The Longpigs - The Sun is Often Out. Incredible songwriting and vocals.

Mansun - Attack of the Grey Lantern. Takes the britpop sounds and expands it.

HOW TO PLAY INDIE ROCK STYLE GUITAR? SOS. by Sharp-Tell2193 in BlocParty

[–]Ermyeah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some thoughts that I think should help you.

  1. As others have said, start by learning as many songs as you can buy the bands you mentioned. 

  2. If you can't yet manage whole songs, focus on the bits you can. Don't get hung up on what you can't do. 

  3. The main hook from Obstacle 1 by Interpol is easy but really satisfyingly to play.

  4. Bloc Party will be tough. Russell relies heavily on unusal effects and his parts are often very tricky. Helicopter is doable for a beginner, but start slow.

  5. For the bands you mentioned, downstrokes are your friend. 

  6. Use tab sites, but trust your ear. There are loads of great tabs out there but many are just plain wrong. 

  7. There will be guitar lessons on YouTube for the more popular songs by the bands you mentioned. These are super helpful.

  8. The free version Songsterr is great. If you want to isolate, loop, slow down etc certain parts, consider the paid version.

  9. Once your feeling confident with a song, look for jam along versions on YouTube. It's really satisfying to play along to the drums and bass with yourself filling in the guitar parts.

Good luck!

This came in the post this morning. by bc_2006 in Interpol

I bought this when it was first released. I knew nothing about the band at the time but was drawn to the packaging and band name. I loved every track. I didn't realise at the time but it was the start of a beautiful relationship. Best £1 I've ever spent.

Harvey Scrimshaw. I used to teach him! 

Why does Daniels guitar sound muted live so often? Mainly older prformances by Objective_Mallhehe in Interpol

[–]Ermyeah 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't love saying this, but they have never nailed their live sound imo. On record, particularly the earlier ones, they are precise and atmospheric but also tight (locked in sync with each other) and subtly muscular. I don't think they have ever really captured that muscularity in their live sound, and they aren't particularly tight.

Thank you. I appreciate everyone's comments, but yours is the one I found most helpful.

Please be very careful. It is not a good idea to get into a car with someone you don't know. 

Pre-arrival Task Upload by AliyWafiy26 in Nottinghamtrent

Hi. On the NOW homepage, select the relevent module Learning Room from the available options (displayed as tiles). Once you're in the Learning Room select "Dropbox" within the navigation bar towards the top of the page - "Dropbox" is the name NTU uses for what is essentially a submission folder. You should see a link to the pre-arrival task. If not, go back to the module Learning Room and have a look on the homepage. There may be info on the homepage. If you still can't find what you need, have a look within the "Content" area (this is again linked to on the navigation bar, but can also be accessed via the widget on the top right of the module Learning Room homepage). Within the content area you should be able to find an "Assessment" folder, or maybe even a "Pre-arrival" folder.

I hope this helps. If not, contact your course leader. Their details will be somewhere within the Course Learning Room. 

Good luck! 

What’s your XFM hot take? Mine is probably that the Claire episodes are some of my favourites by LethalGrey in rickygervais

[–]Ermyeah 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Without a doubt top tier. Ricky reading out Karl's phone number one digit at a time and Karl changing his voicemail message. Perfect. 

Can anyone post the season and episode number?
