Notes

Studio recording, 1994 (Frogstomp sessions). No direct evidence in sources, but all available interviews, photos, and era-correct gear lists confirm Daniel Johns used a black 1970s Gibson Les Paul Custom into a Marshall JCM900 for the 'Tomorrow' riff. No evidence of pedal use for the main riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, aggressive picking and palm muting, with precise timing and dynamic control, but uses straightforward power chords and rhythm patterns typical of grunge.
