Notes
Studio recording, 1997. Gear based on period-correct interviews and multiple rig rundowns. Main riff is likely Noel Gallagher on Epiphone Sheraton or Les Paul into Vox AC30, possibly double-tracked with Marshall JCM900. No evidence of live rig or post-2010s gear for this recording.

Difficulty
The riff requires solid barre chord technique and rhythmic accuracy, but is not technically demanding beyond tight timing and dynamic control.
