Throughout the entire song Thom plays mainly a bass note and and high melody notes that really fucks up the harmonies and gives that weird and frustrating sound, which is very characteristic for Radiohead as well. "Hail To The Thief" (recommended!) is a great example of this. If these weird notes were to be added the chords, it'd really spice things up:
These notes are played in the verses and prechorus at some point, but just add as many small melodies (these are very small) as possible as it gives this extra momentum to the guitar that usually only play chords, go for it!
