You have to wonder how he's got the backing track of drums. bass and vocals (which aren't the final mix) without the guitar part, and he can play it more or less exactly to the record. Check out his 'Love Spreads' also. If it IS Mr Squire, thanks for the memories!
What he's playing is not particularly difficult for an experienced guitar player, but he plays with certain unique nuances that would be difficult to replicate if you weren't John Squire. So It's John. Thanks for the lesson John 😄🎶🎸
It's not just the playing dude.... he also wrote it and many many others. What you do? Other than jam your thumb up ya ass and mash your keyboard? Put that copy of Total Guitar down bro and shut the front door
@gerrad1973 @gerrad1973 Right, but around here, squire is not well known not even among musicians or amateur guitarist. And if you ever find someone that knows the roses, it would we just for a few hits from their 1st album.
i think this guy shows just how great the tracks on the second comming album really are... a lot of people slate the album but i think its technically excellent! maybe let down by the mixing in the studio.
i applaud you. I remember being posessed by the work of squire and locking myself away with the roses guitar books. Then a few years down the line I heard 'Crimson Tonight' and it blew my head off. I never got round to learning the live stuff as my crimson tonight cd (luckily a copy) was lent to someone (never seen it since). I've now got a copy again (an original!!) and intend on learning it! Your video will certainly help and is of course brilliantly played.
this is as good as a cover can be , fuckiin spot on mate. just started learning 3 weeks ago prop get another 3 years at least before i get any where near this level.
Basically what everyone else just said! You've just inspired me to study more Squire... I might start at something a lil less epic though - so many licks!
Doesn't matter how many times I listen to the guitar on this track 5:10-5:50 gives me shivers every single time.
Word
good job. Best Stone Roses song by a mile!
this is still my fav youtube video of them ALL
i reckon this is actually john squire just keeping form knowing the reunion would happen!!!
A lot of the covers on youtube are technically good, but you nail that & the soul flawlessly. Really, really impressed!
Think this must be John Squire himself...amazing
If you're not in a Roses cover band....then you bloody well should be....and touring...extensively. I'd pay to see this live.
Here in 2022! I still watch this video from time to time - so fuckin' good...
lol same, been coming back for years.
John Squire is such an underrated guitarist!
Great work dude, covering the stone roses feels so great.
Cheers from Argentina.
yeahh
best roses song, amazing guitar line and great cover

Its just a live version mate
this never gets old
Top notch cover!
@nahuel89p Underrated? in my book he is the best guitarist of his generation......thats about right!
I am stunned! I love this tune, what a way to start an album. Fantastic playing, you really have the feel on this. well done.
Dude, you. Are. AWESOME! You did an excellent job on what is my favourite Roses song!
Awesome, simply incredible.
Just watched this again, And it still blew me away absolutely brilliant.

So It's John.
Thanks for the lesson John 😄🎶🎸
4:40 is what confirmed it for me anyways
Also nobody else plays it the way he does at 5:10

Flawless tone and effect use.

live it was let down a bit by Ians voice, and their lack of cohesion at the time. but really a master piece
