In this Rockin' In The Free World guitar lesson video, we will take an in-depth look out how to play this stadium rock anthem by the great Neil Young.
Released in 1989 off of his Freedom album, "Rockin' In A Free World" shows Young in full on electric hard rock mode with bombastic guitar riffs and a memorable chorus'.
The guitar chords and riffs themselves are pretty simple. The opening riff, which is revisited again later in the song, uses a heavily palm muted power chord into some simple triads.
That opening riff is then played with open position chords when the verse comes in. The verse is actually played in two different rhythmic styles.
The first half of the verse lets all the chords ring creating a big open sound. However, halfway through the verse, Neil Young begins to heavily mute those same chords and you will also hear a little bit of arpeggio picking as well in order to make some individual notes come out.
This all leads us into the very memorable chorus which combines open chords that are allowed to ring out along with a descending single note riff when the chorus repeats. This chorus is really infectious and extremely catchy. The most important part to remember when playing the chorus is to really try to open up the sound as much as possible and let those big open chords ring.
As I mention in the video lesson, there are a couple of highly chaotic guitar solos by Neil Young in "Rockin' In A Free World" as well. These guitar solos are what we would refer to in the guitar playing world as absolutely un-recreatable. He is using predominantly the E minor pentatonic scale in the 12th position, so you should use that to help you recreate the vibe of these solos. But the techniques and way the solos are performed are not something that anyone, even Neil Young would be able to reproduce note-for-note.
The best way to go about playing the solo is to follow the couple of tips I will show you in the video lesson to help you give your solos the same vibe.
I hope you guys enjoy learning this Neil Young classic!
Carl...
Carl you are the best teacher online.I cant say enough about you.keep it up and stay safe.You make it a joy to learn.
Was looking forward to seeing what you had to say about the Solo for this song😂 you didn’t disappoint haha
Awesome lesson. Thank you!
That was funny , " The solo is E minor pentatonic , just beat the hell out of it
And you'll probably come close to recreating it "
"Just beat the hell out of it"
That's actually good advice for this solo :D
THANKS !! You always show how to play songs Properly.
The best teacher! Greetings from Brazil!

I agree with Casey Carr, man....No Blah Blah BLAH...Got right to it....YOURS ARE THE BEST LESSON'S BY FAR....Thank you
Awesome lesson Carl thanks man
Hey Carl or anytime reading this. I have a quick question. I love the way you are playing the D barre chord with primarily just one finger, and the C barre chord too. This makes things so much quicker on this song. Is that a common technique? If so, it's a gamechanger for me!!! And are you wrapping the thumb over the top primarily to deaden the 6th string? Thanks very much.
Thanks for the great work! Could you please try to do a lesson on Cortez the Killer. I can't seem to find any high quality interpretation of the song anywhere. Thanks for considering it!
Great tutorial. Any chance you could say or put in the descriptions for future videos what pick up selector position you are using please?

This is a great lesson very well taught. But imo I wish a part of the lesson would cover what gear he's using to help achieve the tone. Just my opinion but nevertheless a great lesson
What amp or FX are ou using for the overdrive/distortion? I can't get a descent distortion out of my strat :-(.
Can you teach This life - curtis sigers the solo of the guitar? I Tried to do only watching the live and using pentatonic but... you know... it's very hard. thank you and merry christmas.

Throughout my 15 year journey, Carl has been a lighthouse in a dark sea of incorrect voicings and bad transcriptions... and questionable editing! I always breathe a sigh of relief when there's a Carl video available.
🙏
First?!
Duh
Man I wish Neil Young himself had seen this video before playing that live solo. He's one of my favorite musicians, but that solo was just hands down terrible lol...
Neil young solos are a mess
That’s part of the quality and charm.
I think there's not enough distortion in this poor Strato...
🤣🤣🤣🤣
