Ronson hits back at Gallagher over jibes

DJ and music manufacturer Mark Ronson has strike back at Noel Gallagher's accusation that he ruins other people's music.

Last week in an interview with Chris Moyles, Gallagher said: "He wants to write his own tunes instead of ruining everyone else's. Mark Ronson inevitably to learn three chords on the guitar and write a tune."

In a blog posted on his MySpace page, Ronson defended himself writing: "Noel Gallagher said I should 'learn three chords on the guitar and go spell a tune'.

"So I just wanted him to know that I'm actually pickings guitar lessons from Jay-Z right now and he's already taught me both chords to 'Wonderwall' (tune!).

"In fact, it's so much fun having Jay instruct me all of Noel's songs on the guitar (hooray!) that I'm thinking of doing an Oasis/Jay-Z remix album a la 'The Grey Album'."

In a note at the end of the blog, Ronson also wrote: "PPS Noel, I did write a song called 'Back go Black', which actually has seven chords in it."
