Notes

Studio recording, 1993-1994 era for 'Definitely Maybe' (Remastered version uses original takes). Noel Gallagher used his Epiphone Les Paul Standard into a Marshall JCM900 for the main distorted rhythm tracks. No evidence of live/touring substitutions for the studio recording.

Difficulty

The riff requires solid rhythm skills, fast power chord changes, and tight muting for the classic Oasis punch, but does not involve advanced techniques or complex chord voicings.
