Cowgirl in the Sand - Neil Young cover

Spent most of the day fighting a persistent nosebleed but finally stopped the flow long enough to get this done. Hope you like.

I love playing this song on my old 78' Takamine F360,but your rendition blows me away. It sounds awesome on that D15. I wonder if your F360S sounds as good as this guitar since it's not all mahogany.

@caintapi thanks a lot. They are both nice guitars and work well for this kind of music. The Tak has mellowed quite a bit over time so I don't think it would sound much different on this tune.

A great cover and I like your take on this great NY song....I,ve been wanting to do a cover of some NY stuff for ages....but the vocal register just slays me......so I may just "borrow" your idea with the capo... I have been going the other way and down tuning a couple of full tones ........Kev

@electricragtime

Yeah, some of his older stuff is just to high to sing, even tuned down a whole step. Just move the capo around until you find a good key, close your eyes and let it rip. Thanks for the comments.

(and no, I don't need the tabs... heh)
