Arabian Knights by Siouxsie & The Banshees on a NEW Guitar 

The closest we’ll get to having McGeoch sit down and teach us. Well done - absolutely stunning.

McGeoch such a brilliant artist. ages ahead of his time.

John McGeogh one of the most underrated guitarists ever ...Great sounds 👌

McGeoch was certainly a master. Him, Johnny Marr, and Will Sergeant I think were the most creative and unique of the era.

Man this is by far my favorite guitar channel on RU-vid. I consider myself an intermediate player, not interested in getting overly technical just wanna be able to play cool shit in genres I like (shoegaze, indie, britpop) and this channel has been consistently delivering for a long time

What an amazing riff! McGeoch was a Master

Enjoyed this. John invented his own rules. I'm sure Geordie Walker and Mcgeoch followed each other's playing. Both very dark and inspiring 🌴

Lovely video. You nailed his live tone. I have two original SG1000’s which I have used to play a few Mcgeoch covers on my channel if anyone’s interested. The original Yamaha SG’s are very heavy, better quality and have coil taps which is also a part of the sound.

Wow. Another great post punk classic! I hope one day we will see some Echo and the Bunnymen early days lesson, like Show of strength of Heaven up here. Or Television - Friction.

Never got too far into 80s alternative but Peter Murphy, PIL, and Chameleons UK are personal favorites of mine. Only just today I heard McGeoch’s The Light Pours Out of Me - I had no idea all these years it was anyone’s but Peter Murphy’s. Then a quick look online and holy cow - this McGeoch guy did everything !?!? Hugely talented in my book, and all of you who already knew - you have my utmost respect.

Fantastic Adrian you have nailed it. Mcgeoch was a genius his riffs are legendary. Remember seeing the banshees at the barrowland Glasgow and the place going mental at this song. Great stuff keep up the good work.

Absolutely magnificent! The 2:40s bit is imo the best part of the song, both on this video and on the original single release itself. Releases endorphins....It's sounds so dark, moody and foreboding!

I cannot play any kind of instruments and I do not understand anything about music composition… but i listen to your video as when a teacher is explaining a poem. And it is great…

And the hits just keep coming! This is one reason why you’re my favorite guitar channel

Wonderful - cant believe how interesting your song selection is - most of my favourite songs. Excellent straight forward teaching and information - thanks so much.

You deserve a prize for providing tutorials on gems from the post-punk era! Brilliant and painstacking work!

thank you for keeping his memory alive with such enthusiasm and talent. SATB has a big place in my heart and you are doing it great justice, cheers friend 🤙

Great job!! Takes me back to Middle School in late 70's/Early 80's! Heavily influenced by punk/ new wave and post punk as I got older!! Love it and your great selections!!

Just goes to show, a man can never have too many guitars...great to see you back Adrian!

Alright, I subscribed. I discovered this song just over a year ago and became fascinated with it. Played the bass part by ear and tried the guitar part by watching the live video but gave up. You making this video is so timely, and so instructional. Great stuff. And that is a beautiful Eastwood you have there.

I've never had the talent or discipline to work out this track. Thank you for taking the time to do this .

Thank you for breaking down this brilliant part. I appreciate your time and mastery.

there is no way to describe my love for the guitar in this song. i am glad i came across this video. wonderfully done!

That bridge section is so psychedelic!! Loved it ever since I heard it for the first time when I was like 13 y/o

Especially loved the magazine stuff, The Correct Use Of Soap was magic

Great! The guitar playing of the original track is truely coming alive and I love Siouxsie Songs very much for their guitars, especially this one.

I've gone mad and bought a flanger and a delay because of this! I was lucky enough to see them twice on this tour as well. What a guitar player John was.

I remember buying Juju from Our Price records in Victoria station in London, getting it home and playing it to death. Great work .

Your videos are always so well presented, Adrian! Many thanks for again showcasing the talent that was John McGeogh. Juju is a flawless album &, in my opinion, McGeogh's creative highpoint. The Banshees were blessed with some innovative guitarists, notably the metallic-flanged offerings of John McKay (e.g. Placebo Effect), John McGeogh and John Valentine Carruthers (especially on Tinderbox (92 Degrees, Lands End etc)). Best wishes!

The Yammy SG series were feckin phenomenal guitars! Absolutely beautiful instruments. ❤❤❤

Thank you again, Adrian, for another masterful tutorial.👏

Amazing! I'm a big admirer of McGeoch, but didn't have a clue on how to play what he did with the Banshees. Thanks so much!

Excellent video! Great work and great execution!!

Great video, always top content, beautiful execution and explanation. MC Geoff is one underrated guitar player. Thank you 🙏

Beautifully done

Brilliant Adrian, John has been an influence on my playing since real life and I always have one of his in the repertoire, currently it's My Tulpa, Rhythm of Cruelty before that. It's really wonderful that you are keeping his legacy alive. 😎🎙🎸✅

Nailed it. Great sound and fantastic lesson. Oh nice guitar too!

Great work as usual. McGeoch's solo in Permafrost is so perfect for the song and would to see your rendition of it.

JUJU album is magical, i've always loved it

Wow you nailed this. Gorgeous guitar too.

Another fantastic video, love it!

Thanks for this! Never expected to see a Siouxsie and the Banshees lesson on a 'guitar tutorial' type of channel. I've been learning the guitar for the past 20 years and there are two sides to my guitar brain - one side that tries to learn all the blues/jazz stuff (maj7 m7b5 chords, blues licks blah blah blah), and the other side that really loves stuff like Banshees and The Cure, which 'typical' or 'serious' guitarists frown upon because they are unorthodox, 'too simple' or 'rely on effects'. Thank you for showing that both worlds can meet on one RU-vid guitar channel. :)

Such a great song 🎶 such great chords and your playing is amazing 🤩

Fantastic. Great playing and tutorial. Opened my mind to an awesome tune I wasn’t aware of. Downside is I’ve listened to it about 53 times in a row...

Oh my god, never clicked the thumbs up button so quickly in my life. Thank you so much.

Another fantastic video.. Keep up the great work.

Hey Adrian, thanks for posting this great Banshees tutorial, the pedal breakdown at the end is really helpful. I am a massive John McGeoch fan and would love to see some Magazine tutorials too please!!

always nice to see you play..cheers from México

I love singing along to this. 😊

Such greatness! Love it man.

Ridiculously brilliant!

Really love the drums to this. I never heard this song before.

Great video Adrian. Thanks.

A flawless rendition, Adrian! Hats off, if I had one😉

Great stuff. Amazing!!!!

This makes me melt.....

Wonderful video. You nailed it. ❤

Hup. . hup. . .hup hup Ho!!,. . . . . 'cryin' man , . . .what an excellent presentation and tribute to the man and his music and a lesson thrown in as well, so well done Sir, many thanks. 'Spellbound' would sound great on this too!!

Bril again. Loving these mcgeoch vids

Splendid.

Well done! Hypnotic! Gorgeous.

Fantastic!

Christmas is very slowly staging a hostile takeover of halloween in the background

Superb ever considered doing Into the Light ?

Sublime…many thanks for posting❤️‍🔥

Beautiful piece of music

Yes Adrian! Amazing video. :D

Awesome!!

I love the SG, Stuart Adamson of the Skids and Big Country played them, I was big fan of Stuart. The Juju Album was one of my favorites of Souxsie and the Banchees. Thanks for putting these classic punk / post punk tutorials out there. Now I can try to play songs I tried to play when I was a teenager.

great lesson thanks

Lovely stuff!! How about 'A Song From Under The Floorboards'?

Always thrilled to see more of John's work on this channel. Wouldn't mind seeing some of the late Stuart Adamson (Skids/Big Country) too now that you've got one of these, as he played an SG2000.

Totally forgot about that fella, well done for reminding an old duffer about his youth ! Credit where it's due, you must be a freakish nerd to bottom some of this work! Well done

Brilliant!

Fantastic job

thank you so much!

What a song! What amazing playing! Amazing teacher!!! More 80s alternative please 🙏

Dude You are awesome!

Goooood work!

DUDE!!! GORGEOUS guitar!

WOW GREAT JOB

Beautiful

Thank you very much.

And u are fantastic teacher and supercomprehensive

Brilliant as ever, terrific rendition of the great McGeoch style. Please consider Cities In Dust and Christine for future episodes!?

Great Idea Adrian! I also have an great deal of admiration for Mc Geoch. He is definitely an underrated guitar hero.. Those were Siouxie's best collaborative creative years when he was around... I never understood why Yamaha discontinued the product.. Good thing Eastwood carries on with the model.. Please keep doing more of that stuff :)

Great stuff.

Looks great

Sooooo good thank you

You sound fantastic !

I like the way you refer back to the LP. I have that LP, bought at the time.

Such a delicious performance

Franchement chapeau mec 👍

I noticed this guitar was released and now im sold.

Nailed it

That's soooo cool

Excellent

fantastic

I love your channel, you explain things really well and even a mediocre guitarist like myself can follow what you're doing. I'm a really big McGeoch fan so I especially enjoyed this video as well as the Spellbound one. Don't know if you're aware of this but the Generation X song Heavens Inside features some classic McGeoch guitar work. Highly recommend giving that a listen. Keep up the great work.

Excellent!
