Wonderwall part 1

my second piece of music to be analysed is a song by Oasis called wonderwall. Oasis are a five piece Manchester outfit who 'redifined' their generation. They played music that wasn't played during their time. They were very well reknowned for their live sets, whch were not high octane, just walls of sounds, which suited them perfectly. They were the type of band that let the music speak for themselves, believeing that the4 songs hould make the artist, not anythign else. Many of you have of course heard of many stories regarding Oasis, mainly bad ones. They have had bad publicity on countless occasions. basically, they tend to get into fights and brawls and disagreements with basically everyone. internal strife between the two borthers, vocalist liam gallagher as well as lead guitarrist and the brainchild of oasis, noel gallagher. they constantly fought amongst themselves. that numerous problems for the band.

oasis is the reason that got me started on the guitar. although wonderwall wasnt the first song i learnt, it was of of the first few. it's a beautifully constructed piece, played acoutiscally but at times electrically during their live sets. the following is the music video of wonderwawll. note the beautiful cello line that provides a beautiful backdrop form the second verse onwards. (the cello line isn't shown on the scores)



the efollowing is a live set by them. ths particular concert was a 2 night even selling 70000 tickets per night. it was released as a live album called 'familiar to millions'. just listen to the crowd sing along to the chorus!!! such a high man! haha he even lets them sing the whole ending chorus!!!! liam is my idol man!



and the following is another live set by them but with the current band line up.



notice how liam gallagher sings. something dr chia will never allow in choir eh?
