Not heard of him either, but a YT search revealed a tune called "Someone You Loved".

A squeaky voice, and a chord progression that is everywhere these days : a I / IV / vi / V, so in this case a C# / G# / Bm / F#

Here is how one can craft a tune:-

Yebbut, diatonically that doesn't strictly work. In a major key the I, IV and V will be major chords but the vi will be minor. Of course, you could use borrowed chords from a relative major or minor, or do a plagal shift from - say - a perfect 5th to a major 4th to a minor 4th before resolving to the tonic chord (a Beatles favourite, that was).

I suppose what I was trying to say is that any combination of a root / fourth / fifth / minor 6th chord progression - these days - has been done to death. Something different, for example, would be to devise a tune in the key of G major where the verse uses the minor 2nd / major 4th / perfect 5th and only resolves to G in the chorus.

Awful song, have to switch the radio off when that tripe starts playing.
Awful lyrics, awful voice, awful song,
miserable and depressing.
Pure ste.

Gallagher got his arse handed to him in their spat.


I'm not a fan, but he's clearly doing something right given his popularity here and abroad.

One of his songs made number 1 in the US after spending 6 months in the chart.

Before he popped up having a dig I'd assumed he was dead.
Capaldi loved it
