I saw these guys play the Big Day Out for the first time and I was watching Matt the
time and im pretty sure this is how he plays this. I don’t particularly like this version
the A and Em chords don’t sound as chunky as the power chord version. Enjoy

Matt Stroobant plays with a blues distortion, fuzz and also fuzz-wah so it helps with
sound if you have a version of these but a single fuzz pedal combined with amp gain will
fine.

Now theres a wah solo in here but I don’t have the right pedals but there is lots of
and I think it uses a 10-12 pentatonic scale.
