Notes

Studio recording, 2006-2007 (In Rainbows sessions). No explicit confirmation of amp model or pedals for the riff section. Ed O'Brien is known to use a Squier Stratocaster for this song live, but no direct evidence for the studio recording. No evidence of EBow or Klon Centaur on the riff section; those are associated with other songs or live versions.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate skill due to its syncopated rhythm, use of alternate tuning, and the need for dynamic control to maintain the song's tight, percussive feel.
