There are a lot of different chords and unusual changes but this is a very fun song to play. It is more of a mini-suite of tunes connected by a couple instrumental interludes, both of which transfer fairly easily to solo guitar.

The song has four different sections, none of which could really be considered a verse as they never return. The songs are quite different with lush arrangements and accompaniments. Here We Are In The Years is from Neil Young's first solo album, released in 1969 just after he left The Buffalo Springfield. It is rounded out with selections from After The Goldrush (lesson from Vanessa) and Harvest (Out On The Weekend). The CSNY version was really a medley of some earlier songs of his, Whiskey Boot Hill and Down, Down, Down. It also includes Country Girl, which first appeared on CSNY’s Déjà Vu but was occasionally performed solo by Neil.

This set of Neil Young lessons digs deep into his first solo album with Here We Are In The Years and The Old Laughing Lady, (which is done on Double Dropped D Tuning).
