    What a tune. I always avoid learning Radiohead songs because I expect them to be in odd tunings but drop d is very doable! Thanks a lot for this, tonight has been time well spent.

      You're welcome :)
      Yeah they often sound like they'd be way out there but a lot of their tunes are simple enough in terms of tuning and often deceptively straightforward when broken down.

    One of my all-time faves!
    I have stolen so many guitar voicings from this song.
    Jonny playing 10th melodically intervals, is genius. I wish I could play it as fast as him

      Yeah it's so inventive isn't it. Another great radiohead tune!

    Glad to see your still doing Radiohead tutorials, your the best at them, thanks bro!

    Thanks much! Love playing this. I had one part wrong and you schooled me. Radiohead is often way easier than you thought chord wise and has beautiful dissonance built in

    One of my Radiohead faves. Always imagined myself playing this one, but figured it would be too difficult...but maybe not! Thanks for the great breakdown! Subscribed.

    Always wanted to learn this track! I was surprised at how difficult the 1A and 1B were, never done hybrid picking before. Managed to figure it out though, thanks for making this! Couldn't have learnt the song without it.

  • @RansomedSin
    @RansomedSin Před 3 lety +2

    Awesome, thanks mate! I'm not sure but I think in Section 2 the 9-11 would sound better or more correctly as 10-11, although I might be wrong.

    • @davedoingguitar
      @davedoingguitar  Před 3 lety +4

      You're welcome! Just had a listen back and pretty sure it's 9-11 in that section instead of 10-11, but just trust your ears and play what sounds best to you :)

    @preciseaudioblog Před 7 dny

    Hi Dave. Great video! Do you (Anyone) have guitar picking exercises to execute this song better? It’s hard for me to play it at the song’s tempo and when I skip a string in the arpeggio sometimes my pick get’s stuck. Thank you

  • @ParanoidTele
    @ParanoidTele Před 3 lety +2

    During section 2, are you alternating the whole time between thumb and middle finger? I'm having a hell of time getting that part down.

    • @davedoingguitar
      @davedoingguitar  Před 3 lety

      Yeah I've got my thumb on the 5th string and middle finger on the second string and kind of fluttering between the two. I found that part really tricky too, feels quite unnatural picking like that

  • @celerygoblins
    @celerygoblins Před 4 měsíci +1

    I'm very late here but just curios what kind of pick are you using here?

    • @davedoingguitar
      @davedoingguitar  Před 4 měsíci

      The pick I'm using in this clip is a 3.0mm Dunlop Stubby pick 👍I used to use pretty thick picks because when i played in a band i was a bit paranoid about dropping them onstage haha. I generally use something around .63mm now - better balance for strumming and single notes i find

    • @celerygoblins

  • @corporal5265
    @corporal5265 Před 3 lety +2

    This is how a tutorial should be. So Section 3 is actually section 2, but with full chords? Cheers

    • @davedoingguitar
      @davedoingguitar  Před 3 lety +1

      Thank you! Yep that's right, same chords but strummed instead of finger picked :)

  • @violethill4454
    @violethill4454 Před 3 lety +2

    great tutorial as always!
    but just a little feedback if you don’t mind, can you make your voice audio more louder? I think it’s kinda low for me I’m using a phone btw

    Are you such a dreamer
    To put the world to rights?
    I'll stay home forever
    Where two and two always makes up five
    I'll lay down the tracks
    Sandbag and hide
    January has April's showers
    And two and two always makes up five
    It's the devil's way now
    There is no way out
    You can scream and you can shout
    It is too late now
    Because you have not been
    Payin' attention
    Payin' attention
    Payin' attention
    Payin' attention
    You have not been paying attention
    Payin' attention
    Payin' attention
    Payin' attention
    You have not been paying attention
    Payin' attention
    Payin' attention
    Payin' attention
    You have not been paying attention
    Payin' attention
    Payin' attention
    Payin' attention oohh
    I try to sing along
    But the music's all wrong
    'Cause I'm not
    'Cause I'm not
    I swat 'em like flies
    But like flies the buggers
    Keep coming back
    And not
    But I'm not
    All hail to the thief
    All hail to the thief
    But I'm not
    But I'm not
    But I'm not
    But I'm not
    Don't question my authority or put me in a box
    'Cause I'm not
    'Cause I'm not
    Oh go and tell the king
    That the sky is falling in
    But it's not
    But it's not
    But it's not
    Maybe not
    Maybe not

  • @ananthakrishnankrishnan7287

    Oh man, I wish the songs you pick all follow standard tuning :(
    Great lessons btw!

    • @davedoingguitar
      @davedoingguitar  Před 3 lety +2

      Glad you like the lesson :)
      For this one you only need to retune one string (the low E down to D which you can tune off your natural D string), the rest is standard tuning, so you can get there if you want :) good luck!

    • @sasmitroy5480
      @sasmitroy5480 Před 2 lety

      @@davedoingguitar the tuning isn't a problem usually. But I have a strat with a floating trem so you can imagine how difficult it is to do alternate tunings. I guess I can still try this on my acoustic. Amazing tutorial tho, glad I found your channel.
