Notes

Studio recording, 2003 (album 'A Natural Disaster' released 2003). Daniel Cavanagh is known to use a Fender Stratocaster for clean, ambient tones. No direct evidence of exact amp model for the studio recording of 'Flying' clean riff section. Effects likely provided via pedalboard and/or studio post-processing.
