    Hello friends,
    and welcome back to Swift Guitar Lessons for another by request song tutorial. In today's session I've broken down how to play Neil Young's 1972 classic "Needle and the Damage Done." In this lesson you'll learn how to play Neil's instrumental cross picking techniques, before tackling basic strumming and lead techniques for the verse sections. Let's get started!

    This song seems really easy to play at the beginning but it’s not that easy and it is complex , especially when trying to combine singing with it. this is probably the Best tutorial for this song on UA-cam , and I’ve crossed some in the last few days. Thanks!

    Superb tutorial! This is one of those songs that you hear and love but, at least for me, I think, no way will I ever be able to learn that! Far too twiddly to get my head round! But you nailed it in this tutorial! I am now playing it around 80% perfectly and I can't tell you the buzz that gives me!! Thanks so much and keep up the great work, man! Cheers from Manchester, England.

    Hey Rob, always a joy! I'm getting more into recording and I was wondering which microphone you're using here? And also what microphone would you recommend on a budget, if this exact one is a big pricier? Thanks!

    • @swiftlessons
      @swiftlessons  4 роки тому +1

      Hey John, thanks. This is the Earthworks SV33, a professional, high-end condenser microphone. For a cheaper, but perhaps equally impressive option, I’d recommend the SR314 by the same company. On a serious budget, you might want to take a look at the Rode NT1A, or NT2A.

    Great lessons all the way. I've learned "In My Life", "Michelle" and am now working on "Needle" with you. My question is about the Faith. What are your thoughts? Are you free to pm me about it? They look like good UK live performance and Logic Pro guitars. Is that the case?

    • @swiftlessons
      @swiftlessons  2 роки тому

      The original is much more wild and less exact. This lesson shows you what the important notes and patterns are, but it will be up to you to abstract this very concise explanation to make it more like Neil’s style.
