Lou Reed 'Perfect Day': Guitar Arrangement & Lesson

I've been obsessed with this song ever since the overdose scene in "Trainspotting." It's such a great juxtaposition of carefree lyric and sinister harmony.

I'm playing with my:
1966 Fender Mustang
Silvertone 1484 Amp

Thanks for watching!

This channel really hones in on a previously underserved audience. It assumes you have your basics covered, have a little bit of taste, but aren't a bonkers jazz encyclopedia. Hits me right where I'm at. Long live the unpointy guitars.

Gotta be one of the nicest tones on youtube

[Ryan_Perrin]

sometimes I watch your videos while I procrastinate and I drop everything and play guitar. it's a bittersweet joy, thank you for the inspiration

2 seconds in and you can tell it’s gonna be great.

Eric, I keep coming back to this one. Firstly, the song is a perfect gem. But your arrangement is simply sublime.

[Rick_Cleland]

I literally got actually chills / goosebumps listening to you playing that.

When you got to the "You're gonna reap just what you sow" part, I got tears in my eyes. I didn't even cry when my father died last year. To say that you're talented is a frivolous understatement. Good luck to you, man.

[alantorres]

you gave this a nice warm western feel

[flyingnimbus]

fills can be so important,
didn't realized until this video

One day I'll get to where my playing is good enough to really profit from your lessons. For now you are one of the players that keep me inspired.

This tune engenders an interbreed of human emotion perambulating from the highest of the highs to the lowest of the lows resulting in a truly delightful eclipse of the mind.

1 Thumb down!? a dislike??
A guitarist giving a free how to lesson deserves a like👍

[kurtisformosaguitar]

Such a powerful rendition. I've had lots of looping fun during the solo section especially

[cskueny]

Part of its greatness is that it is not only a juxtaposition of "carefree lyric and sinister harmony, " but also of carefree harmony and sinister lyric. Anyway, great job again.

The tone on the mustang is unbelievably crisp. Was perfect for this song. Alwaya enjoy your videos. Have a perfect day.

[jacksonregan]

The playing in the beginning is so beautiful

[jefferylord]

haug you are the man! you give lessons on the eclectic, the esoteric, and all the other adjectives that apply to whats off the beaten path. 998 likes and 2 this is a troll world, but your stuff is just too good. keep grinding!

[wilbertcook]

Such a peaceful and beautiful song. Eric your playing is always amazing and spot on. Then when you explain in layman terms how you do it really helps out a lot. Thanks so much for all your posting! Peace my brother ✌🏻

[davidkohn]

For me your lessons just get better and better. I'm away for a week without a guitar at the moment, but this will be the first thing I play on Monday. Thanks again for all the work you put in.

You're a joy to watch / listen to. Beautiful
