Graham’s great. I love the fact he’s so honest about himself, his ability and his creativity. He’s been part of a big, important band but you get the impression, if you didn’t know that, that he was just a guy that records records at home. And I like that. Good man
The guitar solo in You’re So Great is my favourite of all time. The whole recording is just phenomenal. It’s all cracks and distant and yearning and that solo comes in and just tears the heart right out of you. I always saw it as the prelude to Coffee and TV. Fuck Coxon is great.
Thanks for asking about the drums! I remember getting the ‘love travels..’ album when it came out thinking who is the drummer! He/she plays to the song better than anyone I’ve heard.. years later found out coxon did it all himself. Genius.
You're So Great was always one of my favorite Blur songs. I love how Coxon knows how to break out of the rules just ever so slightly to perk up the ear. Love hearing these songs in their raw form. Great interview by Andy as well.
He really is the guitar player who is closest to my heart. His playing doesn’t intimidate me. His style of playing is so approachable, intuitive and unpretentious. And yet so colourful, sonically interesting and at times highly energetic. Like Damon said when Graham left the band: We‘ll need like a dozen musicians to replace him.
In my 45 years I have four long established guitar heroes - Dave Gilmour, The Edge, Johnny Marr and Graham Coxon. All four are sonic visionaries, exceptionally talented and creative's to the core. Graham is a total legend.
I can name 20 songs Graham wrote and be able to him them too. He may not be as technically proficient as Clapton but hes a better songwriter, I can only him I shot the sheriff and Layla.
Louis Batsford Bob Marley wrote I Shot the Sheriff btw! 🙄 Your opinion probably says more about your hero worship/fanboyism of Graham Coxon than the output of Eric Clapton to be perfectly honest. 😁 Here's one you can hum... ua-cam.com/video/8L82II1lNjo/v-deo.html How anybody not like this?
@@delakota555 I know Bob Marley wrote I shot the sheriff durrh? That's precisely my point he has to rely on other people's songs in order for people to hum them as his own aren't very hummable? And as for being a fanboy I'm more a fanboy of Rihanna
it's so crazy to hear the guy that literally made me obsessed with my guitar say that he really isn't very good at playing the guitar and probably not gunna get any better.. LOL, it's okay mate you're doin' juuuuuuuuuust fine. Gotta love Graham for that.
Graham has always been a big inspiration for myself, as a guitarist. He’s amazing, and I love how down to earth and genuine he is as well. People often don’t realise how much he carried Blur with his riffs and backing vocals, truly an incredible musician and I’m so glad he’s doing well now!
Honestly, I only got to know about him recently. The soundtrack of "The End of the F***ing World" was something that really got my attention, and I just thought it was background music in the show. I didn't know that songs like Bus Stop and Walking all day were actual SONGS written by someone called Graham coxon. These 2 songs were enough to make me wanna hear more from him. You're gold, Graham coxon, pure gold.
“Clover over Dover” came on my iTunes last night while I was driving home and I had to put it on repeat to admire the guitar playing again. This guy is legit!
AWESOME! I love Graham, my absolute favorite guitar(along with a few others)ever. The first 25 seconds of No Distance Left to Run still floors me every time I listen to it. Thanks Andy and Reverb.
Graham Coxon is definitely one of my greatest influences (the otherbeing Johnny Marr). Ever since Parklife came out in '94, there was no turning back for me. I don't know how I've only seen this video now.
He actually confirmed quite a bit of what I´ve been thinking about his working process. Honestly, I lost sight of Graham for a while and when I heard the soundtrack to TEOTFW, I was like, Whoa, dude now has about a dozen singing voices at hand. Yeah, he´s taking roles as a singer and he did fabulous with it. One thing, though- as much as I love this soundtrack I feel like it wasn´t that particularily well mastered. It appears a bit thin compared to other modern productions. That´s my only point of criticism about that one really. Go Graham!
The English Frusciante himself. Some man.... actually, how good would a Coxon/Frusciante collaboration be? The new Renbourn & Jansch... I'd buy a ticket.
Right? I think they sound so much alike for some reason... They both seem sensitive, creative and like their mood can be disturbed by the slightest thing
A live version of You're so Great...
Thank you Reverb, and of course thanks Graham
Truly, one of greatest blur's songs. Brilliant.
I know! I thought I'd never live to see it!
My favourite Blur tune by miles
Graham Coxon, Johnny Marr and Jonny Greenwood are tops in my book!
Graham Coxon, Johnny Marr, Jonny Greenwood and Edge in my book! :)
@@doneill5907 of course! If I gave it some thought my book would get pretty thick very quick. Lol
They're my top 3 too Derek, three inventive geniuses.
how about John Squire? i think he's doing great with The Stone Roses
I'd add Bernard Butler as well.
Graham’s great. I love the fact he’s so honest about himself, his ability and his creativity. He’s been part of a big, important band but you get the impression, if you didn’t know that, that he was just a guy that records records at home. And I like that. Good man
One of my biggest influences/inspirations.

this man deserves the world. he’s an absolute genius and so modest about it

One of the greatest moments of my life! Caught an awesome solo show from Graham later that day in Chicago.
AndyDemos I’m living vicariously through you!
Now you need to marry Louise Wener...
Actually really happy for you that you got to meet him.
Thanks for asking about the drums! I remember getting the ‘love travels..’ album when it came out thinking who is the drummer! He/she plays to the song better than anyone I’ve heard.. years later found out coxon did it all himself. Genius.
He thought of cars has some of the best guitar.
Lucky you!
im so mad no one would take me to see him :(( i was 17 at the time and the show was 18+
You're So Great was always one of my favorite Blur songs. I love how Coxon knows how to break out of the rules just ever so slightly to perk up the ear. Love hearing these songs in their raw form. Great interview by Andy as well.
My favourite guitarist, and the best from the britpop bands
He really is the guitar player who is closest to my heart. His playing doesn’t intimidate me. His style of playing is so approachable, intuitive and unpretentious. And yet so colourful, sonically interesting and at times highly energetic. Like Damon said when Graham left the band: We‘ll need like a dozen musicians to replace him.

the edge...chuckles...
@@kevinwillis6707 he’s a hack, a musical cheat but I do see why people like him
@@itsMrNoble Most successful guitarist of the last 40 years. Why does he cheat? Delay pedal? Well there are a lot of cheats of that's your criteria.
graham playing you're so great made my year
Coxon: "I'll never be as good as Eric Clapton".
Me: "I'll never be as good as Graham Coxon".
Ignacio Carral I’ll take this guy’s melodies anytime over anything Clapton. Just saying.
I can name 20 songs Graham wrote and be able to him them too. He may not be as technically proficient as Clapton but hes a better songwriter, I can only him I shot the sheriff and Layla.
@@louisbatsford8908 how about tears in heaven?
Louis Batsford Bob Marley wrote I Shot the Sheriff btw! 🙄
Your opinion probably says more about your hero worship/fanboyism of Graham Coxon than the output of Eric Clapton to be perfectly honest. 😁
Here's one you can hum...

His voice and Damon's are quite similar! I love his voice! And of course his playing is excellent (just so tasteful!)

Jin J 😬
And now we have a descent live footage of "you are so great", my all time favorite Blur song. Finally ❤️
I can't go a single day without watching this. Graham is so great and I love him. 🤠❤
his guitar work for blur is amazing. wonderful guitar player!
Love his work on End of the F****** World.
Check out Blur. U'll love it
Try 'Modern Life is Rubbish'
AWESOME! I love Graham, my absolute favorite guitar(along with a few others)ever. The first 25 seconds of No Distance Left to Run still floors me every time I listen to it. Thanks Andy and Reverb.
One of my favourite people in music ever!!!!
Thanks for everything you gave us, Graham. Much love from Brazil. FLUMINENSE FC!
@maripicelli opa! O Brasil também ama o Blur, com certeza! Grande abraço!
"You're So Great" !!! First song I learned on guitar
Best 1/4 of an hour I’ve spent on UA-cam 😊
holy shit! you guys did a video with graham! best guitarist alive imo
My god I hope Andy got to meet him...
He did! All is good with the world.
Hope they play together...
Thank you Reverb for another meeting with mr. Coxon.
Love Graham Coxon. Underrated guitarist of the 90s
Graham Coxon is definitely one of my greatest influences (the otherbeing Johnny Marr). Ever since Parklife came out in '94, there was no turning back for me.
I don't know how I've only seen this video now.

Oh how much I’ve missed you playing a Martin
We met at NAMM and it took me right back to my childhood. What a legend and true inspiration. Thank you Graham!
Good to see graham back...i love hearing him talk as much as i do hearing him play ..
'ill be thinking about these words forever' great hook
What a wonderful person. So inspirational
"...cus you're so great, and I love you"
Es tan talentoso, gran compositor y letristas, tiene una hermosa voz y a demás es tan lindo él!
He scored end of the f-ing world?! Cool!!! What a great score!
saw Graham at August Hall, SF last September. If there were any mistakes Graham made that night, they blended...indiscernibly. Thanks Andy & Graham !
Por qué lo amo tanto? Espero conocerlo en algún momento 😭😭😭
that second song really got me
“Don’t Believe Anything I Say” from Love Travels at Illegal Speeds
Yeah me too. Great raw stuff.
Daamn the strumming patterns are so complicated, yet sounds so neat 😣
Complicated?
@@guitaristssuck8979 well it's not really all the same, I just couldn't imagine myself reproducing some parts of it... maybe I should just try
@@letiziadesio615 he strums according to the vocal melody
Amazing! Andy so glad you got to meet him. Graham is great!
perfect for friday night !!!
thanks reverb and master Andy !!
Graham is so great！
I believe anything that comment says
My boy looking JUICY
What the hell is that supposed to mean
Is it just me or is the chord arrangement for that outro utter utter genius?
Very cool. Good interview great to hear him explain things in his own words
Great interview, so interesting and nice! Also, he really seems comfortable talking with you :)
This man saved my life once.
Pure talent. I love Graham
Andy was in complete awe. You love to see it hahaha
Well this brightened my Thursday 😊
I need this you're so great version
You're so great always gets me cry
I wish Andy joined Coxon playing the kazoo solo (?!) on You're so great hahahaha
Two of my favourite songs and a great interview. Thank you
love you graham!
Love Coxon. Superb musician. Love his singing.
Really adore this man
Criminally underrated guitarist and songwriter
And yet, he does look a lot like Clapton these days.
A great guitar player and composer.
Love him.
The English Frusciante himself. Some man.... actually, how good would a Coxon/Frusciante collaboration be? The new Renbourn & Jansch... I'd buy a ticket.
yep, crazy they never did anything together
Right? I think they sound so much alike for some reason... They both seem sensitive, creative and like their mood can be disturbed by the slightest thing
There’s a thing. And whatever it is, he has it.
This video is an awesome birthday present!
God, thanks for Graham 💛
This is like Hendrix interviewing Billy Bragg!! Coxon mustve been embarrassed getting a guitar out in front of that interviewer!
Youre so great graham!
Tea tea and coffee ❤️
And don't believe anything i say was great too
Not Anymore Titty and Coffee was even better.
@@robertjameson2749 you got a point there
Even though they worked closely together, Graham's songs are so different to Damon's songs.
Damon always preferred pop over the rock and graham the opposite
You’re so great and i love you !!
Love that guy!
didn't know that Guitar Demo God also does interviews now.
Qué capo el Graham!
Love Graham
Does someone recognize which guitar is it? sounds great..
Big up for the Hawley Arms
2:15 lo amo.
Note to self, u87's pick up stubble scratching well.
Coxon Rules, Clapton drools.
Dear reverb, what acoustic is that? Looks like an fg180, sounds like a Martin.
BEST daam song yo start
simple is not easy to achieve
andy looks happy
Dude turned me on to Mission of Burma.. Who would of thunk?
that man's my life
wtf i was listening to "youre so great" just before i clicked the video
What acoustic guitar is he using? A Taylor?
i got graham’s first solo
album years ago ....was decent.. a lil dark
he's kinda ripped? unexpected? such a role model
And a swole model, evidently.
😳😳
