The funny thing about Dollars & Cents is that Colin's bass part is in a minor scale throughout the song, so Ed's part makes it constantly resolve and unresolve between a major and minor contradiction. Same thing happens during the Airbag intro. Ed's 3 note line (E-D-C#-D-C#) is in A major, while Jonny's low E string riff fluctuates between major and minor, and ultimately resolves. This tension is what makes their interplay so interesting.

As a drummer who can tell he has a distinct style but can't really explain it, if you made "How to play like Phil Selway" I would literally die and go to heaven!

If I can ever afford it, you're in charge of the museum.

Ed, to me, is the most underrated member of the band.

For a potential pt. 2, consider his gorgeous work on the Basement version of Videotape ;)

"I bring you some MUSEings"

Gorgeous! Oh, how I love Identikit.

What is brilliant about Ed beyond his mad skills, is his harmonic backing vocals that lay the road for Thom’s slippery vocals. Oh, and he’s brilliant at sewing the fabric of seeming chaos that blooms into the beauty that is in every composition. Hats off to you for nailing these sounds. Great video....just getting in the ballpark would have been revealing.

I’d love a Radioheadesque songwriting tips video or something along those lines

This was probably the most useful breakdown for me so far. Ed's guitar is irreplaceable.

Definitely love Ed's style. He reminds me heaps of Dave Gilmour in that he writes compositions which create a beautiful soundscape.

I love Ed's playing on How To Disappear Completely. He has the mix on his reverb all the way up so there's no dry signal, which took me years to recreate. The only pedal I could find that does that is the Mooer Shimverb, though I'm sure he uses something else

"EEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!" - Ed

Great video! Ed is definitely an underrated member of the band. No doubt he adds to the band’s definitive sounds, but he gets easily overshadowed by the other two guitarists’ fame.

THE MOST RADIOHEAD PERSON THAT I KNOW🚀🙌🏽

With all the knowledge and power you have, you might not be a famous artist or in a famous band in your lifetime but you better raise your kids to be the new and improved thom yorke.

I am a big fan of him man, I'm glad you met him joe,. He is great guitarist with Johnny greenwood

Twas a great Manhattan show in February. I remember waiting an hour to an hour and a half after the show to meet him too. Massive guy. Talented guitarist.

A friend referred me to this guy and I've watched several videos. How the hell does this artist not have exponentially more subscribers and views? Seriously great stuff without gimmicks. I am at a loss.

i love when you start videos with hi friends :)

I don’t even have to watch to know that the video will be great 🙃

oh FUCK yea

This is amazing, ed is why I got an analog delay. I love the way he uses the guitar.

I'm a big Ed fan. I have his Fender Stratocaster *signature* guitar (altho there is no signature!). Great guitar, with a Fernandes Sustainer at the neck, Texas Special in middle, and a SD JB Jr. at the bridge. Lots of fun!

like before watch.

I want to learn how to play like a Joe Edelmann... you ROCK!!!

Another great tutorial. Can't wait to put it to use. Thanks Joe.

I love Joe.

Finally some Ed appreciation, long time coming now, thank you

How does he achieve the sound from Lucky? Whammy and delay? I can't get it to come close.

I loveee this mann. Thank you for making the mysterious sounds of radiohead seem a bit more achieveable

Great job breaking down how Ed makes such a beautiful background for the rest of the band to play in! He really is key to the Radiohead sound, and adds so much, thanks!

Thanks Joe!

how to sing like thom yorke, or general concept of singing lol... u explain well

This could've been a good April Fool's video of you waiting for your chance to play like he does

My wife bought me EOB’s sustainer strat last Xmas. It really let me venture out, and get lost in the music again. I use it with a Helix floor, it’s amazing what I can get out of the two

The videos and the info being given is awesome, but really the driving factor is that each video you keep glowing up even more

This is fantastic. High five!

My most anticipated one! Will you do Collin and Phil as well?

great video man

This is pure gold. Thank you!

Thanks for these videos mate !!!

yes finally!! I´ve been waiting ages for a video like this!! thnx man

You are a very well-spoken gentleman Joe. I love this series! Learned a lot from it.

Do you know what is ed doing on sail to the moon? sounds so cool. sail to the moon cover would be really nice

Your knowledge is extremely useful. You really go into the details and I appreciate the passion and work behind each of your videos.

Yesss!

great stuff now you gotta do his part on sail to the moon and staircase the only two of my favorites that you missed

Thanks!!

Been looking forward to this one 😁

Nice work, fella! I do so enjoy these videos. Keep them coming 🙏

Brilliant video......✌🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Is that a shirt from the 2012 king of limbs tour? Looks alot like the posters i saw when they came to camden NJ?( nvm the video became alot clearer)

Ooft, great video.

this is so good

Ed uses the dl4 to roughly double the speed of the loop for ful stop. I usually just do the double...your reverse addition sounds good

Fantastic

No reprobe mateeeee tambien que buen video bro Eeeeeeeeeed

What power supply do you use to power that memory man?

Ooho sisiiisiiiii

Any chance of an episode like this on Phil's drumming? An episode on his gear as well as style and technique would be sick

I missread this as how to sound like Ed O'neill, not disappointed at all.

You should cover maquiladora, a killer song ;)

I think you should consider buying an EOB strat with sustainer...

Ooh shiiittt

What Effect is used in 15 step ?

could you give us a general idea of how much such a wonderful pedalboard setting would hurt our wallets? also, could you share your opinions on VSTs plugins that simulate pedals and amp presets digitally?

what's that swirling modulated sound during the Dollars and Cents part? just artifacts from the Whammy?

where´s is the final sound of idioteque

Hi Joe, question. Does the Ditto looper let you repitch the Ful Stop loops? ie play them an octave up/down when played back at double/half speed, like Ed does with the DL4 looper?

This was wonderful! Thank you!! Quick question: Does Ed use his sustainer guitar to pull off the intro to some live versions of National Anthem? Particularly the one in this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nrqqhc-avJnNdqc.html (not his finest moment but it's a good example of what I'm inquiring about)

These are really great videos. I really relate in a lot of ways to what you're doing here. When Ok Computer came out I was about 16, and only a couple years into playing guitar. Pretty quickly I taught myself every guitar part and a lot of the keyboard/rhodes parts and I used to set up all my pedals, press play on the CD player and play along from beginning to end. One technique I've always been really curious about is that iconic Ok Computer trem delay, used mostly in Ed's part of the Airbag solo (Where Jonny's part of the solo seems clearly delay free and possibly with a slide involved) and I think Jonny in the Airbag breakdown at the end, and also in Ed's part in Exit Music. I know it's basically a delay used while plucking trem style, but I've never been able to work out a solid version of it. Are multiple delays being used to achieve the sound? What speed of delay time is used, how much delay feedback, and how does the speed of the picking correlate to the delay time? It seems the feedback is low or the delay time is fairly quick since you don't really hear lag repeats when they change notes, slide up or down to a note, etc. I'd love to see a video on this if you've managed to figure it out, or just your thoughts in a comment.

A guitar tutorial video with over 3 minutes of a guy not even holding a guitar at the start. I didn't come here fir you, I came here for a lesson Fucking hell.
