Oasis - The Importance Of Being Idle - Rhythm Guitar Lesson / Tutorial

In this I show:
a play through of the main parts;
alternative ways to play the intro;
each part slowed down from two angles;
all chords tabbed out.
About the intro - the E chord is more percussive than chordal and doesn't really have a fixed tonality so chords E minor, E major and E7 all seem to work .... have a listen and take your pick.

I hope you enjoy it and find it useful.

ps

I first learned this song to teach it to my grandson ... see his recording here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfielIuR-6U.

This is for him and all the great folk at justinguitar and vanderbilly.

Recorded on 06 June 2010. Equipment: Yamaha FG-332, Samson Q1U, Samsung laptop, Reaper.

@fitzerelli1 Hey - thanks very much I'm glad it helped you ... about the talking ... mmm, I'm a bit shy I guess!

[dumapies]

what do you think about the microphone?

[MrClose2u]

@dumapies For a cheap and cheerful way to record it's okay. I get a bit of background hiss but I've now learned how to reduce that in Reaper. No doubt a DAW and a better mic would see better results. BUt this works as a budget method of recording. Make sure you adjust the input volume levels on your PC.

How does the guitar play?v(FG332) I have the opportunity to buy one (which is how i came across your videos) It sounds really nice! Hows the action? That's pretty important and hard to judge anything but in person, so i guess asking you may be helpful?

Thanks a lot and nice playing!

@torbjorn66 I've had my Yamaha FG for over 25 years and it sounds sweeter than ever ... always been a joy to play ... I wouldn't sell it ... highly recommended
