I’ve accidentally got an insane wall of sound on my first ever demo, I used a an acoustic guitar, open chords on electric and power chords on electric recorded mono on audacity. It still sounds huge just a shame I can’t sing 😂

James, thank you so much for making this video, it’s really helped me in my band for how to have an Oasis sound with me and the other guitarist doing a Noel and Bonehead style rhythm guitar parts and then I play the solos with only the barre chords playing during that

This isn’t advice from Oasis or Oasis engineers but you might like to use a graphic EQ like the API 560 (analogue or vst) and isolate and boost the real schexy frequencies of the tambourine track. I just remember Oasis’ tambourines sounding much more lush, if they were this true to the sound they probably used mic proximity to capture the right frequencies also. Great breakdown, how intriguing, thanks James. *applies 5 layers of guitars; panned, played, voiced and picked up differently*

Very inspiring mate, got about 13 or so tunes recorded by now, the current tracks guitar parts just need some texturing to really make them punch, at the minute it kind of just sounds like two guitars fighting against each other, this has given me the inspiration I needed to really make the tune pop. Thanks man!!

Thanks so much HEC Me neither! I'm hoping to be able to get the CD mastered, printed and available a bit faster and a bit more streamlined than the last one, as I actually know what I'm doing this time round! I'm also researching vinyl, but apparently many UK vinyl factories are experiencing massive delays due to high demand, so I'll have to play that one by ear Fun times...

Nicely done. I used a lot of these techniques when I used to write music for a living in my studio but not the single note guitar approach which is very cool. I’ve been re-listening to Be Here Now and realised what undermined that record was the absurd amount of overdubbed guitars that really derailed the mix. On some of the songs Alan white sounds like he’s playing on cardboard boxes because there’s just no space left to hear the drums. In hindsight I tend to agree with Liam Gallager that it is a good record with some great songs but it’s desperately in need of some trimming and pruning to let them shine through. That and cutting about four minutes off most of the songs... 😏

James, in terms of guitar type, what do you recommend to get that kind of sound? Humbucker, single coils? Semi hollow, solid, LP, strat, tele, ... Which is more versatile for this style? Or you use anything as long as you use the right amp settings and effects?

James, what specs did you chose for your studio computer? Did you buy latest powerful RTX graphics card? Processor? How much RAM? I've had the same idea for a couple of years, to buy a powerful gaming computer mainly for the music. I easily have the budget, but I'm cheap, feel like I'm wasting money and debating with myself if I'm aiming too high specs wise, if I really need that much power. I'm thinking RTX 3070. Thanks for awesome vids and inspiration!

You certainly have to buy one first, then just watch some youtube tutorials, try learning music you like and that's it. You will have to learn some basic techniques, then just study tabs for your favourite songs. And bit by bit you are there

Back in the 90s, guitar magazine ran endless pieces akin to this one, and they never captured the magic. There was something special about Oasis, something that was greater than the sum of the parts, and I have to think that since it disappeared when Bonehead and Guiggs left, it was, somehow, coming from them.
