This song from Neil Young's "Harvest" album has been very close to my heart for a long time, it's very personal to me and very true.
Recorded it in one take. Messed around with Pitch Correction on my voice, but decided against it; it's not true to the song and it sounds "flanged"
Guitar: Seagull. Mixed piezo pickup and Shure SM58 @ 30cm.
I used a dynamic mike for the vocals as well; I don't like the sound of the built-in mikes.

Perfect job there.  I love early Neil Young.  What kind of mic did you use, your voice sounds very natural and live, very nice.  Great guitar playing.  I love playing this one on my Seagull also (but not as good as you).  Please tell me how you recorded your seagull, I am struggling to get a good recorded sound with my seagull plugged in like you have done.

Alternate Tunings: CAUTION: your fingers have to be in different places

Bro

I should listen to that album, great job. Is there one or two guitars?

Anyway great work!
If you loose track over a chord progression, play as fast as you possibly can. Nobody will know. Thats how they invented bebop.
