Thank you for your kind words🙏 Yes, there are some nice guitar parts in this traditionally electronic group's song. Enjoy! 🎸😊

Thank you so much - you are most welcome! 🙏 It is a great song and a good example of how great bands can build epic songs out of essentially two base chords. Yes, enjoy that one! 😃🎸😊

Firstly, thank you very much for your very kind feedback - I've never been considered an expert by anyone before! 😅 Regarding the chords, play open D chord but bring your thumb over the fifth and sixth strings to dampen them as you strum. For the F#, I would always urge new guitarists to barre your first finger across strings one, two and three at the second fret, and then place your second finger on the third string at the third fret. This is the least punishing fingering for new guitarists and this moveable shape is very handy. If you then remove your second finger, the chord becomes an F#m. With just those two simple shapes on any of the twelve frets, you will be able to play 90% of rock and pop songs. Thank you again for your support and just let me know if there are any songs that you would like me to cover in the future. Above all else, though, keep at the guitar and enjoy all of the degrees of progress that you make. 🙏🎸😃

@@britrockguitar Oh my gosh! You are most definitely an expert - Thank you so much for this it has helped me tremendously! I’ve been told the opening sounds exactly like the track & I learnt that from your video!! I wish all the best 🎸😁😁

@@MiMi-pj2dv wow, once again I am truly humbled by your kind words. I am delighted to have been able to help. 🙏😊

Thank you very much for your kind feedback. 🙏 I usually only use a 3w amp for these beginner's videos but for this one I used a 30w Cube amp😅 Yes, my neighbours were also unimpressed...🎸🤪

@@stevenish95 The opening notes are played on a piano but are just G (twice), open A, G, C and open D. These then lead into those chords that are in the video. Enjoy! 🎸😃

And you, sir, are very welcome indeed! 🙏🤪🎸

I tend not to play the whole song through, mainly due to the longer video size and length. Also, some viewers will inevitably comment on the performance rather than viewing it as the (hopefully!) simple guitar tutorial that it is. 🎸😅

Thank you for your excellent comments and you are absolutely right - Steve Cradock is a fantastic musician. OCS are one of my favourite bands and Cradock's playing with Weller has been consistently immense. Interesting fact: I went to the same school as Steve and lived just up the road from him! 😅

You're most welcome 🙏 Enjoy banging this great tune out! 🎸🤪

You're most welcome 🙏 enjoy playing this one! 😃🎸

You're most welcome 🙏 enjoy playing this lovely tune! 🎸

I will be honest, I would never have attempted to figure out a song like this either! 😅 The gentleman who requested it came across as really passionate and sincere, so I was happy to do it for him. You're quite right - if you can get a process in place that works for you, you will be able to figure out any song independently, and this has to be the ultimate aim of any teacher. Yes, you are most welcome 🙏 the pleasure was all mine (in the end!). 😆🎸🤪

Hey, this was a piece of cake after the mild trauma of 'Brainstorm Interlude'! 🤪😅😊🎸

@@britrockguitar wasn’t it?😁🫡

Thank you very much - always a pleasure! 😃🎸

You are most welcome and I am delighted that you found it useful! 🎸🎸😊😊 By showing people the process of figuring out a song, it will hopefully encourage them to develop their own ear by applying it to other songs that they wish to learn. A win-win situation, for sure! 😁

@@britrockguitar Bro its gonna lit,Thankkkkkk you once again🥳🥳

You are most welcome - I am really glad that you found it useful. Enjoy playing that one! 😊😊🎸🎸

I believe that it was featured on 'A Northern Soul'. It's quite a chaotic track! 😅🎸

No, I just need a guitar and a plectrum, in all honesty.

No, I am good, thank you. This is just a small channel for my guitar students and, as such, is only aimed at new guitar players. I have no interest in being famous or popular. The simple pleasure of playing guitar is more than enough for me, trust me! 😅😅

Please confirm the artist and song - is it 'Brainstorm' by Arctic Monkeys? 🎸🎸

@@britrockguitar Of course The Verve Mate ,Track Name is “Brainstorm interlude” by The Verve Lead Guitarist Sir Nick McCabe!!! Plz plz plz

@@FZ779 There's some serious McCabe sonic sorcery on that tune - I hope you're not just trying to get me kicked out of my apartment!! 🎸😁

@@britrockguitar Lol,Believe me i can put my clock on if you say yes ,plz😇

First verse will be okey for me Mate!!Big request from UAE

Thank you once again for your wonderfully kind comments about my choice of tutorials - I can clearly see that you understand where I am coming from with this channel! It would have been the easiest thing in the world for me to have done 30 Oasis songs, 30 Paul Weller, 30 The Verve, on so on, but I am trying to show the diverse guitar parts in each song, certainly in the longer tutorials. It might be a unique strumming pattern in one or, in this example, the 'chugging muting' (I'm sure that cannot be the technical term for it!). I really hope that your playing is coming along. 🙏🎸😊

Thank you for your very kind feedback - I do appreciate it. Yes, it is that opening chord that gives the song its mystical allure. Just listening to it again now, it sounds like an Em9. My tinnitus must have been playing up when I recorded this tutorial! 😅😅🎸🎸

Wow - thank you so much for your kind words! I feel truly humbled and am happy that you found it useful. 🙏🙏🎸🎸😊😊

Terrific stuff - keep at it and just let me know if you have any tutorial requests! 🎸🎸😊😊

@@beb4354 😁🎸Here's one i prepared earlier: czcams.com/video/NUK0yKCgGa8/video.html

The chords are correct - in the band's official video the lead guitarist plays C. F and G, whilst the rhythm guitarists uses a capo at the third fret (I did state this in my description). I am not sure if you are a subscriber, but this channel is primarily for new guitarists - they would struggle with the chords relative to the capo aspect of the song, let alone the strumming pattern. However, in the interests of catering for all levels, here is a quick tutorial that you might find useful: czcams.com/video/UYIwlq_iNd8/video.html

You're welcome - you are clearly a man of great musical taste! 😁 I seem to recall that the video was quite trippy but I will be sure to revisit it now. Thank you! 🎸

Thank you - you're welcome - enjoy! 🎸🎸😊😊

You're always welcome - I hope that you found it useful!

Yes, I certainly can - great tune! 👍😄🎸

You're quite right, it's a very unique song and I hope that it was easy to follow. Enjoy! 😊😊🎸🎸

Thank you very much - you are welcome. Enjoy! 🙏😊🎸

This song is definitely 'Oh Sister', I can assure you! 😅😅🎸🎸 'So Sister' is also a great song by The Verve, though!

Okay, a schoolboy error...I see they wrote one called Oh Sister and also So Sister. Does Ashcroft have a sister? And if so, why is she causing him so many problems?

🤣🤣 I think he has two sisters - no wonder there's so many problems!😅@@biscuitheque79

@britrockguitar Ah. We've cracked the code today why there's so much pain in his songs: women.

Thank you for your feedback. I did this one on the fly from scratch after having only heard the song a couple of times. I can honestly say that there were definitely no chords/tablature (or possibly even lyrics!) online when I recorded this, so it is a very honest attempt at pointing new guitarists in the right direction with this great songwriter's amazing tunes.

@@britrockguitar I have been racking my brains trying to get the outro specific chords right. Normally NG songs are so easy to get right. Apologies I came across abrupt by the way.....just read my comment. I'm an arse. Ignore me. CZcams and people like you unloading tutorials are helpful

No, you certainly did not come across negatively, please don't worry. 🙏 It is such a beautiful song and you are definitely right to point out anything that needs to be improved. @@neilcolligan9025

Okay, I have just had another listen to the song and the last few chords sound like Noel's Gm variation chord, then D, then a series of chords using forward slash/D chords. Try: C/D, Gm/D, Bbm7/D, Gm/D again before finishing on a D. I really hope that is of some use because I do understand how frustrating it can be trying to get it spot on! @@neilcolligan9025

@@britrockguitar the song is fantastic. Belongs with the quality b sides from the 90s

You are always welcome! 🙏🎸😊

Thank you very much for your kind and positive words - I shall certainly look into some Bad Company for you! 🎸🎸😁😁

@@britrockguitar Thank you for your time and your reply to.

Yes, that is a lovely song. I think the chords are fairly simple (maybe just C, F and G for the Orbison version and possibly the same but with the guitar tuned half a step for the U2 cover version.

I hear ya', buddy! 😅

Thank you very much for your kind words. I am truly humbled 🙏🙏🎸🎸😊😊

@@britrockguitar best thing….you don’t waste one second of your presentation with mindless rambling….straightforward….and “not a speck of cereal” thanks man

I shall do my best to keep things 'cereal free' for you! 😁@@voxpapa21

@@britrockguitar 😂✌️

You are welcome - enjoy! 🎸🎸😊😊

You are most welcome! Yes, you're right - it's a really lovely tune with an unusual melody. Enjoy playing this one through a nice clean amp setting! 😁🎸

In hindsight, I would actually go with DD UDU for a smoother rhythm.

@@britrockguitar wow thanks bro

My pleasure - it is such a classic tune. Enjoy! 😁🎸
