Notes

Studio recording, 1994 (What's The Story Morning Glory sessions). No evidence of live variation for this song's clean solo. All sources point to the WEM Dominator for clean tones in this era, with minimal pedal use except for occasional delay/echo on leads.

Difficulty

The solo is straightforward with simple melodic lines and requires clean picking and timing to match the subtle tape echo, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast passages.
