Notes

Studio recording, 1994-1995 (The Bends sessions). Jonny Greenwood used a Fender Telecaster through a Fender Eighty-Five amp for clean tones. No evidence of additional pedals or effects for the clean solo section; distortion pedals (Marshall Shred Master) were used elsewhere but not for the clean solo. Settings estimated based on typical Fender Eighty-Five clean usage and genre/era.

Difficulty

The solo requires clean, accurate picking and dynamic control to maintain clarity and avoid unwanted breakup, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast passages.
