    For sure one of the best tutorials on "Helpless" available on YT. Because, Justin is showing so many different ways in different keys to play it and how to spice the song up.

    I have been playing a lot of Neil Young for years and years. But at my age now ,I can't keep singing as high as Neil does. Especially this song. Very frustrating, but when I seen this post "BOOM" it blew my mind. Now I can find my key! You've shown me the way to keep on playing those songs that Iove and sing them in a way that sounds correct. Thank you Justin, you have always been a great teacher for me.

    Thank you so much Justin, what a great version of this great song. You have opened new versions of playing the song in different keys with a capo. I am just now getting my head around this method. Really amazing sound.

    When your voice doesn't fit the bill you bring in a pal who hits the high note.
    That's real amazing!

    quality! Neil Young is the seminal figure of country-rock for the last 30 years or more, and being named the father of grunge, I don't think he gives a damn about any of that - but his music is honest and kind, great stuff. - old laughing lady is one of my all time fav's

  • @als1023

    I like to play Neil Young, Crosby Stills and Nash stuff. What I tend to do is Chuck in sus2, sus4 to create a variable, emotional feel. I think that is how Neil actually sings it also. He does sing in a way that sounds higher than the key but I don't see it as a forceto but a modified 3rd feel. He does the same in Heart of Gold, Teach the Children Well. Cheers George Taylor.

    Great vocal harmony. I'm going to try to follow the hammer-ons, etc., that Justin adds. Those bring so much to the simple D-A-G progression (C-G-F in the _Last Waltz_ version) of the song.

      I can't clearly see the logo, but I believe that's a Maton. Justin has mentioned that brand a lot on his website. Have a look here, and see if the logo on the company's site looks like what's on the headstock of Justin's guitar. (Your eyesight is probably better than mine.) maton.com.au

    A familiar tune popped into my head and can't think what it could be. Do you know a song that uses that lick at the end?

  • @mblimmina
    @mblimmina 9 років тому

    Hey Justin. Great lesson. Would you consider doing a tutorial on Eric Clapton's Easy Now? There's very little on you tube about it, and it is a great strumming song with some neat sounding chords in it. thank you!

    @davidh.9703 5 років тому

    I am able to play along with the studio version (Deja Vu) and with the Massey Hall version. However, when I try to play along with The Last Waltz version it sounds awful. Perhaps it is in a different key, maybe to accommodate Joni Mitchell's incredible backing vocals, but I tried capos on several frets and it still sounds awful. Any suggestions/comments about what the problem is. I am a relative beginner (maybe advanced beginner).

    • @davidh.9703
      @davidh.9703 5 років тому

      Turns out that the Last Waltz Version is in the key of C. So the open chords are C, G, and F instead of D,A, and G. Sounds great , especially with Joni's backing vocals.

You made years ago a lesson on Like a Rolling Stone and then you had to retire it for copyright reasons (thanks Bob for that!). I thought it was the best cover I had ever seen, and intended to study it, but alas, I did not download it. So... anybody has got that file? Thanks a lot in advance.
