Wonderwall
Wonderwall's guitar tone is a wall of jangly, layered acoustic and electric guitar. The electric guitar parts use an Epiphone Riviera semi-hollow through a Marshall, producing a bright, chiming rhythm tone. The semi-hollow body adds natural resonance and airiness, while the Marshall provides just enough crunch to give the chords bite without overwhelming the song's delicate melodic quality. Multiple guitar layers and a capo create the signature Britpop wall of sound.
