Perfect Day - Lou Reed - Guitar lesson by Joe Murphy

[@albertinacamus]

I love this song. I wish I could learn it . Thanks for your lesson

[@JoeMurphysGuitarlessons]

You can certainly learn it, it’s just practice. Stick with it you will get there

[@asdf9890]

Great rendition, I was just looking for a lesson, but man that touched me.

[@JoeMurphysGuitarlessons]

Thanks man ✌️

[@kerryfromaj9032]

That’s a nice lesson Joe. I started learning guitar late at 58 and I am just about 64 now and getting better at my guitar endeavours. Recently got an easier to play acoustic Takamine and learning some acoustic flat picking and finger style. Thanks Joe.

[@JoeMurphysGuitarlessons]

Brilliant, Joe. Not heard this Lou Reid track for years and I like the new format. Thanks Joe.

[@JoeMurphysGuitarlessons]

Thanks for taking the time to comment Richard. Glad you enjoyed the video

[@Buceadorable]

Excellent lesson. Makes me want to go play this in the park with a bottle of sangria. And to buy a classical guitar. Will have to make do with my acoustic though.

[@theayatollahofrockandrollah]

I like all your lessons. I like to play along with you, you have such a nice voice. You remind me of a friend I had when I was a Taxi driver. He looked a little bit like a hard guy, but was actually a very soft spoken and intelligent individual. I get the same vibe from you. Thanks for the music and greetings from Holland.

[@JoeMurphysGuitarlessons]

Thanks for taking the time, I really appreciate it. I sometimes see some of my lessons back and think how stern and strict I appear, I guess that happens sometimes when I am trying to get things across., but really I am a soft spoken intelligent individual. Thanks for posting 😉

[@theayatollahofrockandrollah]

[@felipe-jz9zm]

Merci Joe! i fisrt thought, here's a simple version to play the guitar while singing.. but then came the good details souding great!

[@birddogduke1251]

Holy balls. This is like a perfect rendition. Like it sounds scary accurate anyway.

[@realjumper]

Really nice...one of my favourite songs that I've never tackled.....but I will now! Thank you.

[@VICVideopIC]

Very good tutorial, great feel! I am more of an electric guitar guy, but your acoustic version is great. Respect!

[@pricedownproductions9851]

very very nice version, easy and accessible!

[@kingerinoblyat1938]

Very nice voice and singing! ❤

[@kingerinoblyat1938]

*could play the chords but helped me so much with the strumming :) thanks!

[@rosariogastaldo4759]

AMAZING

[@Mario-vt2ss]

Nice job! Thank you.

[@michaelberg5594]

It's such a great cover!! Right in the feels. Thank you so much. Im new and really struggling with this song but I love it and want to learn it. I know why it's hard for me, it is because the rhythm is not 4/4 but rather 3/4 or maybe 6/8 so the strumming is so difficult.

[@19sept76]

[@JoeMurphysGuitarlessons]

Thank you

[@arianaxlquispeacevedo256]

Thanks Joe. It's astonishing how similar the arpegio guitar sound to the original version. Great lesson and great cover. ;)

[@JoeMurphysGuitarlessons]

Yeah I remember the piano part and had it in my head and then played it on the guitar and I thought it sounded really nice and I hadn’t had it done before glad you enjoyed the video

[@arianaxlquispeacevedo256]

@@JoeMurphysGuitarlessons Yeah It's kind of funny, because i jumped straight to the cover and didn't notice the arpegio lesson so, I try by my own to play the piano part but thank god I watch your video again man, such a great explanation and arpegio technique.

Hey Joe, do you have a longer lesson&tabs in your website?

[@雲隠雲黒齊]

素晴らしい❗

[@gsf67]

Thanks for that, and including the nuances and melody, I have wanted to learn this song for a long time. BTW, is that a scouse accent I hear?

[@JoeMurphysGuitarlessons]

Yep it is a scouse accent, or what’s left of it. Glad you enjoyed the lesson 👍

[@leonardoalvesvaro7883]

Michael Stipe playing Lou Reed

[@mahshidh.h]

Why do I feel that different arpeggios are used in the song and not just one arpeggio? If it really is, it will be hard for me to learn this song. I didn't understand what happened ☹💔

[@TJ-mm8fx]

Please post some more blues standards.

[@craigesson6944]

I believe the weather in the uk is exceptional right now but some sleeves would be easier on the eyes..

[@unchaleekate6746]

Thailand beyond any bad press only seen around the world is a fab place to be.. still very cheap and full of wonderful people .. almost 14 years here now ! you would easily play your way around this land..especially up north Chiang mai... Carry on plucking.

[@JoeMurphysGuitarlessons]

I would love to do a bit of playing out in Chiang Mai, but its knowing the right people to get it arranged..

[@unchaleekate6746]

Will get me thinking cap on, lived there 2 years then 1 year Bangers and the rest here farmer country Surin province.. lots of vlogs out there but mostly irritating look at ME hand waving stuff.. sin city pattaya lots of western bar owners would defo give you slots..i am a member of pattaya addicts.com.. some funny and very informative stuff on there and tons of practical info.

nice job bloke.

[@sohmthezombie5243]

Strumming pattern?

[@perro0076]

Read the lyrics and figure out what TO YOU, emotionally speaking, its mood is. Ignore what other people have done. How does it make you feel? TO YOU, is it a happy, angry or a miserable song? From there, find a strumming pattern you feel matches the mood of the song. There's no right or wrong. It is a very personal thing.

[@AllNamesAreTakenO]

Great video - I wrote out the chords as described, thought it might help someone else: Perfect Day Capo on 1st fret Intro E Am E Am Verse Am D G C F Dm E Am D G C F Dm E Chorus A D C#m D A E F#m E D F#m E D Instrumental F#m E D F#m E D F#m E D Ending C#m G D A C#m G D A C#m G D A C#m G D
