Notes

Studio recording, 2007 (In Rainbows era). Jonny Greenwood is known to use the Fender Telecaster Plus with Lace Sensor pickups and a Fender Twin Reverb for clean tones in this period. No direct evidence of pedals or amp settings for the 15 Step riff, but multiple sources reference the clean, compressed, and warm tone typical of this setup.

Difficulty

The riff requires mastery of syncopated rhythms in 5/4, complex chord shapes, and precise picking to achieve the percussive, clean articulation characteristic of the recording.
