Notes

Studio recording, 1997 (Be Here Now era). Noel Gallagher is documented using the Epiphone Sheraton and Orange OR-120 for the album sessions and tour. No evidence of live/touring substitutions for the main riff section. No pedalboard evidence for this specific song's riff section; focus is on studio setup.

Difficulty

The riff is based on driving power chords with a strong, consistent rhythm and requires stamina for the wall-of-sound approach, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast lead work.
