Cheers for the dedication James! 😉 All joking aside, as I said in my message, I'm sincerely sorry that my video was so close to yours - I can honestly say it wasn't intentional but in retrospect, it seems probable that I've seen yours at some point in the last few years and subconsciously absorbed it so when it came to quickly putting that video together on the day it went live, I covered some of the same ground! I'm of course more than happy to remove my video if you wish! 🙂 I've been on the receiving end of _inspired_ videos and recordings and certainly wouldn't want to step on any toes!
All the best,
Chris
No worries Chris - leave it up mate.
Alls well now that we've talked.
Keep playing that guitar.
JH
I was thinking it could be some kind of ‘bit’ where you were Standing On The Shoulder of giants, or being ‘inspired’ like Noel. Weve Had literally thousands of people commenting on Noel playing the cigarettes & alcohol riff last week saying “TRex rip off” - as if they are the first person to comment and realise this, in 2023.😂
As I'm sure you both know, it was TPS that finally slotted the last jigsaw piece into place during last week's in-depth Noel gear video :) Kudos to all of you though for keeping toys in prams 😅
More importantly though, in the name of resurrecting Rock ‘n’ Roll, what do you think of Naughty Juice?
Chris’s video was prompted by That Pedal Show. I saw your excellent video in 2020, saw Chris’s excellent video the other day (presumably thanks to the RUclips algorithm), and didn’t think “oh this is an intentional rip-off of James’s video”. Anyone making a video on the DLBIA chord would cover the same ground.
I propose an Oasis-guitar off between the two of you to settle this! That would make a great video and you can split the profits!
"I Hope, I Think, I Know" is so underrated. The other month I heard it in a Five Guys here in the US, which was really weird.
It was a single in the US wasn’t it?
@@connor9568 Apparently it was, though only as a promotional single and not for actual sale. Had no idea.
Five guys always has pretty amazing music.
That makes me want to get "Five Guys" right now
I heard Lyla in a Chickies N Pete’s once which was kinda unexpected. They have a great radio
Magic Pie is undoubtedly one of the best songs he did. The ending section is a delectable medley of musical splendour.
Fade in Out live is outstanding.
Gmex 97 was the best I’d seen., definitely one of my fave oasis live songs.
Isn't that Johnny Depp?
@@glennaldosf it was indeed
Definitely the most underrated oasis song
Johnny is definitely playing a lot on fading out. ☑️
glad to see magic pie getting some recognition..one of my favourite solos/bits of music ever
James, James, James....a video on solos of Noel Gallagher and the thumbnail is a FENDER headstock?!?!?😜
Oh, and Chris Buck is a PHENOMENAL guitarist, by far the best young guitarist coming out of the UK today. When the likes of Slash are raving about you, you know you're on the right track.
Whole new appreciation for Magic Pie! Noel’s style of solos and fills always added an entire dimension to their tracks which has dried up since BHN. He underrates his guitar playing.😢
The Johnny Depp solo in Fade In Out is so underrated, I have to say thats my favorite solo in the album, you described it best with magic pie, just psychedelic madness.
Be here now was an outstanding album.. not a weak song … love your content James
Don’t go away is a classic also. Especially now we now about the Real People background. Great work boys. ✌️👍✌️
I love the way you continually give it to Be Here Now. I think it is a great album. The album that followed Morning Glory was always going to be a step down. But that doesn’t mean that it is a bad album
Gotta love the work you do for us Oasis fans mate! ❤
Having been 14 when Be Here Now came out and my first real exposure to Oasis (and rock music in general) it will always hold a special place for me. I also love SotSoG as I waited what felt like 10 years for it after becoming obsessed with them post the Be Here Now hype. Turns out it was less than a three year gap lol.
Just as Noel is the magpie of indie rock music, Chris Buck becomes the magpie of indie rock youtube videos…a poetic continuation - Noel would be proud. James understands how The Real People felt. If this goes to court, Chris uses Ed Shearan’s ‘chord sequence defence’ that there’s only so many musical analysis video combinations, so they’re bound to duplicate!
It's random that I only got to Chris Buck this week after seeing him play the Purple Rain solo live, but on happening on his 'secret' chord video, I thought: hang on a minute?
I think this would be a great series on the channel. Always love to see guitar content. I'm assuming you've watched Noels interview on That Pedal Show. Its an amazing watch.
Great Album In my opinion and really was a great album to finish the 90s!
Been wathing all ur stuff this last year-brilliant mate-were all still mad for it-keep it up mate-ur a brilliant guitarist-never noticed u were left handed till i watched this video!!!-from the north of scotland thanks
Cheers!
Not actually left handed, just trying I’m out the camera ‘mirrored’
Probably should have done that on a non guitar video lol
Ha! Nicely done, James. That video came up on my feed the other week and I just thought to myself "I'm sure James Hargreaves did an in depth video on this ages ago..."
The way you incorporate the tabs over the videos is great. More please!
Great vid James! It would be awesome to see a breakdown of John Squire’s Champagne solos for Knebworth 96 & 22! They are both impressive yet very unique from each other!
Stand by me , although a simple and pretty short solo is still a great solo and adds so much to the song!
In my opinion Noel has a great sense for melodies and chords. However, I always think he just experimented with cords without knowing what he was doing and just judging by the sound. Which, I think, is a completely appropriate way to do it. As for his soloing it is very much the same. He is definitely not the best guitar player but one of the best song writers. You have loads of really technical guitarists around these days, but not a lot that can write good songs any more. Just my opinion.
I really love this channel! I love Oasis music. 😊
The it’s getting better (man!!) solo is one of my favourites to play
Be Here Now is without question my favourite oasis album - for me it was such an amazing time - cheers James! 😎😎👍👍🎶🎶
That's surprising.
@@キラキラくりくり頭 a lot of oasis fans over the years I’ve seen think it’s their best album - Noel hates it I know - for me it’s a complete absolute masterpiece 😎👍🎶🎶
Shame Noel doesn’t write or perform solos these days. He even said in recent interviews that he ‘outsources’ the solos. I know he pretty much stays in the pentatonic scale, but I’ve always liked his solos. Enjoyed this vid
Love Chris Buck
Be Here Now is my first Oasis album, so it has a special place in my heart. Magic Pie is my favorite song off the album, it just sounds so epic.
Magic Pie solo on the album was drowned out by the backing vocals and therefore very unimpressive but live versions were totally erm magical so I can agree on that one with you
There's an error on I Hope I Think, I Know, James. The second "page" of the tabs should be written as the D string, not the G (or, at least, you're playing the D string). the "17-17-17 16-16-16 14-14-14 12-12-12" are on the D, if anyone is confused a bit.
Thanks for posting these solos, regardless, mate (everyone makes mistakes).
🤓
Ahhhhhh I always mess up one line!!!
Well spotted. Should be on the D.
Whoops
I hope i think i know is so underrated its unreal, an absolutely amazing song.
Nothing to say about the video that was released last week by That Pedal Show with Noel on it? All the Oasis fans were talking about it within 24 hours.
That's where Chris Buck verified the chord and gave That Pedal Show credit for it. I'm surprised that James didn't mention it. Yes, it was a great show. I don't play guitar and was still fascinated by it.
I would love to know what are Chris Buck's favourite solos on this album 😂
Lovely crisp guitar work, great vid.
Thanks 👍👍
Wow, nice work. You did a great job with those drums too!
This is the best RUclips channel in the history of mankind
I always stick this album in n in the dressing room before a gig… proper belting
It’s getting better man is a quality track. ☑️
When I saw his video, I was like... this *was* solved, by Mr. Hargreaves. It's just further confirmed with Noel's gear video. Good job James.
I love 'Magic Pie' too. I can't understand why it attracts so much hate. It is a psychedelic masterpiece. Maybe it will get its due eventually. Cheers.
Love these kinds of videos James. Thank you for posting. Any chance you would take a stab at transcribing some of his solos from specific live performances? The extended ending to Champagne Supernova comes to mind from any of his gigs as well as the Fade/In Out performance from the GMEX gig. Thanks again....cheers!
You’re so awesome man
Brilliant video and great choices 👍
Magic Pie Fantastic track. It was when they met Ian Brown at the studio of an evening 🥴💨
I don't care what anybody says, Magic Pie is brilliant and the live version at the Hammerstein Ballroom is massive. Someone else mentioned already but Fade In-Out live is also pretty unique because Noel never played anything quite like that intro solo ever again.
magic pie live solo is great too..Great video as usual..thanx
my personal fave is the outro solo Noel plays on It's gettin better man live at air studios london
Georgiarose16 showed us true Oasis fans the DLBIA chord many many years ago before any of the discussion about what it is ever came around
I've used his videos to learn several Oasis songs.
THE MAGIC PIE SOLO IS ABSOLUTELY GREAT! I'm glad that i'm not the only one thinking that.
To me that song it's the best part of Be Here Now!
Yeah the lyrics are pretty dumb, but it's a great song in general , with an epic sound and tone.
I love Be Here Now, and Magic Pie is a great song
Love Magic Pie , takes me back to 97 more than any other of the album
Cheers James. Did you see Noel play the secret chord on That Pedal Show interview recently... their eyes lit up when he played that chord!
Oh come on. He literally played it on That Pedal Show. I thought of you when he did it lol
It’s gettin better (man)!! - love this track so much!
Awesome video with your outstanding talent as a guitarist. As much as Be Here Now is a loud album in itself, I think there were some of the last great moments when Noel was actually doing lead in the most effective and rhythmic ways when the band were progressing. Btw, is it me or the video looks reversed from your room to your guitar playing shots? Nevertheless it's brilliant to see another great guitar video on your channel.
James, Your videos NEVER disappoint. Thank you! Your fan from Boston, USA - New England!
PS: Got tix for Noel in Boston 15 July. Saw Liam at Greek Theatre in 2018, where Noel just played, my West Coast holiday wrapped around Liam's show--cuz he wasn't coming East.
Can't agree more! And magic pie's solo is my favourite too!
"He's also a cheeky bastard"
Man I died 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Fade in out opening from GMEX ‘97
Unbelievable how simialar noels solos are-bonus for the tab
Great video as usual! Wondering if you could do a video on the Lock All The Doors 1992 demo working out the lead guitar since there are no tabs online 🎸
Thanks for the hard work! Brilliant!!
Magic pie is obviusly one of the greatest song of Oasis, I agree !!
Great video. I wish I could read guitar tabs for solo's. After 20 plus years, i still can't really play a solo by looking at the tab only. All those numbers hurt my brain. It's a shame they never played I Hope I Think I Know live, it's such a good song. Maybe Liam will play it live someday. I love Magic Pie, the live version is really good.
Great work!!!
James regarding your Council Skies video have you considered that this record may have parallels to Blood on the Tracks by Bob Dylan? I've noticed it starts kind of the same way, the opening songs are similar in structure and Blood on the Tracks is more or less a seperation album so that might be another parallel
Yeah we all spotted that “solved” video James - what a great idea.
I couldn't agree more about My magic pie... What the heck Noel stopped performing it live? 😢 The few over youtube are just 🔝. I don't know how to explain myself, would say that the whole thing it's more than a song.. Anyway thanks for another video gem James!
PD: They could stop Liar and Noel Gallagher talking overthere and reedit this massive album propper recorded. Even they hasn't to see each other to make us happy 🤔😂
I always thought the live outro when they did all around the world was amazing!!
James you're right about the Zeppelin influence on My Big Mouth. Sort of like The song remains the same phrases.
Fantastic Economy of Movement !!! Great Analysis...Cheers AAA
It's Gettin Better Man
I hope I think I know is my favorite Oasis song ever, along with Slide Away 🤗💞😘
My favourite album
I always loved magic pie
I hope I think I know....what a tune, also it's getting better now!! 100% bangers!
Oh God, I've hated Magic Pie since the first time I heard it!
Had no idea there was dueling guitar solos in it. Might have to go back and give it a listen.
Great stuff James! ❤ And i Love magic pie
Don’t Go Away !!!
Love magic pie. So underrated
Great vid, James. I think u def chose the best 5 guitar solos - and yes MP is an awesome song. If u read this, may I just ask your opinion on the song ' Be Here Now'? I personally would love to have seen it released as a single, I think it is one of the more 'radio friendly' songs off that album. Actually, I wish he had done a reworked version like he did for the song DYKWIM.
Even some comments on his vid were saying ' James Hargreaves already did this years ago '
good good job!
For me, solo on DYWIM finally sounds like should be in live performance of Finsbury Park. That's the sound.
Did you see Noel fail the solo for DLBINA in america. He said he would butcher it in the pedal show interview too. I'm wondering if Gem will start playing it after that gig
ruclips.net/video/tnyRGcd3G8c/видео.html
No - but I just did after your message and tweeted it!
Laughed my arse off!
Thanks for that hahaha
Every solo sounds exactly the same and I love Oasis.
Not true. Don't look back in anger is nothing like DYKWIM. Live forever is nothing like MBM. Gas panic is nothing like TIOBI. If by similar you mean they mostly use the pentatonic then obviously that's pretty inarguable.
GUITAR SOLO TABS:
5.- My Big Mouth 3:49
4.- I Hope, I Think, I Know 4:53
3.- D'You Know What I Mean? 6:00
2.- It's Gettin' Better (Man!!) 7:14
1.- Magic Pie 9:20
Enjoy guys. ❤
Great video James and you do these solos great justice! Im ambivalent to Magic Pie.... its nowhere near as good as acquiesce, live forever, some.might say etc but nowhere near as bad as songs like I can see a liar, the nature of reality and little james.
1) Your playing is great. 2) Your recordings are great. 3) What a shame BHN wasn’t produced with the clarity of WTSMG because both the songs and Noel’s guitar work would get the chance to shiiiiiiine as they should.
Morning Glory not really an example for a clear sounding album tho
An Oasis album recorded like Nirvana's Nevermind would have been mega.
Be interested to see your take on the new version of Live Forever solo played by Gem on the current Flying Birds tour.
Magic Pie is brilliant. The only Oasis songs that I really think are bad are "Little James" and the studio version of "Fade-In-Out." I even love "(Probably) All In The Mind," which a lot of people seem to think is Liam's worst ever vocal (I love the harmonies with Noel on it, and the "Rain" bassline).
Hi James, seeing as though you're a Stone Roses and John Squire fan, is there any chance you could create a tab for I Wanna Be Adored? I can't find a single tutorial on RUclips where the guitar is correctly transcribed. Your Slide Away video was perfect, so I'd love to see a similar video for this Stone Roses song.
Play one of Noel’s solos and you’ve played ‘em all lol. Oasis will always be my favourite band and Noel the reason why I write songs, but we need to face facts 😅
Interesting video, where did you hear about the led zeppelin influence? I think it sounds a bit like oasis being influenced by The Stone Roses’ Second Coming
Can you play the solos from Go Let It Out? Specially that ones that Gem plays in live performances like in Wembley 2000
Great video, you missed a trick by excluding Fade In-Out though 👍
thank noel for the 2016 rethink of d’you know what i mean
Magic Pie is a fantastic song.
In my official song book from the 90s - Don't look back in anger 'secret' chord is an A flat dim chord
❤❤❤
