Notes

Studio recording for 'Neon Ballroom' (1998). Daniel Johns was known to use a Gibson Les Paul Standard into a Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier for the heaviest Silverchair riffs of this era. No direct evidence of pedals or alternate amps for this song's riff section. Settings estimated based on genre, era, and amp type.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, aggressive palm muting and fast alternate picking in a drop-tuned setting, demanding precision and stamina for the heavy, percussive rhythm.
