Top 10 Blur Riffs
Рет қаралды 310,862
Күн бұрынI saw an interview with Graham Coxon talking about how the trick to playing Song 2 is to play it really 'badly'. Would Graham mind if I played a few bum notes in some of his other songs too? Does music always have to be perfect? Here's my 'Top 10' Blur riffs. Feel free to recommend a few others in the comments below.

Coffee & TV is the definition of a killer riff. The little bend is flawless. And while everyone else was jamming Song 2, Beetlebum was the track I was amazed by. Well done.

It’s the difference between technical ability and creativity. He isn’t the most technically gifted by any stretch but he came up with riffs, progressions and solos that no one else would ever have come up with. That’s what makes him great.

Fun fact. Especially Liam Gallagher like to brag about Morning Glory selling many more copies than The great escape. Well Damon Albarn's work (Blur, Gorillaz and solo) has more listeners on Spotify than Liam Noel and Oasis combined now! And Morning Glory sold roughly 6 times more than the great escape but now the ratio is very roughly 2:1 on Spotify in Oasis favour (vs Blur only) and that's quite remarkable since Blur haven't really been fronting their music like Liam and Noel has . Great Video and great playing!
