Thanks to @andycrowley for being such a great guest. Check out the other video over on Andy's channel kzread.info/dash/bejne/ppyqk8uaaZrVaKg.html

The dream collaboration I want to see is Adrian and Eric Haugen. Two guys with incredible taste and chops when called for. They pick interesting artists and covers that no one else does. Make it happen, Adrian!

The only thing that has ever made me wish I was younger is the thought I could have got started on guitar with Adrian and Haugen's videos. I started playing in the late 90s and a Hendrix or Radiohead tab book plus what you could figure out by ear was the best you could do.I still love Hendrix but he just played the pentatonics insanley well and whats the point in paying a teacher to tell you 'do that but more better' . The guitarists that made me desperate to learn as a kid were (and still are) Rowland S. Howard, Marc Ribot, Robert Quine, David Rawlings (Also Snooks Eaglin but I'm still waiting for someone to do a video on him), everyone who ever played with Captain Beefheart and so and so on. As a kid I could never find a teacher who was interested in those kinds of players but thanks to the internet theres a wealth of access to teachers who are as passionate about them as you and I are (or maybe its just Eric and Adrian but thats all the more reason to be thankful for them!)

The Cocteau Twins lesson is getting ever closer 🤞🏻

Great fun filming with you Adrian! 🎸🤟

Slowdive stronger than ever nowadays. They finally got the recognition they deserved. When the Sun Hits 👌🏻

Wow! My two favourite online teachers talking about my favourite genre! Love it

Cool episode, thanks for making this Friday better!

Absolutely fascinating to see you interact with Andy. You're obviously such different guitarists and people, but with a shared interest in teaching and playing. I'm not familiar with Andy, but I can say that he brought out an Adrian we don't usually get to see. Thanks!

You never fail to surprise me, Adrian. As I said, I may not always have my guitar in front of me when I watch this and may not choose to follow step-by-step but I will ALWAYS look forward to Friday evenings because of this and will ALWAYS watch and listen to you.

Very interesting video, loved the interaction and thought processes. Sharing good info.

U2's first 5 albums are composed around harmonics and a little alternate tuning - and the use of harmonics here clearly show that the Edge was an inspiration for Slowdive when they were in their teens... They just took it to another level. Surprised Andy's list of "bands inspired by this" didn't include the Raveonettes - who admittedly chuck a good bit of surf into the mix. Surprised Adrian hasn't covered any of their material yet.

Drop d and turning that g flat is one of the most beautiful tunings I’ve ever played in. Also easy to tune to and works great for shoegaze. Think clementine by Elliot smith or out getting ribs by king krule.

I love Elliott, and Clementine is a great song to play.

Great stuff guys. Thanks for putting a simple approach to the music I've loved for so many years. The MBV outro was stellar would love to hear more of that. Also, Andy diving into M.O.R. by Blur was fun stuff.

So great to see you two together! A real treat.

Slowdive! Finally! Cheers to both of you. It's as magical as my last concert, which was Slowdive!

Nice to see you guys together!

Hi Adrian and Andy, great to see a collaboration vid. It's funny how things come up when you are exploring some different Sonic stuff. 😎 I'm putting together some "Shoegaze" and "Dirty Surf" effect chains in my GX-100, so this fits right into that. Cheers Pete

Great video guys!

I’ve been lucky enough to meet Christian Saville and have a few beers with the band…..he’s the guitar genius in the band

Very helpful, thanks for posting. I tuck my pick away the same as you do

Great to see you together 👍👌

Awesome to see a collab/guest! The first in the history of the channel? Diving into Shoegaze is extremely worthwhile - I've never really tried although I also enjoyed listening to the original late 80s/early 90s wave. So many neat little creative tricks to be discovered, that can easily be lifted into other genres, too.

Great video lads!

That was a treat

Halstead said in interview about band getting back together that even He didn’t even remember all his Slowdive settings and went down the YT rabbit hole for help

Finally!!! Let’s gooooo

Amazing that the both of you have never met! The Genie is definitely out of the bottle now, everyone is going to want more collaboration videos to come…Cheers!

Great stuff Thank you :)

Great collaboration video. You probably have your summer special video planned or even filmed, but if not let me throw in the suggestion of Simple Minds's Someone Somewhere in Summertime. I know it all got very bombastic stadium rock after Sparkle in the Rain but I always found their first half a dozen albums pretty varied and interesting. Charlie Burchill doesn't get mentioned all that often and he's got to be worth a look.

Please do swervedriver songs... ! Love those guys. Seen them twice in Aus and they fucking rock

5:49 omg yes please more shoegaze content adrian!

That Parannoul song is brilliant!

Still trying to figure out what guitar fx Slowdive used on machine gun - sounds like a phaser.

lol… Slowdive ? wow l didn’t think anyone would cover these guys!. Great stuff- maybe a bit of Ride next? Since Then is a personal favourite ( they did a live John Peel session of this which I had on a tape which broke☹️; it was messier than the recorded version and all the better for it).

Classic shoegaze. Shout out for Pale Saints.

Enjoyed that, 2 great youtubers, would like to see a collaboration with you and nico from deathraycat, punky psycho

a tutorial on how to play any they are gutting a body of water song would be awesome!

Check out alvvays song 'easier on your own?' for that mbv tremolo , warped record rhythm guitar sound with tons of reverb and delays.

Love Alvvays. Stumbled across them when their first album came out and their latest album was probably their best yet.

I wasn't familiar with this song, but it has a real Shadow of a Doubt by Sonic Youth kinda vibe, very nice

Thanks Andy and Adrian. Another good shoegaze ish band is Bdrmm, give it a try

Had a go at ‘Vapour trail’ and thought, “is that it?”

I am a fly on the wall.

An obvious dream guest would be JFM. But that's easy for me to say, as I won't be the fanboy sweating in front of him. Anyways, to begin with, why not collabs with other guitar youtubers similar to Andy - this one was fun, so just keep doing that. Any of the Britpop, Madchester, Power pop or Shoegaze era guitarists you could get on would be insanely cool. I bet a few of them are already aware of you given how many high quality tutorials you have put out over the years. Oh, leftfielder - maybe a funk episode with the dude from High Fade?

👏 Like deployed 👍 😎🎙🏎✅️

Would love to know what gear you use to record audio for your vids. Always learn something. Cheers !

I’m an old guy, I’m unfamiliar with this type of music. Shoegaze sounds like a player who can’t or won’t make eye contact with the audience. So far given what I’m hearing it’s just not very cool, but again I’m old.

@@michaelpond6386Shoegaze was the best thing to come out of the late-80s/early-90s era, but it was sort of under the radar. If you want to call everything post-70s as a rehash, then it’s a rehash of psychedelia crossed with garage and the more otherworldly side of English folk. NME aptly called My Bloody Valentine's music “pop songs with their backs broken” - pretty, wistful melodies swallowed in layers of fuzz and weird woozy noise. Also check out Ride, Chapterhouse, Lush, Swervedriver…

Shoegaze has absolutely nothing to do with being shy or not interacting with the audience. When you are running a bunch of effects petals and start to ride the groove of massive feedback and distortion and lose yourself a little in it. That is what that type of music is about old man.

I hate to be negative as I’m happy to see this collaboration but Andy annoys with how much he interrupts and talks over Adrian.

'shoegaze' was basically English bands trying to copy Sonic Youth, starting with their 'sister' album, then 'daydream nation'. Sonic Youth were the first to rearrange tunings and use fx to create symphonic sounds. Also Husker Du. As far as English bands, the Cocteau Twins and Durutti Column/Vini Riley, and of course Fripp, especially his Frippertronics era, esp Bowie's 'heroes'. Re shoegaze, people never refer to Moose or Pale Saints!
