Just some simple strumming om this very special guitar. At that point it had old rotten strings and I hadn't gotten to know the instrument ...

7 Prep Steps For Recording Acoustic Guitar - Bobby Owsinski's Big ...

It may seem obvious, but putting on a fresh set of strings may help alleviate any potentially problematic issues such as tuning and a lackluster tone. Don’t be lazy about this because unless you’re going for a dull sound, a fresh set of string will make the instrument resonate stronger, and therefore sound better to the microphones placed around it. Recordings are snapshots of time, and you won’t want to listen back after that magic performance and wish you had a clearer, brighter sound because you didn’t change your strings. With an electric guitar, you can compensate slightly for dead strings by turning the treble up on the amp. No such luck when recording an acoustic, unless you choose to run it through an amp, of course. Also, fresh strings will hold the guitar’s tuning longer, which in turn will make for a smoother recording session. You can even put a little graphite from a pencil in the nut slots to let the strings move a bit easier. Tune your guitar...

Noel Gallagher  has said he hopes to perform with former Britpop rival Damon Albarn at the Teenage Cancer Trust gig he is curating in 2013.

Speaking to Xfm's Dan O'Connell, Gallagher said, "They were one of the first people that I asked - if Blur could do it - because Damon had always said that he'd like to do it, they've tried to get Gorillaz once or twice but could never quite make it work. It was a shame Blur couldn't do it."

 He continued, "I dunno how they're gonna do it... I think Damon plays piano and Graham plays guitar and they'll do a load of Blur songs and everyone has a great night.

"I wouldn't be adverse to getting up with them and playing Tender though - that being one of my favourite Blur songs."

When it was pointed out that this wouldn't have been a likely statement to hear fifteen years ago, Gallagher undoubtedly agreed.

He added, "What would I have said in '97? There would have been swear words involved. Definitely."
