Waterfall by The Stone Roses

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.

As always, the TAB is below the video and I've also included my amp settings to get this tone at the bottom of this page!

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.
