In this video, Oasis's rhythm and lead guitar player Noel Gallagher discusses songwriting concepts on electric and acoustic guitar. Noel played lead guitar up until 2000, after which he shared both rhythm and lead with fellow band member Gem Archer. Songwriting on the guitar is an essential skill for most musicians and guitarists.
Songwriting is the creative process of crafting lyrics, melodies, and often musical arrangements to create a song. It involves combining words, emotions, and musical elements to convey a message, tell a story, or evoke certain feelings in the listener. Songwriting can be done by individual artists or collaborative teams and can encompass a wide range of genres and styles, including pop, rock, hip-hop, country, folk, and more.
The process of songwriting typically involves brainstorming ideas, developing a theme or concept, crafting lyrics that fit the chosen theme, creating a melody that complements the lyrics, and arranging instrumentation or musical accompaniment to enhance the overall sound of the song. Successful songwriting requires a balance between creativity and structure, as well as an understanding of musical theory, storytelling, and emotional expression.
Songwriters draw inspiration from various sources, such as personal experiences, emotions, current events, literature, and cultural influences. The goal of songwriting is to connect with listeners on an emotional level and create a memorable and impactful musical piece.

Yep
Pretty much a perfect song
And a b side
@@fuzzy1237 can only really say that about one of Noel’s lol
100% agree. One of the best songs he’s ever done.
@@Ethan-og4pf for sure
Noel may be one of the few musicians who is still passionate about his art who hasn't suffered from depression or died from drugs or complained about how hard life as a celebrity is lol
Haha this is a funny point but it’s also very true! Possibly the most well adjusted musician to celebrity life ever.
He did apparently have some kind of breakdown before sotg and gas panic was about his panic attacks - but yeah he seems still like a normal bloke
@@thesingingaccountant1 of course he had a rough time who didn't?! but he stayed focused and kept his shit together unfortunately there are a lot of stars who end up dead in the swimming pool or something lol
@@galagalaxia6286 yeah it was very minor for a rock star. I Love noel he's so interesting to listen to
Bob Dylan, and he's no Dylan
I'm 54 years old and I've been a fan of Noel since '94. Noel Gallagher is an absolute master of songwriting. From Live Forever to Easy Now, Noel is in a class all by himself. Hail to the Chief.
Couldn’t agree more!! 👌🏼 🎸
Totally agree, I’m 50 and a fan since the start, and for years until the present his critics bang on about the Beatles etc etc , he’s as good a songwriter as Lennon or Mccartney imo. I love the Beatles but oasis moved me more. And the music snobs still go on about all that, and still he doesn’t give a fk , and I love that.
@@nez9751 Noel gives zero fucks.
No doubt! He’s my fav all time and I’m a couple years younger than him.
@@jasonq111 good taste 👌🏼
These Noel Gallagher Meditation CDs are fookin mental
😂 😂 bruh
This elegant compilation of interviews with Noel Gallagher about the craft of songwriting is a real treat. It is hard to believe 'Live Forever' is 30 years old now and still sounding as exuberant as it did when I first heard it. And what's inspiring is to learn how competitive Noel Gallagher is about his vocation and wants to write songs as great as the ones "caught" by Bono or Chris Martin. Another interesting thing I learned is that Noel Gallagher cannot write anything good when he is sad! He leaves the angst-induced songwriting to Thom Yorke! Don't you think Noel is in the minority of creators with this mindset? Bono, in another video speaks about how depressed he was when he wrote 'With Or Without You.' And Bono speaks openly about the darkness that always engulfs him. Usually, an artist needs a lot of pain to generate anything that could make a big impact on the world. But, Noel is that rare exception! He has to be happy to write good songs! So, let's hope his beloved Manchester City keeps winning everything! And, regardless of how anyone ends up writing songs that become classics, we must realise that great songs, just like its creators get to live forever. (Thank you to the person or persons behind this UA-cam channel Music Matters for this inspiring video). 23 September 2023.
Noel is as good as it gets. Could have been a Beatle. He knew if he combined his songs with his charismatic brothers band and stuck together it would be huge. He casted a vision and then they did it bigger than they could fucking imagine.
Yeah it took off so quick as well. From the dole to Knebworth in a few short years 🎸
Overrated tea leaf. Horrible singing voice as well.
Just relistened to all of his oasis albums. Every one is a classic. How can 1 man produce so many bangers!!
Right? Gifted for sure
Because he stole chord progressions from old successful song that nobody owned or had copy right on and changed it to the ideas he had
@@Narrowboat.and.offgrid.livingthat's how a lot of music works....
@@Narrowboat.and.offgrid.livinghow many chord progressions do you think there are?
@@Narrowboat.and.offgrid.living chord progressions are public domain and not copyright-able. There are far too few usable chord progressions to have them be unique. That’s why the case against Ed Sheeran failed.
I really admire Noel’s passion for music and songwriting, and how he’s never been taught anything still amazes me.
Right?! Very bizarre but cool
Regardless of what some people say, Noel is a true prodigy, is not a normal thing to write tunes of Oasis' quality no matter if he ripped off T-Rex or The Beatles. Only a handful of people can do it like him and if it was that common (or easy), we would have even today songs of that calibre.
@@voidx6782 yeah exactly, anyone could try to rip the Beatles off, but it wouldn’t often end up as a classic
Well, Paul McCartney never learned musical theory before making it big with the Beatles.
@@schris3 correct!
A key distinction to make is that whilst Noel (and other pop songwriters) didn't formally study music, they all did informally. Noel spent years learning music by ear, figuring out chords, keys and scales. He just did it in his bedroom rather than in a classroom. Nobody is born with complete knowledge of the craft of songwriting, it has to be learnt and harnessed. And the craft element is probably more important. I'm a songwriter myself and whilst talent and inspiration are natural and very important, knowledge and skill on an instrument are necessary to be able to compose music. Just because Noel doesn't know the language of music theory (he actually does know a fair bit, if you dig around) that doesn't mean he doesn't understand musical composition because he obviously does.
There's a difference between knowledge and understanding.
A good video on this: 'How much music theory did The Beatles know?'
ua-cam.com/video/HmjRM3AziTY/v-deo.html
Yeah I really agree, great comment 👍🏼 I think generally since people prefer to program music now using a DAW there has been a decline in people spending the time to learn an instrument. It’s a craft and takes patience but leads to more creative output in my opinion. Expediency brought by technology isn’t always progressive. Would love to hear some of your songs, drop us a link if you can.

@@andrewkevinnewton a bold claim, but I respect it
@@andrewkevinnewtontotally, he's a very guarded person and also does not want to seem like a 'student' or a 'boffin' - he wants people to think he's just like them but the man has a fantastic understanding of music, maybe he can't write out every chord type etc but he's not illuterate
For some reason a comment Noel made right back in an early 90s interview came back to me recently and I realised for me it is the key to his genius.
He talked about being taken to see Manchester City at main road by his dad, who would then promptly disappear to the bar and leave him with his mates for ages.
He said he didn’t mind, because he was surrounded by good people who would sing their hearts out to either football chants of the day, or their favourite records that came over the stadium PA.
Think of that from the perspective of a young kid, he’s literally getting a psychological masterclass in what makes people want to sing their hearts out and that’s why, love them or hate them, Oasis set was full of stadium-filling mega tunes.. it’s in his DNA.
Interesting point! I guess oasis was ultimately a product of their dad’s alcoholism ha
The interviews i am watching of Noel's lately are some of the best interesting music interviews i have ever seen
Yeah I watched a lot when making this video and he’s always interesting
This is really well done, great video!

Great artist and I love his honesty on musical theory. I play a few chords, single note stuff, and I think that's all you need. They just have to be in the right key or order to work. Noel Gallagher is living proof of that. Never been a fan until I've watched interviews in recent years.
Yeah I think he’s very sincere in interviews, tonnes of great songwriters don’t rely on theory
"Stand by me" and "Dyou know what i mean", are my fav oasis songs. just amazing.
Just been watching Liam do some solo gigs on YT and he still covers stand by me, great song 👍🏼
Dya know what I mean is bloody brilliant - remember taping it off radio one when it came out - exciting times
@@thesingingaccountant1 always annoying when the dj talked over the intro to songs ha
@@MusicMatters_SC true but the songs sounded bigger somehow - maybe compression or slight distortion, the cd always sounded a bit cleaner and less rocky

Their impact was/is undeniable
Lovely video mate!
Thank you! Appreciate the kind words 🎸 😊
He’s clearly got a brilliant ear and a sense for where chords and melodies should go to make the maximum emotive power. That comes out of love of music and listening to it endlessly. O and really good taste - the Beatles, the Stones, the Cure, Pet Shop Boys etc. you can’t go wrong.
Yeah totally agree. The fact he doesn’t know or use music theory only makes it clearer that he’s running on natural talent 👌🏼
Some people can just write a good melody, he is up there with the best
@@dave-jk6en yeah it seems to be a natural gift for some
Great comment totally agree
@@MusicMatters_SChe may not write it down or have a degree but he definitely understands music theory - he knows five leads to one, he knows the power of a VI-vi - he's taken those things and reused them mate - he understands it at some level
His most recent interviews have been so insightful and honest. Never tried to make out he’s something he’s not which makes his achievements and body of work all the more impressive.
Yeah very much agree!!
Extremely inspiring, as a songwriter myself Noel has been a huge influence on me.....I learnt guitar listen by ear to Oasis Albums.....I cant imagine a life without writing songs. Thankyou. If anyone is interested you can check out my band. We are called Sebastian & Me.
Thanks for checking out the video!
Will check them out mate
Fekkin amazing, I write in a key, note down the chords I like, add some chromatic chords and a few months later, I can't name most of the chords I'm playing. I can't wrap my brain around music theory the way trained musicians can. What I care most about is the song writing craft, by feeling, by music theory, by heart, by soul, any way I can and any way it comes out. I love the way he says "I'm only interested in the melody", that's brilliant, as well.
I think that’s the majority of songwriters to be honest. Very few sit down and write from a theoretical basis. It’s more often than not a ‘feeling’ that you get when it’s going to be good.

What absolute nonsense! He wrote some good songs yes but he certainly isn’t the best songwriter of the last 30 years - not even close but ‘Talk Tonight’ was a beautiful song so I’ll give him that.
@@MusicMatters_SCfacts
I’m a couple years younger than Noel and have a huge record collection. He’s still my fav songwriter of all time. I think it’s bc, as he said, he writes joyful tunes full of hope. He’s not Jimmy Page but he’s very, very competent w a guitar and he’s brilliant as a composer. For my money, I think if I was on a desert island and could only listen to one songwriter, it would be NG, mostly w Oasis but some of the new stuff on Council Skies is pretty great.
Well said 👏 👏

Absolutely. Well said 👌🏼
Little By Little, Wonder Wall, Live Forever, Some Might Say, Slide Away, What's The Story Morning Glory. so epic, so bliss.
Amen
I believe one of his personal hero’s/idols names mark lanagen actually wrote most of his songs for him and they co-wrote a few also with the other members of oasis. 😮
Hmmmmm what makes you believe that?
@@MusicMatters_SC
I suspect that the space goblins told him. 😂
I met Lanegan a few months before he passed in Ireland. He was a cool guy. He does describe in his memoirs how much he seriously hated Liam, but respected Noel, so maybe this is what @sherrierable is basing his crap on.
@@Scotlanzdem space goblins be trippin’
I’ve always thought of oasis not as a band alone. They inadvertently carried the weight of the British working class on their shoulders throughout the nineties. That meant more to people than just their songs.
Well said 👌🏼 Noel tapped into the mood of the working class at the time 100%
"I identified with the ugly guys in the band"
@@JamesCurtisOKC pretty much but not entirely. Leading up to 97 was quite a miserable time for British adolescents. You might’ve worked in a supermarket, seeing oasis make it big kind of gave you the impression that nothing but self doubt was holding you back.
It's all about the melody
Melody is king baby
Amazing video, in regards to your description of Noel as oasis' rhythm guitarist, Noel was the lead guitarist of oasis until 2000, and after 2000 he shared lead and rhythm with Gem Archer

Ear quality is key I think
Why did you include a keyboard commercial at the end?
Huh?
NG can, did, & does still, write his OWN great songs . Nonetheless - and the reason I capitalized his 'OWN' great songs here (actually inferring there's more to his song-writing than that) - in my considered ooinion, he also became an absolute MASTER of taking some classic bits of PREVIOUS classic songs and incorporating them into his own work.. very many, if not most, songwriters have always done this - and this is not knocking Noel's creativity & even genius in his field, btw - but the man took it to another level.. as he and Liam & the lads did with Oasis, performance wise.. From what I understand, Noel did this more often, and evidently 'lifting' lol, lines, notes, even lyrics (whatever he really liked &/or felt HIS song(s) needed) sometimes 'wholesale', when he was younger & just getting Oasis going... Still he's a great musician, song-writer, & artist, & at the end of the day, you gotta - no, not roll with it, lol (but that too, if ya like)- give it to him that he totally MASTERED his art!!...
The best borrower in the business!!
Noel's an Arturia soft-synth fan. That's excellent 😂
Right?! 😂
Whats the music in the background ?

If you think about how the beginning of, "Going Nowhere" is just a lift from, "This Guy's In Love With You" by Burt Bacharach. It's not a mystery. It's not, "stealing" but it's like, "getting at tune in your head that you're a fan of and using it as a take off."

@@kaimarmalade9660 yeah you may well be right

Noel writes great songs because he believes he writes great songs simple as that , also I believe he writes great songs
Haha love this
Lucky. Right place. Right time
👌🏼
Noel’s right. It’s all about the numbers. Interestingly, it’s more about appearance than the songs these days, even playing them in the studio is generally not yet to chances. Finally they do sing songs that are assigned to them and almost everything is fixed in silico.
Oh for sure, songwriting is fast becoming a dead industry. The rise of the internet basically, and ironically killed music as a marketable art form. It’s corporate through and through.

When you're a song writer or an artist, it feels like fully formed work is coming from somewhere else, and I believed that for ages, but it's not.
It's a bunch of skills and techniques that you have learned so well that they become unconscious, and somewhere in the unconscious part of your brain, all these skills and techniques come together in a unique way and it just flows out, it's not coming from anywhere but you.
Who knows what lurks in the unconscious mind though 😬 could be a whole other dimension! 👽 probably not though, so I guess you’re right.
This.
I disagree. If you read Rick Rubin’s book he explains how things just ‘happen’ as if out of nowhere - nothing to do with skill. For example when he working on System of a Down album, the singer couldn’t think of lyrics for the most important part of the song. Rick suggested opening any book on any page and use whatever he first reads. ‘Father, why have you forsaken me?’ And the rest of the paragraph and it became the most important, memorable part of the song.
No way skill had anything to do with that.
He also stated that people invent things all over the world, the same thing, at the same time and the one that gets credit is the one that acts on it and gets it registered first.
Genres of music happen at the same time all over the world, punk didn’t start in London, or whatever - it happened at the same time everywhere.
Rick says the exact same thing as this video, everything creative is ready to be plucked from the universe. Skills just help you capture it
@@SenfMustard Basic error: you didn't count up how many times people opened a book in that way to get lyrics and came up with a load of rubbish.
@@SenfMustard yeah that random element of pulling it from a book and then having it mean something to so many people suggests that all art is a blank canvas and people just project their own meaning onto it. If you want to go really deep, you could say the same for reality itself. That’s a very deep conversation though and it’s not even lunch time here yet.

I don’t understand that story about Amy Mann saying the bridge chord in Supersonic must have required music theory! It’s a C#7 chord in the key of F#m, it’s the most basic use of a V chord!
Yeah I get what you……….waaaaaait a minute. Did you just explain how he didn’t need music theory, by using music theory? 🤔 That’s some meta level theory usage, you have my respect.
who is he talking about in min 2:40?
I’m not sure, he doesn’t say exactly who. Just a generic music theorist lol
Cheers.

Cast No Shadow
bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say, one of my fave lyrics
Noel and Chris Martin crafted undeniably great melodies. Tracks that defined a moment and mean the world to countless people. Great tracks. Not great songs, and nowhere near classic songs.
“Tracks that defined a moment and mean the world to countless people” is the very definition of a classic song though isn’t it?
As opposed to what? Please give comparable tunes. The thing about music is that it affects different people in different way, and they relate to to for personal reason that other don’t, so I suppose nobody is actually right or wrong. Eg I’ve never listened to country music but Americans that have and do, think it’s the only music in town, but it’s alien to me . and you can say that about any music genre.
Noel would've had a beatles chord book , even in early 2000s I had a beatles chord book which was already decades old from a second hand bookshop so it's bollocks if noel was to ever day he didn't
Maybe, but what does owning a Beatles chord book prove? I mean you had one but you didn’t write Live Forever?
😂 such a generic response I was waiting for that
It means that alot of obscure chords he used in between standard chord phrasing that noone else was really doing at the time was because he has previously learnt alot of Beatles songs in the 80's through chord books you Pleb
Also 'Live forever ' was just a rehash of the chord progression , G D major , Am C which is found in Noel's 2nd favourite band the smiths ( charming man and boy with a thorn in his side ) praise the melodies in live forever yes but the chords was a simple lift from songs he listened to day in day out as a teenage stoner
Noel did learn a a fair bit from the real people tbh, something he tends to not mention

Yellow by Coldplay - scutter
Indeed
Black star dancing pure class
Imagine someone saying they've written a song for a band that hasnt even thought of making it and they play you live forever, almost funny.
Haha it really is
Love the background music... it's like God is speaking.
Haha it really does! Bit of Noel is good for the soul 👍🏼
He's right about the internet for new music, all people care about is the numbers, it's like people think it's the numbers that decide whether something is good or not, the art is getting lost sadly
Yeah he was 100% right. Future bands will be UA-cam influencers who decide to give music a go
So do I just sit with my guitar and wait ?
Yep! Make sure it’s in tune though or you’ll end up with a Justin Bieber song
@@MusicMatters_SC oh hard disagree on that one but ok !
He didn't do it. That's why he's so humble and nonchalant about it.
Ahhhhh that explains it then! 👌🏼
There's not many people I can sit and listen to everyone speaks abit of bullshit.this lad I could listen forever
I always wonder if Noel Gallagher has ever got stoned and listened to Beethoven. Id f**king love to hear his opinion on this.
😂 😂 I’d honestly pay money to hear that conversation
Lennon/McCartney only wrote great songs for 10 years. Noel's been doing it for over 30 years ! There'll probably never be a rock songwriter as talented as him.
Plus, he's one of the sharpest, funniest people on the planet !
Yeah I watched a lot interview footage when making this video and didn’t grow tired of hearing him chat 😂
Lennon n McCartney changed the whole paradigm of music....virtually every song written by them is years ahead melodically of anything Gallagher did...just facts that Noel would accept
@@oliverbird6914 yeah I mean he’s not in the same league as the Beatles, but it must be nice to be in the same conversation
@@MusicMatters_SC I honestly don't think he is.
I think he's a solid songwriter, but to me, it's often plodding and neat and two veg.
Deffo prefer his high-flying birds stuff.
I think they're a good indie band...very good...but because of the scarcity of talent and the tabloid friendly appeal they got huge.
The stone roses are a way better , more nuanced act...interesting, original, wierd Ruth's. Gallagher always goes for 4/4 timing and whilst cool, it gets predictable.
Look at macca..he could write effortlessly...his melodies are just so beautiful..song structures great and they try to say smthg.
Same with Lennon. More so in terms of strangeness.
Gallaghers lyrics always feel like add ons to me.
He's a good solid indie writer. Very good. I want to reiterate that but in no way could he write something as nimble on it's feet as paperback writer....as fedt as the long and winding road....as subversive and dreamlike as strawberry fields.
As mystic and poetic as across the universe.
It's just levels below. I enjoy it for what it is.
And bloody hell, he keeps ripping off Lee mavers!!
@@oliverbird6914 eloquently put!
"a song called live forever", yeah no one heard of that song, very unknown
🤭
D7 is a great chord
One of the best
@@MusicMatters_SC G7 is a great chord.
Listen to the beatles
❤❤❤Danke. Fürs Senden 😂😂❤❤Danke
Cause he's a genius end of the video. Saved you 11 minutes lol
Bro please 😂 watch to the end people!! There’s a secret surprise twist 😉
@@MusicMatters_SC 😂😂😂
Slagging York is the last straw. Noel has produced anything worthwhile since he walked out on Oasis
lol he often has a dig at Thom in different interviews. Think there may be some jealousy there 😂
Love a touchy Radiohead fan 😂😂😂
