Notes

Studio recording, 1994 (Definitely Maybe sessions). Guitar confirmed by Equipboard and Reddit sources as Johnny Marr's 1960 spec Les Paul Standard. Amp not explicitly confirmed, but all evidence and era point to Marshall stack. No evidence of pedalboard use for this solo in studio; live rigs differ.
