How to Play Perfect Strangers by Deep Purple

/ @nickfoleyuk Hey How are you?
today is a bit of a monster, its all about Perfect Strangers by Deep Purple. I've seen so many people play this and many get it right. Its a tricky little fella in places with the 4th and 5th swapping over but I have a stab at it and what stab there is you are fully welcome to my friend.
I also include some of the embellishments I have seen and heard live, the bits that you know but don't know why you know.
I hope you enjoy and remember if you are currently in the present you can catch me demonstrating all the Hammond and Leslie gear in current production at the Hammond UK event on the 4th May in Milton Keynes.
Until then er then...
Nick x

God I love this Hammond part from the great man. I especially loved how he (with Richie) inverted his power chords with the fifth on the bottom. It sounds so much gnarlier. The roar of that C3 totally made DP's sound.

[@nickfoleyuk]

Exactly that mate

[@user-gd7qb2cb9m]

Wow! You really tuned in a great Hammond sound on this one! Thank you for the walk through!

[@nickfoleyuk]

Cheers

[@user-mc8so6ei2e]

Thank you for the great tutorial and amazing video. I love your version of this song and like the fact you had mentioned and combined parts of live performances with original record. This song and specifically John’s parts made a huge impression on me at the time, which made me want to pursue music as a hobby at least. This video was very enjoyable to watch, so I definitely will be coming back to it again!

Nice job Nick. As a Huge Jon fan and a fellow Hammond player, it’s great to see others play tribute to not only a great band, but also an incredible player and human being. Thanks

[@dalebeaver5073]

Great lesson and great sounding setup! Thanks for doing this, Nick. Love it!

[@CK-wt8we]

Absolutely great Hammond sound!

[@nickfoleyuk]

thank you mate

[@mosonbelmont2207]

You saved my life, I have a rehearsal with my band later today and forgot to learn this song earlier in the week 😆

[@nickfoleyuk]

My pleasure. If you want to buy me a coffee there’s always my Patreon 😀

[@CrackerboxPalace777]

Oooh looking forward to this one.
I’m sure many, including myself, are playing the wrong inversions on this classic piece

[@DrawbarPete]

Excellent tutorial and the sound......... just awesome !!

[@nickfoleyuk]

Thanks mate! I have another video on how I get that sound.

[@DrawbarPete]

@@nickfoleyuk Saw that one too. Big thanx and take care:)

[@kevinhartnell2075]

Thank you, Nick! Excellent tutorial, sound, and playing!

[@nickfoleyuk]

Glad you liked it!

[@jimburdin]

awesome dude... i found most of this but you really helped me fine tune it... thank you so much... my buds are gonna freak at band practice...lol

[@Ashfaq1999]

Great video nick. First time I heard this amazing sound was on the world in action theme. But this is totally mind blowing.

[@nickfoleyuk]

Its a lovely tone isnt it?

[@Ashfaq1999]

@@nickfoleyukDefinitely 💯

[@andrzejjaniak6849]

You got the sound spot on. Great job.

[@nickfoleyuk]

Thanks

[@Spektralfarben-Music]

Great tutorial, thanks a lot! And what an awesome sound, I love it! One question: Is the distortion produced only by the organ + tube Leslie or are you using further "tools"? Thanks!

[@nickfoleyuk]

Further tools Alf. I have a video already on the overdrive unit and I’ll work up a video soon about the whole signal chain for you.

[@Spektralfarben-Music]

@@nickfoleyuk Thanks a lot, Nick! Looking forward to it.

[@Lukinha-es3oy]

you should make a video teaching how to play Lazy from Deep Purple!

[@geoffemett]

100%…..I’ve never been able to work it out 😢🎶🎶🎶

[@nickfoleyuk]

[@user-rh6rc5jw8q]

An amazing class, Nick! Thank you!

[@jyketsy65]

Very Good Sounds

[@nickfoleyuk]

Thanks

[@haluk2336]

Thanks very much. Great tutorial. Adding chords is good

[@amandahambidge7994]

Just noticed on the video, when I put the drawbars back the other week I managed to get the felt pushed back and you can see the screws on the top of the drawbar unit, must sort that next time I see you.

[@nickfoleyuk]

Cheers

[@B3-R]

Excellent great, sound some scales around Arabic-Turkey, but that's was somehow part of John style,not forgetting the classic though,humble opinion,may not be right.,thank you for your tutorial.❤

[@eddydizon7174]

Nick, the overdrive is the organ grinder?
