Notes

Studio recording, 2011 era for 'Everybody's On The Run' (Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds debut album). Gear confirmed for this era by multiple interviews and pedalboard photos. ES-355 is Noel's primary studio guitar for this album. Hiwatt Custom 50W confirmed as main amp for NGHFB studio/live 2011-2013. Pedalboard includes Pete Cornish SS-2, SIB Echodrive, Strymon TimeLine, Kingsley Page Tube Boost, Keeley Compressor. No evidence of Marshall being used on this specific studio track, but possible for live. All settings and effects refer to the SOLO section (distorted, heavy tone).

Difficulty

The solo requires expressive melodic phrasing, precise bending, and control of sustain and ambience, but does not involve advanced speed or complex technical runs.
