Notes
Studio recording, 1993-1994. Main riff section. Noel Gallagher's setup at the time was very simple, with the amp set just at the edge of breakup. Acoustic guitar also layered in recording, but electric Les Paul is primary for riff. No evidence of pedal use for the riff section.

Difficulty
The riff is based on open chords and straightforward strumming, but requires dynamic control and consistent attack to achieve the signature Britpop feel.
