Liam Gallagher is eyeing a move into his brother Noel's shoes - he's buffing up his guitar skills to improve his songwriting.
The rocker played the instrument in the video for Oasis' 2003 track Songbird but admits his strumming talents are still at a basic level.
But he wants to increase his songwriting duties with new band Beady Eye - and he's relying on his guitar to make the task easier.
Speaking during a Music on 4 TV special in Britain, Gallagher says, "I've got a little DICtaphone and I play it on that every now and again. If I get something, great.
"I'm self taught. I'm still teaching myself, it could be a long time yet before I get behind a guitar. I do a little bit, keeps me happy, keeps me off the street, but I wouldn't say I'm a guitarist. Just to help me write tunes like this."
