  • One of Britain's greatest rockstars has just released a new single. Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds are back with the new song "Pretty Boy". I am and have been a big Oasis fan for a long time, so let's see if this song holds up to his reputation as one of the best songwriters around.

      This song from Noel sounds like something Jason Falkner would write.

    I was watching my favourite show QI and according to some research into musical taste, it emerges that when we reach a certain point in our lives we tend to prefer listening to the music we loved in our youth. It then follows that new music is overlooked in favour of whatever we rocked out to during our formative years. Watching your channel Justin enables me to explore great new and also new old music I wasn’t previously aware of. Thank you from my heart for expanding my musical horizons.

    Johnny Marr is easily my favourite guitarist, I can’t fathom how I haven’t seen him live.
    His riffs give me serious goosebumps, some real euphoria.
    I’d adore it if you could do a video about his latest album Fever Dreams, or perhaps Call the Comet, genuinely gorgeous indie rock.

      I've seen him a few times now, and he never disappoints! Johnny's played with the greats, and he is a guitar god in his own right, yet on stage, he is humble and engaging (even joking around) with the audience. He gives off "genuine good guy" vibes, even though he is rocking out flawlessly and iconically.
      I really enjoyed Call The Comet and agree this would be a cool album to highlight.
      I hope you get to see him some day soon!

I think they're both brilliant, but I liked The Clash and The Cure and The Alarm and Paul Weller in whatever he does. I won't say that The Jam was better than the Style Council or Paul's solo work. I know it's just your opinion, but the Morrissey reference was unnecessary.

    That "last chord" sounds like a G#m7b5 (B, D, F#, G#). Very common in jazz and prog. What may actually be going on is the guitar is playing a partial Bm (B, D, F#) and the bass is adding the G#.

      @ChainNonSmoker ปีที่แล้ว

      Ahem...
      The songs aren't "in pentatonic" or "not in pentatonic"
      Songs (usually) are in a KEY, either minor or major -key. It is the phrases(ie. solos, licks and riffs) played with guitar that can be played using pentatonic scales or other scales, but it's just music terminology really since most rock(and maybe blues) guitarists just play the fuck they feel like fits the song possibly ending up playing lots of tones that are included in pentatonic scale of the KEY the songs are in. Heck, even B.B. King the praised Blues legend does that.
      Noel plays lots of lead parts that can be found in pentatonic scales, but he don't just stick to that, he's been heard playing melodic parts that can be in major scale, blues scale(the pentatonic scale with additional "blue notes" both major and minor blues scales), or even some mixolydian modes from time to time(although rarely) if you really wish to over-analyze it.
      But he probably never taught himself any of the formal knowledge about guitar theory scales or harmonies etc. But is just coming up with some fingerings himself or by mimicking the music he likes from the past(which most musicians do anyway) that suit whatever song he's playing lead guitar on.
      Not claiming he's like "tHe GrEaTest GuiTaRist ever!!!", he's very basic in his ways and owes shitload to the likes of Steve Jones, George Harrison and maybe Johnny Marr what comes to his abilities as guitarist but it's just the claim "Oasis songs are in pentatonic" I am pointing out being a very lazy statement.
      Cheers!

    It's a good pop song in that it does what it sets out to do, it's catchy, and repetitive. I think you're right that it lacks any diversion from just being a pop song, but then I suppose it doesn't need to. I think it's sad that pop is what sells (or is rather force fed until it does) rather than creative and diverse music. Not to say Noel isn't talented, but I think there are many other artists who deserve as much if not more attention.

    • @myenemysenemy1043

      Guess it depends on what your definition of pop is. Oasis was technically very poppy, but also falls under rock. Meanwhile, bands like the XX would be considered pop, but made some very interesting and creative electronic music.

    • @DanDevey
      @DanDevey ปีที่แล้ว

      @@myenemysenemy1043 I personally think of pop as more of a format of song writing than a genre of music. Mostly formed around the ABABCB format, heavy chorus, catchy hooks, and easy to follow melody, usually in C. A lot of genres tend to blend when it comes to pop, because it doesn't really matter what genre it is, if it's popular and in the charts, then in my opinion it becomes pop. The definition of pop is popular music, but a lot of popular music tends to follow the same trends that are proven to work. I think music that tries to be itself rather than fall into the trap of following the trend is a lot more potent, because it gives you something you don't expect.
      A lot of songs that have stepped into the charts over the years have managed this, but a large majority of it is just copy and paste, because it's guaranteed to sell. That's my gripe I guess, the ratio is out. This song sells 1. because it's Noel Gallagher and they can get the exposure, and 2. because it follows the format, and if it's played enough it'll sell. That's it though, it doesn't sell because it's doing anything especially creative, it's just Noel Gallagher's new song. Which is great for a product, but lacks any real depth as a musical composition.

    I do find it funny that your truce towards him as a guitarist ended up just be a compliment to Johnny Marr - those are never enough to be honest. Look, I am a huge Oasis fan and I loved the first couple of albums by the High Flying Birds. But I'd be lying if I said I haven't been at the very least... not interested in a lot of his recent releases. I respect he's just kinda doing what he wants like that comment said but I'll stick to the older catalog though. His songwriting just hasn't been doing much for me (this is all my opinion after all), the production tends to be a bit dull and the lyrics were never really coherent but most of what he writes now are just filler words and don't transmit the feelings and auras they had before. But I'll stay mad fer it until the end of times; Noel is a legend.

    I think that elusive chord is the infamous E7/G# chord (played entirely on the 4th fret) Noel uses in the bridge to Don't Look Back In Anger isn't it? So in this it's Bm, D, E7/G#, G. There's a video James Hargreaves does on this elusive Don't Look Back In Anger chord I will link. When I play Don't Look Back In Anger though I do an E7/G# played like an E7 and stretch one finger over to the G# bass note on the 4th fret. It works / sounds great. The E7/G# is also used in Robbie Williams' Angels on the "call" near the end of the chorus, "when I come to call, she won't forsake me, I'm loving Angels instead". th-cam.com/video/cXd9JmkywJc/w-d-xo.html
