Notes

Studio recording, 1987 (single mix). John Squire was known to use a Gretsch Country Gentleman with Supertron pickups and a Vox AC30 for early Stone Roses singles. No direct source confirms the exact amp for 'Sally Cinnamon', but this is the most consistently cited pairing for this era and sound. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars for the solo section.

Difficulty

The solo is melodic and moderately paced, requiring clean articulation and subtle use of modulation effects. Some phrasing and slides add challenge, but there are no advanced techniques or high speed runs.
