I'm walking in the Air.

Thank you man!

[Radioandy69]

the second chord being the G (oct) C A could be a IV with the A as a suspension, that might be easier to relay to students, and then the d is a VI which is common in Radiohead theory...just a thought :) keep up the good work

[warrenmusic]

@Radioandy69 If the G chord were a IV, that would make the F chord a bIII, and the D chord a I, not at vi. Also, considering the melody is mostly C's, G's, and A's, the song is very C-centric, making it more likely to be a C major/C lydian thing.

thanks warren. i wonder how you get these stuff by ear? that's some talent

[deadenemy40]

thanks man you rock

[reusablecatmilk]

I love how you bring up the names of the chords you play in your videos, and then completely disregard it as knowledge for the "musical nerds". One day i'll pick up a piano (well..) and play this song :)

[aronmauck]

I've been looking up a lot of Radiohead piano tutorials and yours is by far the best i've seen. Thanks and keep it up my friend.

[8scatterbrain8]

i want you to be my best friend.

[antithesis02]

new tutorial, sweet. thanks warren!

[positMIT]

rock man!!

[Halcyon91]

Great stuff man. I never thought I'd be able to figure out the rhythm without the drum part. Like, imagine Pyramid Song released as the Bridge School Benefit version...

He also played this on the first night of Orpheum.

You know something, I think Thom would totally not know the names of those chords XD.

[furiousharpo]

@Halcyon91 Thom knows the name of the chords, asshole.

[chazybrewster]

I love it! Genius!

[palushik]

this song is crystallic beauty.
