Thanks a lot, keep this up.

Although, your accent does make it very difficult for me to distinguish between "E" and "A"

It's like, ee and eeh

Thanks for the comment, i have a geordie accent so i use my imp indicator also so you can see what notes im using

[AlexaMullins]

thumbs up for the cat at the begining

@ovaal i am pretty sure it is not over four because they are subdividing each beat into three eight notes so it should be over eight ( i know i am splitting hairs here). i may be mistaken but i am pretty sure it varies quite a bit more than just a one bar phrase

[ExoticLadyBug]

i fucking LOVE you for having so many radiohead tutorials, FUCKING LOVE YOU!!!!

I think it's 16/4 (that's how i play it). And you should play that 4 times to get the repeating sequence.

I count with every chord, i play it like this:

1,2,3 1,2,3  1,2,3,4 1,2,3 1,2,3 (4x)

Play a chord on every 1. So 5 chords per measure.

It's quite hard cause the melody doesn't stop at the end of a measure.

Hope this will help anyone.

thank you so much!

The timing never changes in the entire song. The drums just come in.

[MrGreatunwashed]

songs beaut, really soothing

[OKexperience]

I think the timing is quite easy, but, halfway through it changes. That's the hard part.

Apparently its in 16/4 time. I have no idea how to count that out. Its what makes the song brilliant.

[kdawg828]

count it with a measure of 3 and then a measure of 5. The chords are on the following beats in order.... 1, & of 2, 1, 3, & of 4. Just repeat that rhythm sequence
