So, from other posts here today - motivated me - Don’t Look Back in Anger - cover - Oasis; 1st pass 1 take, record while fishing for chords : ) lol!
I never looked at the song previously, but in my skimming through their stuff came across - so many, actually… just sort picked this one.
- On “Ultimate Guitar” lyrics and tabs… soooo many chords, trying to follow the orchestration - made me “dizzy”. Some chord changes were better than others, but just hit record and got what this is… likely to anyone else, might all sound alike, but not to me. But then, to piece together all the phrases in orchestration… don’t have that kind of time today.
So, thanks for the inspiration.
Came to mind today in this - wow, to be able to just “wing it” through a song like this - not that it’s any great work, but, personally, when a kid saw folks doing it and thought, “wow, what would it take?” : ) hahhh… - playing and not caring what others thought - allot! lol!
- Oh, that “rattling”, if hear it, is due to the capo on 3, and a shorter scale guitar - is a string buzzing against my finger at just the right angle, oh well.
Another great ‘winged’ interpretation. And the mindset to play and not care what others think is something I still need to work on!
I’m assuming that ‘just sort of picking this one’ while skimming through Oasis songs means that the original is not a song you are familiar with?
I’m always interested by things which seem such an integral part of popular culture in one country but have had no discernible impact elsewhere. In the last couple of years, the biggest commercial radio station in the UK- hits from 70s, 80s and 90s (essentially music for Gen X who haven’t moved on!)- complied a top 100 chart of the most streamed songs from those decades (I assume UK statistics only) and this was in the top 10, possibly top 5. Instantly recognisable, rarely ‘I’ve heard it but not sure who it is’, anthemic pub singalong. Not saying that it’s a great song but it is still popular almost 30 years later.
It’s evocative, and possibly emblematic, of a certain period in the 90s- although again this may be more relevant to certain generations and I’m offering the GenX viewpoint- which became known as Cool Britannia. The music charts were full of Britpop, the Blur vs Oasis ‘chart war’, Spice Girls, the Young British Artists movement (visual arts- Damien Hirst’s animals in formaldehyde), England hosting and getting to the semi finals of the Euros football (soccer) tournament, everything had a Union (Jack) flag on it, and reached it’s zenith when Tony Blair became prime minister, Labour ousting the Conservatives from government.
There was an extraordinary response to the announcement of Oasis reunion tour dates, not least because of the apparent demand for tickets, the hours people spent online only to be told they were bots and sent to the back of the queue again, and the duplicitousness of dynamic ticket pricing. But for the thousands of people who didn’t get tickets, a debate arose from the initial anger and disappointment - did anyone really want to pay hundreds of pounds to listen the band, or is there such a disillusionment with Brexit Britain that the nostalgia for Cool Britannia got everyone overexcited for 5 minutes.
