  • This one was a chore to learn and practice to say the least. Gave myself an extra couple of days to get it burned into memory as it's pretty long, and there's two of em. All told, it's about 4 1/2 to 5 minutes of soloing.
    Really wanted to take this one on for quite some time now, mostly to see if it was possible, haha. Neil is Neil, and it's damned hard to replicate.
    Hope you enjoy my take and commentary on this classic Neil Young pair of solos.
    Cheers, K

    I've never understood people who say that Neil isn't a great guitarist. Is he great in the same way that Malmsteen or Vai is great? No. He's great in a way that no one else is great, and as you've demonstrated here, trying to replicate what he does is as difficult as replicating what those other guys do. Neil didn't just play that Les Paul on those early records: he assaulted it. He pounded sounds out of it in a way that no one else would have ever thought to do, and he did it essentially as a folk rocker. That you managed to nail his style here is just amazing. You've just earned a subscriber and a thumbs-up.

      I’ve been playing guitar for 15 years and Neil is hands down the hardest guy to imitate. His style is completely his own, and it kinda makes me mad when people write him off as a “bad” guitar player. He knew exactly what he was doing, he creates emotions with his guitar.

    Neil plays with raw emotion. Emotions can be sorrowful,uncomfortable, sloppy, but always honest and that comes through in his playing and you've captured it welll. Neil's playing has always hit me in the feels more than anyone.

    Wow that was so good..I’ve heard that solo for over 40 years.....you captured the soul of the solo.....very well done..my respect to you. I also love his noise, picking mistakes and mis-strikes , also his pitches and squeals that make the sounds in this solo so perfect.

    ❤🎉 Wow wow Wow! Kelly excellent job. Just superb I can only imagine how much time and effort and dedication you put into learning this and then taking the time to share it with us. I remember hearing this way back in the day for the very first time cranked up loud and as a guitar player I've always dabbled with this song but never to this level! Thank you so much I'm going to take away as much of it as I can

    I’ve been playing Neil Young shows for a good few years now and just want to say I think this one of the best accounts-performance wise and analytically-of his lead playing I’ve ever seen. As you say, many people see his limitations but not his extraordinary strengths as a soloist. I loved your impassioned explanation of the emotional energy he puts into his playing and your praise of him is all the more persuasive given that you can play superbly in so many styles. He is a feel player to the zenith and shows what it’s possible to do if you work devotedly within your limits whatever they happen to be. A brilliant video. Many thanks.

    Oh yeah, I'll always take an expressive "simplistic" solo over a mathematically precise "mind-bogglingly technical" one. I love your playing and I don't really care if it's exactly like what Neil played or not as long as the "message" is there. I actually prefer that "inexactitude" and variation to be honest. On the other hand, your commentary on this one is incredibly accurate and to the point. Great job as usual, Kelly!

I just fell in love with you because of playing and feeling from the very deepest zone/ lizzardbrainmemories, and also what you said made me glad to feel that i am not alone on this planet, that there are still some other musicians - at least one ;-)) who feel realy deep and talk feelings with the strings. Because you are one of those few you can realy play this solo so so good. Love

But your solo is the only one that generates the same emotion as the original solo !!! You are great !!! Thank you ❤ - ciao Kelly, amo NEIL YOUNG da sempre e in questi anni ho avuto modo di ascoltare migliaia di tributi di questa splendida creazione di Neil ...

    I get a wild hair now and then and the past few days it was the song woodstock and neils dirty riffs...one dude on the tube nailed the intro solo. I'd love to see all the guitars parts deconstructed on that tune. there's some sweet rhythm chording I can only imagine is stills and neil is playing little riffs thru out the tune.
    anyways, when I hit this video this morning It was some sort of karma I tell you. lol. Your explanative of neil's artistry was epic. neil ina nutshell! long may he love!

    I just stumbled across your channel, and after checking out your videos, I had to subscribe. We're from the same music era, which leads me to this question. I've been playing since the early 70's, and when we wanted to learn something, it was in front of the turntable playing one little track over and over and over till we finally figured it out. I'm sure you can relate, whether it was a turntable or tape. One song I struggle with to this day and just can't really figure it out is a song by Mahogany Rush called "Child of the Novelty." If you ever have the time, take a listen to it, has a Hendrix feel to it. Then if you wanted to do a cover or a quick lesson...... and I get it if you'd rather not put the time in it. Either way, great playing, great channel.

    • @KellyDeanAllenGuitar
      @KellyDeanAllenGuitar  3 роки тому

      Hey man, thanks! You nailed it. Turntable and a book of matches for me. Jam those matches under the turntable to slow it down, de-tune the guitar so it was the same pitch, and off I went. Primitive, but it worked. It's all I had.
      I love Frank Marino's playing. I'm gonna check out that tune as it's not ringing a bell. Hendrix vibe from Frank for sure, but way faster. Seriously underappreciated guitarist from that era.

  • @afteralltheseyears9774
    @afteralltheseyears9774 Рік тому

    Great job. Some patience learning that. I can never learn anything that well. I just end up jamming. You are right, Neil is the greatest guitarist. His emotion with Crazy Horse at their best is as good as it gets. I love that he says "it's all one song." Bring on The Horse!
