Pale Blue Eyes by The Velvet Underground, Part 2, Lead & Solo | Guitar Lesson

[@henrykrinkles2208]

It's uncanny how many of my favourite songs you seem to focus on. Stuff that a lot of people don't do. You sir, are a prince amongst men.

[@darrell6800]

I agree

Sterling Morrison is the most innovative and underrated guitarist of pop music...a true guitar hero..

[@indieguy81]

You have such great taste in music! Your lessons on the Smiths, Siouxsie, VU, Stooges, etc. are like fresh water in an endless youtube desert of boneheaded jock rock and pointless shredding/noodling. Obviously you have an ear for good songwriting. I always look forward to your lessons because I know not only will they be clear, concise, and helpful, but it will probably be one of my favorite songs too! (The version of this on the live '69 album is one of the greatest recordings ever) Thanks for being so generous in sharing your work.

[@cskueny]

David Babb took the words out of my mouth. I was thrilled to see you add Pale Blue Eyes to your collection of wonderful lessons. I'm always happy to see more VU.

[@davidzubiria3783]

Why don't you just fuck. Or in the Spanish meme aber cojan.

[@paulmeyer1756]

Thanks. I knew Sterling when he was in Austin. This helps me understand his musical contributions much better.

[@acpg]

Pleased you found the video interesting Paul. Sterling was one of the greats in my opinion!

[@natanshayevich7531]

VERSE: 2:40 CHORUS: 9:05 SOLO: 13:21

[@unemployablegraduate]

Astonishingly good lesson, thanks very much Adrian. Your stroke of genius here is to realise that the song was probably played with open G shapes in F with the guitars dropped a whole tone. It certainly makes the solo a lot easier when you realise this.

[@Trey7105]

This is one of the most underrated solos ever!

[@phillhunt1655]

Your love of Pale Blue Eyes really shines through in this lesson. Great stuff

[@BeatPoet67]

Came to this while gin soaked and on a VU quest. Instantly teared up. Music. Fucking hell. Beautiful lesson.

[@Terencetembre1001.]

Lovely Lou,what an astoundingly talented songwriter was he, bliss.

[@johnyfargot]

one of the most beautiful songs ever. Thanks for your great work and taste, I´ll be playing it the whooole day :)

[@kurtisformosaguitar3237]

Really love your videos and music taste. This one was especially helpful as I've incorporated this song into my gigging setlist!

[@richardpleash9466]

Mate this is fantastic! You are my go to person when I want it simple. Thanks!

[@aaronrothenburger4178]

You always know the songs I want to play. Came here from your Gang of Four vid.

[@blueskycrying]

Now this is awesome love Lou Reed also want to say i appreciate you showing the love for lead guitarist Sterling Morrison who is not that much far removed from my natural style of playing lead guitar a guy that is just doing his job by doing tasty licks in the background not trying to be noticed as much as just giving the song what it needs no more no less Which is what i love to do, I can't stand guys who ruin a song by overkill on solo work but i am into very tasteful or melodic graceful flowing with the music solo work that is me and in doing that i have carved out a niche for myself with my local musicians. I get asked to play gigs practically every day and do set in with the local musicians and bands from time to time and do some session work as well and honestly I don't think i am that special of a player myself but maybe i don't give my guitar playing enough credit who knows

[@thedeadxtras9927]

All great to hear how you fit in playing with other musicians, I’m sure you’re an incredibly talented player and don’t give yourself enough credit, as I feel the same. I feel that playing melodically fitting into a song is much more effective, dynamically & melodically better adding to the overall mix, playing that style is harder to do well in my opinion, rather than guitarist that whacking an over the top loud O/D pedal on soloing thinking your Hendrix taking the limelight wanting to be some sort of rock god expecting loads of praise and everyone saying what a great guitarist you are!! To me that’s boring, rather than fitting actually thinking properly what you’re playing so you compliment what other musicians in the band are doing and actually listening to the others too, that is real musicianship and more creative overall.

[@kokos2544]

you have a great taste in music thank you for this awsome guitar lesson

[@alexweber7575]

This is amazing!!! Thanks so much for putting this together, this must have taken you so much time and it’s greatly appreciated. I’ll be working on this one for the next couple weeks!

[@Irisplove]

Sterling Morrison's solo on "What Goes On" - now that's a solo!

[@Mai-nt4mm]

Thank you so much! Enjoyed following your tutorial and am blessed knowing to play this on the guitar!

[@shoegazer1298]

Thank you, really helpful, love this song

[@jezloftus623]

Been waiting in anticipation since part one, may have to down tools for the day. Thanks so much. One of my favourites. And yes Sterling Morrison, just perfect. If ever you fancy a go at Oh Sweet Nuthin’…

[@radioffvoicesnoysyvisionna7643]

Jez Loftus that would be nice

[@phillhunt1655]

Jez Loftus I'll add my bid for that too.

[@davidfewtrell3479]

+1 from me for Oh Sweet Nuthin'. This is great though ;)

[@benlogan100]

Thanks so much. Well organized lesson!

[@shanec8224]

Hi Adrian, just stumbled on this gem of a lesson yesterday.. Nice work man. One question not sure if you answered it yet.. Can you shed some light on what you’re using to get that tone? It is spot on!

[@winstonchurchill624]

Hey man really like the lessons you did on the song, do you think you could do some tutorials for the songs heroin and oh sweet nothing also by the velvet underground?

[@khoroshoorange]

I Second that

[@stupot7281]

Thank you..........

[@heathenqueen6468]

o God i love this song

TopCatOadby high praise indeed. Still rockin supertramp thanks to you...

[@macktk0256]

Great - thank you!

[@brohemian]

Haha--i've been trying to play the version on songsterr. Same notes, just different strings. This version makes far more sense.

[@dahliafiend]

Songster never makes any sense. I don’t know who transcribes their stuff but it’s not a guitar player.

[@kaosslab8178]

I just love the look and sound of your vox guitar. Can you tell me where to buy one as I’ve looked and can’t find any. Think they might be discontinued 😢

[@7777srd]

I couldn't agree more about Sterling Morrison.

[@ryanflannery8905]

Wahooo!!!

[@stamron4995]

❤

[@nelsonhik]

Great lesson. Not sure if I have missed this before, but can you give a little background on the gear that you're using?

[@dlm425]

Man that’s tight, more classic punk

[@nickwebster6846]

Hey Adrian. Good lesson. Any chance of you doing ever changing moods by the style council? I cant quite get the chord change around when he sings the line and my ever changing moods yeah. Thanks! Its a great song with jazzy major 7ths.

[@roncarter2188]

Many a spoons were burned up while this was heard. Brilliant playing, gotta know is your vox an old guitar or a newer one?

[@djangle67]

4:29. 11:58. 12:36. 13:36

[@philippeblondiau3740]

How to tune my strings please?

[@radioffvoicesnoysyvisionna7643]

niceee!

[@jperryfan]

Top Shelf all the way! Any chance you could do the Sweet Jane version from Rock n Roll Animal with the Steve Hunter intro?

[@marco_diaz_]

11:55 he plays the parts all together

[@danielschumacher1721]

❤️🎸thank you ... you are so great 🎸 (your amp: this is a fender super champ..? Right?! But not a „X2“ ? It‘s a real tube amp, is it not too loud for your „bedroom“ ?)

[@twobear6155]

good

[@jonkemp4787]

I love this song and this is a great lesson but there's one thing driving me mad: your tuning seems to be a tone lower than mine - e.g. when you play the 7th fret on the G string it sounds like the 5th on mine. I've checked my guitar against a couple of tuning tools, googled to see if Sterling Morisson used a non-standard tuning, scratched my head. Any idea what's going on here?

[@jonkemp4787]

Doh! @2:02 "Remember I'm tuned down a tone for this song: D G C F A D (low to high)". Well that would explain that then! Was convinced you hadn't detuned because you were still talking about the "G string", which is now an F string 🙂

[@MegaRedrocket]

I want that shirt 👌🏽

[@newdawnfades5725]

How would you say I can achieve that clean fuzz velvet tone best? Like their live 1969 album Is it more about amps?

[@genevievejuly9363]

Your tone is near perfect on a non destroyed amp

[@johnhale6016]

Is this tuned down a whole step plus a little more?

[@claasw811]

Kinda new to guitar but this is my favourite song. Cant get the grip on 6:40😭. Any tips?

[@natetheguitarkid]

Slow that part down and listen carefully.

[@missaverywade]

Don’t mind me marking my place 4:30
