You are definitely the most patient, enthusiastic, intuitive and BEST guitar teacher on You Tube. When I think I have seen your best video, your next one is even better. Greetings from S F. CA
Awww! Thanks so much!
Pretty easy on the eyes too.
I agree, an awesome teacher!!!!!
i know right.. this chick out classes everyone... and watching a hour lesson on a song is so much better then spending a hour replaying how all song break down are.. keep on killing it girl ur legit
@@AngelaPetrilliMusic is the best teacher I’ve seen on RUclips!! She does an amazing job with the songs she teaches.
I am really sorry but that is not exactly right . It doesn't go from C to G rather C back to F in the opening verse
Thank you so much for these lessons, I’ve attempted several times to try the guitar since the Beatles first came to America, and it’s finally sticking
Thank for your channel. Many will learn how to play the guitar ma'am.. fr philippines..
That was awesome.
very impressive, sounded exactly like neil young style,loved it... down under
The face you make when you said (like a country song)was funny as hell
Connecticut here. 😊
Not sure if this is the place to ask you, but would you teach me how to play Walk Away Renee by Billy Bragg?
I love your lessons even though I just tuned in to you recently.
Great Lesson Angela…about the song:
Young wrote this about the caretaker of the ranch he bought in 1970. The song compares a young man's life to an old man's and shows that the old man was once like this young man.
The caretaker of the that cattle ranch? His name was Louis Avila. The ranch was the Broken Arrow Ranch, purchased for $350,000 in 1970 (just think about those real estate prices compared to now!). Reportedly, Avila was giving Young a tour of the place and asked him how a young man like him could afford a place like this. Young, aged 25, replied "Just lucky, Louie, just real lucky." Avila was quite bemused.
Really nice to see someone so young who is smart enough to recognize how great these timeless tunes were and still are. You do a great job breaking it down to digestible parts and set the framework such that individuals can then sneak in their own little adds. thanks much
Thanks for the great tutorial! Impeccably delivered!
Do you have a breakdown of Cowgirl in the Sand?
Please explain up-strum more Cleary as well as the entire strumming pattern. You really just went into detail on the hammer on. It would be super helpful if you can spell out the patterns with strings for intro. Thank you.
I think you were a 60's hippie in a former life! You definitely have a Hippie soul girl! Rock on!
Thanks sounds great, from Ohio
Why would two people NOT like this? She is providing a free , detailed lesson, well thought out and delivered . I knew how to play some of these songs, but still pick up useful tips from her lessons.
There are always negative people in the world leave them walk by
What a great lesson. I have just stumbled upon this fantastic post while looking for new songs to learn in the future. I have just had surgery on my left thumb which needed to be fused after blocking something which was thrown at my head. I have been in a pretty negative place as I received no compensation, had to pay for the operation myself and was forced to resign from my work due to not being fit enough to carry out my work duties. My hand is in a brace at the moment to stop movement of the thumb during the rehab period. The positive is that I have time to browse the net looking for material for future use and this lesson is number one on my list. Thank you Angela.
I love the way you break down every section and give us the chance to grasp it. You are a very good teacher.

Old Man is one of my favourite songs of all time. 😀 Would be great to see a run-through of Dogs from Pink Floyd, one of my favourite albums is Animals. I get goosebumps every time I listen to the whole album. Well, it's a concept album, so it's a shame to only listen to single tracks. I get totally lost in the music.
Very masterfully done! Patient teacher! Love it ❤
Love the way you teach. Good loud, clear instructions and lots of repetition of each bar.
Great job Angela! Always a pleasure to follow your lessons!
This is probably one of the most beautiful and heartful songs ever written... oh..then there is "Needle and the Damage Done"... "Suite Judy Blue Eyes"......
You're awesome...love playing along yo your "lessons". Song choices are right on!
This is the best lesson for this song. Thank you so much. I really like your playing style and the songs you choose. I saw you play “The Rain Song” on a Norm’s Rare Guitars video. Would love to learn that song too!
Hi Angela
It's been 2 years since you posted this video so not sure if you still check comments, but ...
I just want to thank you for putting this lesson out.
I've been looking for EONS for someone who plays this song correctly and teaches this song in a way that I understand, and you hit the nail on the head !!
You play it correctly, and not many youtubers out there that do.
So thanks again !! :))
Thanks for the kind words, Terry! I am so glad this lesson helped you! Happy playing!
So true! Angela is “good people” and you can tell she cares…
I am in my 50’s and it’s fantastic that you play all these songs I grew up listening to! Awesome job!
fantastic how a very sick man from 68 still can use your amazing clear lesson
wilfried from zolder belgium
Love this song, love the way you played it!!
Great song, thanks for the lesson.
I used to think rock solos were the only thing I should play.
But, it's all about rhythm guitar.
You do such a good job with this song, I am 65 years old and play daily , for enjoyment. Love your lessons and your pace of explaining things. Thankyou , Dang that Martin sounds good.
A newbie on guitar, I have always thought Neils acoustics would be so hard with all of his little taps between and during chords. You show that anyone can do it with practice. I know he has other songs with even more taps, but you made me believe its just practice and patients. BTW, how bout Neil closing out the Canadien Olympics all by himself? My favorite Angela if you never seen it. (1645) Neil Young - Long May You Run - Vancouver 2010 Closing Ceremony | Music Monday - RUclips Song is so deep that most people don't know he wrote that song about his car. Such an amazing song.
This is one of the best instructional videos I have seen on RUclips. Thanks
Love the way you teach guitar!❤
Watching from Port St Lucie, Florida. Favorite venue is the Hard Rock Casino, down Miami way.
Great stuff Angela. Wish I could see you in Chicago's Zepparella's show. Your understanding of fine music, and love of it, is just fantastic!
Not viewing live but re live music in So Cal locally Harvelles in Santa Monica, the Greek Theater is the better mid sized venue, shout out to Concerts by the Sea in Redondo beac (they still open?) and Catalina Bar and Grill. Seen some shows 150 miles west at the Chumash casino ( looking forward to Englebert Humperdinck coming up in February).
Goon riff review, TY. Struggling on that iconic opening F7 riff.
Neil Young wrote the song about an old man that takes care of his ranch in California, but clearly most young men driving home to their parent's house from their first away from home are going to assume that the term "Old Man" refer's to a man's father, and this is why the song is so emotionally engaging. Most guys whose father stayed around, are indeed just like their Old Man, and they know it! And there is certainly nothing wrong with that.
Desde Chile un gran saludo para tí, también por las excelentes clases.
Tuve una guitarra con cuerdas metálicas pero se la vendí a un amigo porque era una dreadnought ( folk ) muy hermosa pues tenía el mástil muy delgado....era para dedos finos
Listening from Newberg, Oregon. What gauge strings do you use. Your Martin sound great--deep, rich, extended bass overtunes..
Can you teach us Man of the World..Fleetwood Mac...it is a very Romantic and great Mac number...thank you ❤
Okay, you are my new favorite RUclips teacher. You are well above my level, but explain everything succinctly. I should be able listen a few times and get it.
Neil Young's total style was so beautifully wonky and original... One of the greatest songwriters of the 100 years
Finally found an instructor who I can follow! Thank you for taking the time to slowly show us the notes and techniques!
I was born in England but moved to USA when I was eighteen.
I have to say this is my favorite song ever and it’s the third one that I have heard you teach me and it’s the best one I’ve yet played on this for forty years I am from Arkansas and thanks
Your an angel I could not figure out the run in C but I am finally playing it right Thanks :-)
Great lesson and you are my new favorite RUclips instructor and while I can play Heart of Gold which came out when I was in my early teens, I have always struggled with Old Man. Thank you Angela for your lesson as I can play it now! Wow, we have such the same taste in music!
First saw you playing with Zepparella I'm a fan. Thank You
Hello from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
Good afternoon Ms Angela, first question, are you still live every Saturday on RUclips? So far I’ve learned a few Neil Young tunes. Currently I’m looking for a good tutorial for “Southern Cross,” have you done one yet? If not I’m open for suggestions! Thanks for sharing your time with the rest of us!
Привіт з України. Дякую! Дуже сподобалась Ваша манера викладання
Danbury, CT favorite venue Jones Beach. Love your lessons and thank you!
I always wonder what really great songs you pick up - I mean, I'm in my mid-fifties and luckily I had the opportunity to catch one last gleam of this fading fantastical era back in my youth, but you're about two generations younger than me, so where do you know all these songs from ?!?
You are a fantastic teacher. I love the patience and breaking it all down. Thank you!
Might make a note on the video comments that you are bringing it down to a D major instead of a B major with that middle finger. It’s at 9:53 in the video. A newbie might have a snag over that.
God Bless! Thanks again! Keep up the good work
My favourite acoustic song. Great words and Neil Young's voice is so mesmerizing. Good lesson Angela - I like your enthusiasm.
Your patience means so so much ..........Massachusetts
Re practice slowly and practice right and left hand coordination that and also practice singing need coordinating timing with voice too
CUYUTLAN MEXICO ...thanks great tips
Fav places- either beaver dam Kentucky or Nashville. Both right at home.
Where did you appear from..😍🔥......I just looove you🌹💝
Tricky tough but tenable. Always good to look at more than 1 vid to learn it succinctly.
Not “Americana” at all, it’s all “Canadiana” 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
THANKS ANGELA YOU ARE SO GOOD ,I AM HAPPY WHIT THIS,AND ALL YOUR VIDEOS THANKS A LOT GREATHINGS FROM THE NEDERLANDS CITY ROTTERAM XXX
You are so good. I am from Austria. Thank you for this realy good video.
Pensacola Florida and I love going to Orange Beach Alabama for could good concerts
Can I just marry you now?😉First though, I'm gonna master this song. Raincheck on a duet?
That's not how he plays that
You are absolutely right, and why does it take over an hour to demonstrate such a relatively simple song.? I get the impression she likes the attention just a little too much. This could be taught in 10 minutes, max..
Love your style of teaching ! I've learned so much
Hey a female girl that's always talking about fishing I got a couple of different buddies that love to go fishing
From Austin great job the words placement may help
Great tune love your teaching,,
Enjoy your videos you break down songs easy to play like your style and guitar awesome color sound really nice
You are just so awesome !!!still practicing !!!
Thank you, you are fantastic teacher !!!!! Xx
Hello Angela - Have you played a Zager brand guitar yet? If so, how did you like it?
I love the fact that you break everything down, you are a great teacher
Youre a great teacher Ang! - What I would love to see is you play the song as well. I learn better seeing the song played. Keep up the good work!
She started by playing the whole song. Around 1:15.
Thanks Don! Keep on playing!
Your face on the "country-ish" G chord was priceless...
You really nail it Angela. Your guitar and playing sound pretty much exactly the same as the original Young's record, just amazing. Also, I agree a hundred percent with all the praise posted here about your talent, patience, teaching method... You're just fantastic. Can't wait to grab my instrument again, inspired and motivated by you. Thank you so much!
Thank you for the kind words, Benjamin!
NASHVILLE TN has the best live music.
But thankyou so much i really enjoyed the video and i love the way you play the song and teach as well

Thank you for the kind words! Be sure to subscribe to my channel to stay up to date on all my new lessons!
Neil Young is such a disappointment for free speech.
