[GordonMorrice]

There's great footage of Neil performing a similar instrumental version of this song (seguing into "Cinnamon Girl") at a coffee house in 1970 on the recently released Blu-ray Archives boxed set.

[kd8ux]

Real nice jam,,just like a good Neil song should.

[TheWoodstockChannel]

Really inspiring!

[marebear875]

You are a master. What was the tuning?

[pachacamacs]

Thanks. Tuning is DADGBD.

[pitofdu62]

superbe son de ta Taylor et magnifique version de Neil Young. Merci de partager ta passion.On en veut encore, encore et toujours

[pachacamacs]

Merci ! Neil Young reste une source d'inspiration (la guitare n'est pas une Taylor mais une Avalon).

[pitofdu62]

autant pour moi

[dylanyoung22]

wow that is ridiculous. you play with a lot of feeling and emotion like neil

[pachacamacs]

Thanks, much appreciated.

[rabidkoreann]

damn dude it must suck ass tuning that thing, but hey this is sick =D

[delecio]

Sick dude, you sound awesome, is it a Washburn J28?

[pachacamacs]

It's an Avalon L32-12, made in Northern Ireland.

[truncale74]

You give just about every cover you play a new found richness and depth that the originals lack. Your right hand is amazing.

Rock on! I would love to hear you do some

Alice in Chains stuff...I am sure you would do it justice :)

[pachacamacs]

Thank you, much appreciated.

[bishopk99]

Wow, I have listened to this song hundreds of times and what you improvised at 2:12 until 3:05 was amazing, original and certainly Niel. He would be proud.

[pachacamacs]

Thanks, what a compliment !

[jakerandall123]

You nailed it perfectly! Thanks!

[dzsulszii]

wow, amazing, could you tell me what tuning did yo use?

[pachacamacs]

Thanks, tuning is double drop D (DADGBD), like the original.

[dzsulszii]

thank you :)

[WIGSCOTT]

[kvhhd56]

great job..love it :) thanks for sharing.

[dago00]

the beginning sounds like cinnamon girl :)

[mega976]

man you have a beutiful sound. The 12 string was created for people like you, although I never heard another play it quite like you. Any chance you could throw together a little My My,Hey Hey?

[pachacamacs]

Many thanks for the comments !

For those who want to play it : tuning is DADGBD (like Cinnamon Girl and a few other Neil Young songs). I started from the chords out of a songbook. This is a good piece to experiment with variations. I probably never play it twice exactly the same way.

[jaekib]

Very impressive example of a very good guitar player, playing an awesome song. Thanks for the inspiration... Think I'll try to copy your version... guaranteed to bring you down^)

[Miker2]

awesome stuff!
