Notes

Studio recording for 'Neon Ballroom' (1998-1999). PRS Custom 22 was Daniel Johns' main guitar for Drop D/C# songs in this era. Amp model inferred from genre, era, and typical Silverchair studio setup; no direct photo evidence for this specific song but consistent with period. No evidence of live rig or alternate amp for this recording.

Difficulty

The riff is rhythmically straightforward but requires tight palm muting, precise power chord changes, and control over high-gain noise, making it moderately challenging for intermediate players.
