I used to play piano in a restaurant in a Jazz trio near where Neil's ranch was on Skyline in the Woodside area of California. He would come in and just give us a little nod even though were were very young guys (21) and could barley play. He'd come in every Friday and sit at a table not too far from us with one of his beautiful Hollywood actresses and just eat his meal. I felt it was supportive of him to do this and not complain or tells us or the owner Alex to make us to stop. Later on in my life, I worked as a mechanic in a Ford dealership and I got to work on Mobile Ben which was a Ford Van that Neil had custom outfitted for his disabled son. He came in to the dealership to pick up his Van and I walked over and thanked him for his great music. He just smiled, said thank you and shook my hand. It made my year. I just wish more great Artists who are very popular could be as humble and kind as Neil Young, let alone as great a song writer, singer and instrumentalist.

You really need to know your musicians....that was NOT.Neil Young...he .s 78 years old ...not to mention he would NEVER walk like that alone in public...and cell phones were NOT around when he was at that age ...safe to say...don.t believe everything you see..
Yeah, uh... don't you just casually walk around the park with a $7,000 Gibson? I thought everyone did. Seriously, even Neil Young (a Martin guy) goes "oh, wow!"
I like this. It was pretty brief, but Neil *did* take time out to give him all the key components: the D tuning -- even D-tuned the guitar for him -- did a mini run through, and then verbally gave him the rest of the clues. That's a good heart, imo. May we alll be so kind when we achieve great success.
Je me suis arraché les cheveux longtemps avec ce problème. Mais, en 73, j'ai vu Neil descendre ses 2 E en concert 🤩 Après ça c'est devenu magique, tout était jouable. J'ai donc économisé 50 ans
How cool of Neal to kneel down and help this man whom he just met. He was and remains a down to earth man of the people. All of CSNY was great with regular folk. Yes these puns are intended. 🎶❤️🎶
One of the coolest things I've ever seen. I would also like to add, that I am a big Neil fan; and he was the first concert I ever went to in 1972 at Scope Coliseum in Norfolk, VA. After he played a few acoustic songs at the shows beginning, it was pretty much a 'quiet' response from the audience ... he said, 'Wow, you all are so quiet.' I hope this gets back to Neil, as I know why the audience was so quiet, as I was too ... seeing him play was like nothing I ever experienced ... myself and the crowd were in 'awe'; no one much felt like disturbing the spell he was weaving with 'noise'.
No matter what I've read about Neil these days, I met him back in 1967 and I found him to be a great guy. He even came backstage at the Hullaballoo club in West Hollywood to see my band perform. I knew his Laurel Canyon Landlord, Kiyo Hodel, and rented Steven's Stills former residence from her back in 1971. From my memory shoe box.
"Can you show me something or are you really uptight?" is a loaded question, and if someone pulled that BS on me I wouldn't be doing him any favors any time soon.

I wish he had done more of it in the studio. Every time I listen to Cinnamon Girl, and it comes to an end, I think, "Jeez, why, oh why did he not stretch it out to 12 or 15 minutes?". Could listen to that song forever.
@@paulsaxo8754because of the top 10 radio format at that time. He'll stretch it out live in concert, but if it was a 10-12 minute song you'd rarely hear it on the radio?
I liked how he immediately tuned down the E strings to D without bothering to see if the rest of the strings were in tune. Of course, being in tune was never high on his priority list.
@@jstnxprsn Yeah you’re right. He didn’t give it a quick strum of E chord or anything to see if it was within a few cents he just cranked the Es down…lol…
@@ajfedzHey only touches two tuning pegs. Watch again. And it sounds well out-of-tune when he starts playing, too. But I don't expect him to diligently tune a stranger's guitar just to show him the tuning and some chord shapes.
In all the years Neil young has inspired me musically along with CSNY I have never seen this film footage till now, how cool & with the age of technology now to inspire young musicians far & wide across the globe. Keep on rockin in the free world my friends. 🎩🎸✌️💜
"Cinnamon Girl" is my favorite Neil Young tune because it brings back a specific memory of one of the best times in my life. It is amazing how music has the power to do that: send you right back to that moment.
I can relate to how that must have been for that guy to be shown by actual artist. I got to experience being shown the three guitar parts to Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress by Tony Hicks of the Hollies at the Bottom Line In NYC in 1983. It was almost surreal that he was kind enough to do that.
He came into a store I worked in after Christmas 2023 and he strummed every guitar in the store. He probably knows everything there is to know about guitars.
Neil Young demanded in a (since-deleted) open letter on his website that Spotify either remove his music or Joe Rogan’s podcast from its service (i.e. Censor Rogan)-in the name of quelling so-called COVID-19 "vaccine misinformation™". Nothing cool about shilling for "The Man". Nothing 'cool' about that at all.
I flew private jets after retiring as an airline pilot… I got to fly Stephen king for several years, and he gave me writing lessons… he gave me the characters and told me to come up with a story… While we were on our layover… And then he would have me go over it with him, between Los Angeles & New York where he was having one of his books made into a movie. He told me he honestly couldn’t believe that people actually liked his writing. This was about year 2000-ish.2002
It was only after the third time that I realized that Neil had tuned the guitar to Drop D. That set me back years in my self-esteem as a hobby guitarist, but hey, you grow old like a tree and you're still learning...
Yeah, I'm having volume problems with broken phone, but from reading comments above, and listening - BOTH E strings are down to E, and I think I hear Neil call it "modal" - i.e. " Drop- D, modal ". **More experienced guy than me, about 20 comments above, writes - " If you didn't know the E strings were dropped to D, you could spend 51 years trying to figure it out, like I did..." - Good Luck, Friend, keep playing...

I like Neil Young. I can remember his songs all the way back to 1969. Politically I'm on the opposite side but musically love his songs! I enjoyed this brief clip. He took time to show the dude in what key the song is and to find out himself the song! A very kind gesture! I loved the Gibson J200 in natural finish!
My dad loved Neil youngs music I love Neil youngs music and so the merry go round continues and will continue in my opinion for a very long time off in the future when I’m gone.
I love Neil's reaction when he pulls out that beautiful Gibson guitar. Instead of using a gig bag.. he should've protected it with a decent hard shell case. Cool video.
Guitar sounded flat, probably needs new strings. When he told Neil, it’s an old Gibson, you could tell he was interested. That is a great guitar Gibson J200
Check out old footage of Neil in a small LA record store in the mid- seventies (1970's) shitty about copright theft and therefore reclaiming a bunch of bootlegs the store was selling - obviously without permission. It's hopefully still on YT somewhere.
Watch the video closely. Neil is excited in the beginning, but when he pulls the guitar out, he realizes that it is completely out of tune! Bummer! Then he realizes that they are in a JUNKIE PARK! Then immediately a group of more than 5 lowlife bum junkies inconspicuously swarm them! Neil gets totally spooked and cuts the lesson short because they are about to get robbed! Then he starts walking away VERY FAST! He is distressed as he is looking over his shoulder at the group of lowlifes.
It's not out of tune, he just tunes it to D motal.. "double drop d". You are right about the scum ruining it though...I don't blame him, I would have left also. Actually he is better than me..because I would have bailed on this park altogether. Neil Young is a good guy! 1:11
Wonder if the park was McAurther Park like in the song with Richard Harris ( 8 minutes) It turned out to b pretty ghetto later on! And was that a guy or girl that Neil was walking with!

It's not a hard riff. Great tune. Drop D is the trick.
@@spearsg
It's DOUBLE DROP D tuning , you tune down the 1st and the 6th E strings to D.
Drop D normal is usually just the low E string.
Amen!
Same tuning for Sugar Mountain - capo 3 though and the high string can stay normal
Unfortunately, Mr. Young isn't like that anymore.
If you don’t know to tune the two E strings down to D, you could spend 51 years trying to figure it out. Like I did.
exactly, I like how Neil mentioned D modal and the guy said..'Yeah'....very vaguely...he had no idea lol
61 years for me 😂😂😂😂
So this is the famous "Drop D"?...I have spend 54 years trying to find it.
Double drop D .@@TheDesertwalker

Worlds shortest guitar lesson
Neil might have been late for an appointment.
From one of the world’s best guitarists
And one of the best ever
He gave him all he needs. Double-drop D tuning, and where the first chord is. Guarantee dude figured it out from there if he plays a lot.
Double Dropped D. Very cool tuning.

I didn't expect a jumbo. It's nice to be nice. Way to go, Neil. Kudos to cam and fan. Third line's a charm. A dreamer of pictures I run in the night.
That was so cool. I hope that guys is or had a great life and kept that guitar for his entire existence. Should have had him sign it. lol
Even Neil was impressed by that Gibson.
I heard "dig it" and "outta site" in this video, damn I miss the 70s!!!!!
Was that the coolest thing ever.....🎶😎🎶
If he would have signed the guitar, it would be worth millions now.
Brilliant bit of footage a real star but humble... guitar was beautiful neil said WOW so pretty good guitar then ....
Comment above says it's a Gibson D- ( somethin' ).
- You're right...
He didn’t want to give away too much of the secret recipe 😂
He tuned the top and bottom strings down from E to D and that is what he meant by "modal"
Have not heard "man, outta sight" since, well the 70s.
Pretty groovy right? Right on!
fantastico... come lo invidio... un sogno sarebbe incontrare neil
Back before Neil was afraid to leave his house because of COVID. 😂
