Guitar riff of the century!

My dad thinks I'm a genius because I can play the chord progression of Cortez the Killer. I'm not sure he could handle seeing me play this one.

Andy, Thank you so much for offering this lesson, which is so easy to follow and learn from. You make it look so easy because you take your time and show how the chords are played so that you can see where you are placing each finger. I am 76 years old this month, and always wanted to learn to play this song by Neil Young. And I have been a fan ever since his first album in 1970. With you help, I learned to play this song today. And if I can do it at my age, anyone can. With the right teacher. And you are the best and easiest to learn from that I have come across. Thanks so much! I will become a patreon and donate when I can!

After 4 years of watching Andy, I can finally "play" like Andy. It still may take me another 4 years to get this right like he does...

Another example of Neil Young's clever use of drone chords. Thanks Andy.

like how he smiles to the songs he(Andy) really enjoys playing... and this is a great tune !

Well done. Thank you Andy.

what freakin amazing circular riff.. Neil really rocked that one out.. Great lesson too! Thanks!

One again an amazing fast and accurate lesson. Your videos are always so good regardless of the content direction. Thank you. 👏🏻

"Next" riff of the day? These have happened already? Free lessons from Andy! Yes please!

cant wait! got my tickets for Glasgow!!

Best instructional video on this song that I’ve found. Slow tempo is very helpful.

This was very helpful! I'm playing this song in a gig tonight, and it sounds much better now that I know it's DOUBLE drop D. I was playing it with just the low E string tuned down. I knew I was missing something.

One of the better lessons I have seen. Sound is dead on. Great job!

Nice! I never realized you gotta tune that high E down to D as well as the low E to D.

Agreed! I hope Andy does more lessons. He nails and/or gets the essence of whatever style he's going for far far better than most. Go Andy!

Great lesson. Nicely explained. First lessob i've seen that also explained how the sound was achieved too. More please.

This is just so cool-simple, economical use of chords-tuning-groovy.

That riff just made my day. Andy is great. Thank you

Awesome playing and lesson Andy! best cleanest player ever you rock!

This sells me on a pedal more than the regular demos. Great work, Andy!

Stuff like this is what separates the "Best" from the rest! PGS Andy, the real "DUDE"

Andy, thank you for the lesson. Expertly provided and with a smile on your face. Kudos!

I can only try to imagine how many thousands of riff requests PGS will be getting every day now....

Andy, you need to do more of these lessons! With your help, I learned that song in a couple of minutes! Thanks!

Loving the lessons. My favorite guitar shop just got that much cooler. Didn't think it was possible to have more of a man crush on Andy and then he pulls this.

Andy lessons!!! Yeah!!!

I love you Andy!

Andy, first riff of the day and you picked one of my favorite songs and a pedal that I want. You Rock!

A Classic for the Ages !

Awesome clean, concise and well presented lesson, effing amazing, I hope these become a frequent occurrence, not only for learning riffs, but when I am at work all day I watch vids like this and it gives me the inspiration to go home and practice for hours.

This song rules.

The best I've heard! There are some I have seen who teach the song in standard tuning and that doesn't make my ears smile like this.

Andy would love to see you do one for Neils old man! great job on cinnimon girl always wanted to play this song and now i can

Andy your a legend

This is the best thing to Happen to KZfaq! Lessons from Andy YEAH!

Great video! Thank you! 👏👍😎❤️

Thanks. Looking foward to more if possible.

Love it dude, thanks for the riff of the day! Pretty sweet to learn some classic riffs. I don't have the patience to figure out the riffs myself, but ill certainly buy stuff from Andy to keep these lessons flowing.

I didn't think this channel could get any better, but it just did with a triple threat. Andy, Cinnamon Girl and a lesson. In that order:-)

Great video man! I've always wondered exactly what chords Neil was playing exactly. Very cool stuff!

I hope this becomes a trend, because this is just awesome!

Neil Young/Led Zeppelin was my every day music in 1970,when I was a" Londoner student "now watching you on intime solos, makes me fell back on school chords ... tanks

Thanks Andy!!!!!!

Thank you so much for doing these lessons!

This is a great idea guys, love it.

Badass Andy!

I keep hearing Type-O Negatives cover in my head listening to Andy play this.

This is a brilliant idea! Would love to see more riff of the day videos!

Best channel ever. Btw what amp are you using. And a suggestion for the next video. Can you show the settings of the amp and pedals so your subscribers can achieve the desired tone you have for the demo. Great job again.
