Brewerboy156 requested this lesson for Tell Me Why, the great Neil Young song … so here is my best attempt. Good luck!
I don’t know if it helped him but it sure helped me. Thanks for posting. You might not be a teacher by trade, but this was a great lesson. Nice and slow, showed the song with both hands at the same time, then showed just the left hand, zoomed in on the guitar work. I think these are all the things that go into a good youtube lesson.
Great! I’m glad this could help you … it’s a great song , and fun to play. Enjoy!
This is a great video. KB, thanks for posting, I’ll echo the comment, you may not be a teacher by trade, but you have the gift to teach.
I won’t quit my day job (lol)… but, glad this helped you.
thanks for the video, it taught me well.
glad it could help you!
just want to say:it’s very useful for my studying this song,thx!!!
Can’t really see, so I’m trying to listen note by note – do you have a tab so I can see ? Anyway thanks for even doing a lesson, it wil help eventually, I hope and I’ll be able to play it. Thank you very much.
Sorry – I don’t do tab. Keep workin’ at it … it’s a great tune and once you get the hammer-on thing going it will get very easy to play.
thanks,kb. got a few new ideas re. the chorus.. paddy in donegal
great paddy – glad this could be of some help.
very good lesson
thanks
Thanks for the lesson. Very easy to follow. I hadn’t played a guitar for 10 years, but was inspired to buy one again after listening to After the Goldrush. I’m delighted to discover that I still ROCK! (With a little help from yourself).
Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I found it very useful.
Hey: the sixteen yearolds don’t have a monopoly on cool cause you got a good portion of it yourself !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oh this guitar looks like my
Adams guitar
Thanks for the great lesson!
One question: is there a technique to properly use the signaturefinger in this song. I manage to hit the B-snare off course, but don’t seem to get any rhythm out of it…. Tnx!
Thanks. Oh no, I’ve been starting on the chord for 35 years!
Sorry – proofread before posting! I’ve been starting on the wrong chord – C, but doing the G bass walk – your way seems more intuitive. Thumbs up and thanks for your lesson.
Yeah – think that NY actually plays this tuned down 1/2 step … but using the “G” progression … so that could through you off if playing by ear.
play the song in whatever key you like
Hi,
Many thanks for the lesson. I have made good progress thanks to you.
The thing I find hard is the right hand. Could you give any tips on how to strum the right hand ?
Thanls
Thanks buddy, really helpful.
