Notes

Studio recording, 2002-2003 for 'Hail to the Thief'. Jonny Greenwood is known to use the Telecaster Plus with Lace Sensors and a Fender Eighty-Five amp for core Radiohead tones of this era. No direct source confirms this exact setup for 'There, There' riff, but it matches period-correct gear and is widely cited for similar tones. No evidence of Vox AC30 or other amps for this studio recording.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate-level rhythmic precision, alternate tuning familiarity, and dynamic picking control, but does not involve advanced lead techniques or extreme speed.
