There is a better way to play this song. My way is playing in standard tuning but putting the capo on the first fret. Repeat E Chord then Eadd9 chord.

[warrenmusic]

@Gamagachee That's not how Thom plays it, but that would sound great, too!

[metalguitar311]

Great video! One quick point though - wouldn't the fret numbers still be the same? The reason being the capo doesn't change which notes come out when you finger chords above it, it simply changes the open notes.  So if you're playing the F# in the first chord, it's still the 12th fret on the A string. I wouldn't say it's the 9th. Also I could be wrong, but I think he mutes the D string on that first chord.

[warrenmusic]

You may be right about the fret numbers... I am not typically a fan of convention with regard to tabs, but in my defense, I think it's more important to note the relationship between the capo and the fretted note for relative pitch purposes. Tabs are more descriptive than prescriptive, which is less helpful when it comes to understanding tonality and pitch relationships.

No, if you listen to house of cards, it's at 55 seconds "I just wanna be your lover", if you look at the other you tube sites, they are playing this chord, I just can't figure it out. Cheers

[warrenmusic]

Yeah, same chord.

[Jacobmaster1]

Hey dude can you make a tutorial for weird fishes. its a great song. Please

[Esteldil]

yeah a tuturial for weird fishes would be awesome

[optionthis]

You do need a bro to help you do camera work and lighting. But you still rock.

[TheTwilightTemplar]

Many thanks, this tab has been helping many people, and now has helped me. Awesome!

Excellent job, well done and thanks for sharing your obvious love of music. Such a great song and chord voicing. I notice radiohead add the b7 tone in there as well - Eb. I love the dropped d sound. Incidentally the same tone and capo position as streets of Philadelphia by Springsteen (i.e. f major scale with more chords) and many acoustic blues dudes past to present. The dropped d gives an indian like drone effect even before all the effects are added by the band. Bw

[shauny1005]

Well done fella..good job!

[joegamba4]

does thom play this without a pic tho?

[ThisF1r3]

Weird Fishes/Arpeggi tutorial plzzz !

[MrRicconaco]

I don't think that you're great.

[Gingersteve891201]

You play this really well but it hard to see where you fingers are due to the light of the room as it's quite dark n the angle of the camera

[MasterofEtherium]

@Gamagachee But that's two chords, what about the rest?

[cleopotski]

Dude u looked like ken zhu from the boyband f4...lol but nice tutoring,helped me a lot.cheers
