Studio recording, 1994. Noel Gallagher is confirmed to have used a Fender Telecaster and Marshall JCM900 for the riff section of 'Digsy's Dinner' on the Definitely Maybe album. No evidence of additional pedals or effects for the riff section; amp distortion is the primary source of gain.

Difficulty

The riff is straightforward but played at a fast tempo with tight, aggressive strumming and requires good control of palm muting and chord transitions.
