An acoustic guitar lesson on how to play “Heart of Gold” by Neil Young. It’s off the classic Harvest album which was released on February 14, 1972, considered by many as his greatest album. To me this may be his best song ever. It’s stood the test of time and still gets a lot of attention today.
This is a great tune to learn for advanced strummers. Although there’s just four chords in this one, it’s not as easy to play as it appears as there’s a lot of palm muting going on and to get the “feel” right with the strumming it will definitely take some work.
The guitar I’m playing here is a Taylor 214ce koa deluxe. I really like this guitar, it intonates amazingly well and it’s tone is very balanced. It’s also very easy to play.
The strings are Elixir phosphor bronze 12-53 with nanoweb coating. These strings are a little bit more expensive, but for me they easily last 4-5 times longer than non coated strings.
Folks may be surprised at how much time and effort goes into creating these videos. If you’re getting something out of the lessons and can afford to contribute to the cause, I’ve setup a Paypal link. If you can’t afford it no worries, but if you can, any amount is appreciated and will help me to continue to make the videos.
