About this riff
The main riff is built on chunky power chords driven by heavily overdriven guitar, so it's very approachable for beginners working on their picking attack and downstrokes. In standard tuning, the appeal is less about finger gymnastics and more about nailing the raw, distorted tone and the tight dynamic shift between the quieter verse and the explosive chorus. It's a great song for practicing distortion control and keeping a solid rhythm at around 130 BPM.
Did you know?
According to Graham Coxon, 'Song 2' was intended as a joke aimed at the band's record company, a deliberately noisy, grunge-flavoured track that they didn't expect to take seriously. It ended up becoming one of Blur's biggest international hits, peaking at number two on the UK Singles Chart and reaching the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks top ten in the US.
