You could only hear the guitar without his voice to know it is him

Neil Young Made Me Understand Rock and Roll,One of The Greatest Ever

[Lee52McF]

I have a couple of old guitars and this song speaks to me in many ways. I always wonder how many people owned the guitars before I did...what songs were played on them. I'm putting a note in the cases that says who I am, the years I owned them, the songs I played on them. Hopefully the list will follow the guitars over the years after I have 'taken care of them for a while' and others will add to the list and create a history for these old war horses.

@Lee52McF

I just now read, and gained immediate adoration for this concept you described for honouring, preserving & consolidating the heritage, history & legacy of these beloved, mystically endowed & spirit-bound companions of we souljahs...

I think I will like to converse & delve more with you, in time.

This is the first time I have heard this song...

I'm gonna go back for seconds now...

Peace, Light & Music!

The whole album is wonderful: "Prairie Wind"

Isn't this song originally written as a country tradition to give a guitar to another musician that the musician thinks highly of.

My husband was a guitar player and this song makes me think of him! He died in 2007! I have his old guitar he had when we meant in 83! No strings, the bridge needs work and the case was burnt from him putting it on a stove and leaning back and turning the stove on! I wouldn't trade it for anything!

I guess I,m old.. so is neil.. about the same age . How much do we have to say to  Beleave the truth about life!

[Gilhelm]

words cant explain how great this song is

[persevere4]

The guitar is a metaphor at times, for us just plain workers that own a guitar know how to read strum the chords that are printed above the measure ahhh where am I going with this? This song is about life, is only ours for a while to keep like my guitar, I’ve had mine since the 1960’s played many a Neil song on it Oh yeah been around many a year up and down this country road just as my life still strum those chords yeah I agree this song has many meanings just like our lives Cooool song thanks

My mom has been gone almost 30 years now, and when I hear this song, I feel like I can be with her again for a little while, knowing how much she listened to 'this old guitar' when it was Hank's. I love this song. Playing it for you tonight, Mom!

[heilqueerstapo]

@Denise11Schultz she never went out of style it bought a tear a smile silently she will wait for you in heaven

Very similar to 'Harvest Moon' - a song I could play over and over again ....

[rockinroller7]

The "Old Guitar," Neil is referring to in this song happens to be Hank Williams' 1941 Martin, which came to Neil through a few other hands, and is used to play this song and can be seen in Neil's, "Heart Of Gold," performance at "The Ryman Auditorium," in Nashville.

Peace.
