Thanks!!!
I put a full in-depth lesson version at my main lesson website:
This thumbnail took me out man 😂
Noel Gallagher's whole thing is writing songs with chord patterns that look simple but are loaded with sophisticated melodic stuff. The man is famous for a reason.
Why is wonderwall a joke? Thays songs badasss as well as several other oasis songs. 🤷
Tired of Wonderwall being dissed, let people in general like it again
I had to do 3 hour sets with an 80s cover band and was surprised to learn the delicate nuances of many songs I thought were much simpler. This includes rhythm, feel, chord changes, odd measures, parts I didn't originally notice, etc. A lot more complicated than expected
I don’t understand how anyone could think it was played the way your student was playing it. It sounded nothing like it.
ugh this comment section.....not liking a popular band doesnt make you cool.
Yeah I played this correctly right off the bat, but that’s because I started out on drums and these rhythmic subtleties are what it’s all about. Just don’t ask me to play any leads!
I’m confused. I can play the song pretty close to the record and you say there’s no stops but I can literally see your strumming hand lag and not go fully up. You’re stopping your upstrum, which is counterintuitive because you’re also saying do not stop your strumming hand.
This gets into the "feel" of a song. For example, 'every rose has its thorn' from poison is easy in terms of chords but if you listen carefully and try to mimic exactly what's happening on the recording the rhythmic strums are very "free flowing". Your point about a "hidden" melody in wonderwall is key.
Mike this was probably the coolest dissection of a guitar riff you or anybody has done. I'm a bass player who tries to play guitar and any time I ever strummed a riff it would sound like your student did. However laying out the strum pattern with directional arrows would obviously help anyone. Then placing where the accents would go even cooler. The ghost melody I always heard in Wonderwall, but I thought it was a layered second guitar part. That is until you played it. Great video Mike.
Just proof that "feel" can be documented and taught. Great job teacher!
If you watch Noel live he does the A7sus4 with all four fingers, so he frets the 2nd fret G-string (from the capo), but on the recording you can hear the open G-string pretty well, so I've always played it with the three fingered version not fretting the G-string.
The thing about "Wonderwall" is that it's the perfect strumming song. Most people think they can play it, but they can't.
Mike, as a guitar teacher I've had to explain this to so many of my students. Because the meme of the song has really made it seem like an easy song, but in reality the rhythm is a lot more complicated and flavourful. Thanks for making this video.
Mock it as people do it's a classic tune. I love it, It's really quite a nostalgic song for me. It's a funny coincidence I was actually watching a countdown type show of songs that came out in 1995 on TV last night. 🙂I can really hear the difference when you played it correctly. I listened to it so much back in the day so my ear knows what it sounds like.
In learning "Here Comes the Sun," my favorite Beatles song, I learned that George does the same up and down motion when playing. Makes the song very different if you aren't used to that.
I've only been playing guitar for about 4 years and learning just one song...Wonderwall...has helped the playing of other songs because of the unique strumming pattern, the fast chord changes and the accent placement. I return to this song frequently because it is a skill builder and just fun to play. There is reason why this song is so 'popular'. If you are not having fun with it...oh, you are!!! Fabulous!
You nailed it! People just strumming it like it's a folk pattern miss the nuance in the rhythm. You almost have to think of it as a snare drum pattern to play it correctly. Once you understand that, it IS an easy song to play, but the hardest part initially is understanding the strumming/rhythm pattern and how the nuances in that pattern affect the feel of the song.
