SLIDE AWAY: Complete Oasis Rebuild, Noel's Buried Lead Guitar Audible For The First Time (+ TAB)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 มิ.ย. 2021
- The Oasis classic Slide Away from Definitely Maybe, rebuilt and reconstructed in its entirety by James Hargreaves, with all of Noel Gallagher's lead guitar parts (including those buried deep in the mix) turned up + guitar TAB.
(10:21) - skip straight to the song
Notes on the chorus lead guitar part:
In the original recording, Noel actually laid down two different chorus lead guitar parts, one playing single notes with an overdriven crunch, and another clean track playing mostly rolling double-stop hammer-ons and arpegiated chords. However, in both the Whitfield Street Sessions mix and the Definitely Maybe mix, you can only ever hear one part at a time, and always very low in the mix, often to the point of being inaudible. I have therefore combined them into one chorus lead guitar part played with a very slight crunch that becomes more pronounced when played harder, which enables the lead guitarist to play the whole song start to finish on one guitar. As only one of these chorus lead parts is ever audible at a time, this seems like a good compromise!

I’d like to acknowledge the amount of work this must have required. Great job sir. Also, nice to see Bonehead get a bit of love.
Cheers Crinkle65 - yeah was a bit of work but fun too
@@JamesHargreavesGuitar James, great video. two questions - why not just ASK Noel to come on your channel for an interview. just reach out to his PR people. he's obviously watched more than a few of your videos, and you know his catalog inside and out. Considering that he's doing interviews on Guitar pedal channels - why the heck wouldn't he do your show. Next, what model telecaster are you playing? (please respond - I want one!)
It's so cool you give Bonehead the credit he deserves, I think he's amazing and still very underrated.
I think you mean overrated.
Imagine being paid a ludicrous amount of money to not write any songs, play any melodies, sing and JUST play bar chords.
He's the luckiest man alive.
That outro is one of the best bits, and I always used to turn it up during the fade and accidentally blast my ears with the start of Married With Children. Another difference with the 2014 version is they moved the start of the fade to an earlier point so there's even less of that guitar part.
Yeah the outro pretty much makes the song in my view - dont get me wrong, the whole song is great, but the outro makes it extraordinary
Definitely noels best backing singing IMO .everything about the outro is amazing.gives me chills every time
I've said it before, I love how noel added in those double stops.
Yeah his solos are simple, but really powerful and melodic
I love how w/ a lot of Oasis tunes there was an acoustic still strumming away w/ the electric rhythm guitar. It helps fill in the space in the mix.
Yeah they always had a really multi-layered rhythm section for their 90s recordings, tons of texture
I am blown away by your commitment, talent and borderline obsession to create this. I would class this as a great effort on the vocals too. Incredible.
Thanks Simon! Very kind of you to say 👍👍👍
Favourite part of this awesome song has always been the ‘aw … let me be the one’ bit. Pleased to see you did at 14.19! Great job 👍
Thanks Speedy! Yeah I tried to follow Liams vocal line pretty closely
Your singing is unreal here dude. Absolutely brilliant effort with the whole song but the singing blew me away! Not many people can do a good job of Liam’s vocals and you nailed it.
Mate, thanks so much for your kind words - much appreciated
I always wished the song doesn't fade out as quickly as it does so we can hear more of noels awesome lead guitar work. I'm a sucker for the awesome double stops placed throughout the song. Great Tutorial
Thanks EC! Glad you enjoyed
Thanks mate! This is perfect. I'm learning some Oasis covers to accompany my own original songs with my weekend band project. Noel is a highly underrated guitar player. He's not some crazy virtuoso, but plays elegantly and perfectly for his superbly written songs. Like a juicy medium rare beef steak he never overcooks his songs.
FWIW you can get the original version on Spotify too, it's under the "Other release" tab at the bottom of the album
Nice! I didn't know this. Thanks!
You can also get it if you search for the whatever single
Please please please, do one with “D’You know What I mean”. So many guitars layers in that song!
May have to do this at some point, had loads of people request it
(for some reason youtube deleted my original reply... how annoying)
Incredible recreation, James. Your research and insight into these tracks is always appreciated.
Thanks Brandon! glad you enjoyed
Legend letting all hang out like that respect
I don’t know why, but I’ve always adored that reeeeeeally long note hold then slide at the end of the guitar solo. It’s one of my favourite bits of any song ever.
Yeah its epic!
Your vocal performance on this is absolutely incredible!
As a singer myself I can definitely agree with you when you said your voice was like Marge Simpson's after six takes of Slide Away.. Especially the "Take me there!" part is very hard (for me at least), but you managed to maintain a clear sound throughout the outro. Very impressive, also your voice fits the song quite well, actually. I almost forgot you're not the original composer of the song😉.
I have a theory about the missing backing vocals discussed at 7:56. I think they were recorded at the same time as the Mister Sifter verse of Shakermaker. According to Owen Morris, the album was mastered (to DAT) with the "I'd like to teach the world to sing" lyric. I think that when Liam recorded the Mister Sifter verse, Noel also recorded the Slide Away harmony vocal over the top of the mastered song, and thus it would only exist on DAT. The 2014 reissue was mastered from the 1/2" analogue tape, which would not have this post-mastering tweak. (The 2014 remastered Shakermaker used the analogue tape for the bulk of the song, but switches to the DAT master for the Mister Sifter verse; you can clearly see this if you view the song's spectrogram.)
I think your voice is pretty damn good mane! Awesome work on the whole thing, I been looking for an accurate tab to this beast
Cheers Barron! Enjoy mate
(for some reason youtube deleted my original reply... how annoying)
What a brilliant and typically generous vid. As well as showcasing a whole bandsworth of skills, your analysis of how and why the initial album version was arrived at is superb. I agree with others about the vocals. You sound eerily close to Liam in style and clout. The outro solo bears out what you said about the need to play down the solo in the mix, but nonetheless proves what can be done with pentatonic boxes 1 and 2, double-stops and Noel’s wonderful groove-which of course you’ve totally got. I’d be interested to hear you talk about the production of the guitars in this or other Oasis recordings. Listening to that solo, I’m reminded that Noel said Jimmy McDonough’s biography of Neil Young (published in 2002, so 8 years after Definitely Maybe) changed his life. There’s a similar attitude: using what you’ve got with dogged determination. Thanks for all your work in exploring the Oasis catalogue. It’s a real education.
Cheers Steve!
Hahaha yeah NG did use a very limited palette in his playing, I think he was more focused on building emotion and soul in the sound than being technical - and while as a guitarist I always really enjoy it when he does get a bit more technical now and again, its songs like 'going nowhere' (a 3 chord trick) and similar that often actually move me the most!
Great video again mate! I remember seeing an interview with Noel from around 2000 when he talked about brick walling when he recorded....he just stacks these little separate guitar parts together which don’t sound like they contribute anything until their all mixed together to get that ‘sound’. Fascinates me to this day and it’s a way I record my own material. Great to finally see a perfect tab of the lead guitar parts. Excellent work 👍🏻
Hey Bryan, thanks! Yeah he really did go to town with the studio overdubs hahahahaha
It was Owen Morris who really crafted something genius out of them tho, for my money.
I also use a similar technique when recording - do loads of extra stuff, so you can cut away the bits that dont work and still have plenty left to play with 👍👍
Phenomenal work, there's some lovely lead guitar in the mix, back when noel actually played lead!!
Thanks Mark - yeah Noel's lead was absolutely excellent on DM - and also live during the BHN tour
@@JamesHargreavesGuitar think if said this too you before but I reckon supersonic live at gmex is the best version.also am epic version of fade in out as the encore at the same gig
YEES, I've been gagging to learn this! Keep it up James!
Nice one, happy jamming! 🎸🎸🎸👍👍👍
As a drummer and aspiring bass player, I can easily listen to these parts for an eternity. Great job James! If you ever get to Canada lets fucking JAM
Very good as ever. The best bit of any live version of this, back in the day, was always 'take me there/take me there/all you know is you can take me there/what for?!' a la Glastonbury 95. Live By The Sea, of course, ends with 'Take me there/Take me there... Southend!'
It's an amazing song. Imagine writing that at 23 years old.
Cheers AJ - ha yeah Oasis were ace at Glastonbury
So impressed with this, great job, I actually think this outro is better, you nailed the vocals too...
Cheers Neil! 👍👍👍
I am very impressed with not only all the work you've done for this video, but your vocals are outstanding
Thank you for this, really interesting. You’re a clever man!
Hey Headshrinker, you're welcome! Was fun to put together
Thank you very much for this James. This helps me so much with the band I'm in. If only I didn't have to work and could spend all day learning this kind of stuff. It's superb.
Excellent! Glad to hear it - happy jamming
(for some reason youtube deleted my original reply... how annoying)
Great job mapping all of this out, must've taken you ages. It's inspired me to go back and actually learn this properly instead of half-arsing it haha. Brilliant video!
Hi TS, nah it wasnt too bad! Was loads of fun to do
(for some reason youtube deleted my original reply... how annoying)
Favourite song of all time. Pure perfection
Cheers James!
James, I have watched many of your vids, but I don’t know how I missed this one. Absolute pure bloody gold mate. M y fav song of all time, taken to another level. You nailed this, knocked it out of the park. I still reckon though, and always will, that they made a HUGE mistake fading out the outro. So glad to here this, in my opinion, completed masterpiece.
Whatta great work. Thank you so much!
Absolutely love the outro sections. You could never have too much of this track! Thanks for recreating it.
Bloody love these track by track breakdowns... thanks a lot.
Cheers Edward, my pleasure
Great job. Impressed from Texas.
Only just saw this. Dude your absolutely talented. Amazing vocals and great guitar playing.
Just brilliant. ❤
amazing job, I've been searching for this tab for over 2 years! you are the GOAT bro!
Bridge harmonies are class.
I know! Wish they never removed them
As always, this is absolutely first class mate. Nice one and thank you James
Thanks!! My pleasure
Best Oasis song
It's a classic!
That was bloody brilliant mate, well done!
Cheers Scott! 👍👍🎸🎸
I’m glad your a man of your word, Mr. Hargreaves. Such an English sounding name. I know this tune but still a great lesson. Noel always said the band sped up live and in sessions. That compressor works magic too…..Noel certainly loves frets 5-7, doesn’t he? He loves arpeggios too. And good job on the vocals! That’s tough to sing but u did it justice. Cheers from an Austin, Tx. Oasis/Hargreaves fan.
Hey Jason, no worries mate, enjoy!
Yeah Noel didn't have the widest repertoire in the world when it came to his solos hahahahaha
(for some reason youtube deleted my original reply... how annoying)
@@JamesHargreavesGuitar James, I saw your first reply in email. U talked about NG not being Squire or Clapton. I agree he plays more for the song than any virtuoso bits. Honestly, people that find out I love Oasis and are puzzled till I turn them on. To me, Noel’s songwriting and guitar parts are more amazing than a lot of the “virtuosos”. Why? See how many tunes u can come up with that only have solos and fills from frets 5-7. NG uses these same pentatonic scales up and down the neck constantly yet, amazingly, he can create 10 killer tunes w essentially the same notes. I call that genius.
@@jasonq111 well said 👍👍
Fantastic job!!! Drums, vocals, tabs, everything!!!
Hahaha yep!
This is so great James! I PROPS to your singing and GTR playing brother, is really good, you had me singing the whole song along! Your channel is fantastic Keep it up please!
Excellent, thanks! Will do mate, more to come 👍👍👍🎸🎸🎸

Wow man! Great job - almost forgot i was listening to a cover :) and seeing the tabs alongside you playing, adds alot for an amateur like me! Thanks and keep up the good work 👍👍
Cheers BBL, glad you enjoyed, happy jamming 👍👍🎸🎸
Vocals are decent. Glad you're not too over the top with them. No one can outdo Liam's original in my opinion. Fantastic work on all the guitar parts and I loved hearing the complete outro. Keep up the great work!
Bloody good job on that James. Cant be arsed to learn anymore Oasis songs myself but great learning vid for those that do.....peace to ya.
Singing is on point !!! Plus yer insightfulness on the tracks! (Had no idea) Thanks. Keep them coming.
Great vid from start to finish. Thanks a lot.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Grafter mate, I absorbed every word as I am currently breaking definitely maybe down myself, very useful to me keep up the good work. Your my new resource lol
Great job man, I am in love with your guitar
Hahahaha thanks Jordi. Its a Fender Telecaster Vintera Deluxe (MIM). Excellent tone through a blackstar
Really enjoyed this video. Could you do a similar video on Columbia? There’s a lot going on in Columbia...
Interesting suggestion... definitely a possibility in the future sometime
A,d,c repeat to end.
Great job. I did not know this particular Oasis’ song, but I loved it.
Excellent! Thanks - go check out the original too 👍👍
It’s one of their finest……Absolutely banging tune!
fantastic work
Thanks KK! 🎸🎸🎸
*GOOD TO BE BACK* ❤️
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
Incredible work. A real joy to watch. Keep it up!
Thanks Jonathan! More to come :)
Excellent job! Maybe columbia next?
Possibly one day! watch this space
(for some reason youtube deleted my original reply... how annoying)
@@JamesHargreavesGuitar no worries👍🏾
Great video James! I think you should do a video like this highlighting the lead guitar on bring it on down personally one of my favourite songs for Noel’s lead parts
Hi Watto, may look into this in the future 👍👍👍
(for some reason youtube deleted my original reply... how annoying)
@@JamesHargreavesGuitar cheers James think it’d be a good video idea for you and also interesting for yourself looking into it :)
The master recording is in A446 if anyone wants to know what to set their tuners to!
Hello James, this is an outstanding job! The level of detail you put in your TH-cam productions is unique! Would it be possible for you to share the multitracks with each guitar layer isolated, or guitar backing tracks for lead and rhythm guitars? Cheers
Fantastic video. Nice job. Thoroughly enjoyed.
Cheers, thanks for watching 👍👍
Brilliant video James I love these please keep them coming ❤️
Cheers Rich! Always more on the way geezer 👍👍🎸🎸
Their best song.
i love your channel
THE greatest oasis song of all time
Absolutely fantastic job!!!

Thanks Jim! 👍👍🎸🎸
Awesome work as always.
Cheers James!
Much appreciated

DYKWIM next please! 🙏
I love it!!!
Thanks! :)

@@JamesHargreavesGuitar thank you, for your new reply
Mega 🙌🏻🙌🏻 best Slide away video on TH-cam 🚀🚀🚀
Great stuff! Thank you very much for your work!
Thanks! my pleasure 👍👍🎸🎸
Superb 👏
Mate, fantastic video ! You are fast becoming to Oasis what Mark Lewisohn is to The Beatles ; I bow before your knowledge.
Lol thanks Roy! I'll take that haha
Awesome job. Well done on everything including the vocals. You could be a top notch one man oasis cover band. 👍
Another class video James ma man
Thanks Jamie! Enjoy 🎸🎸🎸
If you go on the whatever single on Spotify you can hear the backing vocals on slide away in the bridge 👍
Cool - yeah I didn't realise that apparently you can also select an 'alternative version' for DM and hear the 94 mixes instead on Spotify
Amazing job ! Thanks
Glad you liked it!
Great videos
James top job like.
Even thou The Verve have a song called Slide Away as well, the Oasis one does give me early Verve vibes to it.
I Hope, I Think, I Know was probably Liam's best vocal and also I think it was the last song Noel wrote that had that Oasis raw thing still about it.
Yeah I love IHITIK - I always thought that should have been in a more prominent place on the album. Love the solo on it too. But for some reason it became the 'Hey Now' of that album. Never got why that was.
Yeah James you never hear much Oasis fans talk about that forgotten gem. I see it like the Bring It On Down of the Be Here Now album. I think Noel placed all his bets on All Around The World song from the start and it backfired against him keeping it for the 3rd album. Noel being Noel should of put All Around The World out as a double A side with Whatever.
Awesome stuff again!
Cheers Bob!
Top job. Excellent.
Thanks TC! Was fun to put together 👍👍🎸🎸
The live version from Glastonbury in 1995 is my fav ever Oasis live performance. 👍🏻
Cool, good call
Nice work man !
Thanks Michel! 👍👍
I knew you were a decent player, I didn't know you were such a decent singer. Kudos pal.
Thanks so much AJB - much appreciation
once again.. mint my man
Cheers Steven! 🎸🎸🎸👍👍👍
Great work James, really interesting video and great to hear all the guitar parts that were buried in the mix
Cheers Wayne - was lots of fun to make + transcribe
You can find the original mix of slide away on Spotify just find the one that doesn’t say remastered. I just heard Noel’s harmonies on the “slide in baby” and it’s the only version of the song I’ll listen to now
Yeah I discovered you can find alternate versions on there after someone commented!
This is brilliant 👏
Cheers Adam!
Great video 👍🏻
Cheers Graeme!
Awesome job….👍👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
Also the vocals are amazing!
very good loved and liked.
Excellent thanks WS 👍👍👍🎸🎸🎸
Cant believe they took out noels bv. I noticed with "be here now" too. They tinkered with the sound and it's not right. Especially with the beginning of "it's getting better man".
Yeah, I agree. The remasters weren't an improvement in my view - all the cool extra tracks released were really interesting, but the actual remasters of the actual albums all went downhill a bit to my ear
