Before the drums and the other instruments chime in, there‘s a little of this: e----------------------------------------------------------------------------- (B)--5-------------------------------------------------------------------------- (G)--5----2--------------------------------------------------------------------- (D)--5----2---noise------------------------------------------------------------- (A)--3----0---------------0-----------0-------3--5--0--------0--3--0----3--5--0- (E)----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now, we have Noel (Guitar #2) playing some of the parts with a dirty sounding distortion (some parts I don‘t have listed because they are hard to distinguish from the background noise in this song and aren‘t very important to the sound of this song as a whole, anyway), but Paul Weller (guitar #3) does most of the soloing with the cleaner, heavier distortion effect. So, after Bonehead starts his riff, right at the end of the last time through before Paul starts playing, Noel does this: e--------------------------------------------------------------------------- (B)--------------------------------------------------------------------------- (G)-----------7b8--7p5--5-----5----------------------------------------------- (D)------------------------7-----7-------------------------------------------- (A)--------------------------------------------------------------------------- (E)--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Then, Paul: !
