Notes

Studio recording, 1995/1996. Confirmed by interviews and bandmate statements that Noel Gallagher used a Stratocaster for the recording of 'Don't Look Back in Anger' riff section. Amp is widely reported as a Vox AC30 for this era and song. No evidence of Marshall or Hiwatt for this specific track's riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires solid rhythm skills, dynamic control, and tight timing with the delay, but does not involve advanced lead techniques or fast picking.
