Spellbound - Songs from John McGeoch's SG1000 Guitar.. video free download
Here I am attempting to play Spellbound on John McGeoch's guitar, his late 70's Yamaha SG1000. Spellbound was actually written on this very guitar and it features in the Spellbound video by Siouxsie & The Banshees. Spellbound is probably his most famous guitar riff of all...and one of my favourites..it's a truly amazing piece of guitar creativity..and very hard to play smoothly!
P.S. In my day job I play in the band Orange Yellow Red.

You think it's "not too bad" - I think it's brilliant. McGeoch was an utter genius and I think you've done him justice here.11 years ago
