Top 10 Blur Riffs

[@aaronhernandezcruz2899]

Happy birday graham coxon

[@LuisSodaStCarp]

Feliz pajaro JAJAAJJJ

[@Sylandrophol]

graham coxon is one of the GOATs tbh, ingenious and really out-there with his guitar skills--and that's why he's one of my favorite guitarists lmao

[@WildMorgan]

The thing with Coxon is that he's not jaw droppingly amazing. He has a very, very specific set of skills, which he uses very, very well. And that's what makes him great.

[@davidpope7151]

he’s not, j mascis is the GOAT

[@nicolasv9509]

Yeah, the way that coxon use the guitar to do his lines or licks it's amazing, very creative

[@oaktowndimond668]

And with working with duran duran, he's proven to be even more diverse. He cowrote the majority of the tracks on Future Past but none of them are heavily guitar oriented... The guy just knows how to write a pop song!

[@goldboy150]

It’s the difference between technical ability and creativity. He isn’t the most technically gifted by any stretch but he came up with riffs, progressions and solos that no one else would ever have come up with. That’s what makes him great.

[@spinswimscream25]

I still think the outro riff for Beetlebum is one of the best ever

[@maukkamaunula4372]

YES!

[@a1rh3ad]

Same

[@eliasmg9144]

possibly their most beloved riff

[@garydixon6315]

Alex's Baseline makes it I think ... 🙂

[@Безумиезаразно]

Би 2 - Феллине рифф себе забрали

[@inesc.6785]

graham coxon is such an underappreciated guitarist honestly. blur just got way to overshadowed by oasis' fame and the britpop movement. you played all of these unique riffs beautifully!

[@jorgek92]

No Gallagher could be at this guitar level

[@Genny-Zee]

I used to know an Ines C irl at school lol

[@allbottledup9513]

Both Blur and Suede are twice as good as Oasis in my opinion.

[@ronaldcox3369]

Noel G himself said that Graham was one of the best guitarists of his generation. Maybe he can't shred at 100 MPH but he creates guitar riffs that are so inventive not many could come up with them. Similar to Johnny Marr in that respect.

[@Christian-97]

@@ronaldcox3369Agree 100%

[@TellEveryoneRecords]

Coffee & TV is the definition of a killer riff. The little bend is flawless. And while everyone else was jamming Song 2, Beetlebum was the track I was amazed by. Well done.

[@kian_hc]

Never liked song 2 much even before I got into blur. Beetlebum absolutely blew my mind however

[@Gabriel-fj2es]

Graham Coxon, one of the most characteristic and originals guitarists ever.

I'd argue it's harder than Snow by RCHP

[@wearethehappyones18]

Its kinda sad that most people think of blur as the "WOOOOOO HOOOOOOO" guys

[@LeveyHere]

They're also the Bill Barett, country living, coffee drinking, park going pre-Gorillaz frontman band.

[@SmokyApeV]

y? u cant know about every good band on eath, and i think thats good, that there at least one song, that know (or ever heard once) anyone

[@Без_трусиков-ф1ф]

“Submission - Sex pistols”

[@cnrsfilms]

@João de Arruda Campos Cardoso Check out their best of compilation, it's truly great. More specifically, look at Parklife, 13, and The Great Escape.

[@guilhermemedeiros3243]

@João de Arruda Campos Cardoso listen to Modern Life Is Rubbish, their second album and for me, their best Also Parklife and Leisure are good listenings, but Modern Life is perfect and every song goes perfectly

[@Bernard-Shakey]

Killer playing on "No Distance Left To Run"! Coxon is immense. 'Clover Over Dover' is another cool piece by him.

[@bloxsy_]

Thanks. Haven't heard that one, will check it out.

[@chrischamberlain2168]

@@bloxsy_ it’s on Parklife. Superb album. She’s So High is another favourite of mine which is on their first album.

Clover Over Dover is my favorite blur song I always wanted to know how Graham players it on guitar 🎸

[@ildar12071972]

@@bloxsy_ ye yo need to clear 2 part of riffs

[@andrewpappas9311]

Graham Coxon is such an underrated guitarist in my opinion, he writes such good riffs and he definitely needs more recognition. Great job dude, killer playing

[@orgonelifesupport]

So quintessentially British. Elegant and rocking. Graham just has a way with making the riffs seem like there’s 2 guitars. Little melodic notes between the chords to fill up the space and make everything interesting. Great tone.

[@LeveyHere]

Song 2, Magic America, Bugman, Beetlebum, Parklife, and Coffee and TV. They've got to be on here.

[@lizzie7183]

coffee and tv was on there?

[@raphaelfp]

I'm so glad to find someone making justice to Bang, a totally underrated guitar work by Graham Coxon. The intro is fantastic and also the verse parts. Combined with the baggy groove it's beyond me why Blur fans don't seem to enjoy this single

Very well done. Coxon is too much underrated. He is so talented and creative.

[@antonio_sousa28]

One of my favourite guitarists of all time. Great choices all around, some other great genius moment by Graham imo are I Know, Chemical World, Oily Water, Villa Rosie, Stereotypes, Bugman and most of all, the chorus to the incredible He Thought of Cars.

[@boosh90]

His arrangement for "He thought of cars" might by my favourite. Fantastic player.

[@rafaelsantosx]

Colin Zeal, specially live, is a killer too.

[@jonnyfigg]

That Swamp Song riff is pretty killer too doe

10. That’s it? Gotta do like 50 of them.

[@blakefish80]

The instrumental outro to Beetlebum is about as magnificent as it gets. Absolute eargasm!

[@wishyouwerebeer_]

Great effort!! Beetlebum made me start singing at one point, that riff always gets me. Blur deserve more recognition, I personally love their music, but I love the development of it through the years even more, from britpop to their own sound.

[@bloxsy_]

Thank you!

[@luzhizui]

Brit-pop WAS their own sound. Are you suggesting they 'copied it'?

[@luzhizui]

@@bloxsy_ + magic America, clover over Dover. There must be another 10 worth bringing our attention to :)

[@samharradence5689]

Bloxsy could very well be Graham Coxon's long lost twin, brilliant stuff

[@fishwymusic]

Fun fact. Especially Liam Gallagher like to brag about Morning Glory selling many more copies than The great escape. Well Damon Albarn's work (Blur, Gorillaz and solo) has more listeners on Spotify than Liam Noel and Oasis combined now! And Morning Glory sold roughly 6 times more than the great escape but now the ratio is very roughly 2:1 on Spotify in Oasis favour (vs Blur only) and that's quite remarkable since Blur haven't really been fronting their music like Liam and Noel has . Great Video and great playing!

[@crowkid5553]

Yeah but that's Damon, not the whole band

[@Synthysynthsynth]
