Notes

Studio recording, likely 2022-2023 for The Smile's 'Trust Device'. All evidence points to Jonny Greenwood using his classic Telecaster Plus with Lace Sensors into a Fender Eighty-Five for riff tones, as in previous Radiohead and Smile recordings. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for this specific track/section.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, fast alternate picking, dynamic palm muting, and precise use of effects (octave shifts), making it challenging for most players.
