this song rocks, such proof that being a guitar virtuoso is often less important than making something that rocks and excites people....thanx carl! graham coxon is a really cool guitar player!
@@TheHonkler6868 It wasn't, though. They never said it was, that's a rumor that just spread so much that people just consider it true. The song started off on acoustic with the woohoo being a whistle by Damon, and Graham is the one who made the song sound like it does. They wanted to make as much noise as possible, hence why there's so much distortion. They really just messed around and came up with this, no intention to satirize or anything
I would say very often. So many simple riffs have blown the roof off of venues. Guitar masters get boring, at this point I’d rather hear a simple riff with a whole lot of energy than yet another shredder
@@elikrop3999 there are some guitar players who can combine complexity and still make riffs fun and catchy, dimebag darrel comes to mind. dimebag could often write insanely complex leads and rhythm parts and then combine them with a simple primal riff or riffs. a great example would be domination or walk.....but yeah in general i agree with you. i get real bored of shredders and guys who just try and show off their chops.....
Graham Coxon explains it perfectly. Just be lazy and sloppy with the rhythm. That's how it was intended. Half arsed mess around that turned into a hit. They called it the silly song in the studio
This is the accurate way to play this song, however you can go for a heavier sound by playing it in drop D and it sounds killer. Play the 5th string power chords on the D&G strings(middle two strings)instead, moving the shape from the 3rd to the 1st, then to the 6th 8th and 10th frets. Then play your one finger Drop D power chords, same fret sequence, and see if you like it!
Well sometimes too much gain is bad thing or if you have too much buzz going from it probably switch pickups if you have a humbucker on your guitar. But it depends on your amp and how you play I found out when amp made alot noise it was giving me feedback that I play sloppy and accidently pick strums without noticing it unplugged.
Hey so I got all the fingering down and I can play the song but when I play the clean part and I record myself playing it sounds like a hit the E string to hard and it kinda over powers the other strings how do I fix this?
That's probably because you are hitting it too hard, distortion/overdrive usually masks/disguises impurities in playing and people get away with a load of things: try changing the angle of entry when strumming or making sure everything rings out clean and getting used to that.
@@valerieb.7019 I bought my guitar back in the cold winter of France and brought it back with me in the unbearable heat of indian ocean. Now? I can't tune it. Drastic temperature changes somehow made something to it and I gotta get it repared now. I tried adjusting the bridge just as Fender suggests it be 2,4 2,4 2 2 2 2 but it still doesn't sound right. I mean I've been tuning my accoustic guitar for years so I know when one sounds out of tune
Today I Learned about SONG 2: guitar1 strums on F - Eb - G# - Bb - C , chorus on G# only while the bass and second guitar strums on F# - E - A - B - C# (one step higher than guitar1) that makes a lot of sense why im frustrated playing it.
Hey acoustic players, I gochu: Capo 1st fret. The rest is cake. Shapes. E, D, G, A, B
Chorus. E, G, C
Then you WOO HOO!!
thanks WOO HOO!
WOO HOO
WOO HOO

the bassist of Blur does alot more work in Song 2 than he is given credit for
Oh yeah no doubt, are you a fellow bassist aswell?
Bassist in blur is very underrated
@@lewimac1924 criminally underrated my dude, couldnt agree more
The fact that all of you call him just the bassist speaks for itself, his name is Alex lmao
Alex james he has a name

I wouldn’t say “often”…
but, in this case…absolutely!!
this song was written as a parody of American grunge
its also Blur's only soung that saw success in the American grunge scene

Uh i am kinda new to the guitar. You are probably not even gonna read this but how does he change the sound of the guitar in that time stamp?
@@michaelmelise he has a footpetal which changes the mode of the guitar or you could do it manually on your guitar amp
@@URG2003 thank you very much for the quick reply :D
@@michaelmelise no problem I was new to the guitar culture once aswell everyone has to learn something new. 😎
@@URG2003 completely agree👍🏾
OMG this song is twenty years old in 2017...
Woo hoo!
I love eletric guitat but i always have problems with tuning and correctly making amp adjustments for it to sound good

But it depends on your amp and how you play I found out when amp made alot noise it was giving me feedback that I play sloppy and accidently pick strums without noticing it unplugged.
i suggest you a plug in! plug ins are a lot cheaper and they contain a lot of sounds compared to traditional amps.
and with a plug in you won’t have any type of problems with sounds and tuning =)
@@sebastianchitic298 that requires a pc right?
@@violethill4454 yes, and an audio interface
easy riff but badass sound
Thanks, good lesson. I hadn't realised the chords in the chorus are slightly different. Good to know.
Something I can play and actually sing to too!! 🤘
Dudes fingernails on his strumming hand are next level
If you tune into drop A and modify it a little, you can do some cool stuff with this song. It basically adds the baseline.
Thank you so much for taking the time to create and upload these videos...Please do Bat Country by A7X next if possible.
Thanks for the lesson this was easier to play than I thought
This song is easier if after the first two chords u switch to root four and do power chords on g# Bb and c
great I've been wanting you to do this
Schwaboiarde me too
Schwaboiarde Why would u need a video tutorial on this song just look at tabs wtf?

What a disto! wich one is that?
It’s not making a sound when I hold down the strings when I try to play the 2 chords with the pick

Lol
Why did i get a guitar ad before the video started😂😂😂👌
How are you getting your tone?
Jacob i think i have the same problem as u
Is it that it sounds untuned but isnt?
@@valerieb.7019 if your guitar sounds out of tune when your open strings are in tune you probably need to adjust your bridge.
@@valerieb.7019 I bought my guitar back in the cold winter of France and brought it back with me in the unbearable heat of indian ocean.
Now? I can't tune it.
Drastic temperature changes somehow made something to it and I gotta get it repared now.
I tried adjusting the bridge just as Fender suggests it be 2,4 2,4 2 2 2 2 but it still doesn't sound right.
I mean I've been tuning my accoustic guitar for years so I know when one sounds out of tune
Aurøre Franquart temperature changes and just high or low temperature is a big no no for any type of instrument I feel
He has a pedal bro
can u do some Gary Clark Jr. please!!!
Great lesson! I was wondering could you do a cover of California Kids by Weezer
How are you getting your tone?
Should i include the E string in strumming?
You bar the low e string and include it from what I understand.
Could you do frayed end of sanity or call of the Cthulhu please
can you do a cover on a King Krule song please
a lesson I mean
just had to check how it is actually played but I have always played it in drop D, for that bassier sound.
Can you teach shape of my heart by sting

i did it with my ring finger on d and pinke on g works just fine
When I feel heavy METH On...smoke it
I did think something was off in the previous upload.
never knew the Hulk played guitar
He'd smash the guitar if he miss a note. That's just Dr. Bruce Banner.
that moment when the button to switch between clean and distortion is in your amp so you basically can't play this song...
Giacomo Bergonzi I Have the same problem,The button to switch distortion to clean is on my amp,Any Solution of alternative way?i do have some pedals
Luckily I have a switch on my guitar
I use my foot to change it on mine 👍
At second 0:16 there is no "WOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"
I can’t do the “down up down” strumming.
Use a pick
DENNY J I am using a pick but it ends up getting caught between the strings.
Do Metallica Confusion :)
Today I Learned about SONG 2:
guitar1 strums on F - Eb - G# - Bb - C , chorus on G# only
while the bass and second guitar strums on F# - E - A - B - C# (one step higher than guitar1)
that makes a lot of sense why im frustrated playing it.
Please.
