How to play "Paranoid Android"

[shintashinta1988]

love u im from BALI indonesia

[shintashinta1988]

thankyou handsome :)

[zotowe]

good lesson!

[antiquitysify]

I come across this video from time to time not to learn how to play this (there are tabs for that), but to just stare at this man's face. My god, he's beautiful.

[BerSerkEr1500]

with tab please

[Sholwanmadera]

PODRISA PONER LA TAB POR QUE NO ENTIENDO NADA :(

[Chrysostomus99]

Thanks man. Ignore the haters, as usual.

[tagyoureitfatty]

PLEASE post a video with the rest of the song!!! Ive never been able to figure it out and now that ive got the first part down im DYING to know the rest!!!!! It would be greatly appreciated :D

[superflyj416]

It took a lot of patience, but I pretty much got it. Thanks!

[TheDavidson10]

dude youre mi idol

[pedrobandarez]

this is taking a while, just stsrted getting back into guitar and cross picking was never one of my best skills, good way to get the fingers back in shape

[Ratflip1000]

Anyone can tell that you are playing this correctly. There are always those unfortunate few who are unable to accurately process musical notes. Thanks for the lesson. Keep it up.

[Ratflip1000]

I play by ear, abThere's always

[mynameisenna]

great! thanks! :)

[thecelticmist]

what a fucking shit  lesson

[TheThor1212]

thenks neo :P

[sinasl1]

@stophocles

Actually, it is specific like that- the picking that is- I learned it absolutely note for note. Its a specific pattern and melody, All depends if you really want to play it correctly or not!

[blackmorestuff]

@sinasl1 I agree with you. It' better to learn and understand the specific pattern, instead of playing some random stuff. Only then you can personalize it...

[Stophocles]

Probably easier to just focus on the general changes in chord shape. The picking really isn't specific like that.

[Kyle0fCanada]

for half the video i thought u were jonny greenwood...

[ahamkara]

Thanks a lot mate! Been trying to learn this song for so long but tabs have been too complicated to follow and my ear isn't well-trained enough for me to play myself. Lotsa kudos to you!

[Teddipiker]

ㄱㅅ

[nimrodlev333]

Good Day.

[Vince0ful]

Thx!

[DaLastBoss]

respect for using a pick in this song, its much harder than finger styling it

[TheReddwarff100]

@DaLastBoss

Yeah, I can only finger pick it.

[JohnLennon100]

Good Job

[payleenchucky]

you are the best, thanks!!!

[cammyleenic]

Next lesson, play paranoid android and sing at the same time! Thom Yorke style

[Goreface69]

Hey man, this is absolutely perfect! Do you think you could ever teach us the chorus and bridge then by any chance? Or at least refer to videos why YOU think are the most accurate for those parts please?? Keep up the great work!

[looktonorway]

Keanu Reeves rocks out!!

[mauriciolinks1]

On the little 'transitional movement' the fifth note you play, I'm pretty sure you say the sixth fret on the FIFTH string, but it seems like you do that on the sixth string instead... which one is it?

Great video by the way!

[DarkLinkRua]

Fantastic lad, thanks very much your a legend =)

[parkourandguitars]

thanks for teachingme, john la joie, but actually thanks really helped

[tangocukedi1]

how can you play it this fast.

[jalepenomack]

@tangocukedi1 cross picking. very important to learn advanced guitar pieces. you should look up some cross picking tutorials. they'll help a lot.

[tangocukedi1]

@jalepenomack thanks bro

[andiejanefisher]

Love the way you repeat it all through so you can really follow it. Great video and you play great too. Look forward to more videos (subscribing) :-)

[SwooshBearGames]

Great tutorial, Thanks!

[TheAch4b]

thank you man,really.

by the way I can play that pretty well using the finger,but with the Plectrum(or how the english call it,the pick) I've got some problem with the speed......i have to work on it 'cause with the pick the sound is really perfect....insted with the finger is too "soft"....

[MegaYousir]

thanks you're a good teacher :)

[ErickVictorTM]

thank you ,its hard for me to play it i tho i was never going to learn it and i learned in 30 mins im 15 years old so my fingers are not fully growed ,but thanks god i have a gift he gave me

[Radioheader100]

Hey thank you so much Peter this was a fantastic lesson. I'm wondering if you would consider doing a tutorial for the rest of the song?? it would be greatly appreciated!

[Radioheader100]

Hey thank you so much Peter this was a fantastic lesson. I'm wondering if you would consider doing a tutorial for the rest of the song?? it would be greatly appreciated!

[mickys514]

@sinasl1 nice work mate. Will be nailing this one latet. Best vid for this song. I will be uploading a vid too show how your kindness helps others, and to show the whiners that this its good video to learn from, and they just arent listening and looking properly. I just uploaded a demo on how to play lotus flower. Check out my channel.

[riverscuomo]

Thank u bro. this is very helpful.

[paranoidandroid102]

hello i am from peru, i like how you play the guitar, perfect paranoid android  i want to know how play

[Bur1go]

hey I think this is a very great version of the song, I learned it from this videos about a year ago

but can you tell me if this is the very same version yorke plays when he solos?

[primo341]

Could you write the chords please, I´am not a good listener my english it´s not good

[y00n1x]

You teaching us or yourself how to play this?

[rebelwithoutapause25]

what type of guitar is this? it has a great sound!

[sinasl1]

@rebelwithoutapause25 It's a Larivee, an acoustic made in Canada....

[viclick]

thank you alot!!!

[hitokirimoy]

THUMBS UP FOR KEANU REEVES !!!

[albertaboyz]

thumbs down are LOSERS.

[Eclecktro]

thanks dude, tabs don't really help with getting the gist of the rhythm, unlike your vid

[Erialcnworb]

I really want to watch this and learn but I can't get over THAT DAMN BEEPING IN THE BACKGROUND D:

[stylomilo89]

got part 2 for this?

[patrickward21]

thx. i couldnt get my head round this for ages

[kittyNishat]

totally awesome

[skipmanager]

u r AWESOME really helped thx

[Anotherguitarist999]

Love the "Good day" intro :)

[CaptainxCaboose]

You got the cool hair and everything! You're fucking awesome

[asrfarinha]

Thanks a lot for the lesson. I always found it very hard to learn this song just from the tabs. The lesson made it all so much simpler. Any chance for a tutorial on how to play the rest of it? Or at least the tab you used. Now that I know the rhythm, I might be able to follow the tab,

[ttjarrett]

Hey Elliott Smith, thanks for the posthumous Radiohead lesson!

[parkourlife3455]

lol i love how you said good day all seriously

[Blargonson1]

Awesome as! I thought this song was way too hard for me to play but you proved me wrong.

[charmingbelief]

wow, this is such a great tutorial. how you aren't being too talkative in explanation is great. great playing and I fucking love this song!

[juankrlox]

im just hearing the cd! lol you play cool

[simongregar]

iam the best and you are stupid

[MrTOXICMAMA]

thanks so much this video really helped i can play the whole song now thank you.

[FeralArtist]

Just a tip, if you can't get the picking you can use your fingers.

[chainmailaccount]

Dude Keanu Reeves thank you so much for teaching me Paranoid Android.

No but seriously your tutorial really helped. Please post one for the rest of the song :D

[Fabio9x]

Ed O'Brien teaching us paranoid android.

Fucking epic

[MooseChoob]

extremely unclear towards 6:20 about what notes to play

[idioteque113]

holy shit, is this Jon Lajoie!?

[UberRadioMuse]

that part of the song is great but wheres the rest?!? :(

[LordEizen]

rest of the song??! :D !!!!!

[DISTRUPTOR14]

good day commander

[EranTamir8]

Excellent video!

[GuitarFreakReegs]

I didn't know neo was so good at guitar!

[Graplevader]

can you tutorialize the rythm guitar for the rest of the song?

[myfartwillgoon1]

excellent tutorial! thank you so much

[cryptoquip27]

im not used to using my pinkie so much, it hurts now :(

[deadeyesfallfromgrac]

i love you!

[nataliewhat]

immensely helpful. thank you!

[uhhhhhhh28]

Awesome video. I've been trying to learn this part for awhile but I find it alot easier to learn by seeing someone play guitar and then explain it.. the tab just confused me. Great video. I can now play the intro to paranoid android.

[Fabio9x]

his hair is like jonny's and he looks a tad like Ed haha

[fbombdog99]

Thank you I've almost got it

[avichayilbatsarah]

thank you so much*^-^*

[emmetmulcahy]

THANKYOU SO MUCH

[spaceeskimo11t]

[michaeljackson407]

[jamesymck]

Helped a lot :)

[Juicebox625]

This was very helpful. Thanks for making the vid!

[paulio2293]

this is the only guy ive actually seen on youtube who plays this song correctly

[myalcohol]

where is the fuckin' second part of the song..!!!

[vagvll]

Hey man didnt you use to have a part 2 ,cant find it.

[janislovesmusic]

GOOD DAY:D

[paranoidandroidRH]

I think you go wrong at 4:23. You say 6th fret 5th string, but I think it sounds like you mean the 6th fret 6th string?

[SomeSunshineOutside]

You're damn cool, dude.

[johnblakeross]

Awesome walk-through. I've wanted to learn this for so long now. Thank you.! I picked it up quick but it'll be a sec before it's clean. Thanks again!~

[R3fini]

5 star video!!!

[Tapok131]

Thanks.

[808hawk]

there you go,ouch think i want to go find the tabs too. tough song, thanks for the lesson.

[dman19851996]

I heard wrong at first and I almost bent my fingers into weird shapes. Best tutorial out there! Thanks!

[666thehazard]

Hey, awesome lesson man :D. You did a great job of making it easy to just start watching an play.

[jaytv777]

finally cracked this after a week (yes week!) of hell...thankyou for a fantastic and correct breakdown of picking/song..best on youtube by a mile! cheers!

[cure90cancer]

thnx bro..

[jaytv777]

really precise tutorial..great stuff mate! thanks!

[jjhatnm]

Cool man!

[EnglishAndFilm]

Thanks for this, man. Great to watch and learn from. Struggling my way through this.. :) Thom Yorke makes it look really easy in the live acoustic version I saw here on YouTube.. an incredible piece of songwriting this is.

[DioGoCwb]

That's amazing! Thank you for the lesson! I've finally got it.

[insanityea]

Awesome lesson. I learned it!!!

[pyro4002]

well it took me 3 hours, but i've got it down now. beautiful work on a beautiful song.

thank you very much sir!

[11bevan11]

this is like the best guitar tutorial yet, cheers man. :)

[gratefultobehere]

GOOD DAY. hahaha

[MrsHeathJoker]

Wow this was soo helpful, thank you!!! Favourited!

[Koolaids93]

anyone try and use the closed captions, its like a foreigner transcribing it, hilarious!!!!

[anakinskywalker92]

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaamn! You're really good! You saved me, I had no idea of how play that!

[0VoiceOfReason0]

4:26 you say 6th fret of 5th string?

do you mean " " 6th string because it doesn't make sense, as you say "hit the 6th string again" at 4:32 + it sounds more correct.

[bucihc]

BRILLIANT! can you do the rest of the song please?

[oc1omaen]

I never thought I'd learn this song.  Great lesson!!!!

[omgitsmmtmmbz]

i really love how you teach this... and you also play the song beautifully :D

[michaelcoffin]

Done right. Thanks for a great lesson!

[justsomemusicguy]

Cool video! I'm trying to learn to play this part of the song on guitar. Is there any chance you could put this on tab, 'cause I don't think this version can be found on Ultimate-Guitar...

[agman2009]

thx was a big help down in new zealand love it

[Kenaniahmce]

@agman2009 PROUD KIWIS!

[thorgilso]

This is great thanks a whole bunch! If you have time... could you go through the rest of the song with us friendly youtube users...

[BlakeBoseph]

such an epic song and awesome lesson

[exfranzskater]

awesome lesson dude.

nice instruction, i learned it. :]

[neferura000]

papasito

[unripevocal]

this is a super easy and super cool song ... and you got it right ... took me ten minutes after your little lesson to master it ... thanks dude

[willkehler]

thanks man.. ur great

[boobooandbooboo]

good day

[Goreuncle]

Good lesson!

[nosuitableusernames]

arg i wanna learn this so bad but i cant seem to get it right!!!

[mikeee17]

Awesome! Bridge please.

[dieinthesummertime07]

about time all the tabs online were shite cheers mate learned it super quick good vid

[poochengeez]

nice. how bout the bridge?

[higherlove101]

excelent, could you please show tabs and chords, thanks

[leraginasian]

thank you - I have been trying to figure this song out forever.

[JJMM33]

The pattern is kind of similar to Crash into Me by Dave.

[mikeee17]

Amazing! Clear lesson, spot on! I've got it down thanks to you. Now I eagerly await the next part.  Hope to hear from you soon. Keep up the good work.

[mikeee17]

This is top class chap. Easy to follow and sounds awesome... now I'm waiting for the next part - please oblige.

[artistofwar1]

thank you

[Gretastina]

Off topic. You look like proffessor snape from harry potter much indeed.

[simon1975]

Fantastic

well done!

[xBIGxEDDIEx]

so afterwards, do we replay the same thing again?

[GKFC]

Well, this is only the verse of the first section.

You'll need to learn the bridge, chorus, and then the whole "ambition makes you look pretty ugly" and "rain down" sections...

[utubetool]

thanks a bunch dude

[neantsan]

thanks !!

[869594]

this is a great lesson on it, thanks so much.

did you do this by ear? r is it from the tab book? because i've got the tab book but can't really understand it cos its so confusing.

[oOOShaunOOo]

Hey man, thanks for posting this vid! It's great to find someone playing it without playing it the lazy way.

Would love to see more of this song posted but I am just chuffed to get the intro nailed down properly :)

Thanks again

[birdbreeders]

Awesome! Keep Going! Are you doing the rest in parts like you did with Eruption? Sorry if i missed them.

[Brank87]

Thanks a looooooooooooot

[GuchiB65]

are u using a pick? O.o

[codygerken]

yea he is

[oasiscanonball]

LOL

[Pavel20002000]

lol?

[oasiscanonball]

Yes lol. I'm assuming GuchiB65 is being sarcastic about the pick. In the vid the chap is clearly holding a pick or plectrum in his hand and refers to it several times in the vid. Then again maybe Guchi for some reason did not spot this. Who knows?

[claaaaaudiaa]

@GuchiB65 i believe so... he's crazy xD

[869594]

yeah he is when he plays it, but some of the time he's finger picking to show how to play it... if that makes any sense.

[bilgueits]

Man, can you post Tabs for your version ??? PLEASEEE!!!!

[bilgueits]

This is perfect.

[wibbletricycle]

It's good to see someone submitting a video who has a good sense of timing. It gets overlooked too often. Nice

[II4037man]

like they all said below. respect.
