Andy Bell - Vapour Trail [Chords & Tutorial]

[@johnnycasswell7290]

One of the most beautiful set of chords ever, it could loop non-stop and I'd be eternally happy! A song over 30 years old still sounds amazing!😍🙌

[@steve1751]

He wrote this song when he was 19 years old. Unreal.

[@richardfriday9477]

"and I've just noticed that the third finger stays where it is the whole time..." says the man who has played this beautiful song thousands of times.

[@crystalwitch6788]

His voice is still perfect and young, a warm for the soul gives you the impression that time has not passed.

[@briansutherland5905]

Whatever format I hear this song it always sends shivers down my spine

[@ThePhotoglyph]

Andy's definitely tapped into something with this song and these chords.

[@smollande]

I dont want to live in 2022 its rubbish

[@danielangulo3720]

@@smollande nah bro we get to have the guy that wrote this song teach us how to play it lol

[@weaselsuit]

I’ve been playing for 31 years now. Nobody has influenced me more than Andy Bell has.

[@PeterJanBosch]

Exciting and very beautiful song, loved it since the first time I heard it. Going to watch them play so many years after in Utrecht early next year 👍👊💪

[@plasticspoon839]

Wow,it doesn’t get any better than having Andy Bell give a tutorial on his own beautiful song, with an amazing acoustic performance thrown in!

[@smollande]

Very generous of Andy to take the time to share this. Cheers from Singapore

[@harrison3667]

Thank you Mr. Bell. My favourite song ever Seeing you guys at Hackney Church in a couple of weeks. Can’t wait

[@thesjkexperience]

One of the greatest songs ever. Thank you🎉

[@robb-linklater]

such an underated guitarist and songwriter his bass playing and tunes he wrote in oasis and beady eye were great to

[@stevengarside]

Love the Es-125. Great punchy acoustic sound. Cracking song as well.

[@hanikabo]

how beautiful these chords are...

[@joechiro]

Simple is effective is superb

[@frankynodots]

I saw these guys at Maxwell's in Hoboken. 1990 or 91. Great show. Great record.

[@porchviewfarm2471]

I remember hearing this song for the first time. Such a beautiful song.

[@Gowingmj]

Amazing to hear Andy play it like this and also the tutorial at the end ❤

[@craiggallagher7292]

One of my all-time favorite songs to listen to, play and sing. Great video.

[@catcat1517]

My god this magnificent music will last for the ages.

[@truthreporter1709]

Total gent - shows how the magic is done.

[@FrankitoSapiente]

There's a pattern: musicians that learned to play by ear use to invent their own chords. Notice that he has to recall the finger positions by playing - and that's beautiful.

[@tomblatch1594]

Oh my! This is such a gem - thanks for posting

[@hanahclaudia]

Beautiful chords..

[@lupazanussi8443]

OK....twenty years of playing this and NOW he shows me that at 4:56 he stretches his spidey pinky OVER his ring finger to play the B chord, thereby leaving the ring finger in the same position throughout the sequence. It makes it smoother to play but I need to re-program my brain and hand.😆

[@stereovaritone]

Great point. It sustains the ring if you leave the 3rd finger down as he does. Tough to master on a rick 12 I wound imagine but hardly as tough as say the intro to Mr brightside

[@pedrinhosangrento]

i started to cry when he started to sing :(

[@plunderpunk2]

When I finally saw them I cried the entire song.

[@crystalwitch6788]

me too

[@pedrinhosangrento]

@tzaddikim1a.k.aomegarinse368 Lucky you! I love acid! And I love Lush too!

[@SuperStrangefruit]

Why?

[@Re570]

I tried to figure it out by a video of their live performance of this song but this is super helpful! :)) also, I could listen to Andy's soft voice read a phone book it's so nice

[@yomchaeljoe]

Thanks Andy

[@ryanjonestownmassaker5943]

Best love song ever❤

[@roberttschaefer]

Brilliant! So grateful for this! 🙏🏼❤️

[@starflyr57]

I like how the chair is mic'd up

[@6pallik9]

Amazing

[@ricardodecampos7037]

Love it

[@scooter-alchemy]

Still awesome!

[@DnBclassictunes]

Superb

[@Mr_Jesus_Hairdo]

Andy created an equally great solo track using a similar chord progression, check out his Something Like Love

[@bpalpha]

Thanks so much!

[@satoshi_arisaka]

アコースティックギターで奏でられるライドもまた乙なモノ。

[@jessek437]

[@ronk1970]

Windsor 1990 I was at gig I have a Ride lovely pink t shirt for free!

[@andrewc9762]

TIL that i have been playing my favorite song, totally wrong for over 20 years.

[@alexlifeson44]

Divine comedy version best

[@brendagallagher599]

[@fshoaps]

Andy got a hair transplant.

[@alexanderson7047]

Did he really?

[@charlesbell1536]

nope - I'd say that balding pattern is a Bell family trait judging by a few of my Bell relatives
