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 man you rock

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 :)

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.
