Notes
Studio recording, 1997-1998 ('So Much for the Afterglow' album). Guitar and amp inferred from period-correct gear, video evidence, and genre. No direct studio documentation found for this specific song, but Les Paul + Marshall stack is consistent with Everclear's sound and video appearances.

The riff is based on straightforward power chords and rhythm, but requires tight muting and dynamic picking to capture the punchy, articulate sound of the original recording.
