Kudos to you for doing all that on an acoustic. No hiding behind or obsessing over effects pedals.

Awesome, James! Would love to see a part 2 going over his different tones and throughout the albums. Cheers!

Hi guys - just to be clear, this is a BASIC introduction. If you would like to see some more advanced Squire stuff, check out the following links: Me playing the 'Breaking Into Heaven' solo - kzread.info/dash/bejne/rKOFy8uoZ6qWotY.html Me playing the 'I Am The Resurrection' solo - kzread.info/dash/bejne/mmF3k65tla_bg7A.html Me playing the 'Love Is The Law' (Seahorses) solo - kzread.info/dash/bejne/iaN8lsuGeKiYYps.html Also, just to clarify, I used G, C, D & a capo primarily for illustrative purposes. While he did use the capo alot, he didn't strictly stick to the same G, C & D chord shapes - I just used them primarily to show the 1, 4 and 5 chord types clearly.

I've got a story about my first debut album I made at college! I remember going into college wanting to create a stone roses like album and I came up with the unique chorus bright jangly sound and it felt amazing! I made the songs and was so happy with it. like you way with the chords I practically did the same thing! for one of the songs with the sound I remember my teacher tried editing it but when I played it back the chorus bright sound was gone and i didn't like the change so I mixed it myself and got the sound back it's so beautiful and my absolute favourite

Very useful.

Nice watch man though I’m surprised you didn’t mention Squire’s ‘favourite chord’. Or at least one he leans on a lot which is the open position D5. He plays a lot in and around the edges of that on this record. Waterfall and This is The One being the main examples. I’ve always thought if there’s a tangible chord or technique that defines this record it’s improvising around that chord. Just my take,

This... I've never seen that interview and have lived my life desperate to know who wrote the lyrics to both the album's... It's crazy how little info there is on it... The first album's lyrics are so incredibly singular, really intelligent, grown up and ethereal... The second album's lyrics are very different, far less imaginative and not particularly original, though this fits the more traditional heavier rock sound they achieve on that album, then we have the seahorses and solo stuff and listening to Ian's output I came to the conclusion that he couldn't have written much of the first album as his solo lyrics are, to me, basic as hell, no way he could have written the poetic stuff on that album... That said as time went on Johns lyrics also devolved into rock cliche, culminating for both in the aberrations of the reformed roses two singles which were disgraceful, lyrically speaking... Don't get me wrong I'm a devotee of the lads, I love both albums and bits of their other stuff but the mystery of their forever declining lyrical skills is a case I've been trying to crack since 95... That first album is unbelievably brilliant

Waterfall was way off , it uses a similar riff to a lot of byrds songs like turn turn turn , but I get that this is for easy guitar

All excellent but I would have liked it if you played the actual riffs. But a big thank you

I think John Squires guitar sounded better in the 1990 era.

You’re only looking at the chords, not the lead guitar and bass and the songs were never written to be strummed on a guitar

Or… no capo and just tune the entire guitar to the right pitch

I don't rate him tbh.
