Notes

Studio recording for 'Hail to the Thief' (2002-2003). Jonny Greenwood is credited for the riff section, typically using his Telecaster through a Vox AC30. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for this section. No explicit evidence of pedals for the riff; glitch effects are more prominent in the solo/outro.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, syncopated picking, precise muting, and adaptation to shifting time signatures, making it moderately challenging for intermediate players.
