I've always done the solo bit differently......yours is right. I've been a fan since 78. The music was groundbreaking, creative, innovative. It was amazing to hear the new music he was pioneering in those days.
If you watch Mcgeoch playing it live on this song, he switches the flanger off when he does the D to E barre chord bit. Then in the chorus, he switches it on and off to accent the high notes ,quite some tap dancing to perform live!
Great teacher - great song ! I saw John play this in 1981 at Torquay Town Hall and can't believe that 43 years later I can too now thanks this brilliant lesson!
great performance! I bought the record back in the day but to see the guitar parts performed like this really raises awareness of how excellent the guitarist was.
The more I watch your videos the more I think that your channel should receive a grant from the unesco: you are doing an excellent job in keeping alive great music that, generally speaking, does not receive the attention it deserves.
Flanger (like chorus) is just a very short modulated delay. "Manual" is delay time, "width" is how much the delay time is modulated, "speed" is how fast it is modulated, and "regen" is how much feedback there is. The difference between flange and chorus is that flange has a shorter delay time, and chorus usually doesn't have any feedback (and sometimes has multiple modulated delay lines). Vibrato is a short modulated delay, but there's no dry signal.
Wicked Adrian, For me this takes me back in⏳2 The double live' Nocturne` album & that seemingly never ending; Stravinsky`s-The Rite of Spring-At the start to it, which seems to go on forever before it finally ends & the crowd goes wild as Steven Severin`s super flanged bass kicks in/off the first tune Israel. I still listen the album now in the 🚘 occasionally(great night🌃time tunes) to drive 2 especially that opening track as well as live version 's of Spellbound & Happy House & many other classics. Great rhythms laid down by Budgie & it might surprise some of your subscribers to know that all the guitars are played by Robert Smith who was the Banshees guitarist at that time-83`ish Definitely check it out if you haven't heard it before~it's a great double live album~one for any collection & well worth a listen🔊 Anyway keep the interesting🎅tunes🌲a`coming🎶 And have a good weekend m8~😊
Yes, Nocturne is amazing, but Robert Smith (amazing and talented guitarist and songwriter) could still not fill those big boots left after they sacked John.
More Banshees? Why not indeed Mr Woodward. Thanks so much for this Adrian. I have set to work on this and the recent Arabian Knights offering. Challenging. rewarding, educational and fun all at once. What better excuse to wheel out that McGeoch tribute guitar once more.
Amazing track...thanks for this Adrian. Still proudly got my gold sleeved single, and have fond memories of them opening gigs with this haunting melody. Superb!
Another top lesson, you seem to pick some really cool songs in your tutoials, possibly the best range i've seen on youtube, john mcgeoch what a great guitarist, did some fantastic work in the bands he was in. A real sad loss. keep up the good work, what about some bunnymen.......
So I think I'm enchanted with your channel and your playing. I can't tell you how much I appreciate what you do and the songs you choose. I'm just a beginner but to find my favorite music and how to play it is totally amazing.
I am so delighted you posted this. i was going to request it! My favourite version is the Robert Smith playing of it on Nocturne where he stood in for McGeogh. I thought (will have to listen to it again) that he arpeggiates the top three strings once he has hit the chord in the chorus - my favourite bit! But of course, there is now nothing preventing me from doing so! Thanks so much! (and merry Christmas).
Your videos are great! I subbed from Hong Kong Garden a while back and have been watching ever since. I have recently focused on uploading covers from this era, so it is really refreshing to see guitar breakdowns like this on UA-cam. Keep up the awesome work, and Merry Christmas!

Thanks Adrian !!!! Love it ! Happy Christmas to you too !
Adrian- thank you so much for your channel and passion. I just discovered it, and as a beginner in my 50’s, I really appreciate the music choices you make! In addition, including all types of music helps us re-appreciate all different genres- I love it. However, punk and post punk especially are my favorites, and this beautiful rendition of Israel is great. Any chance of doing Spanish Bombs without a capo? I think The Clash did it without, but most videos make use of a capo and I want to do it in its original form. Anyway, thanks again from out here in the States!
This is a superb lesson and pretty much flawless. You clarified a couple of things for me in the guitar break that I thought I'd pretty much nailed - just goes to show that one should never be complacent and that somebody else might have a different and better take on what you think you already know. My McGeoch arsenal consists of a Marshall JVM 410c, a Roland JC-120, MXR flanger, MXR carbon copy delay and, as of this week, a 1977-vintage Yamaha SG-1000 in almost perfect condition. I haven't sorted any amp switching or flanger stand-mount adaptors yet. It's about time I set to work on sorting out the talent. :D
Another great track Adrian, brilliant !! Yes I love the MXR Flanger as well, it's very good for McGeoch tributes as well as Keith Levine, although he used The Electric Mistress
Hi Adrian, this might be off the beaten path but you are by far the best teacher on the web. I have been learning some classics and with 5 different teachers, all of their lessons are different! The song is "Give me three steps" by Lenard Skynard. I couldn't find it in your page. Do you have a lesson for this song? And if you don't, well I'd sure like to learn from the best! 😉 Love your work! So thorough!!
I should also say that you consistently do lessons on my favourite songs - lessons that no one else seems to do - The Cure, Joy Division, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Dead Kennedys. All we need now are some Talking Heads songs (not necessarily Psycho Killer). In fact, how about an introduction to slide guitar with The Big Country (More Songs About Buildings and Food, not the band)? Probably my favourite Talking Heads song.
Nailed it again Adrian! Great lesson of a fantastic song by a brilliant guitarist. I note that your recent McGeogh lesson is on the Eastwood website. Would you consider doing anything by Stuart Adamson or perhaps something from Jesus & Mary Chain? Anyway, I really look forward to Fridays to find out what your latest lessons is going to be. Keep up the good work and have a great Christmas 🎄
Hello Adrian and great rendition of another Banshees Classic. Wonderful job! On another note, John Valentine Carruthers was another of several Banshees musician/guitarist and was also very talented. When he played with them he had another great style that complemented them during his tenure. One album he worked on with them was TINDERBOX. If you get the chance perhaps you can do a lesson on a song from that album called LAND'S END. One of their best ( in my opinion) and reminds me very much of John McGeoch as well. Check it out and again love to see you do it.
Excellent lesson, I really like the little hammer on pull of lick, he does the same kind of thing on “Heavens inside” with generation X. Also reminds me of the little synth part from “dance yrself clean” by LCD sound system.
This Israel-ly good.
Me: "wow - finally a play in a day!"
Guitar break: "not so fast there, young fella"
Never thought of this as a Christmas song until you mentioned it, finally a Christmas song I can get behind!
I've always done the solo bit differently......yours is right. I've been a fan since 78. The music was groundbreaking, creative, innovative. It was amazing to hear the new music he was pioneering in those days.

Great teacher - great song ! I saw John play this in 1981 at Torquay Town Hall and can't believe that 43 years later I can too now thanks this brilliant lesson!
McGeoch is one of my favorite guitarists, love the flanger sound and that guitar is beautiful. Thank you for the tutorial!
MODEL THE GUITAR? FAN BOY
EASTWOOD SG1000 McGeoch
Wish I could hit “like” more than once. What a tune, what a lesson.
great performance! I bought the record back in the day but to see the guitar parts performed like this really raises awareness of how excellent the guitarist was.
I love you covering John brilliance, you serve his memory well, he was one of our greats.
Nice one Adrian 😎🎙🎸✅
Amen

Love these Banshees/ McGeoch videos 👏👏
Get those sleigh bells higher in the mix 😂 Great as always. I feel the Bailey's coming out.
And a pint of Xmas egg nog for me 👍
Guess what? I got a fever! And the only prescription.. is more sleighbell...
I can feel the falling snow in this tune!
Thank you to remember us how Mr McGeoch is a great rock guitarist !!! ;)
I absolutely love that tone.. Nailed it again! 👌🏼
You show how creative those musicians where . Thank you for delivering and presenting a break down of how it was achieved.
Fantastic work. That guy really was something special and original
What a tune. Nicely done, fella. McGeoch was underrated. Shot by Both Sides another classic .
Wicked Adrian,
For me this takes me back in⏳2 The double live' Nocturne` album & that seemingly never ending;
Stravinsky`s-The Rite of Spring-At the start to it, which seems to go on forever before it finally ends

Anyway keep the interesting🎅tunes🌲a`coming🎶
And have a good weekend m8~😊
Yes, Nocturne is amazing, but Robert Smith (amazing and talented guitarist and songwriter) could still not fill those big boots left after they sacked John.
@@JtotheP68 Yeah, he just basically just strums over it
One of my all time favourite songs. McGeoch classic. Beautiful Yamaha by the way
Alas...that's no Yamaha!
@@nostro1001 yes typed the reply mid video, still a very nice looking fiddle!
@@The_Macaroon All good it's an Eastwood John McGeoch tribute model...based on his SG Yamaha.
Yup, it does look rather sweet. 🎸🎸🎸
What a teacher. Absolutely awesome. Thanks Adrian for slowing down that spectacular McGeoch break.
More Banshees? Why not indeed Mr Woodward. Thanks so much for this Adrian. I have set to work on this and the recent Arabian Knights offering. Challenging. rewarding, educational and fun all at once. What better excuse to wheel out that McGeoch tribute guitar once more.
Because of this channel, I rediscovered so much music and awesome bands I've neglected over the years. Thanks, Adrian.
Amazing track...thanks for this Adrian. Still proudly got my gold sleeved single, and have fond memories of them opening gigs with this haunting melody. Superb!
Still got mine too!
Another top lesson, you seem to pick some really cool songs in your tutoials, possibly the best range i've seen on youtube, john mcgeoch what a great guitarist, did some fantastic work in the bands he was in. A real sad loss. keep up the good work, what about some bunnymen.......
Well said buddy, I like how Adrian picks some more obscure new wave tracks. Which suits me cause I was raised on punk, skinhead, oi and new wave
Good catch on the similarity with "Shine on you crazy diamond"!
So I think I'm enchanted with your channel and your playing. I can't tell you how much I appreciate what you do and the songs you choose. I'm just a beginner but to find my favorite music and how to play it is totally amazing.

Absolutely brilliant 👌
Great tribute to the legend that is John McGeoch, one of a kind lucky we had him at all
Finally I can figure out the hammering on lick he does. Thank you for showing me!
Thank you, this is one of my all time fav guitar parts by McGeoch.
Absolutely brilliant. You do McGeoch extremely well.
Just nailed it yet again. Thanks for sharing your excellent work.
What a fantastic job.
Your videos are great! I subbed from Hong Kong Garden a while back and have been watching ever since. I have recently focused on uploading covers from this era, so it is really refreshing to see guitar breakdowns like this on UA-cam. Keep up the awesome work, and Merry Christmas!
Thanks Adrian !!!! Love it ! Happy Christmas to you too !
Great going again, two thumbs up. I really like the live in Cologne 1981 version of this as well.
I think this is a better Xmas song than Mariah Carey’s...but only just! 😂😂

Thanks so much for actually doing songs I want to learn.
Love the bass in this song, too.
thank you Adrian for this early Christmas gift !!
I've improved so much thanks to these songs. Thank you :)

Excellent lesson, Adrian, and thanks for the Christmas gift!! Happy Crimbo, and Happy New Year to you and yours!! Stay safe!! Cheers, mate!! :)
Awesome! And what a tune
Yeah... great lesson. Love how you show us the gear too!
For such a sparse song it is incredibly dense with atmosphere.
Congrats on your channel! I'm a fan already. Thanks for putting this up
Another great track Adrian, brilliant !! Yes I love the MXR Flanger as well, it's very good for McGeoch tributes as well as Keith Levine, although he used The Electric Mistress
Yet another superb instructional video - thanks for putting out such consistently great content, Adrian!
My Bloody Valentine reminds me of Christmas. Just a thought.
Hi Adrian, this might be off the beaten path but you are by far the best teacher on the web. I have been learning some classics and with 5 different teachers, all of their lessons are different!

Love your work! So thorough!!
The sound of that fricking guitar! wow.... continues to amaze me. So John played harmonics!? I always thought they were single notes...
Seems like he played harmonics, but Robert Smith would play the notes with a D chord shape (sounds better that way when I play it)
Thanks a lot for all your work . Fantastic vidéos, Fantastic bands . Great job ! Cheers from France !
Great one and man you are right about that opening chord, it is magic.
If you watch Robert Smith playing this live, he swaps the harmonics for a D shape at the 7th then 14th fret. Presumably to keep the volume constant.
This is well bloody cool let anyone be honest about that and be in no doubt.
Magnificent McGeoch, Brilliant Adrian, Thank you
I should also say that you consistently do lessons on my favourite songs - lessons that no one else seems to do - The Cure, Joy Division, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Dead Kennedys.

Great backing track too. Excellent work again Adrian.
You bring a massive smile to my face. Awesome channel

John was a genious, thanks for sharing Adrian!
Love this stuff, it's great!!!!
top stuff, still got the original 12" for this, playing along now!!
Hello Adrian and great rendition of another Banshees Classic. Wonderful job! On another note, John Valentine Carruthers was another of several Banshees musician/guitarist and was also very talented.

Thanks Adrian Your The Man Simulated very precisely like the original song Riffs ,Thanks Mate Your The Best! 🤝😎🎸😁
McGeoch made the Banshees!
You’re awesome!! I’d love more siouxsie and the banshees tutorials, you’re great :)
Great McGeoch Tuto as usual Adrian!!
Man i really apreciate you mentioning the chord progression that goes behind, its nice to get at least a little bit of insight into the theory
Was wondering what pedals you use to get that sound?
Thank you so much for producing such a great, well thought out and explained video.
Thanks for explaining it so well. Always stumble on that hammer on-ish bit at 2.36 but hopefully get it sussed now
A proper SG, great tone just like studio track, well played!
Hey Adrian, can you please do a tutorial for twist - tones on tail?
as always Adrian, great cover.
Adrian you're so good. Thanx a lot!!!
Brilliant!!!
Thank you for the lesson I do appreciate well done
So amazing.... I like this one
Another great one, Adrian, thanks! :)
Have you ever mentioned what you use to program the drum parts of your backing tracks? They always sound great.
Thanks Adrian-great song. There is an awesome live recording of this song on UA-cam with Robert Smith on guitar!
Excellent lesson, I really like the little hammer on pull of lick, he does the same kind of thing on “Heavens inside” with generation X. Also reminds me of the little synth part from “dance yrself clean” by LCD sound system.
What is that pink floyd arpeggio chord? What song is that from? It's killing me!
Shine on You Crazy Diamond
Let's have it right. Adrian is the best tuition officer
Excellent video such a unique sound.
Awesome lesson! 🫶
This is one of my absolute favourite Siouxsie tracks...strike that... my favourite! Nice guitar, thought we would see that Shergold on this one.
Thank you for another great pickkkk!
Thanks Adrian
Really nice. I've been enjoying learning Arabian Knights, so this is next up
Awesome!
Awesome 👍 🤘🎸 my fav song by them. Your 👍🤘
Excellent as always, I have the same guitar. It’s superb.
Quality!
