Notes

Studio recording, 1995. Guitar is the Epiphone Sheraton with mini-humbuckers, as seen in official photos and interviews for the album. Amp is Marshall JCM900, confirmed as Noel's main studio amp for this era. Effects are primarily pedal-based, not amp-based. No evidence of Hiwatt or Vox AC30 on this specific recording.

Difficulty

The riff is based on open chords and straightforward strumming, but requires attention to dynamics and layering for the signature Britpop shimmer and ambient feel.
