Charles Clark I’m firmly in the Ian Brown camp when they fall out i think he spent 20 years cutting off his nose to spite his face I don’t have to like him personally to appreciate his talent. Just a shame more albums were never made
I’m so glad you did this one. Squire is the reason I started to play the guitar. He used a shell pink original 1960 strat on most of the self titled album.
read it wrong, was about the get the 98s crew and border the plane from sthlm.. Eaaassy now , love yo all .. Roses , flowered up and ES that was the life back then
Squire recorded the entire first album on a 60's strat into a hotrodded twin reverbs along with a mesa boogie amp. Pedals he used were a vintage tubescreamer, fuzz face, ibanez chorus, and an alesis midiverb. in 1990, he switched over to a modified fender jaguar with humbuckers, hence the difference sound on the one love single. He has remained loyal to mesa boogie amplifiers.
Last summer at my local guitar store I picked up a light bubblegum pink Squier Strat with a Humbucker on the bridge where the slanted pickup would have been. Looked so unique I just had to buy it. It plays beautifully. My 19 year old son told me to never get rid of it.
Watched this video today to see how to get JS's sound and was extremely pleased to see you picked a squier CV (same model and colour) that I'm due to buy used on Saturday!!
If you ever decide to do a BY busting the bank video, maybe try some stuff from Second Coming. There's some amazing guitar all over that record, even if it wasn't the album that people wanted at the time.
Squire went on a diet of Led Zeppelin and came up with some monster riffs on that album but still had its earlier sound moments. The reverse guitar work on Begging You was amazing. Some underrated stuff on that album
Oh yeah guys....ah thank you so so much for doing this guy's I know I've posted a few times and I've seen quite alot of other people asking to do Stone Roses.....really Appreciate this.....your the best....I'm a happy contented man now.....I'm singing along as you play....your enjoying it too you both smiled at each other after that great sounding Waterfall intro....
I'm sold. That fender affinity for £359 is sounding amazing and those two pedals are great. I'm going to get that set up. Affordable and can have a good time playing with it all. I wish I'd never sold my old peavy amp and my vintage les paul junior style guitar. I miss playing
this just goes to show how mediocre “traditional rock guitarists” struggle with playing lots of indie/alternative music. With guitarists like john squire, johnny marr, graham coxon, etc they strip away alot of the heavy fuzz and overdrive and play using feel, creativity, restraint, and ingenuity. they have complete intuitive knowledge of tones. they make it sound simple and easy until you try and play it just like them and realize how difficult it really is.
Kenneth Moutet Graham Coxon always used distortion and had a pedal board the size of a small house. Traditional rock guitarists like Hank Marvin, Link Wray, Chuck Berry etc always played with a stripped back style. If you’re talking about shredders I agree with you, but traditional rock guitarists, they were way more inventive than their indie counterparts
With John Squire in particular I find that he's generally a really underappreciated talent and guitarist because he could write songs like Waterfall or She Bangs the Drums which is much more indie focused and softer but then do songs like Breaking into Heaven or Love Spreads which was much more of a traditional rock sound. I feel the Stone Roses fan base are generally an indie fan base who aren't fans of traditional harder rock which is why the second album is passed off as shit.
@@blurdynamic9118 I personally prefer the second coming, I came from a metal background into indie and found John squires guitar work truly mind-blowing. Finding his guitar work more difficult to learn that some "shredders" I'd been into.
To really get the stone roses vibe you should have taken the budget, blasted it on some class A gear then had to scrimp on some secondhand (possibly stolen) equipment. Also defo getting closer to King Crimson sound like... midi synth belew/fripp bonanza awaits 👓👘🎩👔
Saw the Stone Roses in Leeds a few years ago and he was still a Mesa Boogie Lonestar man. Seemed to favour a black les paul custom and a strat with a rosewood fretboard for the most of the show. Have seen him in a video use a tele into the Lonestar in a rehearel for the Heaton Park gig though. Sound bang on the money with " she bangs the drums "
He really went more into Page and Hendrix territory on Second Coming - which is when the LP's really started showing up, which he kept using with The Seahorses etc. He also did some sessions with Mark Headey on drums and Simon Jones of Verve on bass - check it out - th-cam.com/video/_O6tjhbCqaI/w-d-xo.html
Would love to see your take on sounding like 80s Glam Metal in general, by or without busting the bank! The Glam Metal movement is definitely different with acts like Ratt and Dokken! Great video here as always!
Waited years for this! Nice one! By busting now. Just to nail 'i wanna be adored' and 'driving South' massively different sound. Get your heads in the books 😉😎
OUTSTANDING! I have waited 3 years for this. The sounded great guys, as always. However they were famous for using Mesa Boogie amps but that Fender sounded great.
Gretsh Country Gentleman was used on the first album , if I remember from a book about the band I read years ago....I have the first Stone Roses Album which I purchased on its release it still has the Brit Award Nominee 1990 sticker in the right hand corner.....
these squiers are underrated. They have varying quality, I have two, one stays in tune for like a month and sounds great and the other isnt quite as good but it is still competent and would be good for beginners
Feel like a Telecaster would have been the obvious choice here, but the result sounded great! That Squier Classic Vibe sure sounds nice and beefy. You missed one big trick, though: The glorious Epiphone Jack Casady Bass! Mani has been using that for ages now, and it's imo the best value for money bass on the market. Seriously, it's just amazing.
Grew up on both,- many live shows; simple , really. A bunch of busted up vintage Fender offsets, and a mix of equally battered Marshalls and Princeton"s/ HR Deluxe's .Mix of Muff and Fuzz Faces.Spin, fold and mutilate to taste.
Oh, and just my personal input before the haters start trolling repeat uses of gear. Dsl40c, squire classic vibes, hot rod deluxe, etc. are all great equipment and very versatile. I personally rather enjoy seeing you use things multiple times, as it just shows the quality and versatility of the gear.
I use an Epiphone SG modified w/P90 "Buckers" and an Alvarez 335 into a Vox AC15 with good results. Peter used lots of different amps in the studio, but usually settled on Vox live and, ofc, his Rickys. I can't afford a Rick but find those guitars and my Schecter Tele Dlx "Fastback Special 2" work well. A Compressor and a good tone-shaping Boost should help. A Klon style, Xotic RC, or my fave underrated boost the MXR FET Driver all help. A chorus for the "Fables" tones :)
Mark Hodges Jr check out Nova Bloom mate I think you would like our stuff young indie band from Birmingham inspired by the likes of foals , AM , tash sultana
To all you young players out there looking for your first real rig I’ll say it every single time, Save some extra for a 1.Baja Telecaster - it’s an amazing guitar for the price 2. 410 hot rod deville - second hand or NOS and you can get them for $400 - -$700 and they are absolute drum killers 3. TS9 or go fancy for a TS808 reissue plus a crybaby wah All for well under $2000 and you will be the guitar envy of all your guitar playing friends. Great MIM guitar that sounds and plays like a dream with an amp that will outshine everything on the stage and it takes pedals for days. Pedals vary by personality but a tube screamer and wah are rights of passage for all of us. If you’re a metal guy the tele is still great just ask John 5 and maybe an AC15 instead or a Marshall. If you wanna go nuts just add a Harley Benton cab for a mini stack. Have fun playing!
Living color is nearly impossible cos Vernon used Parker fly's, his signature ESP Cult 86 and now the PRS Mira you can see in the background, his amps are mesa boogies but he also has a motherload of laptops and ipads as well as pedals so it can't be done under budget
No need to bust nothing; A 100 $ Epiphone Special and a Line 6 Spider.Sing songs about relationships that are all metaphors for your hair,- you know,- like Green Day .
My Seymour Duncan JB and 4 conductor 59' sounds incredible split. The JB is high output so split theres still plenty output and the 59' has a warm full tone that keeps it from sounding too thin split so it also sounds great. Sure they probably arent identical to a true single coil but they still sound amazing. Im completely happy using those pickups split in place of true single coils. I still want a few guitars that have single coils but i dont feel like i need them. I highly recommend spending the extra few dollars/pounds for the 4 conductor 59'. Having the bridge spilt and the neck as a humbucker or the bridge as a humbucker and the 59' in the neck split sounds so good. Such a great sound if you like to play clean. If you ever get a chance to try splitting just one at a time with a JB/59' settup im confident youll love it.
Other effects used by John Squire (first album/live): - Crest Audio Fuzz Face (Silicon BC109C) for I Am The Resurretion outro and some other stuff. Used with the TS9 stacked on top for a HUGE sound. - Ibanez CS9. A pedal that Ibanez recently remade/re-released as the Chorus Mini. Wonderful, shimmering chorus. - Squire also used the drive channel on a Mesa Boogie Mark amp, which is WAY out of the price range, but you can get pretty close to that tone with a good Distorion pedal. - Boss Flanger BF-2. Simple, solid and great sounding. And relatively inexpensive.
Will Power it was a completely diffrent guitar, two flying v gibson humbuckers, strat trem, coil taps, fender jag neck, custom body which was a mix of a strat and jaguar. But i must admit the squier vintage modified jags are great for roses, i own one
So basically, to sound like John Squire, 1) get a guitar and amp 2) be John Squire. Nice job BTW, getting nostalgia haha... BTW not sure what you are on about with the rosewood thing lol. Google it.
Freaking hell! Finally, The roses deserve some love, John squire is freakin phenomenal
I couldn't have put it better myself...
Ain’t that the truth John Squire is the best guitarist since the 70s in my opinion but gets so little attention from the guitar community
Shite

No he’s not.
Stone Roses are a bit overrated I would say, they only have half an album of decent songs
using a squier to sound like john squire. I see what you did there.
It sounded close though in fairness.
Somebody finally spelled Squier correctly. The world will end soon.
You mean someone finally disabled predictive text...the world will end soon, surely?

Holy shit! I didn't expect this one. Love the Roses and you and great job guys! :)
Am i the only person who found it really frustrating how he missed a note when playing ‘Waterfall’ ?
alex dun it’ll be a copyright thing I expect - was pretty obvious
alex dun with you there lad
You cannot play Waterfall without a capo END OFF!!!
I noticed that, doesn't sound right at all. Meant to be a capo on the 4th fret too
He made up for it with that fools gold tone though
Been waiting a long time for this one and you knocked it out the park lads. Nicely done!
Now about pixies without busting please?
Sound like The Cure Without Busting. Come on guys, you know this one would be fantastic and would take some serious thought!
Yeeeeeeeeees!!!!
Just a jazzmaster and a chorus pedal really, or a bass Xii but that’s really it
@Sunhead they also could get a squier VI bass for the exploding boy
YESSSS
Needs to be done
All that gear and not a capo in sight.....for John Squire lol. Very well done though!
Please do Steve Jones from the Sex Pistols !! So overlooked as a player and wow what a great album the made back in 1977.
dominicrobed along with John Squire, Keith Richards and George Harrison for being the most iconic British guitarists.
@@punkoid76 and considering he'd apparently only been playing for about three months before they played live is crazy to consider.
@@punkoid76 you forgot Joe Strummer from The Clash
@@YouCanCallMeXoe All helped on by dropping black beauty pills every night lol
There’s a live performance at Brixton on YT of Did you no Wrong. Jones distortion and tone are incredible.
Excellent job, and it was great to hear the bass included as well. I'm a big Bruce Foxton fan, so how about the Jam please?
Sound like The Clash! Can’t believe that hasn’t happened yet.
Cant believe how great Rabea sounded with the classic vibe and hotrod amp combo alone.

She bangs the drums is spot on!
John Squire is one of the best guitar players of all time
You should make a sound like Matt and Rabea, with your favourite gear and such. I would really enjoy that. Love your videos by the way, keep it going.
The stone roses arent britpop theyre madchester :/
George Kane tbf they’d actually be new wave as well
@@leobriers-corker1902 no they wouldn't
jhwalsh93 literally would
@@leobriers-corker1902 they are not new wave. do you even know what new wave is?

I prefer it to the debut, which sounds quite dated nowadays.
Second Coming is absolutely loaded with Page-inspired riffs 'licks.
John spent near 300,000 on a 59 LP, that was a major part of That sound plus obviously his incredible playing.
one of the greatest records there is....
Oh yeah guys....ah thank you so so much for doing this guy's I know I've posted a few times and I've seen quite alot of other people asking to do Stone Roses.....really Appreciate this.....your the best....I'm a happy contented man now.....I'm singing along as you play....your enjoying it too you both smiled at each other after that great sounding Waterfall intro....
1:25 Bless you Rabea, you're allergic to single coils?
And Indie music I imagine
Yes!! I haven't even started watching video yet (the ads are still rolling as I type) but really excited about this one!!
I was hoping to hear something from Second Coming... The best John Squire playing in my opinion. Next stop: The Cure or Suede.
DecOnline - Suede!!!!
DecOnline that ‘59 les paul!!
If it was Butler era... there’s no need the man already explained what how he achieved the early sounds in one of the BBC vids. Really simple!
The second coming is vastly underated the only bad track is the foz (track
90)
I'd say that bye bye badman is my favourite playing of his
Sound like early Genesis (Steve Hackett & Mike Rutherford) without busting the bank
I'm sold. That fender affinity for £359 is sounding amazing and those two pedals are great. I'm going to get that set up. Affordable and can have a good time playing with it all. I wish I'd never sold my old peavy amp and my vintage les paul junior style guitar. I miss playing

To be fair to bea and Matt, I think they do tend to just look up tabs to play the demonstrations as a pose to properly learning it
Oh Yes!!! the Stone Roses...nothing from Second Coming though! I am now going home tonight to (re)learn some classic Stone Roses songs.
Because Second Coming was a failure
To really get the stone roses vibe you should have taken the budget, blasted it on some class A gear then had to scrimp on some secondhand (possibly stolen) equipment.
Also defo getting closer to King Crimson sound like... midi synth belew/fripp bonanza awaits 👓👘🎩👔
that midi synth solo on elephant talk could be a single episode tbh
What They’re really missing is a bunch of pills and a joint
I ASKED CIRCLE OF TONE TO do this video ages ago and he never came thru so Thank you guys John Squire deserves way more recognition

2. 410 hot rod deville - second hand or NOS and you can get them for $400 - -$700 and they are absolute drum killers
3. TS9 or go fancy for a TS808 reissue plus a crybaby wah
All for well under $2000 and you will be the guitar envy of all your guitar playing friends. Great MIM guitar that sounds and plays like a dream with an amp that will outshine everything on the stage and it takes pedals for days.
