Radiohead is an English alternative rock band from Abingdon, Oxfordshire, UK which formed in 1985. The band is composed of Thom Yorke (lead vocals, rhythm guitar, piano, beats), Jonny Greenwood (lead guitar, keyboard, other instruments), Ed O'Brien (guitar, backing vocals), Colin Greenwood (bass guitar) and Phil Selway (drums, percussion).
The early years (1992 – 1995) Radiohead released their first single, "Creep" in 1992. The song was initially unsuccessful
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Just so everyone knows, I decided to learn this song after being blown away by a video of a live performance, where Thom Yorke was solo. I seeked out the biggest and baddest of tabs, but to my avail, they all sucked (no offence to the people who did them). I pieced all I could find along with some of my own time and hard work invested in nailing details so you won't have to.
Note: All chords are strummed in a triplet feel (1- 2 + 3 +), or some variation, thereof. Be creative.
Also, go easy on the higher strings; you want them to compliment the bass part, not bury it. This applies throughout the whole song.
And one more thing, listen to the recording to hear the timing of the chord changes. I recommend |>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_n3JHqLUGo<|
