Ive been listening to Neil since i was about 6 years old. My Dad played the Guitar. These songs have inspired me throughout my life. Thank you Neil. Your the best. irish Steve.
Neil Young is the reason I started tuning my guitars to C and D standard!! If y'all haven't tried it, it opens up the low end of the guitar so much and adds boatloads of warmth to your standard cowboy chords. He's in C standard here.
@@Stringbean421 Yep!! For D standard, you lower all of your strings a whole step (D G C F A D), and for C standard (the tuning he's using in this video) you lower your strings two whole steps (C F Bb Eb G C). He would also incorporate the philosophy of drop D and double drop D into these tunings by further lowering the 6th and/or 1st strings another whole step, like in Don't Let it Bring You Down where he tunes to double drop C (C G C F A C).
So many of his songs are in drop d and it is so easy to do!!!!! Someone said he thought this was a sea tuning I can't tell but I know the job d is really great if you want to do Neil Young stuff much of his stuff was and played in drop d on the guitar🎉🎉🎉🎉
🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤ I'm with you Michelle. Same age as you same same everything except I am a guy. Song makes me think of a girl I knew when I was very young and who was actually a cowgirl no kidding😮
Neil’s voice just doesn’t age. He sounds great here, you’d never think he was pushing 60. Even in 2024, his voice still has that charm that it did in the 60s and 70s.
My heart swells to it's bursting point every time I hear this hauntingly beautiful song. Neil's been my favorite singer songwriter since I was a confused about life 18yr old kid in the 90's, through a 20 plus year battle with addiction and now a 47 yr old man child still trying to figure this life out but finally getting the hang of it. Your music has colored the soundtrack of my life beautifully Neil, thank you.
Good farmers use diesel fuel and we should pay attention to changing our dependance on gasoline. "Cowgirl in the sand" is always an authentic winner Neil. Appreciate this video post cause you only sing from the heart.
I'm sure I've commented here before but here goes again. A different truuue story this time ! I met this beloved character (Neil) and another flashy guy (Stills) ha ha...he was ! ... about 52 years ago when I was 14, hitchhiking home from the beach,thru Topanga Canyon , back towards the valley.... SF. Anyway they pulled over in a beige not new pickup truck. The blonde guy driving , the dark haired guy sitting there quietly.... Perfect right? So Stephen goes "hey little brother can you take my guitar to the back and look after it nicely please" My father was a real life great guitar player professional as well so I said back to Mr Stills , " Yes sir I know how to do that " "Good Boy " They had a case of beer between them so there's no room for the beloved old Martin d28... Must have been his beach guitar because it was pretty banged up🎉😂❤.... So anyways they took me back to the valley... San Fernando if anybody knows where that is.... But everybody knows this is nowhere haha anyway... So they dropped me off. Had no freaking idea who they were at the time. A year later when they were my favorite musicians forever and that stands till this day but anyway I had purchased some of the record albums remember those with the pictures of the people on them? I went oh my goodness those are the guys who picked me up!!! Ran into them other times later on but that was the most crazy time as far as that goes🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤😂😂😮
Love you Neil, always have, always will! I wanna come visit your little home, and jam....tell the guys I said hello! Hugs to Hannah! ♥Big love.....I've sang, and played this song since I was 17......and so much more! ;)
Waste Management collects the dirty cooking oil from restaurants to run their trucks on. I can not believe no one asks the question, where do all these lithium batteries go? It is a very interesting answer and not a good one for mother earth or any of it's inhabitants
Neil wrote this song laying in bed with a 106 degree temperature. Cowgirl in the Sand first appeared on Neil's LP "Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere" Neil and Danny Whitten really duel it out sharing leads on that LP.
Well well well. How old were All of the people Here in 1985 or 2000,?? Scarecrow was John Mellencamp not John Cougar. U2 Joshua Tree 1987. Both Americana ( social commentary albums)
Agree with the biodiesel. Went to Dubai in 2009 and was told they were in " recession" . It was Las Vegas on steroids. Buy American fuel and buy diesel and keep the money here!
I just tried this on my guitar, it sounds best with heavier strings so it doesn’t sound muddy, but dang does it sound cool. The tuning is C, F, A#, D#, G, C. Honestly every key sounds good in this tuning.
Mr Brother's Truck Emissions Always Smell Like French Fries! Oui Don't Want That Atlantic Ocean To ROAR! Calif Got A Slight Quake..(A Military Round Fired Across It's Bow) "This Is My Friend In INXS!" Hai Melania!
He has his guitar tuned to f , use a capo on the first fret and play E minor, funny because his voice is getting older and deeper. I always play neil young songs in a different key to sing as high as I can because singing low would ruin his song.
I beg your pardon mister; doesnt your diesel truck have to run on diesel fuel? Dont go putting gas in that mother flucker now. Shut up and play Neil. Bio Diesel is very cool but you have to go around to all the chinese resturants and get the old cooking oil they are throwing out. Just saying I love Neil Youngs music but damn.
Here in Brazil we’ve Ethanol, that is basically made from Sugar Cane. I believe in what Neil has said. There are other ways to have fuel from organic substances, it is possible.

irish Steve.
When he talks his voice is so deep but when he sings his voice becomes what it was in the day. Absolutely amazing
just had a thought of that
It's called "falsetto"
@@N41haul He definitely doesn't sing in falsetto, at least most of the time.
@@samhynninen I agree just a slightly high intonation. Just like his guitar lines honestly. It's really great in the mix.

Is that lowering standard by a whole step?

I am a 66 year old woman who has been in love with Neil Young and his amazing poetry since 1972. He just gets better and better.

@@jacobcormier5532 Agreed! It sounds great. It sounds darker than it used to be…listen to the acoustic live version on 4-way street for comparison.
I give up trying to find enough words to describe Neil Young. This is another great Cowgirl.
Neil young and Willie nelson, last of the mohawks of music
One of my favorite songs of all time by one of my favorite artists of all time if not the one! Means a lot to me.❤❤❤❤❤❤

Me, too. Thanks for letting me know I wasn’t alone (as I felt).
Hear that. It's been giving me chills since I was a teenager.
Thank u
same except earlier, turned 18 to a Neil Young soundtrack in 1977
I think you’re me. My exact same story truly began in 1983. Wow!
Neil Young you make me feel Young..though I'm getting Old searching for a Heart of Gold like you...such wonderful compositions.. 😇
I love the Live @ Filmore East 1970 version the best.
You are the man. I play several of N. Y. songs but no matter how much I play or practice the strumming hand is unmatched
Brilliant rendition of great sad song.

I like this version better than the heavy metal/ grunge one. A guy, a good acoustic guitar, maybe an harmonica. (And Neil Young of course).

Great message
Fantastic!!
Neil just keeps getting better. love this man
Great song. Great performance.
Enough with the negative vibes all you Moriarty's. Always remember what they say about opinions everyone. Rock on Neil!!
dig the kelly's hero reference..!!
Lol Neil just sing already! Haha loved it!
That was a unique version of Cowgirl, it sounded pretty good.
Puro new jersey el canada y el Chicho y el tim puro valedores de sangre.
Neil is awesome.
Angelic...
Out of this realm...
Neil Young: Forever artist.
Well... In 2015 we know that bio diesel is not the solution. It's better to use that ground for food.

I wonder what kind of pickup he's got installed on that Martin... It sounds pretty good!
subisci they are an old system called Frap. Flat response audio pickup. You can’t buy them anymore. The closest thing is the trance audio amulet.
@James Mullins down 1 step
Agree with the biodiesel. Went to Dubai in 2009 and was told they were in " recession" . It was Las Vegas on steroids. Buy American fuel and buy diesel and keep the money here!
Yes, Neil I am with you on the gas change.
He's tuned down 2 whole steps! The am chord is now Fm.
In many states this is illegal. Alternate tunings = gateway drug.
Lets see if you sing in the same register 50 years after you write a hit.
I just tried this on my guitar, it sounds best with heavier strings so it doesn’t sound muddy, but dang does it sound cool. The tuning is C, F, A#, D#, G, C. Honestly every key sounds good in this tuning.
Tell them wake tf up right on Brother
Best song ever!!
Every time I think I've "learned" a Neil song I see another vid with yet another different, cooler version...also, is that a Tilley hat he's wearing?
Love one another!
love u neil
How are u niel I seen u in concert ur rocking it out. How old are u know 1:29
merci Neil
Neil Young 💟💟💟🎸🎸🎸
We don't need political BS opinions from amazing musicians! Great song!
Yes we do
😅so right.
Great on the music. Sucks on politics etc.
He should stick to his talent and strengths.
@@davidstokes4630 hmm. Remember Bono of U2 during the Joshua Tree tour. And their First concert Here in the US
The problem with bio diesel fuel is that it would take too much land to produce it.
sad but true,,,,farmers need to grow food aswell
is it legal to tune guitar like that?
BRUTAL

he has an ache sound to his voice... i can feel every word
Wow
Amo muito!!!!
I love corn on the cobb my ownself.
Neil sold out the farmers in 2020
What happened at3:12
He looks more American Indian thn Elizabeth Warren ever did.
Jump to 2:00 to skip the chat.
He has his guitar tuned to f , use a capo on the first fret and play E minor, funny because his voice is getting older and deeper. I always play neil young songs in a different key to sing as high as I can because singing low would ruin his song.
there's no such thing as "climate change" Neil. No mother earth either, just earth, and we will be fine for a long time.
Nothin like it
Insert Mark Knopfler. Gimme heavy heavy fuel!!
هذا وراه علينا؟
i like but you still got some things to learn

I beg your pardon mister; doesnt your diesel truck have to run on diesel fuel? Dont go putting gas in that mother flucker now. Shut up and play Neil. Bio Diesel is very cool but you have to go around to all the chinese resturants and get the old cooking oil they are throwing out. Just saying I love Neil Youngs music but damn.
You can make gasoline and diesel with corn. Other products as well. Not on anyones side.
Here in Brazil we’ve Ethanol, that is basically made from Sugar Cane. I believe in what Neil has said. There are other ways to have fuel from organic substances, it is possible.
Neil Young doesn't have a clue to what he's talking about with the diesel fuel.
A little like Mellencamp. Sings great but talks too much.
I got a truck and will run what I want in it Neal! Shut up and play.
At least spell his name right. It's literally in the title. And the description. Twice.
Neil...
Wow tough guy with a truck.
He was performing at Farm Aid for the American farmer for cryin' out loud!
With all due respect, quit preaching politics.
Get the needle out of your arm and sing genius.
What the f is wrong with you
Let me guess, Trump supporter
@@jeffwisener1378 let me guess athletic supporter

Love your musical talent Neil. But please do your research before you make ridiculous political statements. 😢
I wanna hear 'F**king up'
