What controller does Jonny Greenwood have on his wrist during the Chicago Metro gig? He uses it on Anyone Can Play Guitar, and it is not a wrist brace, it has pots that he changes and 2 green flashing lights.

The device Jonny used at the Chicago Metro show is an electronic finger massager. It’s very similar, but not identical, to one patented by the Sharper Image in 1991. You can find the patent here, which includes a drawing. Here’s a sold eBay listing with one identical to the one in the patent.

The same massager from the patent is already listed on Jonny’s page, though I can understand how you might’ve missed the Other Effects section. So it’s interesting to note that the version used in Chicago was a later variation of the device with lights and an extra knob, and Jonny used both versions.
