OASIS: The Top 5 Noel Guitar Solos on Be Here Now (+tab) 

Cheers for the dedication James! 😉 All joking aside, as I said in my message, I'm sincerely sorry that my video was so close to yours - I can honestly say it wasn't intentional but in retrospect, it seems probable that I've seen yours at some point in the last few years and subconsciously absorbed it so when it came to quickly putting that video together on the day it went live, I covered some of the same ground! I'm of course more than happy to remove my video if you wish! 🙂 I've been on the receiving end of _inspired_ videos and recordings and certainly wouldn't want to step on any toes! All the best, Chris

"I Hope, I Think, I Know" is so underrated. The other month I heard it in a Five Guys here in the US, which was really weird.

James, James, James....a video on solos of Noel Gallagher and the thumbnail is a FENDER headstock?!?!?😜 Oh, and Chris Buck is a PHENOMENAL guitarist, by far the best young guitarist coming out of the UK today. When the likes of Slash are raving about you, you know you're on the right track.

glad to see magic pie getting some recognition..one of my favourite solos/bits of music ever

Great Album In my opinion and really was a great album to finish the 90s!

Fade in Out live is outstanding.

I guess Chris wanted to make a buck....

Playing catch up again on your videos is fantastic.. " It's Getting Better Man " 🔥❤️🤟😊

Just as Noel is the magpie of indie rock music, Chris Buck becomes the magpie of indie rock youtube videos…a poetic continuation - Noel would be proud. James understands how The Real People felt. If this goes to court, Chris uses Ed Shearan’s ‘chord sequence defence’ that there’s only so many musical analysis video combinations, so they’re bound to duplicate!

Magic Pie is undoubtedly one of the best songs he did. The ending section is a delectable medley of musical splendour.

Gotta love the work you do for us Oasis fans mate! ❤

The Johnny Depp solo in Fade In Out is so underrated, I have to say thats my favorite solo in the album, you described it best with magic pie, just psychedelic madness.

It’s getting better man is a quality track. ☑️

Be here now was an outstanding album.. not a weak song … love your content James

I think this would be a great series on the channel. Always love to see guitar content. I'm assuming you've watched Noels interview on That Pedal Show. Its an amazing watch.

I don't care what anybody says, Magic Pie is brilliant and the live version at the Hammerstein Ballroom is massive. Someone else mentioned already but Fade In-Out live is also pretty unique because Noel never played anything quite like that intro solo ever again.

Whole new appreciation for Magic Pie! Noel’s style of solos and fills always added an entire dimension to their tracks which has dried up since BHN. He underrates his guitar playing.😢

I would love to know what are Chris Buck's favourite solos on this album 😂

James, Your videos NEVER disappoint. Thank you! Your fan from Boston, USA - New England! PS: Got tix for Noel in Boston 15 July. Saw Liam at Greek Theatre in 2018, where Noel just played, my West Coast holiday wrapped around Liam's show--cuz he wasn't coming East.

GUITAR SOLO TABS: 5.- My Big Mouth 3:49 4.- I Hope, I Think, I Know 4:53 3.- D'You Know What I Mean? 6:00 2.- It's Gettin' Better (Man!!) 7:14 1.- Magic Pie 9:20 Enjoy guys. ❤

I love the way you continually give it to Be Here Now. I think it is a great album. The album that followed Morning Glory was always going to be a step down. But that doesn’t mean that it is a bad album

Nothing to say about the video that was released last week by That Pedal Show with Noel on it? All the Oasis fans were talking about it within 24 hours.

There's an error on I Hope I Think, I Know, James. The second "page" of the tabs should be written as the D string, not the G (or, at least, you're playing the D string). the "17-17-17 16-16-16 14-14-14 12-12-12" are on the D, if anyone is confused a bit. Thanks for posting these solos, regardless, mate (everyone makes mistakes).

Great video as usual! Wondering if you could do a video on the Lock All The Doors 1992 demo working out the lead guitar since there are no tabs online 🎸

I always thought the live outro when they did all around the world was amazing!!

In my opinion Noel has a great sense for melodies and chords. However, I always think he just experimented with cords without knowing what he was doing and just judging by the sound. Which, I think, is a completely appropriate way to do it. As for his soloing it is very much the same. He is definitely not the best guitar player but one of the best song writers. You have loads of really technical guitarists around these days, but not a lot that can write good songs any more. Just my opinion. I really love this channel! I love Oasis music. 😊

It's Gettin Better Man

Magic Pie solo on the album was drowned out by the backing vocals and therefore very unimpressive but live versions were totally erm magical so I can agree on that one with you

Oh come on. He literally played it on That Pedal Show. I thought of you when he did it lol

It's random that I only got to Chris Buck this week after seeing him play the Purple Rain solo live, but on happening on his 'secret' chord video, I thought: hang on a minute?

I hope I think I know is my favorite Oasis song ever, along with Slide Away 🤗💞😘

Great vid James! It would be awesome to see a breakdown of John Squire’s Champagne solos for Knebworth 96 & 22! They are both impressive yet very unique from each other!

I never know what to make of this album, I genuinely can't decide if it's shit or really solid. Probably a bit of both. Essential but flawed.

Did you see Noel fail the solo for DLBINA in america. He said he would butcher it in the pedal show interview too. I'm wondering if Gem will start playing it after that gig

Oh God, I've hated Magic Pie since the first time I heard it! Had no idea there was dueling guitar solos in it. Might have to go back and give it a listen.

Quite ironic that you're having a moan about Chris when you're making Videos about the bloke who knicked almost everything.

I hardly doubt Chris Buck plagiarised you.

Awesome video with your outstanding talent as a guitarist. As much as Be Here Now is a loud album in itself, I think there were some of the last great moments when Noel was actually doing lead in the most effective and rhythmic ways when the band were progressing. Btw, is it me or the video looks reversed from your room to your guitar playing shots? Nevertheless it's brilliant to see another great guitar video on your channel.

James you're right about the Zeppelin influence on My Big Mouth. Sort of like The song remains the same phrases.

Having been 14 when Be Here Now came out and my first real exposure to Oasis (and rock music in general) it will always hold a special place for me. I also love SotSoG as I waited what felt like 10 years for it after becoming obsessed with them post the Be Here Now hype. Turns out it was less than a three year gap lol.

Love these kinds of videos James. Thank you for posting. Any chance you would take a stab at transcribing some of his solos from specific live performances? The extended ending to Champagne Supernova comes to mind from any of his gigs as well as the Fade/In Out performance from the GMEX gig. Thanks again....cheers!

Georgiarose16 showed us true Oasis fans the DLBIA chord many many years ago before any of the discussion about what it is ever came around

Fade in out opening from GMEX ‘97

Magic Pie to me is just tragic. The verses are as good as anything he’s written but the chorus is just appalling. He should have spent more time on it I feel the rest of the deserved it. Good original call with the solo though.

Ha! Nicely done, James. That video came up on my feed the other week and I just thought to myself "I'm sure James Hargreaves did an in depth video on this ages ago..."

James regarding your Council Skies video have you considered that this record may have parallels to Blood on the Tracks by Bob Dylan? I've noticed it starts kind of the same way, the opening songs are similar in structure and Blood on the Tracks is more or less a seperation album so that might be another parallel

I love 'Magic Pie' too. I can't understand why it attracts so much hate. It is a psychedelic masterpiece. Maybe it will get its due eventually. Cheers.

Don’t go away is a classic also. Especially now we now about the Real People background. Great work boys. ✌️👍✌️

Love Chris Buck

Why are you smiling like a naughty kid while talking about the secret chord?😃 I mean it's completely alright just don't understand what is so funny.😂

Hi guys. When I was figuring out the secret chord years ago I cheated and copied the very last three chords in ‘Hello’ You’re welcome.

Lovely crisp guitar work, great vid.

James can you do the tab, john squire solo over "Champagne Supernova" Knebworth 1996. That speed part is really confusing.

Shame Noel doesn’t write or perform solos these days. He even said in recent interviews that he ‘outsources’ the solos. I know he pretty much stays in the pentatonic scale, but I’ve always liked his solos. Enjoyed this vid

When is he going to DeepFake his face onto your videos?

Every solo sounds exactly the same and I love Oasis.

I'm guessing neither you or Chris have seen this tutorial video for Don't look back in anger which was 14 years ago. The chord he plays is pretty much identical at around 3 minutes into the video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-f9_pCJ5L5Qw.html

Stand by me , although a simple and pretty short solo is still a great solo and adds so much to the song!

Hi James, seeing as though you're a Stone Roses and John Squire fan, is there any chance you could create a tab for I Wanna Be Adored? I can't find a single tutorial on RU-vid where the guitar is correctly transcribed. Your Slide Away video was perfect, so I'd love to see a similar video for this Stone Roses song.

Think Magic Pie is one of the best tunes off the album

Been wathing all ur stuff this last year-brilliant mate-were all still mad for it-keep it up mate-ur a brilliant guitarist-never noticed u were left handed till i watched this video!!!-from the north of scotland thanks

Interesting video, where did you hear about the led zeppelin influence? I think it sounds a bit like oasis being influenced by The Stone Roses’ Second Coming

my personal fave is the outro solo Noel plays on It's gettin better man live at air studios london

The way you incorporate the tabs over the videos is great. More please!

Magic Pie Fantastic track. It was when they met Ian Brown at the studio of an evening 🥴💨

The it’s getting better (man!!) solo is one of my favourites to play

BHN forever

fade in out solo at the gmex is as good as it gets

Hi James, (sorry, in my first message I have used the name 'Jim'. I do apologise.) Hope you are doing well! I would really like to thank you for your videos (especially "Slight Return"). Brilliant stuff. I know this is a bit 'off topic' but would you please consider transcribing "Hey Now!", given that all the videos on YT are not very good or don't have a tab to play along with? That would be very appreciated. Thanks and Kind Regards Marco

I think most of Be Here Now's song sounds much better in live. Especially Fade In/Out. (It doesn't mean that the album version is not good.) And Magic pie was too harshly criticized. The combination of Noel and Guitar Solo in Highlight is fantastic.

Can you play the solos from Go Let It Out? Specially that ones that Gem plays in live performances like in Wembley 2000

I thought My Big Mouth, live @ Knebworth, was absolute, utter, & sheer brilliance! But on the album... ?? Meh. That's all I can say for it, really.

magic pie live solo is great too..Great video as usual..thanx

I think Chris just did it from the TPS video and as he says maybe subconsciously got influenced by your video. Saying that it’s what Noel has consciously been doing since day one, ripping off other stuff and just not caring about it. 😂

Great video James and you do these solos great justice! Im ambivalent to Magic Pie.... its nowhere near as good as acquiesce, live forever, some.might say etc but nowhere near as bad as songs like I can see a liar, the nature of reality and little james.

Next task ,trying to find the mistery chord in "All Around the world" when he sings "Are getting deeper every day" ...t

Magic Pie has one of the catchiest verses Noel has ever written But the chorus sucks and the song is way to long hwich ruins it a bit for me unfortunately I also like this psychedelic which really seems to work but NOT for the chorus

Cheeky bastard hahahah!!! I thought that when his video came up in my feed, I was like, hmmm pretty sure our James has covered that already 🤣

Play one of Noel’s solos and you’ve played ‘em all lol. Oasis will always be my favourite band and Noel the reason why I write songs, but we need to face facts 😅

I hope i think i know is so underrated its unreal, an absolutely amazing song.

Is it wrong that magic pie is one of my favorite? Be here now has always been my favorite oasis album. Sorry

Some people just remain as pentatonic pete's their whole careers but noel barely played even half a pentatonic scale

Great video, you missed a trick by excluding Fade In-Out though 👍

Secret chord my arse… I’ve been playing this since 96…

That last one isn't really a solo, its just lead work. They do the same figures over and over again, all that changes is moving over a fret or two

I always stick this album in n in the dressing room before a gig… proper belting

Thanks for the hard work! Brilliant!!

Everything perfect 😊(but wrong Guitar )

Even some comments on his vid were saying ' James Hargreaves already did this years ago '

Does he not use a capo on do you know want I mean?

If only Noel had learned Ionian and the natural minor scale his solo's may have been more interesting. My personal fav solo from Be Here Now is the melodic outro guitar solo on All Around The World

Im watching tv opposite yer right handed😂

Wow, nice work. You did a great job with those drums too!

thank noel for the 2016 rethink of d’you know what i mean

1) Your playing is great. 2) Your recordings are great. 3) What a shame BHN wasn’t produced with the clarity of WTSMG because both the songs and Noel’s guitar work would get the chance to shiiiiiiine as they should.

You two should hook up and do a few oasis covers on RU-vid. 👌

Brilliant video and great choices 👍

Why are you playing left handed if this is you?

I always loved magic pie

Lol. I noticed that video about the secret chord
