Some people say he can´t sing, some people say he is not a great guitarplayer. I prefer one finger stroke on a guitar string to the full performance of thousands of other so-called top singers. This man wrote the music and lyrics of my life, I was 17 when I bought After the Goldrush. Harvest in '72. Addicted for life, the best addiction ever.
I definitely agree. I was 12 in 72..and fell in love with his music to this day..the man's music is incredible & says so much....I don't agree with anybody who gives him a bad rap....
Awesome, man. Neil Young has definitely changed my life as well as far as being a musician. I couldn't play the way I play now before I really started listening and getting into Neil Young.
19 years old right now and just wish there was a scene like this man, just a small intimate venue with such an insane musician. I missed the best times honestly, social media and the internet is destroying our young heads. Edit (3/1/24): Thank you all for the words and stories in the past year, lots of growth, listened to you and started getting fairly serious about my own playing. As someone said, be the victor and not a victim. In the process of planning a few local bar shows! I come back here frequently to share in the love of this music with you guys so thank you.
You may like 'bright eyes' modern folk/rock post Neil and still touring. feel again.. back off tech a bit and form a band or support local music. You can create the best times again..
Yes, but there were a lot of terrible times in the 60s and 70s, there is a lot of power in today's age. Live in your own time and don't regret missing the past.
It's because of these advanced times that we get to watch these gems from the past at the touch of a few buttons. TH-cam is the closest thing to a time machine we have,at least we can watch all the great artists from yesteryear whenever we want
my big Blues Brother RIP loved to tell a story of how he and his buddy were just drinking beers in a regular bar in New England somewhere and Neil Young walked in unexpectedly with his guitar and just started playing to the surprise of all the patrons, this was back in the 1980's, a much more simpler time, a better time.
@@Thundergod- I remember a friend telling me he wrote "Clancy Can't Even Sing" when he was about 16 or 17. Not sure, but nothing surprises me with his genius.
Same here 😂 incredible video. I’m trying to learn this on guitar the way neil was playing in this video it’s going take a long time to do so but it’s too cool not to learn
Neil Young tuning a fan's guitar and showing him the intro to Cinnamon Girl in early 1970s Washington Square Park - it doesn't get much cooler than that.
Dam! What a treat! Talk about rare footage. I dont think that the viewers realize what they are watching here. This is someone's personal roll of film featuring a young Young in the very early days. Tuning the fan's guitar at the end is a gem bonus on the reel I have to say. Thank you for this gratis sweet slice of life from the past.
F*ckin' Cool! I learned that D Modal tuning he showed the guy back in the 70's when I started playing FROM Neil Young & Stills RECORDS using it. I knew immediately when I saw him in the "Backroom" footage he was in it. GREAT to know why "All the songbooks & sheets were WRONG!" Where's the "End of Cinnamon Girl" footage shot? GREAT POST! THANKS!
The tuning bit is something special and mostly never seen, but the tuning he used on so many of his songs created his sound and enhanced his style of strumming. He turned that fella's guitar into a Neil Young machine in under 30 seconds. Amazing!!
He's a perfect stranger Like a cross of himself and a fox He's a feeling arranger And a changer of the ways he talks He's the unforeseen danger The keeper of the key to the locks Know when you see him Nothing can free him Step aside, open wide It's the loner If you see him in the subway He'll be down at the end of the car Watching you move Until he knows, he knows who you are When you get off at your station alone He'll know that you are Know when you see him Nothing can free him Step aside, open wide I wanna live with a cinnamon girl I could be happy the rest of my life With a cinnamon girl A dreamer of pictures, I run in the night You see us together, chasing the moonlight My cinnamon girl Ten silver saxes, a bass with a bow The drummer relaxes and waits between shows For his cinnamon girl A dreamer of pictures, I run in the night You see us together chasing the moonlight My cinnamon girl Pa, send me money now I'm gonna make it somehow I need another chance You see, your baby loves to dance Yeah, yeah, yeah
I was someone's cinnamon girl once. I loved that man so deeply. But some things just don't work out. Everytime I hear this, I'm thrown back. And I wouldn't ever change a thing.💙❤
Funny, I always thought it was kind of a song about heroin lol. “A dreamer of pictures we run in the night..chasing the moonlight” or “the drummer relaxes and waits between shows for his cinnamon girl…I could be happy the rest of my life with the cinnamon girl”. Cinnamon Girl came out 3 years before “The Needle and the Damage Done”, a very anti-drug song, but in those 3 short years Neil’s opinion on things like heroin likely changed drastically after the severe addiction and overdose death of his Crazy Horse band mate & guitarist Danny Whitten. Bruce Berry, a roadie for Neil was introduced to smack by Danny and died of an overdose the following year, after which Neil released the album “Tonight’s the Night” with the title track of the same name alluding to Bruce Berry and his OD. It was by and large a darker album with more drug themes etc..than harvest which he’d released just 3 years earlier.
I'm 37 and feel I was born in the wrong decade. I was born in 1984 but wish I was born in 1944. At 13 Neil Young's music fed a soul I didn't realize I had
Man, I don't know what to say about Neil... I love that crazy bastard. Saying crazy stuff but Listen to this perfection!!! Neil gets a free pass in my heart...
Neil Young is one of those mind blowing artists that always evokes the sort of thoughts and feelings you may already have possessed but were not aware of. Whether it's the heartfelt vocals and awesome music and melodies he proffers, or the actual words to the songs, the human mind and heart are going to be impacted. There's just so much to say about this man that I realize a little comment-space is just not enough. I think I'll do a blog post on this: one of my all-time favorite musicians and inspirational men: Neil Young. But I will add this: When the song he wrote in response the the Kent State killings came out (Ohio), it induced a myriad of feelings in me. At first, I cried, then became angry over the atrocity....and somewhere in between, my admiration towards and my love for him (per what I've seen and heard from the man), became deeply rooted.
Neil é um ser tocado pelo universo. Tanta inspiração, tanta honestidade.. Difícil encontrar palavras pars o descrever... Deixa-nos à deriva e ao mesmo tempo não nos desampara, transporta-nos para o amor sublime
wow, a quick drop D tuning music lesson in the park from Neil Young caught forever, a lifetime path and remembrance from the maestro... oh what a lucky man he was...
@@a.m.phaneuf6164Drop D tuning means you tune the low E string down to D. Double Drop D is tuning both E strings down to D. All other strings remain in regular tuning. Drop D = D A D G B E. Double Drop D = D A D G B D. Hope that helps
A friend of ours (2 brothers &2 sisters) back in the 70's turned us on to Neil Young & CSN&Y I loved the music since and fell hard for this friend.this was back in the 70's I haven't ever forgotten him and never will. Best time of my life. We even stuffed (sardine style) 6 or 7 of us in a Ford pinto to go to a dance at a Pavillion in the next city over from where we lived best times ill never forget. I have never forgotten him never will. Lots of fun back then
This is what talent looks like. It's one thing to play well or to sing well...but to both simultaneously in front of an audience...without any obvious mistakes/imperfections (and without any backup/extra instrumentation to help cover up any you might make)...and to have written both songs, to boot...and they're songs with real, not-nonsense-lyrics...this is the kind of stuff that it takes to impress me after being jaded by years of TH-cam lol
This blend of a sort of percusive way to play guitar bringing back the deep country sound with a fresh touch, and a perfect expressive voice jamming...that'll be forever unique and his trade mark
The 'key' to playing Cinnamon Girl is double drop d tuning. Then you just "play the modal" as Neil says. The ending on the album version Everyone Knows This is Nowhere is all the chords to mess around with and he'd figure out the whole tune.
Turned on to Neil when I was 15 and still at school. Playing pool and listening to Harvest and After The Gold Rush. In between shots on the pool table, my cue was a guitar and I was Neil Young playing the solo on Southern Man. I’d just learned a few chords you see, on the guitar. I’ve been playing guitar for 50 yrs and I still love sitting down on the back porch jamming Cowgirl In The Sand and Old Man and Heart Of Gold. Cinnamon Girl & The Needle And The Damage Done. Don’t Let It Bring You Down. Love you Neil, thanks for a life time of wonderful memories.
When I first watched this video last night in a buzzed and stoned gaze, I stood completely still in such awe and amzament that I forgot where I was even standing. Neil Young is such an influential singer and song writer to me one of my all-time favorites amongst others. He has forever changed the way I hear, view, and play music for the rest of my life.
I come over a long line of great musicians in my family blah blah blah I got turned on to Neil Young by some miracle when I was about 12. I'm now 67. Not a total freak about him... Just when I listen to him.🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤😮
I always watch people until I know I know who they are .... The only problem is.... That can go too far..... Even if you think you know who they are don't get in the car.... If it seems too bizarre... The car might take you away from where you are... When were you belong is in this song... Until it goes wrong.... No song is ever wrong.... When it's in your soul🎉❤😂🎉🎉❤😂❤🎉❤😂🎉😂🎉
I saw Neil at an "Unplugged" (as they were all being called in the early 90's) show at "Star Lake" in Burgettstown, PA and to see this look back in time at the earlier versions of "Cinnamon Girl" was really fantastic! All these years later and I have my own Cinnamon Girl. Life is good.
Two mics taped together... One for the audience, and one for the mixing board. Sounds GREAT! Thank you for posting this time capsule. Neil was, is, and will always be a unique artist.
The Loner is my favorite Neil Young song! Love how he transactions into Cinnamon Girl! Great video! Notice no punk asses making a fool of themselves thinking they are bigger than the Artist! Glad I saw concerts in the 60's & 70's! People shut up got high and listen to the music for their truths!
I’m so excited because I’m going to See and Hear Neil Young with my Daughter. On Mother’s Day. Definitely a night of many new memories and a whole lot of fun.
This is so good and I found it just in time for my husbands birthday today he was born Nov18,1955 in the Mission District San Francisco! Eight Miles High little Joey Benoit!
Such a gifted artist. Only a handful can approach his brilliance. And what an amazing clip, where the heck did this come from? If he had only written those two songs, he'd be a legend, but that doesn't even scratch the surface of what he's done. Remarkable.
Grew up in Los Angeles. Saw most everybody at the Greek, Forum, Hollywood Bowl, Whiskey, etc. The best perofrmancce I ever saw was Neil Young by himself , just his voice and his guitar at the Dorothy Chandler Pavillion.
Some people say he can´t sing, some people say he is not a great guitarplayer. I prefer one finger stroke on a guitar string to the full performance of thousands of other so-called top singers. This man wrote the music and lyrics of my life, I was 17 when I bought After the Goldrush. Harvest in '72. Addicted for life, the best addiction ever.
I was in Atlanta,. I think was 84 , possibly 85 . Caught Neil young and the crazy horse , and the best show and live sound ever ! . HE ROCKED ! ...
I definitely agree. I was 12 in 72..and fell in love with his music to this day..the man's music is incredible & says so much....I don't agree with anybody who gives him a bad rap....
@@sharonbaird3764 Right on Sharon.. I'm a 60 model too. We grew up with the best music 🍷😎👌
Awesome, man. Neil Young has definitely changed my life as well as far as being a musician. I couldn't play the way I play now before I really started listening and getting into Neil Young.
Bob Dylan can't sing either.
19 years old right now and just wish there was a scene like this man, just a small intimate venue with such an insane musician. I missed the best times honestly, social media and the internet is destroying our young heads.

Yes, but there were a lot of terrible times in the 60s and 70s, there is a lot of power in today's age. Live in your own time and don't regret missing the past.
Spot on dude.
It's because of these advanced times that we get to watch these gems from the past at the touch of a few buttons. TH-cam is the closest thing to a time machine we have,at least we can watch all the great artists from yesteryear whenever we want
Make one dude
my big Blues Brother RIP loved to tell a story of how he and his buddy were just drinking beers in a regular bar in New England somewhere and Neil Young walked in unexpectedly with his guitar and just started playing to the surprise of all the patrons, this was back in the 1980's, a much more simpler time, a better time.
That happened to my brothers friends with Jimmy Buffet in RI acouple of weeks before he died. It was his last performance ever. RIP JB
I heard Neil Young would stop in bars along California coast in 70’s and sing unexpectedly. Never unfortunately was in one of those bars.
I wish I was that cinnamon girl….
Only some will appreciate how special this is 😮
No shit...arguably his best song ever...
I should have said "songs"...
He wrote The Loner when he was just 22. He already sounded like a wise old sage 3 times that age....
@@Thundergod- I remember a friend telling me he wrote "Clancy Can't Even Sing" when he was about 16 or 17. Not sure, but nothing surprises me with his genius.
I Love It!
I've watched this 100+ times and it never gets old. Neil is pure genius.
Reverend!!

I had it on loop all Friday night. And Ohio 😄
@YoungFishHomieHesMyth I just figured it out. It's not that hard. Drop both E strings to D (like he showed dude in the park). Sounds killer
For all the BS the Internet has brought us, uploads like this make it all worth while. Thanks!
Neil Young tuning a fan's guitar and showing him the intro to Cinnamon Girl in early 1970s Washington Square Park - it doesn't get much cooler than that.

I could watch this a million times and it still wouldn't be enough. Neil Young is an artist that paints with his guitar!
Yes, well said!
@@robinkline492 Agree.
Can you imagine,him tuning my guitar, i faint.
He's a perfect stranger
Like a cross of himself and a fox
He's a feeling arranger
And a changer of the ways he talks
He's the unforeseen danger
The keeper of the key to the locks
Know when you see him
Nothing can free him
Step aside, open wide
It's the loner
If you see him in the subway
He'll be down at the end of the car
Watching you move
Until he knows, he knows who you are
When you get off at your station alone
He'll know that you are
Know when you see him
Nothing can free him
Step aside, open wide
I wanna live with a cinnamon girl
I could be happy the rest of my life
With a cinnamon girl
A dreamer of pictures, I run in the night
You see us together, chasing the moonlight
My cinnamon girl
Ten silver saxes, a bass with a bow
The drummer relaxes and waits between shows
For his cinnamon girl
A dreamer of pictures, I run in the night
You see us together chasing the moonlight
My cinnamon girl
Pa, send me money now
I'm gonna make it somehow
I need another chance
You see, your baby loves to dance
Yeah, yeah, yeah
thank you!

Where is that footage omg it's amazing! Looks like Halifax.
A snapshot in time of the insanely gifted mind of a musical genius. Gold.
love how Neil finishes the words to The Loner while playing the opening bars to Cinnamon Girl smooth as silk change into the next song.

I remember the phrase "Out of Sight." I am going to start using it again.
LBCBlue,. Lol me too "Out of Sight!
I've known guitarists that dis this guy's playing. I disagree Neil is a great axe man and a writer of iconic songs. Thanks for posting. Cheers
And a high percentage of those guitarists who diss his playing don't play with the same passion and fire that he has lol
Neil Young at his absolute best.💗
True.
damn I am jealous of that dude at the end. Neil picks up your guitar, retunes it, shows you how to play one of his songs. thats cool
That's rock and roll\../
Very lucky individual indeed!
It doesnt get any better than that!
Although he is a rock-god he still has time to tune the guitar of a loving fan. Much love to Neil....🎼🎵🎶🎸
Man, I don't know what to say about Neil... I love that crazy bastard. Saying crazy stuff but Listen to this perfection!!!

You speak with an eloquence that is necessary when discussing this force of nature
Love Neil beyond words. Born cinnamon. Will die cinnamon. 💙💕
I can’t believe what I’m hearing and seeing .. this is pure gold
Neil Young writes the most romantic and yet tough and tender ballads, Cinnamon Girl, Helpless, Heart of Gold. And he's still writing them...
Imagine having Neil Young tune your guitar....
One of the best guitar player singer songwriter’s ever !! 👍👏👏👏😊🎸🎤
Thank you for these 2 gems. So beautiful
wow, a quick drop D tuning music lesson in the park from Neil Young caught forever, a lifetime path and remembrance from the maestro... oh what a lucky man he was...

An impromptu guitar lesson to a stranger in the park. Just try to imagine that guy telling his friends about that. “No really, it was Neil Young….”

The Rock God himself in the early days. Long may you rock, Neil! Love you and your work -- forever. No one compares.
My ears must be in heaven.
That’s so cool he showed the dude how to play it
The way he plays the guitar and his voice just let me contemplative, he transport me somewhere else.
Thank you mister Young !

The Loner my favorite Neil tune by far!
It is magical. 🎵

Well put! You nailed it!
I love the "Double-Drop-D" lesson at the end!
Absolute genius. Astonishing.
I'm 63yrs old now.....and echo your feelings!!!! So much lost......
Omg this is a hidden treasure!
first album i ever owned was NEIL self titled with the loner
followed by the album Everybody knows this is nowhere and the classic hit cinnamon girl
Unbelievably great piece. What a treasure.
This is what makes youtube great
The 'key' to playing Cinnamon Girl is double drop d tuning. Then you just "play the modal" as Neil says. The ending on the album version Everyone Knows This is Nowhere is all the chords to mess around with and he'd figure out the whole tune.
Shannon Hoon's voice reminds me of Neil Young's.
Such a gem this one is. 👍👍
Think BM toured with Neil Young
Neil's simply the Best!!!
Stunning.....
That was the quickest guitar lesson I've ever seen Neil didn't even bother telling him it was double drop D tuning , still a very hard song to play
He sort of did, Neil calls it "D modal", which you can hear him tell the kid.
It’s D modal. Dig it?

What a thing of beauty
I’m so excited because I’m going to See and Hear Neil Young with my Daughter. On Mother’s Day. Definitely a night of many new memories and a whole lot of fun.
I haven’t seen him since the late eighties
What continues to blow my mind is he recorded that song(CG) with a guy born in my hometown of Columbus, GA. Long live Danny Ray Whitten
Amen to that. May he RIP (orig. from Macon here).
These are 2 of the favorite songs of my life! I never heard play it this way. Gonna save this so I can get guitar part done right!
This is so good and I found it just in time for my husbands birthday today he was born Nov18,1955 in the Mission District San Francisco! Eight Miles High little Joey Benoit!
Fantastic. I've only heard the plugged in version of "Loner" from Live Rust. Thank you so much for the upload
Also the second song on Neil’s debut album
Love love this song
thanks for sharing ! Awesome... for ever one of the best musicians...
I Love Neil.
So cool. Love ❤️ these.

Nil Young has an impressive dynamic in his voice and is also a sensitive seer!!..
Grew up in Los Angeles. Saw most everybody at the Greek, Forum, Hollywood Bowl, Whiskey, etc. The best perofrmancce I ever saw was Neil Young by himself , just his voice and his guitar at the Dorothy Chandler Pavillion.
I'd put this in space as a relic of humanity...and maybe they'll have mercy on us.
Neil you are amazing...Merry Christmas everyone....
simple but beautiful guitar playing singing and captivating, extremely hard for most people to achieve, not for Neil
I live in Portugal with my most special cinnamon girl where I will be happy the rest of my life.
