Octatonic scales during the solo
editI believe the following sentence from the article is in accurate:
"During the solo, Greenwood plays octatonic scales that extend over four octaves."
The quoted article "Becoming Radiohead" from The New Yorker (https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2001/08/20/the-searchers) does not mention that the octatonic scales are played during the solo, and upon listening to the song I found that the guitar solos are largely pentatonic while during the latter part of the intro and choruses octatonic scales are played. 240B:250:3121:600:948B:E1A2:2B5C:5278 (talk) 04:05, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for catching this. The source says:
In "Just," from "The Bends," the Greenwood brothers play octatonic scales that sprawl over four octaves; the effect is of music looming miles above you.
- I think the mistake was to say this was describing the solo, which isn't what the source says — it's describing the main riff. Popcornfud (talk) 06:26, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
