Learn how to play Love the One You're With, as performed by Stephen Stills / CSN released in 1970 from Stephen Stills' first solo album. The secret to this song in terms of guitar and sounding like the record is the C Modal tuning. Tune your strings to CCCCGC, and let 'er rip!
The lesson covers the strumming, chord shapes, and even how to emulate the conga part that comes in during the last verse.

I wish I had known that in the 70's...
Holy smokes, as soon as you tune it with the right tuning, it sounds exactly right. More CSNY please! Would love to see a detailed instruction on Stills' Do For the Others, in particular (from Stills' first solo album).
Great job Doug. I love CSN’s general use of alt tunings
There’s a cracking scene you’ll find on UA-cam in Celebration at Big Sur where there’s a tripping hippy shouting at CSN&Y about them being rich, then next scene people are holding Stills back and he’s gonna attack the hippy and looking really mad, next scene a now calm Stills is softly strumming his guitar thanking the people who “loved him through it”.
In an interview, Dennis Hopper said he was considering getting CSN&Y, but when they showed up in a limousine for a tryout, he screamed at them for being RICH SNOBS and threw them off the set.
When they ask, why do you need so many guitars? Well there is the answer
Very cool, I learned this song way back during the last Century!
I love, love, love how this tuning transforms the sound of my acoustic guitar.
Great lesson, hopefully many will experience the same enjoyment I have with this tuning.
Never heard of that tuning. You always keep me learning. Thanks.
This was very good ...
If I'm not mistaken, that was on Stephen Stills break out self titled album. First album I ever bought, 1971 I think. Great album.
Love this! The FGX5 sounds fantastic!! 👍
WOW love that
I have the same guitar and I love it
nice! thanks for both songs!
I love this song among all the other songs csn play. I tryed to tune my guitar 🎸 to this and was having some trouble. And when I tried to re tune the strings I broke the high E
And haven’t tried sence. But now seeing this lesson I might try it again. Thanks for the lesson.
That'll be fun to play by the campfire this summer! Thx!
Always wondered about the tuning, thanks for de-mystifying it. Good lesson, well done.
Bravo 👏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻
Just found you, this was great, thanks.
Welcome! Tell your friends :-)
Great lesson, + the bonus track, this is my lucky day ! Will be playing this at the next jam session. Cheers from Canada
So glad I waited for the end.... LOVE "Friends"!!!!! TY for that!!!
Just a great song. You do it so well,great thanks.
Thanks man - that was awesome!
Thank you.
Big hit in it's day.
Another great job I found the right place to learn songs thanks
Great lesson i haven't heard of this tuning sounds great
Outstanding, I’m going to have fun with this one.
Wonderful stuff! Thank you! 🙏 👏👏👏👏👏👏
I have just the guitar for this tuning! Thank you for the lesson
I have been try to work out that tune for years. Solved Cheers.
Thanks, Doug. there's also Suite Judy Blue Eyes in that modal tuning in E instead of C. I learned both in standard tuning in the 60s before I found out about the other tunings.
Yep, and carry on, and 4 and 20. I did lessons on suite and carry on. Love that tuning
Great timing , great tutorial , love it ! Thanks for this........
....tuning , I meant to say.
Very nice ... "Love the 'Friends' You're With" ...
sounds awesome.
Glad to see you finally got a legit 6 string although this tuning would probably sound massive on a twelve, despite tuning challenges. Thanks for the lesson.
Absolutely! I'll use C# C# C# C# G# C#
Way cool! Thank you!!
Nice ! Thank you !
Very excellent
Very nice bud!
If anyone is thinking of tuning their guitar to a 'model' key e.g. C, E G then a couple of things to consider. I have three guitars permanently tuned in model. one in C, one in E and one in DADDAD (4+20). so suggestion 1 - is use thicker gauge strings, this reduces buzz. 2 - Check your neck regularly as there is now less tension on the neck and it might 'bow'. I know not everyone can have a mix of guitars, but I thought this might help, even if you tune down for only a couple of weeks. Great videos though 👍👍
I was wondering about that with the down tuning. I broke the hi E string when I retuned my guitar 🎸
It’s modal, m-o-d-a-l. Not “model.” I know: picky, picky, picky. But in the spirit of music education, get it right.
@larrypower8659 hi Larry,
Yes, you are correct in stating this, and when I have taught various tunings to my pupils i seem to be able to hand write 'modal'
I would be most grateful if you could inform Samung of this so predictive text can leave the word I typed alone.
Yes, I should have re read the message before posting. 😄
@@neddyboy7958 No worries! I’m a guitar teacher and just wanted to make people aware of the correct term. Sometimes people take what they see or hear on the all knowing internet as gospel; not always the case, as we know. I liked the vid and learned something, too. All good!
When I learned Suite Judy Blue Eyes back in the day, the tuning was called “Bruce Palmer Modal” after the Springfield’s bass player.
thanks for sharing that. Because I'm out gigging, i can't take time during a set to change tunings so i found a work around. I put a capo at the third fret and use the C on the A string as my droning note (which i tend to double up at 8th fret C on the low E string). Then I grab my verse chords off the A. Not as accurate as what you've offered here but sounds close enough.
Nice 🎸
This is good. I learned to play this song in drop D, way back in the late seventies. That works pretty well and is easy to quickly retune for during a gig, but honestly the C modal tuning does sound better.
Yeah I learned it in drop D, and everyone I know who does this does it in drop D. Sounds great
Great lesson and what a tuning! It sure helps that there is no third in it...
Brother.... thank you....
Very good senor some songs are 19 foot chains I like both tunes
Love the Yamaha guitar. Known but unknown greatness .
Truth
I have one of this exact model and it is my daily driver. I love it
I think you barring those chords enhances the big BOOMING sound of the guitar and I love the sounds you get. I think this is what Stills was after and used to good effect with alternative tunings.
So happy I came across your UA-cam site. I've especially been enjoying your Steven Stills / CSN lessons. Could you add Dark Star to your Steven Stills / CSN guitar lessons songbook. Thanks!
never heard of that tuning before. when this first came out we just played it with standard tuning. I guess CSN could afford to have a lot of guitars tuned to different tunings. But when I was kid playing out, I had 1 electric and later 1 electric and 1 acoustic, so retuning for a song was impractical.
Far F'n Out....... Thank You
Excellent as usual! Another of my fav's. Great work. Might I make a challenge for you while you're on accoustic. Another favorite of mine is "Skating Away" by Jethro Tull. I might even get a patreon account for this one! Thanks
Love Steven Stills and a great guitarist. One of guitars is in D Modal tuning for " The Old Laughing Lady " by Neil Young ♪♫♪♫♪♫
Nice job , I call the alternate tunings the Joni Mitchell.tuning. They can boggle the mind! Lol😅
I think this song first appeared when Stills was on a break from CSN on the album by Manassas .. Interestingly, he plays a completely different version in concert
Half of us out here need the right hand rhythm noted in the video or explained. Chords are only half the lesson. I love your take on the song but I will struggle a great deal, and will probably give up, because I have to fight to discover what your doing with your right hand.
Good point, though I have NO clue how to impart rhythm strumming patterns. If I made a point to show strumming hand more clearly would that be enough?
I can hear a half dozen stills songs in this tuning .
Open tuning rocks. If you open tune to G, you can play quite a few Rolling Stones songs!
cool
The tuning for Love the one your with is EEEEBE
No, not in E. same tuning interval, but it's in C, CCCCGC
what other songs does SS use the modal C on?
I think Joani Mitchell played in tunings with about all her songs. Ritchie Havens also.
Hi, What gauge strings are you using for this tuning?
Thanks
D'addario phosphor bronze 11-52
If you left the G tune as in standard tuning would that work with the chord shapes
You would have 4 C and 2 G instead of 5 and 1
i think it should work - try it, you may have to duplicate fretting on the 3rd string what you do on the 2nd string whenever you fret something, but try it
For some perspective, I turned 20 in 1970. You cannot imagine the impact that guys like Stills, Leo Kottke, John Fahey, Joni Mitchell et cetera had on music. You'll have to remember at the time the only "mass media" around were records or a handful of magazines. Most guitar players knew something was up, but had not idea what. Some players even derided people who played alternative tunings ... as CHEATERS ... and despised them.
Where is Sweet Judy, blue eyes, carry-on/questions, and four and 20?
I saw the other two, but do you teach 4+20. I did not see it?
no, not yet
OK I thought you did that somewhere. Looking forward. Thank you.👍

Made a mistake about the song appearing on Manassas....My bad ..
Not positive, but I think those “notes” in the last verse are from a steel drum, or drums, not a conga drum.
Tune your guitar man!
Age appropriate for a 71 year old, lol. From Les Paul's hometown.
C capo , double tracked,
Get to the point!
Finish your juice and go outside and play sweetie, this lesson is obviously giving you an anxiety attack.
All my lessons have chapters so you can skip to the parts you want to watch. What part of that did you not understand, oh you just thought you had to be a jerk! Well you did a good job.
