Notes
Studio recording, 1994. Noel Gallagher used an Epiphone Les Paul Standard with stock humbuckers into a cranked Marshall JCM900 for the main riff/rhythm sections of 'Shakermaker'. No evidence of live/touring substitutions or alternate guitars/amps for the studio take.

Difficulty
The riff is based on straightforward open chords and strumming, with the main challenge being consistent timing and dynamic control to get the right crunch from the amp.
