this thread has likely taken long than it took to write the song. Thanks for making an effort at a tutorial. Sadly, I'll bet you've learned your lesson now about trying to help others!

Mostly because of the G chord, not sure if I'll change to the dropped tuning, although I definitely like it for the rest of the song, so I'll be looking at more options for playing G.

LoL! That's probably true, but it sure shows how much we like the song.

The only thing really for the OP, is to see if he likes what we've thrown out there for him and to maybe make mention that his version may vary from the original. I for one and glad to have seen a few posts that have already changed how I'll be playing it from now on. Even if they were small points, one quick try and I liked them. Everyone else should do the same, if they want to progress that is.

Yes, yes. Many of us wanted to help, but then along comes the retribution from those who would prefer letting others learn the song, replete with mistakes intact.

The G is easy enough in drop D as 5-5-0-0-0-3, which is I think how Neil plays it.

There's no law about having to play a song the same as the original! In fact, it's good to demonstrate different ways of getting (more or less) the same sound. Definitely no quarrel with that. Even Neil does things differently sometimes (e.g., lowering the key of Helpless, to better suit his ageing voice).

I don't intend to be patronising to the OP, and I don't believe one has to play a song in the identical way to the original. It's just important to explain the differences. Some people do want to play it identical.

I do apologize if I was harsh. I’ve learned things in this thread and I thank those who helped dissect the song. Carry on!

My apologies! For some reason I thought you were the OP (under a different name).

Really? "Neal Young" didn't write Harvest Moon. Neil Young did! Last edited by Al Acuff; 07-22-2019 at 09:42 AM. |

I guess that in my life I've heard so many major artists play their own material so many different ways (some times I could barely recognize the song) that I just don't get too bothered when folks make mistakes...we all make them, none of us are perfect...if I don't like the way one person is doing it, I'll just find another version I like... I heard a well know guitarist whose name escapes me at the moment, who said "If you make a mistake, play it again with authority so everyone thinks you meant it..."
