  • Woo-hoo, it's Blur! Andy put his guitar pedal prowess to work in our latest #PotentPairings video in which he goes for the iconic tone of Coxon, Albarn & Co. through a series of his favorite Blur jams. So pour yourself some "Coffee and TV" and let us know how we did at emulating these tones.

    I always categorize Blur as experimental/alternative band rather than Britpop, they are closer to Radiohead than Oasis, experimental wise.
    They are experimental like Radiohead but with Mod/Punk and British attitude/power.

    i've been really enjoying this series but instead of the usual request for sonic youth or mbv, i'd really like to see recreations of non-guitar instruments like synths or zither on guitar with modern pedals, or stuff that was recorded with studio tricks like robin guthrie's guitar on heaven or las vegas. i don't see enough appreciation for less traditional guitar sounds on here, and it'd be fantastic to see more content about guitarists who don't have well-documented rigs. it feels like i'm asking for a lot tbh but i think it'd make for really engaging content. again, love the work here, and super cool to see andy do one of these.
