Notes

Studio recording, 1997 (2012 remaster is a remaster of the original 1997 recording). No direct confirmation of amp model for the studio session; live, Coxon often used Marshall amps. Guitar confirmed as Fender Telecaster Custom. Settings and pedals are for the riff section only.

Difficulty

The riff is straightforward but requires tight, aggressive strumming in Drop D and good control of palm muting and dynamics to match the recording's punch.
