Notes

Ed O'Brien is seen playing a Fernandes Native Pro in live performances of 'All I Need' (e.g., 2008-2012 era). No direct confirmation of studio amp; live rigs often use Fender or Vox amps. Studio recording year: 2007 (In Rainbows). No explicit evidence of amp model or settings for the studio version.

Difficulty

The riff requires careful volume swells and timing to achieve the ambient, blooming effect, but the chord shapes and rhythm are not technically difficult.
