Notes

Studio recording, 1996-1997, OK Computer sessions. Ed O'Brien played the clean riff section with a Rickenbacker 360/6 and a capo, through an Audio Kitchen Big Chopper amp. No evidence of additional pedals or effects for the clean riff. Settings estimated based on typical clean tones for this amp and genre.

Difficulty

The riff is technically straightforward but requires careful clean picking, accurate capo placement, and consistent dynamics to achieve the iconic bell-like tone.
