Notes
Studio recording, 1994-1995 era. Used for the main riff section of 'Some Might Say (Remastered)'. No evidence of live/touring gear or alternate guitars for this section. Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs also used an Epiphone Riviera through Marshall stacks for rhythm parts.

Difficulty
The riff requires tight, consistent strumming and quick chord changes, but does not involve advanced lead techniques or complex fingerings. The main challenge is maintaining the rhythmic drive and articulation characteristic of the Britpop sound.
