  • Incredible Version. 

  • @gitarrefreak79

    Thanks! Much appreciated.

  • this is FUCKING gorgeous.

  • @notacatchyname Thanks! I really appreciate it. That's one of our favorite covers.

  • Do you have the banjo tab for this? I was trying to work it out on my banjo but couldn't quite figure it out. This is really an awesome version of this song. Great job.

  • @banjoal79 Sorry, man, no tab, but the biggest trick is to tune to what I was told is a "Mountain Minor" tuning, which is simply tuning your B string up a half step. I also am capoed up to the 2nd fret with the 5th string adjusted accordingly to an A. Don't pay attention to the video capo position, my banjo is tuned down a 1/2 step. After you do this, the main roll is pretty simple and natural.

  • Thank you God. A real cover of Radiohead.

  • My friend has been experimenting with covering modern songs in bluegrass (BoB's "Airplane", etc). I was listening to some "old" cd's and heard this song again. My first thought was this song BEGS to be covered using banjo & bluegrass instruments. It's nice to know I'm not alone and/or crazy.

  • great version great cover :D

  • SO AMAZING. I LOVE THIS. OOOOOOMG. how did you capture the Let Down essence? you guys captured the song.

  • As a Midwesterner that loves Radiohead, it gets no finer. You killed it boys. I love seeing people that just get music.

  • yeah boi!!! definatly one of the better versions...should tell tom that your comming for him....this version is fuckin amazin!!!!!!!
