Neil Young - Oh Lonesome Me

oh , lonesome me
neil young
after the gold rush

richard blackwell ( rdb2010@shaw . ca )

i found a rendition of oh , lonesome me by neil young on youtube . i capoed up
four and tried playing along for a while . this is what came out .

neil seems to like to pull – off/hammer – on notes in his chords ( E . G . , in this piece
the E ( middle finger ) in his open C chords , the A ( again , middle finger ) in his
open F chords ) . those oh – so – neil – like embellishments are not reflected here .

standard tuning
capo on 4
