Noel's guitar made by Artist Pete Mckee, can be found here.

Description:
Acrylic and emulsion paints on fiberglass, signed by Noel Gallagher.
3100 mm by 1070 mm

The emotional impact of McKee's work cannot be underestimated - like a faded photograph found at the back of a drawer - the artist's work brings to life people, places and characters that time has all but erased. Mods, rockers, British seaside holidays, chopper bikes, working men's clubs, factory girls and teddy boys are just some of the subjects that live on in the world of Pete Mckee. Since his first exhibition in a Sheffield pub in 2005 Pete has had over ten solo exhibitions, showing in New York, London, Dublin, Brighton and Saltaire.- www.petemckee.com
Of the process the artist says:

"It was great to Have Noels direct involvement with the guitar and he was very keen to make sure all the records and bands he chose reflected his influences as a lad learning to play guitar, to the point that underneath a couple of the sleeves lie rejected choices only he and I know about."

Gibson GuitarTown London is a community art project aimed at bringing the community of London together through art, music and charitable giving. Through The Gibson Foundation, the proceeds from ticket sales to the event on Thursday, November 8th, and the sale of the guitars at auction will benefit three non-profit organizations. The benefiting organizations are: The Prince's Trust, Teenage Cancer Trust and Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy. Thank you for your generous support of these organizations by participating in the auction and attending the event.

Oasis To Release New Single In Three Weeks

The Gallaghers embrace the digital age with 'Lord Don't Slow Me Down'

Oasis have broken their vow to have a year off and will release a new single in three weeks' time.

The Noel Gallagher fronted track from their first ever digital-only release on October 21.

The song will be available from the band's website www.oasisinet.com, and comes bundled with two live songs from their City Of Manchester Stadium gigs in 2005. A video for the song will appear on YouTube from October 1, the same day the song debuts on radio.

Noel explained he felt the song was good enough to go on a album, but included it in the documentary instead. "It's good and rocking - just 12 bar blues really," he said. "It's got left off the last album as it was the same verse all the way through, but it's kind of locked into that now as it appears at the end of the film."

The song's bluesy feel reflects the Oasis leader's current listening tastes. "I probably listen to Neil Young and Bob Dylan more than any other artists," he explained before revealing how his songwriting process works these days.

"One day you hit a chord - let's say A minor, the saddest chord of all and it won't mean f**k all. The next day you're in a different head space and it will sound completely different," he said. "Usually I start with a chord on the guitar and if the first line pops into your head you realise you're going to make a fortune soon!"

Meanwhile, the DVD of Lord Don't Slow Me Down will be out on October 29. Noel explained that the documentary was an accident, as Oasis had only intended to make one video with director Baillie Walsh.

"Baillie started making a video for 'Let There Be Love' and he thought the stuff was so great he convinced us to let him come on the road for nine months, " stated Noel. "I was concerned because the years of kissing the sky and drinking champagne out of cowboy boots at 10am are gone. He just said he'd tell it like it is - and this is it!"

Noel added that a film of the 'Be Here Now' tour would have been very different. "That's the greatest thing I've ever been involved in with the band, "he declared.

"We toured the globe as the biggest band in the world and everything you could possibly want you got two of!"

Noel Gallagher Wore Leathers During Birth

Noel Gallagher reveals that he wore his leather jacket throughout his wife's childbirth at the weekend.

The Oasis guitarist told Radio 1 DJ Chris Moyles that he just stood nearby and nodded while his wife was in labour with their son Donovan.

Gallagher commented: "I was there. It was all right for me but my missus was giving me a bit of stick afterwards, saying, 'You never took your jacket off all the way through!'

"I was in my leather jacket, nodding 'You’ll be all right - just get it out before Soccer AM finishes.' I think the worst thing is that you don’t have any specific role. You just stand there and nod."

Noel Gallagher Reveals The Story Behind 'Lord Don't Slow Me Down'

Noel Gallagher has told NME.COM the history behind the band's forthcoming single 'Lord Don't Slow Me Down'.

As reported yesterday (September 24), Oasis are set to release their first ever digital-only single. The track will be released on October 21.

Speaking to NME.COM, Oasis leader Noel Gallagher declared that the track is not simply a throwaway song he had hanging around, but one that he was considering for an album before it got linked to the band's tour documentary of the same name.

"That got left off the last album because it was the same verse all the way until the end," he explained, "but it's kind of locked into that (the documentary) now because it appears at the end of the film."

Gallagher added that he was particularly pleased with the direction the song was taking the band.

"It's quite rocking," he declared. "It's just 12 bar blues really, but it's good."

Meanwhile the film 'Lord Don't Slow Me Down' is released on DVD on October 29.
