman's friend from school just thought i would give u some feedback...i've been listening to yours song and really enjoy them, nice. im a big bob dylan, and neil young fan. GREAT cover

[IMmoreRANDOMthanYOU]

Keep your day job! You ruined that song for me.

[MECressey]

Sorry that you didn't like it. Music is not my full time gig, and I only play these songs for fun, although the band did play professionally. If you think you can do better, I'd love to hear your version of the song.

[bruteforce76]

Man what a great cover, thanks for this vid.I get chills every time I hear this song long live Neil, there will NEVER be an artist to compare with him but these folks did him right!

[MECressey]

Thanks for watching! I agree about Neil - he's very unique, particularly his voice but also his guitar playing which, although simple, is unique.

[1050476]

Amazing electric version of Cowgirl in the Sand!! And Great Solos!! Really amazing job ;)

[MECressey]

Thank you kindly!

[1050476]

Is there any electric version of neil like yours? I never heard any

Do you know where can i get the tabs of this?

[MECressey]

The original, recorded version of Cowgirl was electric and my version is similar to it. I'm sure the tab is on the internet.

[1050476]

I know but your version seems to be a mix between the acoustic and the electric

Anyway thanks, i'm gonna search the tabs ;)

[MECressey]

My version has the same chord structure as the original recorded version. The only difference is how I start the song which is little the acoustic version.

[musicmanican]

some one sounds off key

:P

pretty good though

[MECressey]

Yes - the vocals are off here & there.  Thanks for listening though.

[AdultBoyJunior]

Amazing!

[HU1212ICANE]

Hi MECressey, loved the vid. Read in one of your replies on one of your other videos that you have a seymour duncan replica birdge pick up in your les paul, where did you buy one from and also did you have to modify the guitar body at all to install it?

[MECressey]

Seymour Duncan makes several different Firebird pickups. Look on their web site for information. Because the Les Paul Deluxe uses mini-humbuckers, there are no modifications to installing a P-90 or a Firebird pickup. Neil uses a Firebird pickup in the bridge position and a P-90 in the neck position.

[pbesmer]

you guys are terrific

[MECressey]

Thanks!

[pbesmer]

who is this?

[JimmyPage1973]

I know this would be so much better live

good work!!

thanks for posting

[MECressey]

Thanks everyone for the comments! I really do appreciate knowing that you people are watching the video & enjoying it.

[kamielck]

Good cover, but live at filmore east they were so great. I have the cd an d the dvd at home. But still a great job guys.

[Jenscool]

Gr8 cover guys!

[JuanitoEquis]

YAYESS!!! *****

[ekarukin]

exellent cover, ill put your bumper sticker on my car

[MECressey]

OK. "Live music is better - bumper stickers Should be issued"!

[ekarukin]

that is true live is better, the bumper sticker comment was because another comment regarding bumper stickers, I used to print them, your band jams very well and I would put a sticker on my car

I am in Rio De Janeiro

[LIVERUST]

Nailed it.

[MECressey]

Thank you!

[DominikAlexander]

You guys are great.

I cannot believe all the good covers on hear of this song.

May Neil Young live forever and to your soul also.

[MECressey]

Issue bumper stickers!  Thanks.

[ODBskatedestroy]

very nice cover guys

[MECressey]

Thank you!

[JimBCA]

Very good, you did it right...

This is one of my all time favorites, used to cruise in the chevy Impala with the eight track crankin, just getting lost in the song... Brought back some happy times.

Thanks

[NumbStar]

The Best Neil Young Cover of that song on Youtube, it's hard to nail that voice it's so unique but enjoyable to listen to, Peace brother, All Neil , all night

[MECressey]

You are very kind. Thank you!

[HU1212ICANE]

Oh yeah is that a mini-humbucker and a p-90 firebird pick up in ur les paul just like neils? You definetly get close to neils tone out of that goldtop, now all u gotta do is paint it black, and put a bigsby on it.

[HU1212ICANE]

Awesome cover deffinitely one of the best covers ive heard. Holy crap the bass player is Danny Whitten's twin. Long live Neil and Old Black.

[brokenradio1557]

damn good cover! neil would be proud. you nailed the tone and all.

[MECressey]

You guys are too kind! Thanks!!!

[pinkfloyd9876]

you sound just like him

[blackorblack]

loved it! that's actually as close to a neil young voice as i've heard, great job!!

[MECressey]

Thanks! Sometimes I can nail Neil and sometimes I can't, but I appreciate the comment.

[MECressey]

Thanks & much appreciated!

[distantmoons]

great
