Lou Reed - Ride into the sun (Accurate guitar cover)

Remember that you're just another person...
The schmaltzier but more technically complex 1972 non-Velvet Underground version. Tried to navigate through the song playing Steve Howe's guitar parts. My guitar is played loudly in right channel throughout

[@graham3134]

this is insane, great job! I've always loved this song and you absolutely killed it

[@ELWaller0388]

Thanks a lot, man!

[@ClarkTheShark]

Fiddly fantastic!

[@andy100hp]

Listen man, you are a special guitarist, you have a unique touch and feeling. Don't stop, be kind and teach others if you get the opportunity. It takes one to know one and I can see it here. Cheers

Brilliant and difficult to the extreme,totally awesome from a true fan of Lou Reed.Buenos Aires Argentina

[@dominikkurowski3145]

bro, thank you for that. Please make more obscure covers like this, I LOVE THIS VERSION!! AMAZING playing, keep rocking on the free world

[@ELWaller0388]

There'll be more obscure covers coming up definitely. I've got a big list that I'm working through when I get the spare time

[@priteshchauhan1851]

So good 🙂‍↔️

Excellent job!

Simply epic cover/playthrough. So impressed with your playing here. I confess its not a favourite of mine, the track or the album which is very patchy & low key solo debut album. I don't think Reeds heart was in it, hence the recycling of VU material. I don't really like Transformer either and I think I recall Mick Ronson (?) saying Reed would not sing on the Transformer tracks until the studio was empty. Transformers success is testament to the commitment and creativity of Bowie and Ronno. Berlin on the other hand is a masterpiece. And by all accounts that had a very difficult conception and release. I really like the diversity of artists and choice of material you've posted. There are tracks I would never normally listen to but your covers have given me more appreciation of them. And I love your Tele and GS!

[@ELWaller0388]

Thanks man! Its very hit and miss, that first album. Its all technique and not much feeling. I can't believe how weak the song Berlin is on that album compared to the one at Bataclan with John Cale. I prefer his darker albums and yeah, the album Berlin is a masterpiece. I used to prefer the VU version of this song here, its more pure but there are loads of versions of that on here and its not that hard to play so I thought I'd challenge myself. Steve Howe is an amazing guitarist. Thanks for watching some of my other videos, I had a list I was working thru but life/work got in the way. I might do a couple of My Bloody Valentine songs next but played live in my van without the song in the background. Its weird what people take to on YT, this one has done fairly well by the standards of my recent videos but some of them don't even show up in the listings properly.

Awsome!

[@vanfalcons]

That is really good, man!

[@gerrycoyle9151]

I was going to start taking lessons but I don't think I'll bother now.🤔

[@ELWaller0388]

Haha, you should you might surprise yourself

[@alantorres6949]

god this kicks so much ass. did you learn this by ear?

[@ELWaller0388]

Thanks man! Yeah, I picked the more prominent guitar part and just set about learning the chord voicing/phrasing bit by bit

[@je7647]

smooth, one of my favs nice shirt also, great show

[@ELWaller0388]

Cheers, and yes, thanks for noticing. I went to Portmeirion this summer so I though it would be rude not to get the T-shirt

[@stevenneff2301]

fantastic cover holy shit

[@jonwarhol360]

Dude that was fantastic! I always liked the version of Berlin from this album as well. Be seeing you!

[@ELWaller0388]

Yeah, it's a hit and miss album. Its not as pure as the Velvet Underground or as cool as Transformer but there's some nice stuff. Steve Howe and Rick Wakeman are brilliant musicians even if they don't completely fit with Lou Reed's style. I love the version of Ocean from this album as well

[@henry8302]

you've got great taste

[@ELWaller0388]

Thanks a lot! If I've covered it, it means I really like it

[@tinchocabj1053]

A lesson how to play the solo it s possible?

[@raimo7310]

Amazing cover, you're such a great guitarist

[@ELWaller0388]

Thanks a lot!
