Song: This Old Guitar
Artist: Neil Young
Album: Prairie Wind
tabber: chaindog51

This is one of me favorite Neil Young songs.  He wrote this song about the guitar that he uses
to play this song with actually.  It originally belonged to Hank Williams and the guitar itself
is over half a century old!

Drop D tuning

This is the main riff that he plays throught the song.  Listen to the song to get the rhythm.

just play these two riffs continuesly through the whole song

after the choruses he throws this riff in that is reminiscent of a Harvest Moon riff
