hello warren,i have one question,i dont know if you can help me with this,in the live version of this song thom plays a couple of chords at the end when he sings "i´ve seen it comming",but I cannot get the correct chords,i hope you can help me to find those chords please.
Warren, you so completely rock! This is one of my favorite Radiohead songs. I'm a long ways from being able to dive into it. But there will come a day where I will tackle the damn thing. Keep up the good work my man!!
You seem to randomly hitting the strings in my point of view, but when i do that the sound just mixes up with the other strings' sounds. Are you hitting the strings one by one at the beginning or is there some other thing i should learn?
@loxoxer If you're talking about the "walk-up" he does at 0:13 then you should know that he's muting the first string with his middle finger after he "walks" over them. He does this by pressing on the string, but not enough to make it touch the fretboard. It's pretty hard to do at first, but with some slow, deliberate practice, you'll be able to mute out strings you don't want to hear in no time. :)
@Dvaerak7Korgo Actually i was trying to see a part where he picks the strings one by one, i was looking at the wrong hand haha. It doesn't seem to be that hard, though. i'm gonna try it right away. Thanks for the information mate, it's a valuable one for me!
Fantastic lesson, i can pretty much play bodysnatchers now! Theres still a few things i need to work on which i can overcome myself but the one part that simply cannot do which is the 10-12 10-12 10-12 strumming part. How do you mute the bottom 3 strings? And are you supposed to pick the first three while doing it? Its quite alot im asking for but i need help badly!! Thanks in advance your videos are great!! :D
@LameLatinLoser Those notes are just played individually, His hand never stops going up and down. It takes time to learn how to not play a bunch a notes at the same time while keeping that hand going up and down on the appropriate beats.
This is one wild song . Give me a month and I'll have it :) just need to get used to playing acoustic. Great tut tho. I was having alil trouble following part 3, but that's probably not because of u but because it's 3am lol
Hey Warren, fantastic video. I just need to know, what exactly are you doing with your pinky in the 10-12 10-12 10-12 bit? Are you muting at all, or just playing the top 4 strings? Thanks.
@TeddyFilmz As far as I can tell, I think it's just neck pickup, tone knob all the way off, and a crap ton of distortion and compression. Maybe there's a bit of fuzz pedal in there as well. It's kind of hard to tell, but screw around enough with the settings on your guitar and amp and you should get a similar sound eventually.
hey man it seems to me that in part 3 you are forgetting a 4th chord
you give the first 3 (the Gm9 and the two c6 shaped ones) but then when you go back to Gm you change to another chord, or am I just mistaken? because I heard two different chords
Hey Warren! You show us that syncopated riff at 7:52 on the D and A strings.
What is Thom playing after that when he's singing "Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, etc?" He seems to play that syncopated riff, then 2 chords, then he goes back to the syncopated riff.
Thanks man, wicked tutorial, gonna have to practice loads to be able to play this.
Are you picking the notes or strumming the top four strings when you do the 10-12 pattern in the beginning? I can't get the strumming right on that pattern, and its been raining all day.
this is now one of my favorite songs to play. however in the second verse, are you sure that johnny ends with a 7-8-5 on the A string? that would imply a D minor over the verse which is in D major. I've been playing around with that but it doesn't quite sound right to me.
Hey Warren!, first I have to say that your videos are awesome and very helpful!, and the second, well, i have a question, when you start the section 2, of Thom, you pull the frets 7-8-10 of the 5th string, and after that you do the, 7-8-7-8 in the 6th and 5th strings, you pull a chord, that I can't understand very good, can you explain it to me please, would very nice, Thanks!
PD: Is at this minute by the way 3:12, i can't understand because I don't speak english very good, so is a problem,haha
i don't play the guitar or anything, i'm just drunk and pressed the wrong button and got this. but i'm liking this video nonetheless. it goes well with a 16 year old Lagavullin whisky! Cheers!
Hey man nice playing and thanks for the tips I found section2 to be quite muddled though man. It was hard to grasp which point of the segment you were in.
But that isn't to say he's weird in a bad way. He just has a really sarcastic personality. Pretty much everything he says is non-serious. It's really funny. I know someone that acts a lot like him.
@lawlsimpopular great point! if hes weird then thom is weird ;)
most people who see thom the first time might think hes weird in the way he speaks and blinks only his right eye and because of this the definition of weird has become a positive compliment to me
@lawlsimpopular great point! if hes weird then thom is weird ;)

Why would it be necessary to tell this dude he has a strange personality..I feel you have a strange personality for getting so personal with the author.
At 5:31 why don't you do just bar the 3rd fret with your middle and ring finger on the two 5s and pinkie on 5 as well (1st string) and then move that up to the other chords also.
sorry, i don't understand the way you described your chord formation. the chord i played is the chord i think thom is playing. to me it sounds like a Gmin9.
---Gmin9 \/ 1. Bar the third fret. 2. Put your middle finger on the sixth string 5th fret. 3. Ring finger on the fifth string 5th fret. 4. Pinkie on the first string 5th fret. 5. Mute the forth string with the fleshy part of your ring finger. ---Dmin 1. Same but up a bunch of frets and no pinkie. ---C6 (kinda shape) 1. Same but let go of the 6th string. This way there is no need for the thumb.
On the C6 (up by the 10th fret), my guitar's neck juts out to the point where I can't comfortably use a full barre chord. And the following Gm9 was one of those times, where I just kept the thumb and wrist positioning. But I can see your reasoning. Everyone's hands are different, so some like to avoid the thumb. But I play it the way you describe minus the full bar (although I use a half bar with index) a few moments after the one you are raising an issue about.
he's weird?....i cant wait till the day comes when people are actually outwardly honest so that being honest will be the norm instead of being percieved as eccentric or WEIRD.....
Its sort of hard to follow which bits are following what. I think it would help if you had played the whole thing up to the last part you taught after showing us each new bit. Also a bit slower would definately help.
man, if i ever wanted to have a guitar teacher, it would be you!!!! all my respects and gratefullness to you kind and generous man who shares his wisdom
He also intersperses some sort of overdriven chord figure between the ascending riff at the very end ("I've seen it coming"). I can't quite bring it all the way to the end using your tutorial, I suppose.
One question about the bridge ("Does the light cut out for you?"), though--
If you watch the "From the Basement" performance, it looks like Thom voices the chords a bit differently (third chord: 10 X X 10 10 X), and throws in what looks to be an Am9 (same shape as the Gm9) before the pattern cycles around again, as well as another chord between the C and the Gm9.
Any thoughts on any of those? Yours sounds great; now I'm just curious what Thom plays.
Warren I think this cover is awesome; although I must point out what I think "may" be a misinterpretation, not error:
When you're playing the Gm (the light's gone out for you blabla) whoever is playing acoustic more than likely has it tuned to standard as I did not hear any acoustic throughout the song prior to this part.. so what I'm saying is irrelevant I suppose. Great stuff man, thanks a lot for this. Your tutor's help a lot.
will take me more than a night to get to grips with all that but I feel like I've done something worthwhile trying to learn it. And yeh - cheers for the reminder at the end ;)
just subscribed to your vids man. I'm a radiohead freak and I'm glad someone knows how to figure out ACCURATE versions of their songs on guitar. Only thing confusing me on that is how to get that strum pattern without hitting a bunch of open notes when doing that box pattern.
Hey Great job to pull the song with one acoustic. In fact, your correct, hard as hell. Fact is, lead guitar players, keep up your single notes on pulling off this riff, that is the corrects way. I'm sure it takes 3 not 1.
Hey Warren I was a little unclear on section 3, is that Thom or Jonny's part? I think you said Jonny, if so what is Thom doing? Is it that different from Jonny? Also at the beginning during Thom's riff do you know what chord Jonny is hitting when he does those percussive mutes?
this definitely doesn't sound "right" to me but it's still cool...i think you've complicated it a bit much, but it's also super hard to compensate for three guitar parts. kudos anyway.
Great Tab yet again Warren. Just one note though, Thom actually slides up to the 15th fret and 14th fret on the A string instead of playing it on the D string. For me it seems to flow a little better. Nevertheless you are still the man, and all of my children will be named Warren.
hey warren, thank you very much for the excellent lessons! I would pay for lessons from you in a heart beat. Concerning bodysnatchers, ed O'brien's part is more or less thom's part right?
I'm using this as a base to work out how to play it on a slightly different tuning (open D).
Really good stuff. If you actually transcribe this by ear (which I guess you must, since I'm pretty sure no songbooks for this exist yet), you are a very talented fellow.
sorry, don't mean to sound like a jerk, but the point is to learn by rote (by doing)! break out a pencil and paper, practice different sections over and over again, and then put them all together in flow and really OWN the music... my tab would only be an observation, a mechanical shell of the real essence of the song.
That was a pretty good tut seeing as it is such a messy song. And when you say 'you'll get it' it is reeli true . To be honest once you gte a lil guidence from someone (aka you) they can just practise and work out the variation parts.
Also during section 1 part 2 where Jonny is doing the octaves I believe you're actually doing it slightly incorrect. I am hearing him play 7(on a)-3(a)-7(e), 9(e)-5(e)-2(e), 7(a)-*3(a)*-5(a). I don't hear him hitting the 8th fret there, I believe it is the 3rd. Just a small contribution the the amazing work you've done here!
You are such an amazing teacher. I will say this though. You are combining two guitars in this tutorial. I mean, if you want to try and capture everything with one guitar it's great, but the beginning is Thom and when the second guitar part comes in it is a combination of Jonny Greenwood's and Ed O'Brien's guitars. Thom just continues to strum the rhythm section. But I am very glad you showed how to do it all as I wasn't sure how to play the leads in this song
Warren, you are great. I'm sure lots of people really appreciate what you are doing including me. What would be really great however if you posted the songs from start to finish as well. Come on mate! You are THE IN rainbows teacher :o)
Sorry Warren, i wasnt clear. I meant it would be great if you could post video of yourself playing indiviaual songs from start to finish. Not the whole album! But hey, who am i to tell you what to do.
ok. down and dirty, extremely picky technical question for you, dude:
part 1, the main riff. specifically the 10-12 10-12 10-12 bit on the D a d strings. i know you make a point to say to pick down up down up down up. but it sure sounds to me like he's doing a hammer on on the 12th fret each time.
no? yes? maybe? really who cares except me? i just don't know.
I'm having a hell of a time making the chord shapes with my hand for Jonny's part in section 3, the 12-12-x-10-10 and the 10-12-x-10 10. Are my hand not big enough, or what? I especially can't get my thumb on the E string and still get my index and middle fingers on the G and B strings. Does this just need practice or do I need new hands?
Can you do an Fmaj7 with a thumb? Like 133210? If you can do that stretch, you might just have a very wide neck on your guitar at that point, and need to figure out a way to use your other four fingers, and perhaps mute the A string, leaving out that pitch
I had the same problem with the 10-12-x-10-10. What I do is middle finger on the top 10, pinky on 12 (also muting the D fret), and the index finger on the bottom 10-10
warren... Thom clearly goes up to the 14th and 15th Fret when he makes those modifications on th emain riff for the 3rd and 4th run throughs. It's harder but with practice even on an acoustic can be done.
thanks for the lesson hope you like my attempt at the song (video response).

If you watch the "From the Basement" performance, it looks like Thom voices the chords a bit differently (third chord: 10 X X 10 10 X), and throws in what looks to be an Am9 (same shape as the Gm9) before the pattern cycles around again, as well as another chord between the C and the Gm9.
Any thoughts on any of those? Yours sounds great; now I'm just curious what Thom plays.

You forgot that in the intro, Thom strums muted strings every off-beat in-between the riff.

Warren I think this cover is awesome; although I must point out what I think "may" be a misinterpretation, not error:
When you're playing the Gm (the light's gone out for you blabla) whoever is playing acoustic more than likely has it tuned to standard as I did not hear any acoustic throughout the song prior to this part.. so what I'm saying is irrelevant I suppose. Great stuff man, thanks a lot for this. Your tutor's help a lot.

just subscribed to your vids man. I'm a radiohead freak and I'm glad someone knows how to figure out ACCURATE versions of their songs on guitar. Only thing confusing me on that is how to get that strum pattern without hitting a bunch of open notes when doing that box pattern.

Hey Great job to pull the song with one acoustic. In fact, your correct, hard as hell. Fact is, lead guitar players, keep up your single notes on pulling off this riff, that is the corrects way. I'm sure it takes 3 not 1.

Hey Warren I was a little unclear on section 3, is that Thom or Jonny's part? I think you said Jonny, if so what is Thom doing? Is it that different from Jonny? Also at the beginning during Thom's riff do you know what chord Jonny is hitting when he does those percussive mutes?
Spikew0ng 3 years ago
this definitely doesn't sound "right" to me but it's still cool...i think you've complicated it a bit much, but it's also super hard to compensate for three guitar parts. kudos anyway.

Great Tab yet again Warren. Just one note though, Thom actually slides up to the 15th fret and 14th fret on the A string instead of playing it on the D string. For me it seems to flow a little better. Nevertheless you are still the man, and all of my children will be named Warren.

hey warren, thank you very much for the excellent lessons! I would pay for lessons from you in a heart beat. Concerning bodysnatchers, ed O'brien's part is more or less thom's part right?

These are all really good tutorials. Thanks.
I'm using this as a base to work out how to play it on a slightly different tuning (open D).
Really good stuff. If you actually transcribe this by ear (which I guess you must, since I'm pretty sure no songbooks for this exist yet), you are a very talented fellow.
Thanks again for posting!

are you a radiohead addict like me?
and when you do the 10-12 on the 3 strings do you mute them how do you do it?
because you're staying in the same hand movement.

sorry, don't mean to sound like a jerk, but the point is to learn by rote (by doing)! break out a pencil and paper, practice different sections over and over again, and then put them all together in flow and really OWN the music... my tab would only be an observation, a mechanical shell of the real essence of the song.

That was a pretty good tut seeing as it is such a messy song. And when you say 'you'll get it' it is reeli true . To be honest once you gte a lil guidence from someone (aka you) they can just practise and work out the variation parts.
Good job!

Also during section 1 part 2 where Jonny is doing the octaves I believe you're actually doing it slightly incorrect. I am hearing him play 7(on a)-3(a)-7(e), 9(e)-5(e)-2(e), 7(a)-*3(a)*-5(a). I don't hear him hitting the 8th fret there, I believe it is the 3rd. Just a small contribution the the amazing work you've done here!
NoSurprises11 3 years ago
You are such an amazing teacher. I will say this though. You are combining two guitars in this tutorial. I mean, if you want to try and capture everything with one guitar it's great, but the beginning is Thom and when the second guitar part comes in it is a combination of Jonny Greenwood's and Ed O'Brien's guitars. Thom just continues to strum the rhythm section. But I am very glad you showed how to do it all as I wasn't sure how to play the leads in this song

drew900uk 4 years ago
ok. down and dirty, extremely picky technical question for you, dude:
part 1, the main riff. specifically the 10-12 10-12 10-12 bit on the D a d strings. i know you make a point to say to pick down up down up down up. but it sure sounds to me like he's doing a hammer on on the 12th fret each time.
no? yes? maybe? really who cares except me? i just don't know.
tisbottle 4 years ago
that's right. I do a hammer too.
in fact the rythm in this song is very tricky especially when you're doing this part...
I do like this:
9 - 10 - 12 : UP - UP - UP
10 - 12 : DOWN - hammer
10 - 12 : UP - hammer
10 - 12 : UP - DOWN
But I'm not sure if Thom really plays this pattern (UP - UP-DOWN- UP - UP-DOWN...)
:S
Warren: All of your Radiohead tutorials are awesome! Thanks for be a /real/ Youtuber!!
anenglishdesease 3 years ago
I'm having a hell of a time making the chord shapes with my hand for Jonny's part in section 3, the 12-12-x-10-10 and the 10-12-x-10 10. Are my hand not big enough, or what? I especially can't get my thumb on the E string and still get my index and middle fingers on the G and B strings. Does this just need practice or do I need new hands?
KnifinAround 4 years ago
Can you do an Fmaj7 with a thumb? Like 133210? If you can do that stretch, you might just have a very wide neck on your guitar at that point, and need to figure out a way to use your other four fingers, and perhaps mute the A string, leaving out that pitch
warrenmusic 4 years ago
I had the same problem with the 10-12-x-10-10. What I do is middle finger on the top 10, pinky on 12 (also muting the D fret), and the index finger on the bottom 10-10
noamgat 4 years ago
warren... Thom clearly goes up to the 14th and 15th Fret when he makes those modifications on th emain riff for the 3rd and 4th run throughs. It's harder but with practice even on an acoustic can be done.
drtchocky 4 years ago
hey you may be right... i don't see it anywhere or hear any slides. it might not make any sonic difference, but you are right, it would be harder.
