I agree! Back in 1975-76 we used to crank it to get psyched before a lacrosse game! Another fantastic intro is the live Celluloid Heroes by the Kinks. Rock on!
I've been listening to a sizeable portion of his albums lately. Too bad he can't sing worth shit. He talks through most of his work, and what little he does sing is so off key/pitch, it's shocking. Lots of the songs and the music are great, just not his "singing".
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH It’s so odd, because he started as a doo wop singer, and had a modest hit. On some Velvet songs he sings very well, but as he went through the 70’s it became less singing. He sings well on some of Transformer, it just depends on one’s taste. I do agree, especially of his post Velvet work, that most doesn’t feature good singing, if any. He’s a real love or hate type of artist. Folks usually like covers of their songs. Jane’s Addiction, doing Rock n Roll, Cowboy Junkies, doing Sweet Jane, Bowie, doing Waiting for the Man and White Light, White Heat, and Perfect Day was covered by quite a few after Trainspotting put it back out into the world in the 90’s.
The Velvet's are one of my all time favourite bands, so I appreciate this lesson! As for recommendations, I've been trying to learn What Goes On by ear recently, so I'd love a lesson for that so that I can see if I've gotten it right. I'd also love lessons for I'm Waiting For The Man and Jesus, two of my favourites.
I always thought Justin should cover some VU stuff on his channel. They are great for beginners and a lot of fun to play. Thanks, Justin! Hope to see more of VU!
I’m a 60s and 70s fan as I’m 69 you hit my all time favorite song. The intro covers the whole side of the album. Mott the Hoople did an awesome cover of Sweet Jane.
The Mott The Hoople version was my introduction to the song so it's still my favourite. That said, I love the version on Rock and Roll Animal with its brilliant intro.
Basic strumming patter with chord if you need to see it. Verse D A G d u u u 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + G Bm A D d u u u 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + Chorus D d u u d 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + G A d u u d 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + Love this song. Thanks you Justin.

It is hard to sing over that groove . This was so good !! Note - I have to try and make a video , for a special birthday surprise, to my friends daughter Jane . I’m going to just do the “ Sweet Jane …… Happy Birthday… Sweet Jane “…. Something simple . PS - I live in The US and my friend and his daughter live in Australia. Hope they like 🙏🙏🙏
I did post the Happy Birthday video for my Australian friend . She absolutely loved it !!!!! ( Happy Birthday Rambo Style ). If you get a chance , head on over to my channel and check it out . Thanks 🙏
Haha, there’s a vid of him on David Letterman where he plays that Bm at the second fret during the intro, and ignores it for most of the rest of the song.
Bm at fret 2 and Bm at fret 7 are not so different ... a little bit of subtle difference in the timbre and in the movement required between chords of course. Cheers 😊 | Richard_close2u | JustinGuitar Official Guide & Approved Teacher
Stephanie Says, I'll Be Your Mirror, Pale Blue Eyes, I'm Set free, Femme Fatale, All Tomorrows Parties, Sunday Morning lessons would all be appreciated!
Good job on the song; I really liked your singing. Some velvet underground song recommendations: I’m Waiting For The Man, White Light/White Heat, Run Run Run, After Hours, Some Kinda Love, There She Goes Again, Sister Ray.
Thanks for the tips on upstrokes & downstrokes. Other VU songs? I was going to suggest a fingerpicking version of Sunday Morning with the guitar replacing the celesta but After Hours is probably a better song for a lesson.
Hey Justin. Theres a song called "I just dont think i'll ever get over your" sung by Colin Hay. The best version is live from the "eTown" channel. U can break it down to a really simple open chord song, but the way he plays it is has so many cool things in it. It really is a great song and i really, really hope you will take a listen and hope to do a tutorial on it. Because i would love to play it like the original.
Hi Justin, thanks for this tutorial for which I voted on your request board. Just 2 little comments (may be they have already been submitted, I don't use or read comments too much usually) I was a little disapointed by two things: no mention of the cowboy junkies version that is as famous and interesting as the original is, and that integrates a cool bridge and a focus on the epic version of the rock n roll animal live would have been great too (and the solo, not talking of the intro). As the tune is not so complex when you master your bar chords, those two add-on of very famous versions (probably as known or more than the original) would have been welcome and if you feel like making a version 2 of your tutorial it would be very appreciated. Thanks for all your work, do know that I have started with you method and that I recommend it to every beginner guitarist.
I don't know how else to say it, Jay, but you ROCK with ALL CAPS, buddy! - Any chance you're a DEAD MILKMEN fan, too? I'm sure you've done some Kinks, too, but some super acoustic punk, here, man... BILLY BRAGGish, the way you pulled it off, too- Compliments on the singing!
@@101oakridge for better or worse tattooed on my brain forever, at the least... Catch their Saturday morning podcast on RU-vid-better than a G-Force marathon over captain crunch, and a great after-party for KYG Friday.

You left out the section Reed loved most about the song. Listen to the full song from the Loaded album or the Live 69 slow version. Both have a big change up. When he sings “Heavenly, wine and roses, seem to whisper to her, when he smiles…”
According to Lou Reed, the correct way to play the verse riff is with an F# major, not a Bm. I like the way that sounds, and I find it a bit easier to play than with the Bm.
Memories Justin! Was hooked on Acid and all my friends on Heroin at the time, few left alive. I found Jesus Christ and an amazing woman as my wife, cleaned up. Still here and sharing Jesus Gospel!
