Notes

Studio recording, 1995 (Definitely Maybe era, but Wonderwall is from (What's the Story) Morning Glory? 1995). The main riff is played on a 12-string acoustic (Epiphone EJ-200), plugged in and possibly run through a Marshall JCM900 for added grit. No evidence of electric guitar for the main riff. No pedal use confirmed for the riff section.

Difficulty

The riff is based on open chords with a steady, percussive strumming pattern. While not technically difficult, it requires good timing, muting, and dynamic control to sound authentic.
