Yeah.. This guy sooo cool

This is the best KZread lesson on this classic song. As usual Thom has absolutely nailed the small details that make the biggest difference.

Neil Young is probably the musician's musician. Great songwriting and musical arrangements, what more could you ask for! Awesome work!

As an American Ex-Pat in Switzerland born with two left ears, you really have one of the best channels for people that will never pick up a guitar, You have respect for the artist, and talent to show his skills. And you play wicked well.

Thanks Lawrence, I'm glad you like the videos!

For me this is one of the defining songs of the early 70s. Once your hear the haunting melody you’ll never forget it. For sure one of the most soulful compositions and playing ever, combining the best elements of folk, western and pop rock.

Even when I think I know a song inside out, I always learn something new from your videos. Really great stuff.

I was going to post the same comment. The simplest songs sound so good when he plays them.

You and Paul Davids are just the best. My two Dutch guitar teachers ahah Greeting from Milan brother

Love this dude. The enthusiasm is infectious - such an important thing for a teacher. Also, he gets it right... has respect for the music.

You’re an inspirational artist with choices in music that are all favorites from my past 67 years of yesterday’s. Thanks from a sincere admirer.

Wonderful! I got to see Neil in 72 or 73, (memory lapse) acoustic only, all by himself.. it was surreal. Yes he can sing,, write, and play. Got to see Jim Croce too.. Similar talent there lost too soon.. Thanks for the video, it's awesome. I still have the Heart of Gold Guitar song book.

Neil has written some of the most enduring songs ever

Your analysis of music styles and artists is pure genius!

This might be the single best, most informative guitar tutorial I’ve ever watched. Outstanding!

Wow you have such an ear for all the subtle variations that make the differences of sound quality that original artists bring to their songs. Excellent teaching ability and priceless amount of work is given to your viewers. I really think these are the BEST lessons on KZread. Your enthusiasm is infectious and clearly shows your outstanding teaching skills ! I can only get better with every view of your great lessons and the knowledge you are passing on to viewers. Thank you very much for your hard work. Mike from Boston

Great tutorial. You really have a knack for pointing out great qualities in guitar playing that we might overlook and being able to clearly teach those techniques.

Insightful analysis, observation and a keen eye and ear are you Guitar Pilgrim! Thanks for you being you.

that bbc concert is one of the best concerts on film. No clapping,no phones, no heckling - perfect acoustic set.

You are the king of understanding and instructing nuance and fine details that many miss! Gratifying. 👍👍

really awesome! Being a virtuoso like you is a great goal, but getting a great rhythm guitar lesson that can give the average player tools that they can incorporate into multiple songs is really useful. I wish i saw this video 3o years ago!!!! thanks for the joy!

Damn, Pilgrim- you covered Neil like a boss ! Where were you and youtube 30 years ago when I needed ya ?

This is one of my favourite songs and usually performed in my concerts. Watching your analysis of it has been rather pleasant. Congrats, man.

Thanks again you really break down a song well and make it a simple lesson. My guitar skills have improved a lot since subscribing.

Probably Neil's golden song and moment. It is amazing to see that nobody from the crowd noticed the glory of this song at its first audition in the original video clip.

You're naturally really entertaining. Well done.

My favourite youtuber has just made a video about my favourite musician. Now I can finally die happy.

The words and music to this song are phenomenal,I remember when it was a new song,it was so cool.

I thought I was shot hot when I was able to strum along to this. Not sure, looking back, how well I did it, but it was early days and it gave me the inspiration to carry on. 30+ years later I am still banging away on guitars and loving it! I've been playing bands all this time and still think I have much to learn.

You are always so enthusiastic it’s totally infectious 🙌🙌👌👌

Great personality! Just what I was looking for thanks!

Really helpful💜, thank you

Bravo! Un gran piacere seguirti.

As always... great job! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

You give great commentary and video plus personal examples along with easy clear explanations & demonstrations with the right way and wrong way of doing things in a passionate and exciting way! Best way to learn! love it! Thanks man!

You always bring good stuff man.

This is very good. And difficult to teach. Neil's feel is his and his alone it's hard to duplicate but you demonstrated it well.

Old man is such a great song to play and learn from Neil. Great video

YT suggested to me this channel. The best suggestion ever! Thom, I watched most of your videos, keep doing what do, you are great! Definitely becoming your patron.

Your explanations are top ! good energy and feeling

That was awesome lesson Dude! Thank You and greetings from Poland !

I always learn so much from you. Thank you

Terrific video PG! Neil is for sure a pure musical genius.......😉👍🎸🎸👍😉

Every time I checkout the Pilgrims page I learn something new, I’ve played for years as well. Thanks once again for your videos my friend.

Excellent lesson

This us what a good teacher acts like..could hang with this dude alllll day....ah,the simple joy of life...gotta love it,gotta live it......perfect song to trip on,don't youthink?

Great video as always. need to add this song to my arsenal. thanks!

Neil Young ... just epic!! Great post, Thom!!

Great demonstration and placement of King Creole album.

I love this thanks for featuring Neil Young.

Well done. I recently learned this song on request. Easy tune but you have captured some important nuances in an easily digestible form. Again, well done!

Thanks Pilgrim........Awesome lesson.....I will subscribe.....ROCK ON !

I've been playing Neil Young ever since he was young.

Awesome video good sir !!

I love Neil Young's stuff. Your videos too Pilgrim! Dank je wel friend. :)

Lovely, thank you ❤

Pilgrim is a genius breaking all these down and playing them perfectly.

Excellent Thanks for sharing 👍🙏🎸🎼🎶

Great man keep it up........

Nice video, thanks for posting!

This is one of the best guitsr channels. Period.

Love playing Neil Young songs. He plays them differently every time... big help, you can get away with making sound like it ought to be the song, but not quite. Lots of it is in the rhythm, picking, hammer ons & palm muting. His electric & rockier songs soung great on acoustic also.

Awesome!

Really great!

Deine Art zu unterrichten ist grandios!!!! Hab vielen Dank

Love your videos and your blue shirt haha Where can I buy it?

Loved Neil Young when I was a kid and still do. Heart of Gold was one of the first songs that I ever learned on acoustic guitar.

Awesome Awesome video man. Just what I needed I am working on My own. Thanks for the help❤😂

Thank-you so much for featuring Neil Young. Have followed your channel for a long time so it was a real treat when I saw today’s post featuring Neil Young, one of my all-time favorites. “The Needle and the Damage Done”, “Cinnamon Girl”, “Down By The River”. There are so many great choices, but I guess you selected a song suited for acoustic guitar. For me, Neil Young songs are like masterpiece paintings. Each one creates a music landscape. It’s not that he tries to play a flurry of notes but instead creates a mood. He is like no other. I don’t have enough music theory knowledge to be able to explain it but it’s like seeing Rembrandt or a Vermeer for the first time. You know it’s something extraordinary even if you can’t paint. Please, delve into more Neil Young. By the way, thanks for making your lesson easy enough for a beginner like me.

Love me some Neil Young. Perhaps something a bit more challenging like Neil's "Captain Kennedy"? That sea chantey style is great but I am stumped on even attempting to play it. Thanks for the great videos sir and stay safe.

When you have Passion ❤you can do everything!!

Neil Young one of Canada's most beloved exports for us old timers. Pete Seeger had written on his guitar " this guitar fights fascism " . They were true poets that sang songs of the politics of the sixties and early seventies.

Great lesson! Thanks groetjes from Utrecht

Great stuff, thank you. And what a delightfully quirky little clip of Young strumming Out on the Weekend on the banjo which, by the way, would make for a great tutorial by you! :)

I like this guy.

I am still waiting for "Chicken in the Corn by Brushy One String."

Great lesson thank you so mych.. I recognised the King Creole album immediately as I have an original copy borrowed from a friend’s mother 40 years ago 😂

Good job on that!

Congratulations! Great work. I subscribe with the hope that you will show how to play Neil Young's Captain Kennedy, only three chords, but really hard to get the sounds he is capable of producing out of the guitar. I've tried a thousand times, but it's impossible for me to even get close to what he does. Thank you!

Do some of his electric stuff, like Cortez the Killer or Like a Hurricane

Imortal Neil Young!

Love me some Neil Young. Great video! As distinct as NY's voice is, so is his electric playing (not the subject of the video, obviously).

It would be awesome If you talk about some of the electric work from him, too.

I Need to know the "overthrown" embellishments at the end! It sounded soo good

Heart of gold is my favorite song by Young.

Your lessons are terrific. Would love to see you focus on Pete Townshend for a video,

Not a lesson but a better way to expo'se a very great song and composer well done

How much cool and amazing you can be, great video And as a suggestion, why not a collaboration with a Bass player ? I'm thinking of Charles Berthoud

I love Neil Young

i love the video... U R DA BEST!! But, man, u r teasing us with Elvis' King Creole in the background. Any chance u can do a song from that classic Elvis album? Did I mention u r da best (lame attempt at buttering u up) big thanks as always

Love all your stuff. What about doing some metal? Maiden? Metallica? etc.

Very very good song sir your very teacher

And guys don’t forget..Make sure you take 23 hours and 55 minutes setting up before you play.

I love you guitar pilgrim. Carol, USA

Hey, I like the King Creole album on your mantelpiece!

Another great and passionate singer/songwriter which is worthwhile to watch is Jason Isbell. Maybe next time?

Make a vídeo about Baden Powell or João Gilberto!

Those times when he play something cool than he stops and laughs, are priceless ahaha
