Many of Neil Y songs especially “old man” represent the simple harmony between lyrics and an acoustic guitar. This amazing tutorial is not only accurate it also captures the essence of the song . Thank you.

Another brilliant lesson. Anyone can "play" this song, but few can do so like Neil can. You really show how to take acoustic playing to the next level.

Don't sell yourself short as a singer, Justin! But it is pretty high on the bridge so love your honesty. Really good lesson. Your lessons are among the best on the KZfaq. Your emphasis on rhythm and strumming is right on. Rhythm guitar is a lost art, as I'm sure you know. Most of my students are dying to play like their lead guitar heroes, which is good, but they don't realize that all those heroes had to start at the beginning and play chords and rhythm first. It's the foundation you build on. Thanks for that emphasis. Well done.

Glad to see someone who actually knows how to play the song, I've watched many many so called professional players that add notes or leave out notes and as you said he doesn't do picking he keeps his beat by a constant up and down strum. Just bought my first guitar again in 40 years and am trying to pick up where I left off learning Neil Young, some Pink Floyd and a few others before I hit the stage with a bunch of professional buddies in about a year and a half. Thanks again, much appreciated.

Eventually you just get it but even then you dont really know what your doing to make that distinctive sound it just comes eventually there's so much going on it would be so complicated to explain as you say. Got to love neil tho, so simple but so distinctive

I was also 22 when this song came out, I could play it reasonably well, but stopped playing a few years later. I got a job in the music industry and became a listener in stead of a player. Now two years ago a friend of mine inspired me to start playing again and I did. Your lesson helped me to recover my memory of this song and now I can play it again. Your lessons are great anyway, "It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock'n roll "really helped me out. Thanks Justin!

Definitely the closest lesson you can find on the internet for this song. And in my opinion the closest you can get if you are not Neil itself (or really a guitar god). This was the song I wanted to play as I decided to start to learn playing guitar. It took me a lot of practice and I had to revisit this lesson from time to time till all the things are nearly getting possible for me. Thanks to the lesson structure it was easily possible to learn in chunks...

This song is frustrating and not easy to get right and it's giving me fits but thank you for the detailed lesson because you really do reach out and try to show the secrets. The timing and rhythm make it sound so good and you know you got it right if you can get all the melodies inside it to fit. I'm lazy and don't count. I just tap my foot but maybe I should learn to count it out....I'm going to keep trying hard on this one because its a song that you have to get in time or it falls apart but if you get it in time it sounds so right. Thanks again. I'm going to keep working at this but like you said there's a lot going on rhythmically with the mutes melodically with the hammers and pulls and and that's why everyone likes this song. Good lesson.

my dad had this Neil young harvest album ever since i was born, and i always thought while growing up that it was just some old music, and the guy singing had this weird high pitched voice that sounded terribly awkward, fast-forward 24 years; Neil young Harvest is simply pure gold, odd how taste can change like that. always when listening to this 'Old man' i didn't really understand if this were 2 guitars playing, or if it were finger picked or what kind of guitar style it was, but now i decided to learn it and Waaauw ! It's much more difficult than i anticipated ..

I love your take on music. You have just the right amount of specificness combined with feeling. The one thing that would so help, for me anyway, is if you could teach the music showing both hands at the same time. It's very hard to learn them if you can't see what the other hand is doing . Maybe a split screen is possible? Even so I usually go to your lessons first. And I appreciate all the effort you put in, and there's nothing irritating in your style! Whew! Thank the good great universe for people like you.

Where to start..? I've just luxuriated in every second of this wonderful lesson into the mechanics of NY''s classic song. Aged 22 in 1972 when I first listened to 'Harvest' (not 24 like in the song!) and (briefly) living the hippy life with my mates in London, I have been haunted by 'Old Man' (...and also 'The Needle...') for over 50 years. I've had a guitar in the house since my teens but only this year decided I should really learn to play it properly. Yes, I left it late! But boy oh boy, the thrill of being able to play these fantastic tunes - and on my new Taylor guitar - is simply beyond words.. Thank you Justin... Your enthusiasm for NY 's music is absolutely evident and in my opinion should be seen as a vital embellishment to learning, in just the same way that the the picking, hammer-ons and other enhancements so characteristic of NY's style of playing are so brilliantly woven into his music. Thanks again.

Now the singing is another thing entirely ;-). Great job Justin!

While it is nice to learn how the original played, there is always room to make any song your own by adapting it to your own style.

Love ya man. Been playing since I was thirteen, but after a long break, now sixty...can't believe how easy it is to tune in and learn a song from Justin Guitar. You are a gifted teacher. Don't listen to any of the negative comments. My husband is learning for the first time, and hearing him, I picked up my guitar again and am enjoying all the great resources for learning that are out there now. I remember picking up the arm of the record player and placing it down again and again trying to figure out a song. Now, I just got to Justin Guitar. We are both huge fans and think you are by far the best. We are buying your books. Since I studied classical, I really detest trying to read tablature, so I guess if I had any feedback, I would say that providing real music would help me. I guess that's rare. Keep the little side comments with bits of music theory for us! Your pacing is spot on.

not a guitar player here, bass player actually. but, i have to say...excellent lesson!! ;) Justin captures all the nuances of the song and slows things down to make it easier to understand. this has always been one of my favorite Neil Young songs, kinda folk, kinda country. love the chords used in it! i've been kind of on a Neil Young/James Taylor/America/Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young kick lately. you just don't hear that kind of songwriting anymore. well, there may be some artists out there these days doing similar stuff, but nothing compares to the original in my opinion. so much of the music in the 60's and 70's was very groundbreaking and innovative. i was actually listening to an America song, The Moon Song, earlier and noticing some of the similarities to Old Man. i always thought the guitar on Old Man sounded very reminiscent of James Taylor's style of playing. turns out James played banjo on the song! :)

This is always a favorite when I pull out the guitar at the campfire. I cannot sing as well as the J man, so I have to have help. You can really play this in so many ways.

I like this guy's lesson - he doesn't over explain fingerings like so many people - they sometimes explain as if the audience picked up a guitar for the first time. I mean it's a simple song apparently but as he says the strumming is constant and the chords have many variations - sus4, sus2's etc. . . btw did anyone hear Neil Young on Howard Stern a few months ago? -- really great - kinda get the feeling Crosby and him don't exactly hang out hahahaha.

As a metal guy, learning mostly powerchord driven technical death metal type stuff my whole life I've wanted to broaden things a bit lately and Neil Young is one of my favorite "mellower" artists of all time... I own just about every album he's done so this lesson is a blessing and I think I have it down in about an hour! Thank you so much, and I look forward to lots more Neil lessons!

This is a difficult lesson a first time around but Justin again nails this and if one sticks with it, one becomes a much better player. This lesson could not be better. Thank you Justin.

Justin. I love your guitar lessons better than any others on KZfaq. You have a way of getting to the point, in a very easy going manner. Your technique is real, and it makes some beautiful songs much more accessible to a lot us who want to make it sound a bit more polished, as opposed to simply strumming the guitar. Thank you.

Superb! Lots and lots of things I got from watching this vid that I've never been able to figure out from watching Neil's 1971 BBC solo performance.

mate you are a really good teacher - born to it. especially for stuff like this that seems easy but sounds terrible if you do it not quite right - ego free zone. I love it.
