Notes

Studio recording, 1994-1995, The Bends album sessions. Jonny Greenwood is widely documented using his Telecaster Plus and Vox AC30 for distorted sections on The Bends. No direct source for the exact solo section, but this is the consensus for the era and song. No evidence of additional amp models or guitars for the solo section.

Difficulty

The solo requires expressive phrasing, dynamic control, and sustain management, but does not involve fast runs or advanced techniques, making it intermediate.
