Notes
Studio recording, 2006-2007 (In Rainbows sessions). Ed O'Brien is confirmed to use a Telecaster and EBow for the clean riff in 'Nude'. Jonny Greenwood's part is less prominent in the clean riff. No evidence of heavy effects or distortion in the clean section.

Difficulty
The clean riff in 'Nude' requires intermediate skill due to the use of the EBow for sustained, expressive notes and the need for subtle dynamic control to maintain the song's ethereal, floating character.
