I have difficulty learning songs due to me expecting myself to overperform. I am usually frustrated if I cant get a song down after a few hours of practice. I think it may be reassuring to know how long it takes other people to master this song and play it proficiently at full pace. So how long does it take?
Well I missed the part that started at 6:50 lol Any help I can't understand what the hell warren is playing. I know wich strings to hold where but how do i have to move my fingers and wich strings do i have to play? thanks in advance!
@jjysoserious just try and if you can't make it just give you alot of time! i tried this half a year ago and only could do the picking part now i can do everything (learned it in like 2 days)
I love your tutorials Warren. I've never followed your instruction and not learned the song well. My neighbors request Radiohead more than anything when I'm front porching, because they're my best songs. Much of this is owed to you. A little more polish and structure and you're up there with Justin Sandercoe. Top notch, sir. Top notch.
hey man, this is brilliant. Only place i'm stuck at is the bridge. Is there any way you can provide tabs for that part? it would be a HUGE help. thanks dude and keep up the good work.
just a suggestion.... try tunning down the 1st string (E) 1 step (to a D). It sounds good sometimes and you don't have to mute it(again... sometimes). Anyway, thanks so much for this video because i was trying to learn this song quite a while and i couldn't. You're an awesome guitarist by the way
Hi Warren, thanks a million for this tutorial, I would just like to know, maybe someone else can help me out, am I playing it right? A made a very short cover on my channel, and was wondering what I could improve on.
Great tutorial as always Warren, but if you allow my comment you could have gone a bit slower on some parts. Anyway, I know it was of your first tutorials, and it's definitly the best available on the web, so congratilations and thank you for bothering for all us lame guitar players and making it easier or us! :)
i realize you probably have no interest in going through the tedious task of tabbing these, but do you know if anyone has tabbed this? I might then be able to figure out out what the fuck is going on.
Wow that was a great tutorial i usually find it hard to learn songs through videos.And no one ever tabs out Radiohead songs with their inherent fluidity intact. Perfect job man.
Thx a lot Warren you have a crazy ear! I ve watched a couple of live performances of the song and it seems that Thom actually plays the bass riff 5x5xxx to 12x12xxx to 9x9xxx when he starts humming . And he does it everytime for this section. Also he plays the first part of the verse down the neck. So it's 9x9xxx 9x7xxx 9x07xx 9x08xx instead of x2000x x203xx x2002x x2003x (4:28 to 5:20 in your video)
Fuck! When I watch the first 50", i was just... O_o. And then I laugh. Because it's better than crying when I noticed that I'll never be able to play like you. Congrats from a frenchy, keep doing a good joob, you're a good thing for those who like music man ;)
What I like about your lessons is it's more vague with most things. You don't breakdown EVERYSINGLE note. Which makes it easy for one to make their own way of playing the song
First, I'd like to say that you are awesome and thanks to your awesomeness, I've learned to play some of my favorite Radiohead songs. Second and lastly, when i started the video I thought the left side of your mouth had been invaded by a humongous fucking HERPE. Glad that wasn't the case. Stay protected my friend!
warren i think this tutorial is awesome but is it possible for you to type just the base note(e.g. 5,4,2,0,2,7,..) for the 3rd part where it starts5x5000 and goes up and down.
I got really confused seeing the video at that part but the other parts were all clear.
Im still a beginner but i love radiohead so pls help me out =)
my goodness! well done, sir. you are amazing! you should sell your talent. I would have paid for this. you have very efficiently explained some of my favorite harmonies in a way I can understand. thank you very much.
Amazing. Thank you. im just a beginner so it would be helpful if you could say what chords related to what your playing. I couldnt help but start singing as i hear you play, so freaken well done.
Hey warren!, well, I was wondering, what is the variaton that you do at minute 7:36, when you say , "real tricky" hahaha, thanks for the video, you are great!
Hint i noticed for the verse you can keep the same chord shape and use hammer ons, on the F# string from 7th fret and 8th fret, and the d string from fret 9 to 7. Noticed on live videos that thom keeps that chord shape when playing the verse
Much respect for an awesome breakdown of this. Owe you big time. Just one thing: the 2nd chord you are playing should have a different picking pattern than the first one if you listen carefully to the original. Sorry for being lame enough to point that out, but do you agree?
@SuperiFox I don't trust tab books... even when they are licensed by the band. They are not written by the band and often contain simplified transcriptions. I believe the tuning is D A D F# B E because you can see Thom using the 2nd fret 5th string when he plays the verse to produce the B, not the open string. The only negotiable could be the 1E, which some tune to D. The 1st string is not prominent in this song at all.
@warrenmusic okay thanks i was wondering about that. That does make sense cause some songs make unnecessary moves (bodysnatchers) if im thinking righte....once again thanks!
@warrenmusic Warren please add the next section of this amzing song, thanks to you i va learn this tutorial. I really will appreciated. Cheers mate!!!!
@warrenmusic I think Thom tunes it to A, but I prefer to play it tuned to B because I intensely dislike playing 'Drop D' type power chords like Thom does in the last phrase of the verse. I can play the same notes without altering the sound of the song.
@PRSOne Why intense dislike for a one finger power chord? And how do you play those same notes with an uptuned B? 535xxx? Seems unnecessarily difficult that way.
@warrenmusic It's not difficult at all. One finger power chords feel like cheating, I just don't like them. And you'll rarely see a good guitarist use them.
@PRSOne Guitarists can suck because they rely on the one-finger drop D power chord. I get it. Too easy. I'm just not so sure you can say that it's rare to see a good guitarist using them. That's un-provable. Jazz guitarists do use one-finger chords. For example, a major chord with an added sixth in second inversion xx3333. The sound makes a chord cool, not the fingering. And I still don't see the point in avoiding a one-finger chord to just do the same exact chord.
@warrenmusic I was referring more to the detuning of the E string to achieve a one finger power chord. In your example, the guitarist isn't detuning a string because he's too lazy to properly play a power chord. I have no issue with the guitarist in your example.
Naturally there are chords that require only one finger to play, but that's different, it's the shortcut I dislike, not the fact that they only use one finger to fret a chord.
@PRSOne That's what I'm saying. It's not the one-finger chord, it's the shortcut mentality. Laziness. And I'm challenging your notion of "proper" ways to play a chord, because if Jimi played properly, we would never have this Gadd9 - 3x5435. I'm just wary of words like "never" and "most" and "proper" when we're dealing with an instrument that is relatively new to the world of music (guitar has only been around a few hundred years).
@warrenmusic How? You'll never see a blues or jazz guitarist use them. Mike from Incubus won't even use them anymore. It's my preference, I didn't say they weren't okay on occasion, but a lot of pop-punk/emo/thrash bands abuse them because, well, they suck.
@ryank1esko It's not mine, recorded this at my parents' place. I'm not that desperate. The fundraiser was just a great way for me to give something back to people who were already going to donate anyway. Regardless, it's over now and I have the new guitar.
Nice vid, thanks. I've been pulling my hair out over this song for a while. I thought it was just Drop-D (I play Bodysnatchers in Drop-D) but I could never get my hand to stretch on the higher strings. Dropping the G to F# makes sense.
i have to play this live. how. i cant do acoustic, and i have other songs that dont have crazyass tuning, is there a way to play without tuning like that
@futurfry Well, it depends on how accurate you want to be... if you want to just play a basic version with chords and stuff then just go by the chord names I use... for example, just play B minor. It won't sound exactly the same, but you can be the judge of whether or not it works. You can always tune it for this song and tune it back... not that big a deal, especially if you have a tuner.
@warrenmusic ah i just played it. but i have the bends right after it, and no time to switch guitars, its a fluent set. but nvm, ill figure it out. great vid by the way!
@gruntkid10 It's just DUDUDUDU, constant strums. Unless you're talking about the beginning? Best advice is just take it slow, one note at a time if you have to. Speed comes naturally when you get it down.
I've been playing Radiohead off sheet music for over 10 years, and haven't really had anyone to help me with some of the techniques. You are a Godsend my brother!! Thank you!
i agree , i started playing this one and just had too look on tube for a tute , this guy is very helpful and as i realised after he'd helped me with gagging order immensely! great work warren . i hope u get what u deserve :)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
hello man, you are already thom yorke on you tube for a lot of people but I think that you suck.. your tabs are the same of the songbook.. but radiohead is more moderate.. your game is so academic..
Hey warren! First off a big thanks for all your tutorials. They're a huge huge huge huge help for me and my band at times. It looks like I've got most of the song down, but I was going to ask if you could explain a bit more the movement after the big descending chords around 5:35. I keep trying but I can't figure out quite which strings I'm supposed to be fretting where.
hey all, radiohead got me into playing music so i just started playing guitar, in the hope i could learn over the internet. im wondering about the "funky" tuning. on the E string, how do i tune it D? you say something a about half steps wich im to newb to understand, do i need to like pull the string really tight to it hit the D note? im just afraid it might burst. ;) sorry for the stupid question. :)
Not a stupid question. In the video, I tell you to tune it down. Do NOT tune it up. You can tune strings to different pitches... and they are measured in increments we call half-streps. Do some research and learn about them. Some people call them semi-tones.
thanks warren, i understand the thing about halfstep now, i seriously need to research more about music. i still have a hard time hearing tones, it will hopefully come to me one day, but thanks :)
Hearing the difference between tones does not come overnight, but I consider it my most important asset as a musician... I'd gladly choose pitch discernment over my fingers, even.
you are right, although it took me some time to figure it out it was really worth it in the end to just keep at it. I can now play the part and it sounds great, Thx!
thanks warren! I'll try to keep track of your band from atlanta. Jigsaw has a magical effect on my infant daughter. Its her favorite song - apparently she was born with excellent taste. I don't think I would have figured this out right in a million years without you. Muchos gracious and amazing job. rockon...
Warren, you truly the man, love your tutorials, but just can't get the strumming down on this which is frustrating cuz without it i trip up all the way along - any chance of a quick explanation slowed down, or if anyone else can help me out - i'm pulling my hair out!! LOve your tutorials though dude!!!
I watched this vid a couple months ago and was crosseyed about 2 minutes into it. I've practiced a lot since then and now with alittl emore skill this tutorial is helping me pick this song up in a day or two. My roomate was like "oh my god your playing jigsaw!!" Warren,, you rule!!! Thank you very much for taking the time to show off your skills!!
I am having some difficulties with that brigde part, it's rather annoying! :S Any help, please?

@ryank1esko It's not mine, recorded this at my parents' place. I'm not that desperate. The fundraiser was just a great way for me to give something back to people who were already going to donate anyway. Regardless, it's over now and I have the new guitar.

I can't figure out how the new chords (for the "chorus" are. minute 8:39 and on. Could someone help me please?

Excellent tutorial my friend. I always wondered what the tuning was. Nice job.

Nice vid, thanks. I've been pulling my hair out over this song for a while. I thought it was just Drop-D (I play Bodysnatchers in Drop-D) but I could never get my hand to stretch on the higher strings. Dropping the G to F# makes sense.

i have to play this live. how. i cant do acoustic, and i have other songs that dont have crazyass tuning, is there a way to play without tuning like that
futurfry 1 year ago
@futurfry Well, it depends on how accurate you want to be... if you want to just play a basic version with chords and stuff then just go by the chord names I use... for example, just play B minor. It won't sound exactly the same, but you can be the judge of whether or not it works. You can always tune it for this song and tune it back... not that big a deal, especially if you have a tuner.

@warrenmusic ah i just played it. but i have the bends right after it, and no time to switch guitars, its a fluent set. but nvm, ill figure it out. great vid by the way!

@gruntkid10 It's just DUDUDUDU, constant strums. Unless you're talking about the beginning? Best advice is just take it slow, one note at a time if you have to. Speed comes naturally when you get it down.

hello man, you are already thom yorke on you tube for a lot of people but I think that you suck.. your tabs are the same of the songbook.. but radiohead is more moderate.. your game is so academic..
sorry for this critic.. and my bad english..

Hey warren! First off a big thanks for all your tutorials. They're a huge huge huge huge help for me and my band at times. It looks like I've got most of the song down, but I was going to ask if you could explain a bit more the movement after the big descending chords around 5:35. I keep trying but I can't figure out quite which strings I'm supposed to be fretting where.

hey all, radiohead got me into playing music so i just started playing guitar, in the hope i could learn over the internet. im wondering about the "funky" tuning. on the E string, how do i tune it D? you say something a about half steps wich im to newb to understand, do i need to like pull the string really tight to it hit the D note? im just afraid it might burst. ;) sorry for the stupid question. :)
dupoisa200 2 years ago
Not a stupid question. In the video, I tell you to tune it down. Do NOT tune it up. You can tune strings to different pitches... and they are measured in increments we call half-streps. Do some research and learn about them. Some people call them semi-tones.
warrenmusic 2 years ago
thanks warren, i understand the thing about halfstep now, i seriously need to research more about music. i still have a hard time hearing tones, it will hopefully come to me one day, but thanks :)
dupoisa200 2 years ago
Hearing the difference between tones does not come overnight, but I consider it my most important asset as a musician... I'd gladly choose pitch discernment over my fingers, even.

thx a lot for this, you have really helped me, but im still having problems figuring iout the fingerpicking in the begining.
Does any1 have a tab for just that part? or has the time to give it to me?
I've looked and cant seem to find it :(

Check out 2:02 and use your eyes/ears. Tabs will just spoil it!

you are right, although it took me some time to figure it out it was really worth it in the end to just keep at it. I can now play the part and it sounds great, Thx!

Warren, you truly the man, love your tutorials, but just can't get the strumming down on this which is frustrating cuz without it i trip up all the way along - any chance of a quick explanation slowed down, or if anyone else can help me out - i'm pulling my hair out!! LOve your tutorials though dude!!!
