Easy Neil Young songs

I've been in a Neil Young music trip lately and I'll like to learn some NY songs. Right now, I know how to play Heart of gold, RITFW and don't cry no tears. Helpless seems to be easy to.

Any other recomendations?

Thanks

    Try Cinnamon Girl- its not too hard. Tune your low and high E strings to D first.

    Too Far Gone

    i'd never heard of this song til Mike McCready mentioned it as one of his favorites in an interview...then i looked it up and discovered it's actually on Freedom, the same album as Rockin in the Free World

    and, it's awesome and easy to play

    the intro may be a bit much, but if you skip to the chords its just like G D C G the whole song
    "I'll tell you what: If all I had was Pearl Jam, and I didn't have another band in the world, I would not be worried. Because in there is the essence of making great music. You don't have to use it all at once, but it's there." - Neil Young

    Needle and the Damage Done

    Look up justinguitar.com. He does a lot of Neil Young video lessons. Marty Schwartz does too. Both guys have YouTube channels you can search. Their teaching method, in my opinion, is the best there is. They play the tune, break down chords, strumming patterns, fingerstyle, everything you'd need to learn the song. Super easy to follow and a lot of fun.

    Good luck.
