how to play "Harvest Moon" on guitar by Neil Young | acoustic guitar lesson tutorial

Beautiful way you explained how to do this song. I will practice and just subscribed to your channel. Thanks!

uauuu

This is the best tutorial video of this song I have found so far, and I haven’t even finished watching!
You clarify the chords and strumming patterns in a simple way that is easily understood.
So grateful I found this video and thank you!!
🙏🏼🎸🎤

Great lesson. So clear and concise. Subscribed!

This song has become quite popular over the years and I believe is something like Neil’s second-most downloaded song now. Quite an achievement for an artist whose best work was considered behind him when it was released in 1992.

Ok that D riff in the verse is a tough one but after a hundred times through it I'm nailing it.
I watched 4 other tutorials on this and kept coming back here for the expert class.
Funny how a lot of Neil's songs are filled with tricky chord shapes and hammer ons/offs
Thank you !

I started playing this song the other day, my wife gave me the wink, and dragged me into the bedroom🤩🤩🎶🎶.
Thank you👍🏻👍🏻

When someone wants to learn a song, check with you first! You'll get 'em playing it FAST. Thank you!

What model Taylor ? You are my go to for a proper lesson. Thanks so much ! Great song and Rolling Stone rated this as Neil’s 37th best…imagine that

I played this song in my... youth 🤣. Recently I picked up "Country Girl (Whiskey Boot Hill)" from the CSNY Deja Vu album, which has a similar vibe / shuffle, and this one started going through my head again. I was pleased to find your tutorial, which looks exquisite with the guitar against the background, and also sounds great. It all came back pretty quickly. Now I'll be playing this one to death. Thanks.

Yep! I've taught that myself, and those harmonics are dead on!

When I need to learn a cover song CORRECTLY, I first check with your site. Oh wait, you are from Canada. I meant "cheque" :)

Awesome as usual

Shut up and play.

Love it! Picked up my guitar and started working on it. Youre my fav channel. Still working on your Sultans of Swing fills... good stuff!

I love how he mixes his rhythm up just a bit

Love these videos. Great for learning how the recording was done and to your point, the artist (in this case Neil Young) rarely ever plays it the same twice. Once I learn these the way they were recorded, I turn around and make them my own.

Thanks a lot, you teach very well, it's easy to get

Très beau travail.

Dude!! Excellent tutorial as always. Really like your videos.

Great lesson as always, and love the writeups you do on your website. A small suggestion (enhancement) for this lesson - at the end of the chorus (the alternating A7sus4 to A7)I do a brief “chord walk up”, all down strokes, starting with the last A7, like this:
X02020
X04030
X05050
X07070
Before going to the final iconic riff. I can “almost” here this on the recording, but in any case, especially for a solo player, I think it’s a nice enhancement.

This is the only tutorial that really breaks down that D riff part!!! Thanks <3

Great lesson..addressing all the nuances. Thank you.

wonderful job Andy for a wonderful love song, one of the very best Neil - or anyone- ever wrote. In the same category as George Harrison's "Something": a classic that will stand the test of time for sure. You rock

Thanks a million. Nice tutorial. Thanks for sharing

I love Neil Young man,such a way with the guitar. So simple yet so elegant and mysterious

I started to make a comment and then realized no matter what comment I make it still comes down to shut up and play. Yeah I know.. shut up and play. But a as long as I'm yapping, after watching some other lessons on this song, I now realize 'Shut Up And Play' could apply as well to the people giving lessons. Your lessons are concise and to the point and when you do talk it's relevant and informative. So thank you very much for shutting up and playing 😊

Great stuff, Andy. Thanks - and time I feed the tip jar!

great video - great job - great song. thumbs down from lynyrd skynyrd band?

You got detail that I totally missed thank you

Qual seria essa Afinação ?

That´s worderfull! Great job guy!

I read a comment somewhere mentioning you are Canadian. If so then you are doing us proud!

Thanks for the harmonics! I've never been about to get that.

Thank you. I never knew all that great stuff was in there.

Thank you for calling me out on the „too much strumming“ approach to this song! :-) I‘d even covering it for a few years, on and off, and always overdoing it. You saved me from that, and I learned a thing or two (or three) about the best way to handle the upstrokes/downstrokes, plus a couple of small points I‘d been glossing over. I‘d first watched about 3 other videos of yours today...and subscribed immediately after watching the first one! Love your skill, thoroughness without „too-muchness“, and relaxed style of delivery! You rule, dude! :-)

MARAVILLOSO. Gracias!!!

as always inspiring. Thank you. is that a metronone playing?

Not just the magical playing, the stories are amazing, informational, they put you there. Best ever!

What a fantastic straightforward lesson, clear and informative, well done and thank you for sharing your knowledge 👏👏

Every song you teach is so spot on dude. All of my guitar friends are amazed how close I am to the original pieces. I send them your way. I have corrected my bad covers since finding your site. Thank you. I checked out a couple other lessons, and they overplay it just like you said. After your lesson, I played with Neil's unplugged video and it sounds dead on. Thanks for sharing your gift.

Great tutorial, I listened to the live version and picked up a few things Neil does.  It is a beautiful song.  What key is the harmonica in?

great video , great tune , good job teaching ,, way back in the early 60's learning to play was so much different than it is today , one of the better things the internet has to offer , these gem guitar lessons

Thx Tim, so much.

Beautiful. Thanks.

Man blessings to you Andy...

perfect presentation when you played it full

Another great song. I've been meaning to ask you...where do you get those great backing tracks?
