Why is the STONE ROSES guitar playing so interesting? (John Squire guitar lesson)

John Squire is one of the best guitarists in the British indie rock scene. But, what makes the stone roses guitar playing so interesting. In this Stone Roses (John Squire) guitar lesson, I want to explore how he structures jis guitar playing into flowing and melodic rhythm guitar parts. If you like the stone roses this is the John Squire guitar lesson you want to see.

Brilliant that mate. He's an artist, a painter, and that's how he plays. Maybe that's why his playing has such longevity and we still sit in awe of it. Its colours, shade, texture and brush strokes, not notes and chords.

[@DaveyH]

Very well put mate 👍🏼👍🏼🎸🎸

[@briandrew7277]

well said mate.

[@numba2bvi]

Such an excellent explanation -so true!

[@allmodcons6570]

John Squire is my most favourite guitarist of all time!

[@DaveyH]

Such a unique way of approaching playing. A real master at crafting parts to fit the songs 👍🏼🎸

[@Crinkle65]

Marr, Squire, Greenwood. Absolute guitar Geniuses. Well done mate.

[@DaveyH]

So true! Thanks pal

Thanks for highlighting Squire and his guitar work. He is one of the few people that I give the genius label to.

Thanks for watching 😊👍🏼🎸

[@davybean8981]

Great video. What teachers don't understand sometimes, is we just want to know what our favourite guitarists are doing, and what they are doing it with. Nothing more, nothing less.

[@DaveyH]

Thanks pal 👍🏼🎸

[@aaronsladek1339]

My favorite guitarists are the ones who blend rhythm and lead playing. Their stuff is just so fun to play. Ian D'Sa from Billy Talent is another player who is the sole guitarist for his band and he blends these two roles so well.

[@DaveyH]

Completely agree, it’s a style that really lends itself to being really inventive 👍🏼🎸

[@user-ph1xw5bs1r]

I have always like the Roses. My favorite guitar player is Gary Moore. It wasn't until recently that John's playing really caught my ear, and I began to appreciate his chord structuring and playing. He doesn't just shred his way through a song, and I quite like that. Now I am hooked forever and am a super fan. Johnny Marr, Steve Jones and Mick Ronson are some of my other favorite Brit guitarists.

[@nathanb9186]

Really enjoyed this. Definitely so much you can learn from him. Great vid 🎸

[@DaveyH]

Thanks Nathan. He’s an inspiration 👍🏼🎸

[@numba2bvi]

I love his solo albums for the great acoustic tracks. His voice not so much, I don’t fault him for this though-only reason I mention this is I wish he would have done more instrumentals. His playing is eccentric

[@runandraisans6055]

He said the first album he used a lot of Hendrix chords from Hendrix’s albums

[@DaveyH]

Yeah you can tell, and he’s managed to use them in completely his own way 👍🏼🎸

@@DaveyH I learnt the seahorses love is the law intro years ago it's a great tune and today I was just going over it again re learning the chords and he has loads of little licks thrown in I'm not the most competent of players but the way you explained that helped me understand it a bit more I had a quick tinker just now but unfortunately it's too late to crank my amp but I'll be on it tomorrow the key is melody

Did John watch, I hope so. His guitar work changed my life for the better. It lifts you up like all good music should.

[@DaveyH]

It really does

[@matthewjdouglas6471]

​@DaveyH when I hear people speak negatively about the stone roses it really makes me feel quite unhappy. The music just screams originality. I was a only 10 years old when their debut was released. It wasn't until about 1993 that I found a cassette tape in a kitchen drawer in me mam's kitchen. It wasn't an album just a single. I have a feeling that what the world is waiting for was a bside. I could be mistaken though. I new they were going to be good from the art work. After my freinds dad let us go through his 💿 CD collection I found a world of unexplored music, from the Jam, b'52s talking heads and johnny thunders heartbreakers the clash the smith's. I was hooked x

this song has a god save the queen vibe about it. the chorus is very similar. its also in drop D. there is a piano doubling the last A on the bass in the chorus that can only really be heard with headphones.

[@DaveyH]

I love how he uses layers like that. Superb 👍🏼🎸

squire and bonehad are definitely two criminally underrated musicians in the guitar world - thanks for this video! what guitar is that you use? is it an artcore?

Very true. Thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed it. Yeah it’s an Ibanez as73 (I think) 👍🏼🎸

[@kianhitchings9996]

@@musicl0ver543 I see where you’re coming from but did you see me comparing them? I was simply stating they are good musicians. Plus, Liam himself has said something along the lines of “all of us, bar bonehead are useless”

[@sunilcunningham3080]

Good video subject and informative, but the camera moving about zooming and jumping in out with the fret positions makes this video difficult to concentrate on. It doesn't need to be filmed like its an action sequence. :)

[@MisterBrain]

I'm still annoyed by his comment that he "wasn't much of a guitar player." As someone who's _still_ trying to play What the World is Waiting For properly, I beg to differ.

[@DaveyH]

Too right…he’s an awesome guitar player 👍🏼🎸

[@masonangel_1]

I always thought John squires playing in the stone roses was very very good but in the seahorses I feel like he let himself off the chain and went more Jimmy page and just played whatever he wanted and maybe overplayed but love is the law what a guitar track that is man 🎸🎸

[@Tyt130]

He plays this with a capo on the 2nd in drop D. He uses open chords also and not power chords.

[@DaveyH]

Thanks Tom, much appreciated. I know, you are 100% correct. But, he also plays this song without a capo in standard tuning in the majority of the live shows that you can watch online. But either way it doesn’t matter as this wasn’t a tutorial on how to play this song. It is simply an ode to a master and an appreciation of his guitar playing. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment, it really means a lot, from one John squire fan to another 👍🏼🎸🤘

[@TheJoseph5117]

And this is nothing like how he played this song. Where did you get your info ? Tab books.

[@DaveyH]

Thanks. But this was not a lesson on how he plays any songs (I’m a bit surprised you thought it was a tutorial on how to play a song). It’s an ode to a master. So I know I didn’t get the one song I used as a reference 100% correct. I worked it out from a mixture of watching him play it live and from listening to the recording. I’m glad you enjoyed it 👍🏼🎸

[@waynesilverman3048]

He played similar on garage flower as well like tell me like 2 strings at once or 3
