Here's how to play the classic song 'Waterfall' by The Stone Roses on guitar! This is a great riff for beginners. You will need a capo at 4th fret for it to sound the same as the original, but it will sound fine without a capo too, it'll just be in a lower key.

Amp Settings

Here I've gone for a Vox AC30 style amplifier with some reverb.

I also used a hint of an effect called 'Vibe', which is a phaser type effect that creates a chorus and vibrato simulation similar to that used on organs.
