They toss some of those fills in at 0:43, 0:57, and 1:09. The only difference is they don't fade like they did in the beginning.

Reach me at kunjust@lycoming.edu Date: Wed, 2 Apr 1997 14:29:22 -0500 (EST) From: Fred Lidskog Subject: TAB: Champagne Supernova by Oasis "Champagne Supernova", written by Noel Gallagher, performed by Oasis. Song can be found on the album "(What's the Story) Morning Glory?" and has been released in the U.S. as a single. Note: There's a whole lot of stuff going on in this song (including 3 guitars), so I've tried to transcribe everything. The 1st guitar (Bonehead) is acoustic-sounding during all verses and the 1st chorus and plays with distortion only during the 2nd & 3rd choruses, the bridges, and musical interlude. The second guitar (Noel) plays the intro solo and the fills during all the verses and pre-choruses with a muffled effect, and plays little solo parts with a dirty-sounding distortion. The 3rd guitar (Paul Weller, I believe) steps in with a cleaner but heavier distortion to play the guitar solo during the musical interlude. Chords used: EADGBe Asus2 (x02200) [NOTE: will be listed a #1 for short in solo parts] Asus2/G (3x2200) [" " " #2] Asus2/F# (2x2200) [#3] Asus2/E (0x2200) [#4] A (x02220) [" " " #1b] G (3x0033) [" " "

when playing all verses and the first chorus] Tab Key: s = slide / = long downward slide b = bend (5b6 means bend the string at the 5th fret to make the note the string would make at the 6th fret with no bend) r = release bend (H) = harmonic h = hammer on p = pull off ^ = let note ring while making the note "vibrate" In the following places where "Riff 1" is listed, play this: G2

would suggest listening to the song and learning exactly when the soloing guitar plays which notes relative to when the rhythym guitar changes chords. Then, follow along with this transcription to hear the rhythym of the fills and the riffs during the solo relative to the chord changes.]
