Tell Me Why Neil Young basic Guitar Lesson How to Play

A basic instructional video on how to play Neil Young's "Tell Me Why", a wonderful tune from his "After The Gold Rush" album released in 1970. The video is geared toward beginner to intermediate guitar players. Use standard tuning with a capo on the second fret to follow along. The capo makes the hammer-ons much easier. Be sure to buy the CD if you don't have it, it's a classic for sure! Oh and while the video mentions that Neil Young does the song in B flat, it's actually F.

Is that a new Martin D28? It's tone will get better and better the more you play it!

@BobDaniel56, Funny you should say that. It's an old mid-1970's "Lawsuit" Takamine F-360S! So no, it's not new, and it's not a Martin, but I wish it was. I like this guitar though.

@macpaulster great instruction. I like the video and audio too. What kind of camera is it if you don't mind divulging ?

[macpaulster]

@Rainman270 Canon HV 30 with external mic. It's too dark on the fingerboard though, I will do better next time.

Start by TALKING SLOW then you may be able to teach slowly.

So excited. I can actually play this song. Pretty cool. I also used some tab I found, which helps. Thanks!

Thanks for the video. I'm going to try this tomorrow morning. Little late now and I've been practicing for hours. Good job. Nice playing.

Excellent video, thanks. Sure would like to see the whole song played at speed though.
