Excellent rendition of this Neil Young classic. The harmonica along with guitar rhythm is very impressive!

I love the full original version Daniel! Great rhythm and tone from your electric guitars! The SNL acoustic version was good too. But the original really drives down that track.

Nice performance Loraine. I like your pick-strum pattern. You should play this one at one of the VOMs. Thanks for posting!

That is super @jimp ! Barre chords open up so many possibilities once you get comfortable with them.

Nice work @GLAC ! I use a metronome and that allows me to increase speed slowly. The metronome has helped my speed improve a lot.

Thanks. My method has been start slow. Really slow. 40, 50 or 60 bpm. Use a metronome. Get clean and smooth at at a slow speed and then start increasing speed 5 – 10 bpm at a time. About 4 months ago I got smarter and started keeping track of how fast I can go on each exercise. When I come back to one I always dial the speed back a bit and then work up again. Usually 10 bpm at a time. What has been most beneficial is to slow things down to a speed where I can play them clean and accurate before I try to go fast. That has been key for me.

When I started TAC there were many that I couldn’t get anywhere near 80. I started some at 40 and started working up from there. Most of them I still struggle to play smooth at 120 or slower for the harder ones. But there are a handful that I am able to hit the higher speeds and it is really fun to get there. Motivates me to keep working on the hard ones.
