Ronson Hits Back At Gallagher

Superproducer MARK RONSON has responded to OASIS star NOEL GALLAGHER's attack on his talent by joking he has taken lessons from his rival JAY-Z.

Gallagher slammed Ronson for covering other artists' songs - insisting he should write his own tracks.

But Ronson reignited Gallagher's highly publicised row with Jay-Z by joking that he was taking guitar lessons from the rapper.

He wrote on his blog, "Noel Gallagher said I should 'learn three chords on the guitar and go write a tune'. So I just wanted him to know that I'm actually taking guitar lessons from Jay-Z right now and he's already taught me both chords to Wonderwall.

"In fact, it's so much fun having Jay teach me all of Noel's songs on the guitar (hooray!) that I'm thinking of doing an Oasis remix album a la 'The Grey Album'. Potential titles are 'Champagne Superhova' or 'Definitely Jay Z'. I'll keep you posted."

Gallagher hit the headline earlier this year (08) after claiming Jay-Z had no place at U.K. rock festival Glastonbury.
