BY POPULAR REQUEST: How to play "The Clock" by Thom Yorke (as performed on Later with Jools Holland) accurately.

Tuning: EBDF#BD (CRAZY!)

Forgot to note in that the first chord and all its subsequent variations is played over the B (5th string), with the sixth string E muted by the thumb (to view the part I am referring to, see 4:19-6:09).

*I don't plan on a cover version of this, as I don't want to BUTCHER it. Singing and playing this one is a beast of a project.

  • Awesome, i think it would make it a lot easier if you had a guitar with dots on the neck though. x

  • I do have dots on the neck, you just can't see them :) Larrivee uses micro dots on their guitars...

  • thanks very much, good teaching!! although i just visited the henry collins show where thom plays clocks and the section up the neck is totally different??

  • @ceridawn two different versions... album version is also different from those two.

  • THANK YOU

  • You're cool! I wish I could play guitar like you!))

  • you talk way to quiet. my volume is high as it can go and i can barely hear you. but good shit otherwise

  • my string broke...now im sad

  • tablature please

  • Better than you, only Thom Yorke himself, I agree with other comments. I'm just carefully watching, having just a few months of guitar playing. Patience is the hardest thing to learn, since of course we all want to just jump in and play like devils in paradise.

  • I don't think Thom Yorke is as much a genius as much as people are just not terrible creative.

    That said, Thom Yorke is a genius.
