Notes

Studio recording, 1996-1997, Freak Show album sessions. PRS Custom 22 was Daniel Johns' main guitar for Drop D songs including 'Freak'. Soldano SLO-100 confirmed as main amp for this era. No evidence of additional pedals or effects for the riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight palm muting, aggressive picking, and Drop D power chord shapes, but is not technically advanced beyond intermediate rhythm skills.
