Notes
Studio recording, 1994. Jonny Greenwood's main guitar for The Bends era. The solo section features heavy use of effects pedals, especially the Digitech Whammy and Marshall Shredmaster. No evidence of live rig differences for the studio version.

The solo requires advanced pedal coordination (especially with the Whammy), tight control of a saturated, compressed tone, and aggressive, precise picking, making it challenging for most intermediate players.
