It was really useful, it helped me much. Wish you made tutorial for another great song of Radiohead - Reckoner.

Thanks Paul. I began my guitar learning with a swear that I would not stop practicing even if God himself told me I'd never be able to perform a song in my lifetime. Spent three months play the intro, now slowly moving to the second and third verses. I'm finishing this song next year.

@WinkingWizard1900 7 жыл бұрын

Just a little update. I can play the whole song at normal speed and sing along now. Still practicing every day and am going to play it in front of a crowd sometime next year, though I'm not sure it would be an enjoyable experience for the audience lol.

Hey Paul just an update. 4 months ago I decided to learn guitar and start from one of my favorite Radiohead songs. A few days ago I played the whole thing alongside the actual album version, and now practicing and refining it every day. Without you video I doubt it would ever happened. Thanks for the good work bro!

Hi Paul, thank you so much for this thorough tutorial. Radiohead has always been my favorite band, and it's so nice to find gifted guitarists who can help us play their songs ! The only thing I don't really understand is that the chords you have written over the tabs don't seem to match with them ? for example the first chord is G# / B / D# which makes it a G#m rather than a Gm - but then I might be wrong ;) Anyway, thanks again, subscribed !

@PaulDavids 7 жыл бұрын

Thank you! The chord names are named in relation to the capo (so the chord is named one half step lower). This also makes it easier to play the song without a capo. Good luck!

@victorbirukov3243 4 жыл бұрын

This may be a huge question but how do the celestial pros from Radiohead know when to add those sus2/sus4/D over F#, etc. chords ? Since the song is in G#min are all those fancy chords a part of it as well? or are they transition chords that coincidentally sound good together? I've been writing music and i wanna expand my knowledge on this stuff.

@shadow48668 4 жыл бұрын

The way Radiohead writes chords looks almost exactly to Neo-Riemannian theory. Which is this really cool idea that you can swing between chords very easily with shared notes (even if they're not in the same key). drive.google.com/drive/u/0/search?q=ScreenShot_20200824160054.png This shows how many notes in the intro are shared even if you don't know read sheet music you can very easily see there a bunch of shared notes. There's a really good video by Ben Levin where he talks about getting that Radiohead sound too if you want to check it out: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n7-FkpWZy6y0fWQ.html

Idk if you found the answer in the last 2 years, but I've always assumed they implemented sus chords as "time earning" chords, since sus chords are neutral and sometimes very stable.

I'm not sure if you'd know, but are the live versions they've played this year (on tour and on the live music video released a day or so ago) played half a step down? If that's the case, can I just remove the capo and play how the tabs are written? Sorry for the amatuerish question, I hear a few different chords in the live versions and want to know if you're familiar with them.
