OHIO - Neil Young cover

Leo Dailey performs OHIO, anti-war rock song by Neil Young written during the Vietnam Conflict and after the May 1970 National Guard shooting deaths of four students at Kent State in Ohio, for which this song is infamously named. It's one of Leo's favorite anti-war protest songs and he sings it for the simple joy. Ohio is dedicated always to the Kent State Four.

End the Iraq war! Thank You!

Hey man. That was awesome. I hope to one day play this song at my school on drums with a friend on guitar on May 4 in the future.

@LedZeppelinGuy6880 Hey, thanks for watching. On May 4, 1969 I was a sophomore in high school and was wearing my NROTC uniform that day. I remember sitting in classes that day wishing I would strip off my uniform and march naked to the flag pole where I would lower Old Glory to half mast to mourn the shooting deaths of the Kent State students and to protest the horrible wrongdoing on the part of the trigger happy National Guardsmen.

@desertjournalonline Hey man. Any form of rebellion would have been appropriate as long as it was directed as respect and to mourn the 4 Kent State students who were shot down for no reason. Why is it that the people who are supposed to be protecting the citizens of the US murder young college students who could have really helped the world?

@LedZeppelinGuy6880 I guess you might have to say that their sacrifice to trigger happy henchmen cast a huge spotlight on the civil unrest. In my town of Albuquerque, protesters overturned police cars and burned them in Roosevelt Park.

Wrong chords...Its a gmaj7 and G7 not a g

Wrong tuning too...drop low E to D

and i think you need to tune the guitar first before playing it

@prangxxx Thanks, but I gave the ol' gitbox to my 12-y-o granddaughter 'cuz I realize what a moron I've been playing and posting videos here, hahaha!

@desertjournalonline That's like right on protesting, like showing the man he can't go around sending trigger happy henchmen to kill college kids. I would have loved to have participated in such protesting.

I tend to agree, I'm just not relaxed and recording adds to the stress. The more I think I got to get it right, the more I get it wrong.
