Today in an unexpected guitar news, Neil Young gave a guitar lesson to Meryl Streep. Yes, really.

Ricki and the Flash director Jonathan Demme already told Entertainment Weekly that Meryl Streep actually learned how to play the guitar when preparing for her role as rock n’ roll singer-guitarist Ricki Randazzo in the film, and that she had some “really cool people” coming in to help teach her. Apparently one of them was Neil Young!

Watch as Streep gets a guitar lesson from Young in the video above. Some insightful advice from Neil Young: “Turn everything all the way up. That’s what you always do. Everything.”

While Neil Young isn’t yet one of our Educators, you can get a guitar lesson from our world-renowned faculty, including artists such as Larry Carlton, Robben Ford, Tommy Emmanuel, Dweezil Zappa, Sonny Landreth, David Grissom, Andy Timmons, and many, many others. Enjoy!
