Helpless by Neil Young is one of the best songs for beginner guitar players to learn. In this lesson, I break down the easy chord progression and simple strumming pattern so you can start playing it right away. The chords are straightforward, the rhythm is relaxed, and you can make the strumming your own to match your style.

This is a perfect beginner guitar song to build confidence, improve chord changes, and develop your strumming feel. If you’re learning guitar and want real progress, this is a great place to start.

Save this lesson and practice it slowly and clean. Then add your own personality to the strumming.
