Notes
Studio recording, 1995. Guitar and amp confirmed by multiple sources for the 'Some Might Say' era. Pedals and effects chain inferred from rig rundowns and audible effects in the solo section. Settings estimated based on typical Oasis/JCM900 usage and forum consensus for the solo sound.

The solo requires intermediate lead technique, with melodic phrasing, accurate bends, and sustaining notes over a crunchy Britpop backing. Not technically demanding but requires good control and feel.
