Thank you for watching and make sure to hit the like button if this video helped you or you enjoyed watching it!
It was really useful, it helped me much. Wish you made tutorial for another great song of Radiohead - Reckoner.
Thanks Paul.
I began my guitar learning with a swear that I would not stop practicing even if God himself told me I'd never be able to perform a song in my lifetime. Spent three months play the intro, now slowly moving to the second and third verses.
I'm finishing this song next year.
Just a little update. I can play the whole song at normal speed and sing along now. Still practicing every day and am going to play it in front of a crowd sometime next year, though I'm not sure it would be an enjoyable experience for the audience lol.
noiceeee
Winking Wizard how did it go??
@@WinkingWizard1900 so? did you play
@@WinkingWizard1900 I hope you had a nice time playing
Hey Paul just an update. 4 months ago I decided to learn guitar and start from one of my favorite Radiohead songs. A few days ago I played the whole thing alongside the actual album version, and now practicing and refining it every day. Without you video I doubt it would ever happened. Thanks for the good work bro!

Thank you sm ❤️
the recording at the beginning is so good it took me a bit to realize it wasn't the original Radiohead. thanks for the tutorials, really nicely done.
Thank you, this is amazing and my heart melts everytime I hear this song. Being able to play it now gives me so much joy!
0:00 I misunderstood it was a real Radiohead track even though I know this is a video for tutorial/cover ... stunning!! Tutorial itself is really helpful as well! Thank you so much for sharing!
i cant wait to play this to my future girlfriend
Idem
hi :* hahdhahsa
This would be a great song to dance with your girlfriend to
That should be great! You’ll have one someday, just you wait
😢
thank you dude! finally get to play my favorite track from the new record!
What a legend you are, sir.
This is a brilliant breakdown of a pretty complicated piece. You are a talented musician my friend. This song is giving me a lot of joy to play so many thanks to you and of course Tom.
you are so awesome. thank you.
No Jesus, YOU are awesome ;)
Jajajajaja
I only have 12 frets to the neck with no cutaway so I just raised my tuning half a step up. Hope that helps someone! Brilliant tutorial ^_^
I prefer the live version anyway
How come I never saw this before? You've come a long way Paul! I love this tune and I'd love to hear you playing again with your current skills.. cheers!
Can you post a full instrumental cover [aka an extended version of what you did in the intro]? It was really good.
This may be a huge question but how do the celestial pros from Radiohead know when to add those sus2/sus4/D over F#, etc. chords ?
Since the song is in G#min are all those fancy chords a part of it as well? or are they transition chords that coincidentally sound good together?
I've been writing music and i wanna expand my knowledge on this stuff.
The way Radiohead writes chords looks almost exactly to Neo-Riemannian theory. Which is this really cool idea that you can swing between chords very easily with shared notes (even if they're not in the same key). drive.google.com/drive/u/0/search?q=ScreenShot_20200824160054.png This shows how many notes in the intro are shared even if you don't know read sheet music you can very easily see there a bunch of shared notes.
There's a really good video by Ben Levin where he talks about getting that Radiohead sound too if you want to check it out: czcams.com/video/iYU_2hfFPM0/video.html
@@shadow48668 That's very interesting, Miguel. Thanks for the information
Idk if you found the answer in the last 2 years, but I've always assumed they implemented sus chords as "time earning" chords, since sus chords are neutral and sometimes very stable.
Beautiful song! That last album was hot fire!
Dear Paul thank you so much for this wonderfull video. I have to ask you a little thing: would you be so kind to write the chords of the second guitar in the acoustic version? Thank you in advance and don't stop make videos like this. Best regards.
just a tip some might find helpful, using the thumb for the bass can be easier on the e minor shape chords
This is quite brilliant! the sound is pure and durable, and the film is vibrant and colorful! Good content! Keep it up
Hi Paul, thank you so much for this thorough tutorial. Radiohead has always been my favorite band, and it's so nice to find gifted guitarists who can help us play their songs ! The only thing I don't really understand is that the chords you have written over the tabs don't seem to match with them ? for example the first chord is G# / B / D# which makes it a G#m rather than a Gm - but then I might be wrong ;)
Anyway, thanks again, subscribed !
Thank you! The chord names are named in relation to the capo (so the chord is named one half step lower). This also makes it easier to play the song without a capo. Good luck!
Thank you very much for this excellent - and thorough - tutorial and tab for my favourite (today!) Radiohead track.
Thank you for your service, Cap
Clear, precise and an amazing tab overlay thank you so much.
What a performance in the beginning. Awesome
Obsessed with this one I wish I could play
Nice video Paul! Would you make a chord progression analysis for this song? I hope you'll make it Paul!
I really need the information for my own songwriting
Keep up the good work!
i just started to learn guitar and forming the cord shapes is by far the hardest part for me. The picking pattern and structure where really easy to learn imo
1:08 is where the explanation starts.
Came here from the CR78 video version.Thanks Paul!!
Thank u chris evans 😍🙏
Thanks for lesson and tabs. You're so good man. I need to practice but in a few days I'll be able to do it ! ;)
Great lesson. Can you please do "The Numbers" as well?
Paul!your my favorite guitar teacher/player!can you do more Radiohead please!!!
Thaaannnnks man! So cool. I'm getting back to music and intend to sing it while playing!
Thanks for this amazing tuto. Love this song, and your video is perfect !
Gorgeous, you kick it dude. Gimme your Taylor instead my poor and rusty flat guitar i'm using. Keep the kickass tutorials. Cheers from France.👍
Beautifully done. Learning this starting tomorrow!
I dont know if you will respond but im curious and confused how to chords actually work, he says hes playing a G minor chord but it looks like a G sharp minor chord, can you help me, thanks
Many thanks for your videos mister Paul ! keep up your great work
Thank you! Excellent tutorial.
Great lesson! Thanks for all the effort
Great play and lesson bro!
Btw what string brand and gauge do you use for this ?
And last but not least, a recording technique for acoustic guitar would be great!
Cheers
Now that's a beautiful song. Thanks for to the tutorial
Hi, great job! Are you sure about the Csus4 (min. 10:07)? I hear a B played by the bass in Radiohead's song ("keep it moving..."). Could it be?
+Andrea Fasulo I listened to it again, and it's definitely a C. I agree, the bass is a bit vague and sometimes even ambiguous, but the guitar plays a Csus4 as shown in the vid! Cheers.
+Paul Davids Thank you!
You were right about the B. On the Keep it moving line it's a G7 chord first inversion (similar shape just move your finger down one fret on the low E than the Csus4 shape he shows. A bit of a stretch but then again you can play it with the seventh fret of the low E, the open G, and the sixth freth on the B string) Great video nonetheless! :)
Mind you also, there's also a lot of layering going on outside Thom's acoustic guitar, which causes a lot of the vague tensions surrounding the chords.
Did a little more digging (technically yes it is a C in the studio recording if you take into consideration the capo but), when Thom Yorke plays the song at the Latitude festival, he has a B in the bottom of the chord he forms at the line. Regardless of this, it's still the most thorough tutorial I have seen in a very long time.
Thank you so much! You just earned a new subscriber!
Hi Paul, great video. But I don't see a reason to use a capo at all! Is the album version in G#? When they play it live it's always in G. Overall great tutorial, especially with the fingerpicking pattern.
Great tutorial dude. But I think the finger picking pattern in wrong and the tab is slightly wrong. It just doesn't match up with the song.
Pretty sure the finger picking pattern should be
Thumb, middle, index, middle, index, thumb, middle, index
Maybe someone can make sense of that lol
they can't because it is way over simplified and subjective
I love you man! Thanks!
Beautiful! Thank you very much!
I didn’t expect you to teach this song but I’m fucking glad
Very helpful, thanks for the tutorial:)
please teach radiohead: LET DOWN from ok computer. thanks!!! U are the best!!!!!
Thanks. Great tutorial.
Good lesson man, really helpful.
Thanks for the great video and tab. I really liked it except for counting the frets from the capo! There is only one open note in the whole song. The whole time I was reading I kept realising I was playing 1 fret too low and then having to constantly convert it my head was so annoying.
Wow, man, you do some fresh tutorials!
4 people are going to music hell
Antdoggy25
One Direction’s American Idiot plays there
What would that sound like
Thanks very much!
Excelente!!! Muchas gracias!!! Saludos desde Argentina!!
Very useful, thank you :)
Is the guitar a Taylor 114e?
Fantastic work
Captain America teaching Present Tense.
So cool, man

Very Good your explanation!!! Thks!!!

I'm not sure if you'd know, but are the live versions they've played this year (on tour and on the live music video released a day or so ago) played half a step down? If that's the case, can I just remove the capo and play how the tabs are written? Sorry for the amatuerish question, I hear a few different chords in the live versions and want to know if you're familiar with them.
This is amazing
Hi!! thanks for the tutorial, couldn't be more perfect!! I have a question, both the acoustic live version and the concert version are different from the original almost completely, can you explain to me why?
Thanks so much Paul! :)
amazing job, thank you
Thank you, Paul!
Great video man
Very good Paul, thanks. I would leave out the capo though.
Thank you so much!
Nice job, thanks!
awesome tutorial!
Samba!!!
Great job!
thank you so so much ! i';ll learn from you!
Me typing on the youtube search bar : Radiohead present tense guitar tutorial, first video is a tuto by Paul Davis
Dude. Paul, thank you....any chance you could do the Thom and Jonny acousic of The Numbers???
please do a decks dark cover! including that awesome lead guitar outro which the tab on ultimate guitar does not include..
thanks so much for this
I still come to this video for awesomeness
Thank you so much! Dankjewel! :)
Is the picking slightly different than on the album version? I play along well with you now, but it sounds off when I try playing along with the album track
possibly, very likely, im just messing up, but just to be sure if i have to keep trying; or your way and the album's one are just different
Hey, thanks for commenting. It's is the exact same pattern as on the record (A Moon Shaped Pool), so keep up the practicing, I'm sure you'll figure it out!
your lesson is really great , but the fact you use the 1Oth fret instead of the 9th for example is realy confusing
+Mathilde Mrn Cover yup, I agree. But there is no other option! I had to cut out numerous occasions were I made an error ;). Cheers
yes of course i understand , it's just for the next time ;)
+Mathilde Mrn Cover Next time I would do the same because this is the only correct way. How would I name fret number 3, 2 or 1? You see, that would be impossible! So, it sucks, but we have to love with it. Only option would be to tune your guitar a half step up :D
More Radiohead please!
excelent teacher, thanks
Brilliant
thank you captain!
This is sooo coool! More Radiohead plzz! 😍
great!! thanks
Thanks dude
Chords link doesnt work :( can you please provide tabs ?
the tab download page is gone, maybe somewhere else? thanks
Can someone explained the augmented intro bit at the end at 12:50 roughly? It was hardly explained.
The extra chord (Csus4) in the third and fourth verse is wrong. The bass is in fact a C, but relative to the capo, it's a B. You are playing a C# relative to the capo. The shape is 7xx06x, relative to the capo (so 8xx07x). It's so jarring and adds so much to the song. I think you might have gotten mixed up in your capo notation. The chords are: E, Ebm(add11), and a G#7 (or Ab7 not sure on the scale) with a C on the bass. Relative to the capo, they are: Eb, Dm, and a G7 with a B on the bass.
Great tutorial! I was wondering, the drumms from the beginning...you made it or found it somewhere? Thanks
Hes just hitting his guitar
Tysm bro
Great!
thank's a lot!
