Notes

Studio recording for 'Freak Show' album (1997). Gear confirmed for album era; settings from studio context. Guitar Chalk and Equipboard confirm Les Paul and Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier/Mark IV for this era and album. Pickup position and pedal use based on cited sources and era-typical Silverchair setup.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate skill due to its tight palm muting, aggressive downpicking, and dynamic control to maintain the song's heavy, articulate rhythm.
