i think you're onto something here.
can you do another one where you tuned the guitar first?

Re: which version is out of tune?
I'm not sure I get what you are saying. Can you point to a segment in either clip where you think the guitar is out of tune?

in the first clip your G string is slightly out relative to the open low D, and gets worse throughout.
In the second one, your G and your B (at least) are waaay flat, from the get-go.
This is one of my fav. Neil Young songs. If you are going for his acoustic sound on Harvest Moon, its on the way with the plate verb and all, but your guitar is just too rattly to pull it off. Not enough body, try muting more with your strumming hand on the downstroke.
Or you can tell me to fuck off, you're playing it like you like to play it. But please keep your guitar in tune.

Are you using a heavy pick and gripping it really tightly?

Thanks, great tips
Interesting, I may have to check the tuning with an electronic tuner.
