Blur - Coffee & TV (Guitar Tutorial)

[@PaulJonesy]

Finally a tutorial for this song that doesn't chicken out and use barre chords, thanks!

[@FraserMacphersonmusic]

No problem!

[@buckbumble]

I have no idea how this dude has under a 1000 subs. His tutorials have been very useful to me for years!

[@KrisRamJ]

Just watched Graham play this on That Pedal Show and your tutorial is bang on

[@FraserMacphersonmusic]

KrisRamJ thanks!

[@ivanhagarchaar4394]

Graciaass!! soy de Argentina y es el primer video de un Estado unidense o ingles que veo que está traducido al Español te lo agradezco mucho porque alta paja tener que traducir todo y +1 Sub =)

[@ernestovidales09]

De hecho creo que el señor es irlandés pero muy cierto, muy buena lección.

[@FrancescoDendi]

This is very well done! One of the few tutorial where you can get what to do. Thank you!

[@FraserMacphersonmusic]

Francesco Dendi Thanks a lot!

[@nicklasmeltzerjacobsen6743]

[@FraserMacphersonmusic]

Nicklas Meltzer Jacobsen thanks and thanks for watching!

[@powthecat]

Thank you so much! I've been wanting to learn to play this for so long and now I can finally do it!!

[@FraserMacphersonmusic]

pow the cat no problem, thanks for watching!

[@TheFurio2]

Best lesson I’ve found 👌

[@FraserMacphersonmusic]

Joe Buck Yourself thanks!

[@ConstantineAndreas]

Thanks a lot. Appreciate it, bud. Spent the last couple days learning the song with the help of your video. I'm almost there. Cheers.

[@ConstantineAndreas]

Constantine P Oh yea. The only thing I'd like to add to this is during the chorus, you can play a 2nd guitar part (rhythm) by after playing Cm7 and that weird B chord, you go back to that Am/weird A chord, then back to Cm7, then E major, then Am/that weird A chord then back to that weird B chord. And when u do it the second time, u just end on D major instead of the weird B one. Probably fun to do with two guitars. Hope I described that well enough haha.

[@FraserMacphersonmusic]

Constantine P No problem at all! Glad it helped.

[@aryotaheri7421]

perfect tutorial. Thank you so much. this was the best =)

[@FraserMacphersonmusic]

+aryo borzin Taheri No problem, thanks!

[@chriswattsuk]

Nice to see a guitar tutorial with such expert attention to detail! The little lick going into the chorus at 8:20 isn't right though to my ears.

[@e75channel]

This is a treasure. Thank you so much

[@FraserMacphersonmusic]

Hey! No problem

[@thebigjock5612]

This is THE tutorial for this song, spot on :)

[@FraserMacphersonmusic]

Thank you! If you'd like any other Blur tutorials or a song by another band then let me know!

[@m.debaser4]

yep, but the verse-chorus bridge is kinda wrong, I took the guitar a bit and this sound more accurate imo: e -----x/x-----x b -----7/9----7 g -----x/x-----x d -----4/6-----4 a -----x/x------x E------5/7-----5 and then ending with that A chord on 5th fret he explained (/ is for sliding, after just one strumming for the last two chords).

[@Burns1993Joe]

Really good tutorial mate. Thanks so much for uploading! 👍🏼

[@FraserMacphersonmusic]

hey no problem, thanks for watching!

[@RobM1606]

Fantastic mate, many thanks. I thought I knew this song inside out but I obviously didn't!

[@FraserMacphersonmusic]

TheNiborselig no problem!

[@stevelloyd57]

This is easily the best explanation of this song I've seen online. I'm struggling with the "pinky bend" on the first chord tho! It'll strengthen with time tho I'm sure. What reverb are you using man? Sounds ace!

[@FraserMacphersonmusic]

Hey, thanks! I’m just using the reverb setting on my Fender Super Champ X2.

[@patrznaklate]

Brilliant. I pondered if it really was both C and C# in this A chord but I never dared to post it anywhere ;)

[@FraserMacphersonmusic]

+kapikapikapi Thanks! Haha yeah, I dared, and I'm certain it's right! It's what I'm hearing in the live videos anyway. He's a chord wizard Coxon eh.

[@malcolm_mal2055]

Come on man that's some nice dom7#9 juice right there! You gotta appreciate some altered dominant chords.

[@muziekextravaganza]

Nice tutorial! Corrected a few errors I made when playing it.

[@FraserMacphersonmusic]

thanks!

[@salomp1452]

for the B, how do you not get your A string muted by your 2nd finger?

[@Noisehead101]

I met him a few times and one he showed me that Am type chord but with on the 3rd fret on the A string, which is a C note, which makes more sense. But you're right also, i've seen him play the C# note too. Anyway, he's a very interesting and creative player so it doesn't surprise me he has more than 1 way of playing his songs.

[@FraserMacphersonmusic]

Cool! Very lucky to have met him a few times. I met him once outside a bar and we talked for a bit about Bert Jansch, never got the chance to discuss his own guitar playing. Yeah, he's an incredible talent!

[@Noisehead101]

Fraser Macpherson Ahh, he's a cool guy. I got to support him a few times on his solo ventures as we have the same booking agent, so i've been lucky enough to play a bit of guitar with him too just messing around. Top guy and great guitarists. Cock Rock guitar and long solo's have never appealed to me even when i started playing when i was young. I always knew Blur's music when i was young but it wasn't until i got into playing guitar that i really started hearing guitar in songs, so that style of his was just really appealing rather than the usual rehashed pentatonic licks and solo's. I just like the way he totally thinks outside of the box when it comes to his guitar parts, no pun intended. The tone really is in the fingers too. I've been him play a guitar and amp that isn't his usual rig and it still sounded like Graham Coxon.

[@FraserMacphersonmusic]

+Lenny Henry Sweet! What band are you in? That's really cool that you got to have some jams with him. Definitely, my favourite guitarists are Coxon, Marr, Butler and Greenwood, guitarists that are the complete antithesis of the cock rock long solo garbage.

[@bowiebase2101]

Awesome tutorial man, thanks so much

[@FraserMacphersonmusic]

Thank you so much!

[@mightyboognish6579]

Do you know how to play the lead guitar parts in He Thought of Cars? Can't find them online anywhere. Worked out a couple of bits myself but it's a struggle.

[@FraserMacphersonmusic]

Mighty Boognish I don’t, but I’ll definitely have a look at it!

[@Rogers6255]

Could you recommend any the best way to get that Graham coxon sound using GarageBand pedals on Mac? Tia👍🏻

[@pcacule202]

Perfect tutorial :)

[@FraserMacphersonmusic]

Pcacule thank you!

[@sarahschurig6742]

can we get an updated video and play through with no backing track??

[@paulrobbins5696]

Sounds great. What amp are you using?

[@FraserMacphersonmusic]

Paul Robbins thank you! I'm using a fender super champ x2

[@chloedemalmanche6021]

Fantastic! And accurate!

[@FraserMacphersonmusic]

Thank you!

[@caitlin5197]

What effects are you using?

[@FraserMacphersonmusic]

I'm using the reverb setting on my Super Champ X2.

[@terrancethedoobyking3112]

is there any chance you could tab the chords out ?

[@FraserMacphersonmusic]

I do guitar lessons via Skype if you're interested and I can explain it better! Drop me a message if so.

[@BandCalledTheSleep]
