Notes
Studio recording, 1997 (OK Computer sessions). Guitar and amp choice inferred from Jonny Greenwood's documented studio rig for OK Computer era and multiple forum sources. No direct evidence of alternate guitar/amp for the solo section of 'Let Down'.

The solo requires intermediate skill due to its syncopated phrasing, use of multiple effects for texture, and the need for precise picking to maintain note clarity within a dense mix.
