The closest we’ll get to having McGeoch sit down and teach us. Well done - absolutely stunning.

John McGeogh one of the most underrated guitarists ever ...Great sounds 👌

McGeoch such a brilliant artist. ages ahead of his time.

JUJU album is magical, i've always loved it

Man this is by far my favorite guitar channel on KZfaq. I consider myself an intermediate player, not interested in getting overly technical just wanna be able to play cool shit in genres I like (shoegaze, indie, britpop) and this channel has been consistently delivering for a long time

McGeoch was certainly a master. Him, Johnny Marr, and Will Sergeant I think were the most creative and unique of the era.

What an amazing riff! McGeoch was a Master

Wow. Another great post punk classic! I hope one day we will see some Echo and the Bunnymen early days lesson, like Show of strength of Heaven up here. Or Television - Friction.

I cannot play any kind of instruments and I do not understand anything about music composition… but i listen to your video as when a teacher is explaining a poem. And it is great…

Fantastic Adrian you have nailed it. Mcgeoch was a genius his riffs are legendary. Remember seeing the banshees at the barrowland Glasgow and the place going mental at this song. Great stuff keep up the good work.

You deserve a prize for providing tutorials on gems from the post-punk era! Brilliant and painstacking work!

Enjoyed this. John invented his own rules. I'm sure Geordie Walker and Mcgeoch followed each other's playing. Both very dark and inspiring 🌴

Absolutely magnificent! The 2:40s bit is imo the best part of the song, both on this video and on the original single release itself. Releases endorphins....It's sounds so dark, moody and foreboding!

Never got too far into 80s alternative but Peter Murphy, PIL, and Chameleons UK are personal favorites of mine. Only just today I heard McGeoch’s The Light Pours Out of Me - I had no idea all these years it was anyone’s but Peter Murphy’s. Then a quick look online and holy cow - this McGeoch guy did everything !?!? Hugely talented in my book, and all of you who already knew - you have my utmost respect.

The Yammy SG series were feckin phenomenal guitars! Absolutely beautiful instruments. ❤❤❤

Wonderful - cant believe how interesting your song selection is - most of my favourite songs. Excellent straight forward teaching and information - thanks so much.

Lovely video. You nailed his live tone. I have two original SG1000’s which I have used to play a few Mcgeoch covers on my channel if anyone’s interested. The original Yamaha SG’s are very heavy, better quality and have coil taps which is also a part of the sound.

Especially loved the magazine stuff, The Correct Use Of Soap was magic

Thank you for breaking down this brilliant part. I appreciate your time and mastery.

I've gone mad and bought a flanger and a delay because of this! I was lucky enough to see them twice on this tour as well. What a guitar player John was.

What a fantastic channel. You are so close to nailing it, very, very faithful, and clearly played by someone who adores JM's flair. Andy, a request; do Into The Light :)

That bridge section is so psychedelic!! Loved it ever since I heard it for the first time when I was like 13 y/o

Just goes to show, a man can never have too many guitars...great to see you back Adrian!

If anyone is deserving of this - it's you. This is the song that made me fall in love with the Banshees the first time I heard it on the radio. Essential of course to the McGeoch sound is the Roland JC120 amp. Wayne Hussey is a big fan of McGeoch - would love to see you do a 12-string video one day.

thank you for keeping his memory alive with such enthusiasm and talent. SATB has a big place in my heart and you are doing it great justice, cheers friend 🤙

I remember buying Juju from Our Price records in Victoria station in London, getting it home and playing it to death. Great work .

Great work as usual. McGeoch's solo in Permafrost is so perfect for the song and would to see your rendition of it.

Brilliant as ever, terrific rendition of the great McGeoch style. Please consider Cities In Dust and Christine for future episodes!?

Hup. . hup. . .hup hup Ho!!,. . . . . 'cryin' man , . . .what an excellent presentation and tribute to the man and his music and a lesson thrown in as well, so well done Sir, many thanks. 'Spellbound' would sound great on this too!!

And the hits just keep coming! This is one reason why you’re my favorite guitar channel

Thanks for this! Never expected to see a Siouxsie and the Banshees lesson on a 'guitar tutorial' type of channel. I've been learning the guitar for the past 20 years and there are two sides to my guitar brain - one side that tries to learn all the blues/jazz stuff (maj7 m7b5 chords, blues licks blah blah blah), and the other side that really loves stuff like Banshees and The Cure, which 'typical' or 'serious' guitarists frown upon because they are unorthodox, 'too simple' or 'rely on effects'. Thank you for showing that both worlds can meet on one KZfaq guitar channel. :)

Amazing tribute to J McG. Seemed strange hearing it without Siouxie.

I've never had the talent or discipline to work out this track. Thank you for taking the time to do this .

Superb ever considered doing Into the Light ?

Christmas is very slowly staging a hostile takeover of halloween in the background

Lovely stuff!! How about 'A Song From Under The Floorboards'?

Amazing! I'm a big admirer of McGeoch, but didn't have a clue on how to play what he did with the Banshees. Thanks so much!

Always thrilled to see more of John's work on this channel. Wouldn't mind seeing some of the late Stuart Adamson (Skids/Big Country) too now that you've got one of these, as he played an SG2000.

I love singing along to this. 😊

Great! The guitar playing of the original track is truely coming alive and I love Siouxsie Songs very much for their guitars, especially this one.

Great job!! Takes me back to Middle School in late 70's/Early 80's! Heavily influenced by punk/ new wave and post punk as I got older!! Love it and your great selections!!

Alright, I subscribed. I discovered this song just over a year ago and became fascinated with it. Played the bass part by ear and tried the guitar part by watching the live video but gave up. You making this video is so timely, and so instructional. Great stuff. And that is a beautiful Eastwood you have there.

This makes me melt.....

Really love the drums to this. I never heard this song before.

I noticed this guitar was released and now im sold.

John is a very creative guitar force forever 👌

Ridiculously brilliant!

Amazing,I think you're channeling the late great McGeoch.

Picked up the McGeoch in Green recently...... love it. Solid build and so wonderful to play. Would love to see you tackle Robin Simon’s playing on Ultravox’s System of Romance album. 😉

there is no way to describe my love for the guitar in this song. i am glad i came across this video. wonderfully done!

Excellent video! Great work and great execution!!

Oh my god, never clicked the thumbs up button so quickly in my life. Thank you so much.

Your videos are always so well presented, Adrian! Many thanks for again showcasing the talent that was John McGeogh. Juju is a flawless album &, in my opinion, McGeogh's creative highpoint. The Banshees were blessed with some innovative guitarists, notably the metallic-flanged offerings of John McKay (e.g. Placebo Effect), John McGeogh and John Valentine Carruthers (especially on Tinderbox (92 Degrees, Lands End etc)). Best wishes!

John McGeoch was The Man. Saw him up close many times. Innovative, creative and left field, but not so far removed from 'rock' that people couldn't relate to his craft. More please, Adrian. Permafrost next? The greatest guitar solo of all time. In my opinion....

Fantastic. Great playing and tutorial. Opened my mind to an awesome tune I wasn’t aware of. Downside is I’ve listened to it about 53 times in a row...

Bril again. Loving these mcgeoch vids

I love the SG, Stuart Adamson of the Skids and Big Country played them, I was big fan of Stuart. The Juju Album was one of my favorites of Souxsie and the Banchees. Thanks for putting these classic punk / post punk tutorials out there. Now I can try to play songs I tried to play when I was a teenager.

Adored Magazine in the day, not so keen on the Banshees but hearing this is amazing, maybe time to change my mind - very belatedly!

Beautifully done

Been GASsing for a McGeoch 1000 - originals are like very expensive hens teeth over here. Midge Ure played an SG1000 too in Rich Kids/early-Ultravox, and Stuart Adamson played an SG2000 (neckt-thru version of the 1000 - apparently John McG wasn't keen). Must be something about Scottish guitarists. Great video, great song choice. Can never, ever have enought McGeoch. How about "Motorcade" :)

Brilliant Adrian, John has been an influence on my playing since real life and I always have one of his in the repertoire, currently it's My Tulpa, Rhythm of Cruelty before that. It's really wonderful that you are keeping his legacy alive. 😎🎙🎸✅

Wonderful video. You nailed it. ❤

And u are fantastic teacher and supercomprehensive

Wow you nailed this. Gorgeous guitar too.

Stupid KZfaq never let me know this video was released. More great nerdy guitar appreciation of John McGeoch. Superb. Thanks Adrian.

I like the way you refer back to the LP. I have that LP, bought at the time.

Hey Adrian, thanks for posting this great Banshees tutorial, the pedal breakdown at the end is really helpful. I am a massive John McGeoch fan and would love to see some Magazine tutorials too please!!

Where else on KZfaq do you get very coolest indie stuff alongside cool folk finger style , blues. Jazz . Rockabilly etc etc ??? Nowhere, that,s where.

Such a delicious performance

Spectacular, mate - through and through - Nice to meet a fellow McGeoch fan. Well done! Would love to see your take on Monitor if you're looking for more excuses :) Cheers!

Fantastic tutorial! I'm waiting for Eastwood's copy of the Shergold Marathon six string bass to arrive. It's the instrument famously used by Peter Hook for much of Joy Division's "Closer" album and throughout his time in New Order. Would love some more JD tutorials for lead guitar 😃

Philadelphia or Model Worker from The Correct Use Of Soap would be great ones to demonstrate

always nice to see you play..cheers from México

Great video Adrian. Thanks.

Any chance you might do Israel by Siouxsie and the Banshees? Great channel, BTW! One of the best on KZfaq!!!

Thank you again, Adrian, for another masterful tutorial.👏

Great video, always top content, beautiful execution and explanation. MC Geoff is one underrated guitar player. Thank you 🙏

I’m still working on “Spellbound”, which you taught me. I can play it. Just not totally smoothly yet. So damn tricky.

Que hermoso sonido le sacaste a esa guitarra. Saludos desde argentina.

I love your channel, you explain things really well and even a mediocre guitarist like myself can follow what you're doing. I'm a really big McGeoch fan so I especially enjoyed this video as well as the Spellbound one. Don't know if you're aware of this but the Generation X song Heavens Inside features some classic McGeoch guitar work. Highly recommend giving that a listen. Keep up the great work.

Hi! Maybe you can do some stuff from The Fall like Muzorewi's Daughter. Thanks!

There there is from Hail to the thief. Great vid, Adrian. 👍

Another fantastic video.. Keep up the great work.

I've got a Yamaha SG1500 that I bought purely because of John McGeoch it's not my go to favourite guitar but I still love it, such an amazing guitarist and sadly died far too early :(, love the tone in Arabian Knights and think this sounded great, Permafrost,Motorcade and A Song From Under the Floorboards from his Magazine days are my favourites though.

What a great idea to remake that guitar Yamaha really missed out but these guys probably made a better version

What a song! What amazing playing! Amazing teacher!!! More 80s alternative please 🙏

A flawless rendition, Adrian! Hats off, if I had one😉

Nailed it. Great sound and fantastic lesson. Oh nice guitar too!

Splendid.

Great stuff. Amazing!!!!

Totally forgot about that fella, well done for reminding an old duffer about his youth ! Credit where it's due, you must be a freakish nerd to bottom some of this work! Well done

Thank you very much.

Great Idea Adrian! I also have an great deal of admiration for Mc Geoch. He is definitely an underrated guitar hero.. Those were Siouxie's best collaborative creative years when he was around... I never understood why Yamaha discontinued the product.. Good thing Eastwood carries on with the model.. Please keep doing more of that stuff :)

Cemetry gates would be a lovely tutorial. Nice bright acoustic tune.

Stuart Adamson got a great sound with the Yamaha when he played in The Skids. You may consider doing a lesson on playing "Into The Valley". With Big Country he played mostly Strats. His other guitarist in Big Country played a Yamaha. Thanks for the lesson and congrats on the nice new guitar! It's nice.

Another fantastic video, love it!

great lesson thanks

If it is as heavy as my Yamaha you are gonna put on some muscle!

Great video, no "fat". Well done young man. I was 31 when this came out, Loved Siouxsie & company... wondered if I was too old for "that sort of music" (decided no). Still love at geezer age of 70.

A very nicely done homage to Mr. McGeoch's work here; I'd have expected no less from you. I well remember buying 'Juju' when it first came out, largely because of his guitar work on it, and I was very impressed with how he'd grown. I hope I'm not putting this the wrong way, but the nod to Andy Summer's work in the Police was clearly evident on several tracks; rather than seeming derivative, I thought McGeoch had simply taken it in a different direction, and that this served the songs quite well. I recall playing this for all my friends at the time, but couldn't get any of them to appreciate it for its merits (had the same problem with Go4s work)...it's their loss...
