Far Behind

"Far Behind" is a rock track by Candlebox, released as the third single from their self-titled debut album. It entered the charts in August 1994 and became the band's highest-charting hit, peaking at #18 on the Billboard Hot 100 after nearly a year on the chart. The song is a strong choice for electric guitar players looking to explore the grunge-influenced alternative rock sound that defined the mid-1990s, featuring dynamic shifts between clean and driven tones.

  • "Far Behind" reached #4 on Billboard's Album Rock Tracks chart, reflecting its strong presence on rock radio in 1994.
  • The song spent almost a full year on the Billboard Hot 100, an unusually long chart run for a rock single of that era.
  • Running just under five minutes, the track gives guitarists room to explore its dynamic, grunge-influenced structure from intro to fade.

Peter Klett's Les Paul Standard delivers the thick, warm mahogany tone that defines Candlebox's signature crunch sound. Its stock humbuckers and set neck construction provide the sustain and midrange richness essential for the band's dynamic clean-to-heavy shifts.

Klett favored the Custom for its premium construction and tonal warmth, using it to capture Candlebox's vocal-like lead passages and smooth rhythm crunch. The Custom's refined pickups and resonance enhance both the gentle arpeggios and heavy power chords the band is known for.

In later years, Klett turned to the PRS Custom 24 for its versatility and ability to nail Candlebox's range from clean shimmer to driven aggression. Its responsive pickups and flexible electronics allowed him to maintain his signature tone across different studio and live situations.

The JCM800 was Klett's tone foundation during Candlebox's classic era, delivering natural tube breakup at moderate-to-high gain that cleaned up perfectly with volume knob control. This amp's warm, singing crunch became inseparable from hits like 'Far Behind' and the band's overall heavy grunge-informed sound.
