Notes

Studio recording, 1997. Gear inferred from era, interviews, and period photos. No direct source confirms exact amp model for this track, but Marshall JCM900/Super Lead is most probable for the main riff. No evidence of pedal use for the riff section; effects are likely from amp or studio. Settings estimated based on genre, era, and typical Oasis rig for this song.

Difficulty

The riff is based on open chords with straightforward strumming, but requires good timing and dynamic control to achieve the signature Oasis wall-of-sound effect.
