- 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.

Here is a link to the Thundergong event if you’d like to attend: thundergong.org
its an E chord with a G# on the bass😁
As a viewer from Kansas (City), Missouri, I was so excited to hear you are here! I hope your show is great, but unfortunately, at this late date the tickets are above my price range. I hope to see you live someday, and I hope you enjoy our lovely city.
This song from Noel sounds like something Jason Falkner would write.
Speaking of Jason Falkner, it would be pleasant to hear you review and dabble with one of his songs.
Lovin that Les Paul custom.
Justin this is fast becoming my favourite You Tube channel.
Quality content my man.
Günderthong ? Is that part of the stage costume worn over a lenticular jumpsuit
I like how Justin says it's very "Johnny Marr-esque" when it's actually Johnny Marr on the track. Well done.
Guessing he didn't have a list of musicians who played on the track. Although it shows a little lack of preparation it also highlights his ear for certain guitarists playing styles is pretty bang on
He knew that Johnny marr played on the track he’s kidding on to make himself look even cleverer than he is 👌
@@alexbennett9407 It’s definitely lack of prep, sometimes if I have too much info it’s really boring to listen to me rattle of facts.
@@JustinHawkinsRidesAgain that’s probably a wise choice. Entertainment first after all
@@JustinHawkinsRidesAgain Thanks for the reply! However you prep or don't prep, please don't change it as these videos are always interesting, entertaining and very funny imo
The riff was actually Johnny Marr, he's on the guitar throughout the track
Ha! ...No wonder I was thinking this song is my favorite from Gallagher's solo career. Good on him.
A riff from A Forest by The Cure
@@gregoryfilms9405 Indeed, absolute classic Cure song. Early one.
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. Many congrats on your imminent achievement of having attracted 300,000 subscribers. You deserve it. Love your passion for sharing your viewpoint on an eclectic range of music 💛😊
Classic Justin love it when you break down and explain new music in a way that bridges the gap between enthusiast and musician
addicted to this channel , narrated by a person with a great sense of humour and he talks about music , great combination 🙂 I have friends who used to talk about "the Darkness" , they saw them so many times at the minor festivals early 2000's
Waiting for the Pixar lamp behind you to turn to camera.
PS Attended The Darkness show in Brisbane a few weeks ago. Bloody hell; it was wonderful. Thank you so much, Justin. Thank you. xo
Liz (Adams' sister)
Took two of my sons to the Tivoli that night. Was their first live show - talk about setting the bar high for their first gig! Will be going back to see Southern River Band in the next couple of weeks too. Never seen the headliners bring the support act back on stage like that (it's rare to see them even acknowledged). Brilliant from start to end. Can't wait for another Darkness tour. Thanks Justin!
I love Justin's insane musical knowledge, so nerdy yet massively satisfying to listen to him talk about
I love you spotted Johnny Marr without realising it - great ear! Keep doing these great videos.
I love to watch these, good music, passion in music from you and commitment and humour - it’s fantastic and highlight of the day… this is a great track again 😊
I've been enjoying your videos for a while now so thought I'd comment. I LOVE both your humour and your knowledge of music theory. It's absolutely fucking brilliant! 😂 Keep up the good work with dissecting other people's music and writing your own. As a musician myself, we need people like you to comment on songwriting and breaking it down for us mere mortals.
The riff is johnny marr.
He played on the ballad of the mighty too
Pretty boy is a fantastic tune.
Can't wait for his new album.
@Eddie Viv You can probably hear about ten songs in it because it's a generic derivative and not to mention very boring tune would be my guess.
Superb piece Justin. It's brilliant how you listen and then are immediately able to play the tune. A fascinating watch, high fives all around!
The music theory explanations in your reviews are definitely more accessible at my level than the on on Rick Beato's channel. Tahnk you and keep it up :)
Justin and Noel collab would be a dream come true. Plus, ecstatic about the electric intro/outro
Thanks Justin, it's a brilliant video! Grazie from Bergamo, Italy
Not seen you in years and it's fantastic to find you have a YT channel 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Justin, we'd love a video of you just rocking out, playing and analysing Darkness/other riffs!
I’ve been obsessed with this song since it came out. Just something about it.
LOVE the cool studio gear background
Justin, great channel . I didnt realise that " cutting the mustard with Whitesnake " was the benchmark of the classic lead guitarists. As a huge Whitesnake fan , top quality...
Never got to see Oasis live but saw Noel twice and he was amazing both times, even with his scissors player 😂
I saw High Flying Birds live and thought they weren't half bad. Preferred them to Oasis. I wouldn't have bothered even seeing Oasis. I never took to Liam's voice and his neanderthal swaggering.
Saw Oasis live 4 times. Fantastic gigs, amazing crowds.
Looking good Justin, but had to watch this twice because the first time round all I could think was “where’s the moustache gone? 😩” 😂
Nothing wrong with a pentatonic scale, but 5 minutes straight of the same thing?🥱
Gorgeous Les Paul! Always love watching you play guitar and seeing you play an electric for a change is always a treat 🥰
Oh, it's out? I can't wait to go have a listen!
Didn't really listen to the first high flying birds don't even know how many albums there are, but my goodness! That Who built the Moon? That was fabulous! Big fan.
After that I became like a retroactive Oasis fan. I was a pretty casual listener previous to that. Now I see the song writing splendor!
Extremely inspiring.
The Peter Cook of reactions. Just came across this channel, love the way Justin breaks the songs down with that quintessential English humour, great stuff.
Love high flying birds, the quality of all he songs are insane, the spotify play list is an eargasm.
E7/G# one of my favourite things to do in a minor key. Love the channel Justin!
That's so cool I usually go to some part of Thundergong every year. I didn't know you guys were going to be there, perhaps you guys will be the part I attend this year.
Would love to see a tour of your studio Justin!
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.
Saw him at Roskilde Festival in 2019, and it remains my absolute favorit concert ever!
Yes! Some great tracks on Fever Dreams. (Saw Marr with The Pretenders back in the day... It was epic, "Message of Love" being a highlight).
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!
Johnny puts the music first - a lot like Justin
@Eddie Viv You British people will try to do anything to start a feud, won't you? Nobody cares about Johnny Marr and Morrissey over here! 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.
Noel was a formula rock star with Oasis. But it was a formula he invented, the Oasis sound. A small part of the reason why he's not bothered with a reunion. Been their, done that. Now he is free to do what he wants. So he does. And its still great. Man is a genius, as many have said before.
Hey dude just recently discovered your CZcams channel. Your an absolute legend! Have a lovely day and thanks for your critiques and wonderful attitude.
Love that LP. Good show Justin 👍👍
Ballad of the Mighty I is one of my favorite songs of Noel’s. One of the best songs of the last 10years. Great stuff
Mr Marr played on that one too 👍
WTF is wit all the filthy perverts in the video? Noel has sold his soul.
Thanks for the FuCkInG laugh !!!! Ha Ha Fuckin HA
@@barrythomas2357 I don't think it was a joke... you're strange.
@@DerekDerekDerekDerekDerekDerekAn illiterate called Barry...Enough said.
Would love to see videos of you just jamming and playing songs solo, that'd be incredible
Would love to see him do covers.
@@user-bj2lu9qt3o Join his patreon, you'll see all that.
Epic! Kansas City, Missouri is 2 1/2 hours from home, wish I had the time to drive up...
Your intro almost has Phantom of the Opera feel. Love it.
It grew on me after a couple listens but I've always liked it when artists do what they want and explore different things
You are funny-ISH
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#.
Lovin the chords and then that drop beat... Cool tune! Great riff!
Coming to see you in February at Wembley!!!! Will the moustache be back by then? 😎 Really nice to see the subscription numbers increase every time I check out your channel. It’s lovely when good things happen to good people. Thanks for the laughs Justin 💚
He’s basically nailed it. Johnny Marr with his intricate rhythmic playing and great song writing. You can imagine that’s how Gallagher envisioned it. I do believe Justin watches these off the cuff. Well played. Nice to see him playing a man’s guitar 😘
09:29 Nice catch, it is actually Johnny Marr playing.
In love with that Custom! Justin, any chance of a current go to guitar video?
Big thumbs up. Tuning in, we benefit from a tune writing masterclass.
First listen, was stuck in my head, have listened to it dozens of times since and i think it's up there with his best solo work
Gorgeous with or without 'stache. Some of those chords & progressions remind me of Ten Years After for some reason..
Oh. I didn't realise it's gone.😅
"I'd Love to Change the World" perhaps?
@@lilmelvin11 Yeah!
@@user-bj2lu9qt3o me neither
Smashing work Justin.
Greetings from (D)Ipswich.
Y'know Justin Ive been rearanging my studio and iot looks damned nice in here now. I spend all my time in here writing and recrding tunes nobody hears, your the only person i even vaugely know of who i think would apreciate how good it is to have all the cables in their box and my wah wah waiting to be plaid. (I'm Scots so as you have a Scots member of your and i made that rather crude play on yer hat.) Safe travels matey.
He's notoriously critical of Noel and more team Liam but it seems he has lightened up a lot. He's genuinely excited. And a huge Oasis fan. Brilliant.
Kills me as I'm more Team Noel. Ballad Of The Mighty is the all time high for me.
Into to Don't Go Away is pure pentatonic scale. One of the first Oasis songs I learnt to play on electric.
Pretty much every oasis song is pentatonic
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!
@@ChainNonSmoker Tell Oasis that
Very cool to see you doing the vid with your Les Paul. Sounds like....Joy. Cheers!
I freaking LOVE this new song - total fan of Noel Gallaghers High Flying Birds
I do too just hoping that more people will realize soon 😊
I find them boring and shite
Never fails to amaze me how quickly Justin can pick out the chords to most songs. Well done, mate!
literally any vaguely talented musician can pick out (or play, or sing) chords to a fucking noel gallagher song, jesus christ
@@jemimallah2591 lol....I used to piss off my teenage daughter as she was a big Stereophonics fan (hey I like them too.) learning the riffs and chords on my guitar and playing along as she played it rather loudly in her bed room...I wasn't so cocky when she got into The Smiths...lol
Err. He can't work out the chord though. `It's an E7 with a G sharp in the bass . You're welcome
@@louiseliot6687 straight off ultimate guitar that
@@FC-gl4ul no its clearly a third in the bass chord sound
Justin!!! That third chord is an E with a G# in the bass! Hope you have a great fest and love your vids and everything you do. Cheers.
Being able to listen to music and pretty much directly apply it to an instrument is sexy as ham. I applaud you!
Remember watching you at iow festival in 2003... All Spandex and screaming, it was mad. Justin, you are truly amazing!
Watching Justin decide whether a melody is an ostinato or a pedal has become one of my most amusing segments of each episode
whenever I hear a Gallagher song I like to play a little game called "where'd they steal this riff from"
Radiohead"s Creep is stolen from the Hollies.Only Noel and Kurt Cobain were honest about it.
And Nirvana’s iconic riff from come as you are was “borrowed” from The Killing Jokes song 80’s 😅
@@moonmonkey71 Yep.The list goes on and on.
Oasis got the riff for "Cigarettes & Alcohol" from "Get It On" or "Bang A Gong"(USA) from Marc Bolan and T-Rex.
Oasis ‘borrowed’ from T-Rex, Thunderclap Newman, Beatles but they actually blatantly plagiarised the Stereophonics in my opinion. The riff to The Hindu Times was identical to Same Size Feet from the Stereophonic’s debut album.
The snark you always pull off about Noel is absolutely brilliant! I knew from the moment I saw this, you'd get the Whitesnake jibe in there once again too. (Not going to mention the Johnny Marr stuff, as if you didn't know you cheeky geet)
I love this channel, the music knowledge is never boring. But most of all I love watching you try to pretend to be nice whilst grimacing 😂
Justin Hawkins talking about Noel Gallagher. Once again 2 of my favourite bands /artists come into contact. Was happy to hear Justin discuss Placebo too
Babyface Justin is back! You look great. RIP tash.
RIP Tash, gone but not forgotten.
Miss you big man
Great review Justin!!, I liked it too when I reacted to it!!
Justin! Do a rig rundown of your studio setup! Pretty pleaaaaaaase! (With an entire glacé cherry on top!)
Totally agree - they did some great songs, but Supersonic is the benchmark! For all artists, that is!
😂
Supersonic is their best song imo. That's not necessarily to say Oasis' best music was all back in the Brit pop era. I think some of the songs on their last album were amongst the best they've ever done.
Im a huge oasis fan, and like Liam and Noels solo work but this tune just didn't cut it for me.
It sounds better when you play it Justin.
G sharp half diminished!! Love your work
This is the guitar Justin, love it when you use it in the videos 🎸
The first two High Flying Birds albums are incredible. Who Built The Moon was good and then the odd decent track from the recent EPs. Still brilliant live and he's got a great band around him.
The chord progression reminds me a lot of The Cure’s “A Forest” would you agree Justin?
Not really, it's more the rhythm
I love Pretty Boy!
And i enjoy listening to a cover of sorts of the song
Greetings and salutations to the upper lip! I do enjoy the High Flying Birds, not my favourite of theirs, it just kind of goes on a bit, but there’s a solid minute where I’m transported back to the 90s. I appreciate how Noel’s music often manages to make it feel like you’ve always known the song, without it sounding like a rehash of something else. Damon Albarn has that knack too.
I remember Noel being rather complimentary towards the Darkness at times. I remember him saying that Love is only a feeling was the best song released that year. And that the Darkness was cool because you were breaking all the rules and didn't care!!
I had no idea who Justin Hawkins was until Taylor Hawkins Tribute concert. Ima former musician and I gotta say his voice is absolutely amazing he sounded like Freddie Mercury when he sang that little bit with guitar in the beginning of this video He should be the singer of Queen I’ve never heard someone sound like Freddie if my eyes were closed I would’ve thought it was Freddie. With a voice like that he should be much more well known it’s rare when someone can sing like that.
Check out their song Black Shuck...
Check out whole The Darkness Catalogue . Absolutely not a dull moment on any albums. Cheers.
I’ve known of Justin and the rest of The Darkness since they started out but didn’t realise just how good he is until the Taylor Hawkins tribute concert. He was a standout performer that day amongst a lot of great performances and musical legends.
I agree with what you said about the Supersonic riff as being the pinnacle and with his new stuff he definitely could add his sound in there! Good stuff Justin and since I’ve had kids and I see the darkness now I always feel the need to sing SPEEEEDDDDYY!!! 😂 IYKYK!
Hats off to you JH.....for gracefully rolling this song in glitter.
I love Oasis, but if Noel realeased any of the post Oasis music without having been in Oasis it would be ignored.
Same could be said for Liam I guess
@@paulharrysadventures4050
For the most part. I actually liked "For what it's worth", but that arguably has derivative elements of Oasis songs, so it may not stand on its on two feet depending on your view.
This song sounds really familiar to something I have already heard, and it isn't really anything outside the box. It is odd that people think it is so unique.
The Forrest by the Cure
Missouri?? Here now, just up the road from us. Welcome to the midwest USA, Justin!
I don’t know how I’ve found your channel, but I really like it! Cool hat too! 😉😂
Justin, check out Weyes Blood, she's bloody marvellous. New song Grapevine or Andromeda. Think you'll love both. Modern day Karen Carpenter.
Noel's hairline for a man in his mid 50s is insane
Justin, you are in a very balanced mode here, great vibes, made my day, cheers from NYC. This snippet is both cute and hilarious at the same time. Serge
Looking fabulous Justin. Loving no tash and your hippy top! X
"Harry Styles" - literally the first thing I thought of as soon as the first few notes kicked off.
It’s truly great to see a musician go solo after being in a huge band & write/play exactly what they want. Good on Noel
Very John Lennon, one might say.
John Lennon and Gallagher were both twats
I’ve met Noel, I like him but most of his songs are clever copies, having said that lots of songs are in that format. As a guitarist myself I come up with ideas then go searching for it, usually find it’s from some 70s band that I’ve never heard of.
@@hardlines2635 I wouldn’t go as far as most are copies but I do believe he’s very inspired & obviously listens great music which will results in something similar. Can’t knock Noel’s melody writing though, he’s one of the best
@@LoveGuitar63277 Or Paul McCartney one might say
Mr. Hawkins
Missouri Is Pronounced Misery*.
It’s Good To See You. Have A Great Show!
The tritone interval is very instable. However never considered to be the devils interval.
It later popularized by Metal Bands and as their promotion they claimed it as such.
The interval was often used in classical music which was fairly contemporary back then.
Played for people in power. And they loved it.
I'm a big oasis fan but controversially prefer Noels solo stuff to oasis and have no want for them to get back together I'm really enjoying how he's changing as an artist with every track
Who built the moon was better than anything Oasis put out since Definitely maybe and the early B-sides
Same here. Saw High Flying Birds live and thought they were miles better than Oasis. Never liked Liam's voice. Noel's a better singer and front man, as far as I am concerned. I think Oasis would have been vastly improved with Noel as front man.
Completely agree tbh
The dying of the light is as good as any of the best oasis songs and better than most songs ever written by anyone else whose name isn't Lennon, McCartney or Cobain
Me too!
Noel is a genius.
loved "setting sun" & "let forever be" back when..
Something is different! 🥸 love it! ❤️
Justin needs to be recognised fully for his universal appeal. I’m thinking his own show in the same vein as this wonderful CZcams contribution. BBC 2 or channel 4 would suffice. Jules Holland ain’t getting any younger and I’m beginning to panic 😅
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.
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.
@@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.
Just when I thought my YT subs list was way too big, and that I should cease and desist, along comes Justin Hawkins Rides Again ! Bravo Sir !!
You look great with or without your moustache, and clearly that Razorlight analysis had you thinking. Love your guitar, the Smiths influence, but always a Blur fan. Good luck with Thundergong 🤘
The most tragic thing about them Gallagher boys is that they would sing together so good right now! There’s that magic sibling harmony they’re robbing the world of 😢
Indeed... well said
Your absolutely right. The World needs that right now. Maybe they will soon. We never know.
Absolutely! What a great loss, let's hope they patch things up, it's so sad when brothers fall out.
There will be a reunion, definitely
Maybe
Pretty sure Johnny Marr actually is playing that guitar bit
Oh hey! Welcome to my neck of the woods in Kansas City! Thundergong is a great time and great charity event and I'm happy to you and your brother are on the lineup! Be sure to have some BBQ while you are here.
Ha ha - the characters you couldn't recognize are Korean. The user's name is (roughly) "Buckee". I, too, am addicted to your channel. Keep up the good work!
Noel commented on the Harry Styles hit as something he could have written in 10 minutes. Looks like he is chasing that sentiment now.
Maybe Noel was implying he writes his own songs faster than 10 mins and Styles is taking too long over it. 😂😂
There was me thinking Noel wrote all his songs in ten minutes.at least this doesn't appear to have "sunsheeiine" in it.😁
Lol so true
