Neil Young - Barn Documentary

@dadork 

"He doesn't really get spoken of when the topic of guitar players comes up, but I think he's truly top 10". 

I like Neil's playing but "top ten"?  Really? Compared to singer-songwriters like Richard Thompson or Bruce Cockburn (not to mention Johan Mayer), Neil's guitar playing is pretty primitive. But perhaps actual playing skill is not the standard you're using... care to explain? 

I was of course referring to John Mayer, not his German cousin, Johan...

Neil would almost need to be compared in a different category of guitarists.  Like grunge or hybrid grunge LOL - one thing for certain he is a rocker and has a consistent  tone when playing a rock song.  And that is very satisfying to me.

I was surprised to discover out that I have more NY albums than any other artist.

I forgot to mention @bigquery Barn is also one of my latest and best additions.

Neil definitely in my top ten live artists, would go see every time he came around. Heard Barn last listening session for first time, these guys can still rock. And I do like the fact Neil has a conscience and has the freedom to exercise it.

I'd agree Neil is different type of guitarist in that he is not the most technically proficient, yet he has unique style, so emotive! His wall of sound when wailing is awe inspiring to me! And yet he can be subtle and gentle at other times.Neil is one of the good ones, misunderstood at times, certainly an iconoclast.
