    Learn how to play Cinnamon Girl, as performed by Neil Young and Crazy horse released in 1969 on the Everybody Knows this is Nowhere album. A great piece of two guitar artistry between Neil Young and Danny Whitten who also sang the high harmony with Neil.
    The lesson covers their two parts, and details the nuances between both of their parts that compliment each other perfectly.

    Saw Neil and Crazy Horse in May. A stellar rock and roll show. I was stunned by Neil's energy and passion at 77 years old. Amazing.

    Neil Young took drop D tuning and made a hall of fame songwriting career out of it. I've been playing this song for a few yeas but I still stop to watch your video so I can REALLY know how to play it! Love all the little details you added.

    It’s amazing how many of my favorite tunes from back in the day were performed with alternate tunings. Thank you for decoding this one!

  • @michaelbarbour9827
    @michaelbarbour9827 2 дня назад +3

    This is the first song that I worked out all the parts to, and recorded on my old 4-track by myself. 2 guitars, bass, 2 voices and an old Alesis drum machine for the drum track. I forget how I mixed it down, but I fit everything into 4 tracks somehow. Yeah it was a little muddy, but 19 year old me was pretty proud of myself!

    Bravo! Great lesson. Felt the thrill of learning how to make a great song sound correct.
    I saw Sonic Youth open for Neil and Crazy Horse in '91. Both bands were mind-blowing. If there are any Sonic Youth fans out there, you can do a passable version of "Total Trash" on the E and A strings in this tuning

    10 silver saxes
    A bass with a bow
    The drummer relaxes
    And waits between shows
    For his cinnamon girl!!!
    What a verse!!!!
    I love the live version where they repeat the bridge and expand on a second solo. Stretches it out a bit. This song is far too short.

  • @lorenzo6mm

    You might as well play in standard tuning instead of drop tuning here in this lesson. Its the bass notes also.
    The whole point of the drop tuning is to use all six strings ringing in the chord shapes. Especially the three open D notes in the first position chord and the slidfing barred third, fifth and seventh positions chords.
    Its way thicker and fuller.

    Thanks for the lesson. Been playing this wrong for years. Saw an old video where Neil Young showed some guy on the sidewalk, or in a parking lot, the double drop D tuning. Duh!
    Thanks again. Was already subscribed ;-)

  • @silvermanewj1898
    @silvermanewj1898 2 дня назад +1

    Way cool. I play that alone using the double drop D but on 2nd and 3rd frets as D and then the intro riff there with my pinky using open 6th and 5th till I do the G. Hope that's clear. What I'm saying is I never walked up the neck and it sounded right. lol
    Great pickin'.. as usual - one thing.. could you by any chance record both parts singly and then post the whole song or is it maybe a copyright thing?

  • @williamsadler6467
    @williamsadler6467 2 дня назад +1

    I used to have a guitar book of Decade where the turn around on Cinnamon Girl is given as a slide down and up rather than a jump. I wonder now what is correct.

  • @MichaelReeps
    @MichaelReeps День назад +1

    Gear question for you. Looks like you are threading the neck strap button through the face of your strap to compensate for one button being on the back and the other being on the side of the guitar. Is that right? I ask, because I have an Epiphone ES-339 with the same orientation and can find no other way of securing the strap without twisting it. I very much want to move the button, but like the SG, there is really no place to move it to.

    • @12footchain
      @12footchain  День назад +1

      Nothing fancy about it, just connecting to the front strap button so the strap lies flat faced like that. If there's a twist in the strap to connect with the button at rear of guitar, I let that twist happen behind me. Hopexthat made sense

    • @MichaelReeps
      @MichaelReeps 17 часов назад

      @@12footchain Totally makes sense. Funny how none of this stuff mattered when I was younger, but now I can feel every ounce of my 339. Getting a much wider strap, like you have, and keeping it untwisted seems to matter now.
