[Am] [G] Neil Young has [N] just some fabulous songs out there and incredibly fun guitar songs to play,
many of which pose a lot of challenges.
This is of course, Don't Let It Bring You Down.
Now I've got my guitar and he played it in double drop D tuning, except in the old days
it was tuned a whole step low, which we could almost call double drop C tuning, I guess,
if we want, where all the strings were tuned down a whole step and then of course the D
strings would be tuned down two steps to C.
In more recent versions, he's going down even another whole step, taking the low strings,
the sixth and first strings, all the way down to B flat.
So this has gone on because as the years go on, he can't quite hit those high notes, so
he keeps tuning the guitar a little bit lower so he can sing the song and it's still pushing it.
I just give up and sing the song a whole octave lower.
It makes a lot more sense.
So I've put together a lesson on Don't Let It Bring You Down at Totally [D] Guitars.
We talk about some of the cool chords that he plays and a lot of variations on how you
could play [A] different ways of playing some of the chords because Neil is very good at
changing a song over the years.
[Bb] Sometimes he'll play his B flat chord with three fingers, sometimes he'll play it with
four fingers, sometimes he'll [Am] play his A minor 7 with one finger, sometimes he'll play it with [D] three.
[N] So it's just whatever he feels like doing at the time.
If he's sitting down, he may do one thing.
If he's standing up rocking out on the acoustic guitar, he might do something else.
So the lesson at Totally Guitars comes with a page that has the words and a chord chart,
but then also tablature that just spells out exactly how to finger the chords.
We don't go too far into exact strumming patterns because you have to be free and loose with the strumming.
So the chords are important, but the strumming is more a matter of making sure your hand
keeps moving at a fairly rapid pace for the quarter notes in the song, 120 beats a minute
or something like that.
So anyway, in the lesson we take a look [G] at all the chords you need, [N] some strumming techniques,
and then breaking it down measure by measure or at least section by section.
Each section is fairly simple in this one.
And then even a metronome play along, sing along segment that you can practice with.
