Notes

Studio recording, 1996-1997. Gear confirmed for 'Be Here Now' era and visible in period-correct live footage and interviews. Marshall SV20C and Hiwatt Custom 50 are later additions and not used on this recording. No evidence of pedalboard effects in the studio for this riff section; distortion is primarily amp-based.

Difficulty

The riff is rhythmically straightforward but requires tight timing, aggressive strumming, and control over a high-gain, saturated tone to avoid muddiness and feedback.
