Thank you 
Brilliant stuff Ron. I think you got the guitar fx spot on for this one and I love the sound of the guitar you used. What is it you’re playing? Was there some pedal working going on there as well?

Thank you Stefan.
The guitar I am playing is a Maton Messiah 100C.
It is a beautiful guitar. Maton are an Australian company. They build Tommy Emmanuel’s guitars for him.
The pickup, pre amp system in this guitar is an AP5 pro designed by Maton for Tommy. It has individual piezo’s under the bridge for each string and a microphone as well.
I use 100% piezo and about 69-70% mic in my mix. All the other guitar eq, base, mid and treb are center.
I am also using a Zoom multi FX processor with my own design fx setup.
And finally it all goes into my Fishman Loudbox Artist acoustic amp. I then take the mix DI out of the amp into my Focusriite Scarlet 2i2.
The final bit is the scarlet into my iPad Pro where I record my video and do some final fx tweaking in an App called “impact”.
Cheers
Ron

Hi DJ,

Hi fellow Justineer’s,
I did this cover about 18 months ago.
I was inspired by a Justin lesson and gave it a go.
I just saw Justin’s latest lesson on From Hank to Hendricks and I thought I would also give that a go soon.
But I thought I’ll post this one first for the community to see and comment, and then we can do a comparison to From Hank to Hendricks when I post that to see if my harp playing has improved. 
Anyway, I hope you enjoy my take in this Neil Young classic.
Cheers
Ron

As one of the big Neil Young lovers here, I really enjoyed that, Ron.
This was either a totally dry recording or much lighter touch with the fx. On balance I’d lean more towards this sound than some of the other recent recordings with a far more wet sound on both guitar and vocal. Of course that is taste. If totally dry here then maybe try adding a wee bit of reverb and delay to see if it sounds better, while not getting to the levels of the recent shares.
Harp playing sounding pretty good to me. As said before, I’d be a happy camper if you were the entertainment in a restaurant where I was enjoying a long lunch with the family.

Hi David,
Thank you. The song was recorded a lot flatter than I do now.
I actually don’t like how flat it is. As you say, personal choice.
Thanks for the kind words on my harp playing. It was a bit jerky to my mind and I hope to improve with time.
Also thank you for your very encouraging words that you would love to hear me playing at a restaurant as the entertainment. Wow, high praise indeed.
Cheers
Ron

Hi Stefan,
Justin did a lesson grade 4 back the song back in 2920 I think.
I am a Neil Young tragic so I had to give it a go.
Glad you enjoyed it.

Very nice, fresh and easy to listen too. Enjoyed your finger work and vox. Good voice control. You have a nice tone on the guitar too, seems nice and bright, like new strings day. Doubled up vocals came out good and added a nice touch.
Keep up the good vibe and production,

Great song and I enjoyed your cover. I like how you played the riff using D-shape triads, I’m going to check that out.
