Notes

Studio recording, 1997. Noel Gallagher is documented using the Epiphone Sheraton with mini-humbuckers and Marshall JCM900 for clean tones on Oasis B-sides of this era. No evidence of AC30 or other amps on this specific track's clean section. Settings are estimated based on typical Marshall clean tones for Britpop studio recordings.

Difficulty

The riff requires clean, articulate chord work with some syncopation and dynamic control to avoid unwanted breakup or muddiness, but does not involve advanced techniques.
