Notes

Studio recording, 1996-1997 for 'Beetlebum' (2012 Remaster is a remaster of the original 1997 recording). Graham Coxon is known to have used a Les Paul Custom and Marshall Plexi for this era and song. No evidence of live/tour gear being used in the studio for this track.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight rhythmic control and dynamic picking to maintain clarity through heavy fuzz/distortion, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast tempo.
