@@davedoingguitar 100% agree. They're chord voicings blew my mind. Go to sleep, optimistic, these are my twisted words introduced me to alternate tunings and open chord voicings that just changed the way I looked at guitar. Great pick!
Dude great tutorial. I’ve been trying so hard to figure out the proper way to play the bridge and absolutely no one does it right...till now. Hats off to you mate
Thanks so much Matthew! Yeah every riff in this tune is absolutely killer, and I was pretty happy with what I figured out for each part. Think I picked most of it up from the In Rainbows From The Basement video on YT which is stellar 👌
Hey thanks so much Hafiz :) i think I’ve just got a bit of low/mid level overdrive on which I get from a pedal called Holy Fire by Creation Audio Labs.
Your tutorials are incredible. I’m still pretty beginner and never dreamed I could play the opening riff to Bodysnatchers (very slowly of course lol). Just subscribed:)
Hey that's awesome! I want everyone of any skill level to be able to play the music they want so I try to explain it all reasonably simply. Really glad you've found them useful :)
Bro I don't know how I've missed this tutorial but DAAAAAAMN MAN! ABSOLUTELY FRIGGIN SPOT ON! I had to look back and see whether Jonny Greenwood himself was teaching this Tutorial!! (Then I realized you had an Australian accent) 😆 No really- cheers man! Thank you for this!
Haha thanks so much. I am definitely not Johnny Greenwood that's for sure but I'm glad you really found the tutorial helpful. Got a bunch more Radiohead tutorials on my channel here (as well as plenty of others) so knock yourself out :)
Hi Kevin, yeah for the 10 - 12 10 - 12 10 - 12 section of that first riff it's picked, but almost strummed in a way. I think in the recording there may be a second guitar just doing a rhythmic muted strum on the quarter notes (when the snare hits) which gives it that sort of lurching feeling. So to get that effect you want to keep your wrist loose on your picking hand and strike/strum a couple of the lower strings when you play those 10 - 12 10 - 12 10 - 12 notes (basically not being super accurate with your picking hand) and muting the strings ones you're not hearing a note out of. Might take some practice to get it clean. Hope that helps :)
I would have been using my Creation Audio Labs Holy Fire pedal which is my go to for some good crunchy sounds. Amp is a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe and I'm playing a Hagstrom Viking Deluxe :)
Thanks so much :) It's called an Ebow. It basically makes a small current that vibrates a string and sustains the note for as long as you're holding it on there. Really cool. I got mine from eBay but I'm sure they're in music stores too
when this song came out I could never envisage having the skill/technique to tackle that outro.. I think il take it up to 7 minutes of the lesson and enjoy that bit lol
The song is a lot harder than one would think, it's a continuous strum that never deviates even on the 10-12 parts. Left handing muting is the hardest part. See here for the correct way: ruclips.net/video/PzF7uyJ4jEc/видео.html
i seemingly strummed it hard or with an accent on the intro. so that's why some of the unwanted strings played open randomly guess i play it lightly then with the effects on it :/

God, what a good Riff
Isn't it great! Listening back through a bit of Radiohead at the moment. Such an amazing band
@@davedoingguitar 100% agree.

Great pick!
@@greenvelvet Yeah absolutely. Their progressions have a really unique quality to them. Optimistic is one of my favourites too!

Solid tutorial indeed. But let’s also not overlook the great sound you’re getting. That crunch sounds crazy good. How are you getting that?
Hey thanks so much Hafiz :) i think I’ve just got a bit of low/mid level overdrive on which I get from a pedal called Holy Fire by Creation Audio Labs.
@@davedoingguitar Well then share your settings :)
Comprehensive and accurate. Thank you.
You're welcome :)
I just went back to learning this song. Wow, I had a lot wrong. Your tutorial is awesome. Thank you!
Glad I could help you out :)
Thank you for doing this very detailed and organized

Awesome tutorial and an awesome tone, congrats!
Thanks so much swennxie! :)
Thanks so much for this mate!! Can't wait to learn 😊😊
My pleasure! Have fun with it :)
Great tutorial, thanks for posting

i am obsessed with the lead 4 xD
The little ebow part? It's good fun and sounds great with the rest of the backing too :)
@@davedoingguitar yep that one i wish i had an ebow 😂
I got mine on ebay so could have a look there :)
@@davedoingguitar i will thx
for the first riff, the 10 - 12 10 - 12 10 - 12 part, do you just pick each string? im having a hard time making it sound good

@@davedoingguitar Thanks for the detailed reply u rock!
No worries at all Kev :)
Is it picked though? I know that Ed picks it, but Thom seems to strum the intro while muting the other strings when they play live.
Just discovered your channel. Subbed immediately 🔥
Thank you so much Marty! :)
How are you getting that brilliant fuzzz tone ?
I would have been using my Creation Audio Labs Holy Fire pedal which is my go to for some good crunchy sounds. Amp is a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe and I'm playing a Hagstrom Viking Deluxe :)
Absolut stunning tutorial but Wtf is that blue light machine and where can I get one?
Thanks so much :)

Great vid man keep it up
HippieSoldier100 thanks so much. Will do!
Nice guitar! Is it the Hagström Alvar?
Thank you! It's a Hagström Viking Deluxe! :)
holy fck, this riff is hard x__x
Yep, fair bit going on!
when this song came out I could never envisage having the skill/technique to tackle that outro.. I think il take it up to 7 minutes of the lesson and enjoy that bit lol
Is this applicable on acoustic?
Yeah for sure, as long as you're tuned correctly you can play it on acoustic too
The song is a lot harder than one would think, it's a continuous strum that never deviates even on the 10-12 parts. Left handing muting is the hardest part. See here for the correct way: ruclips.net/video/PzF7uyJ4jEc/видео.html
Thanks for that link. This tutorial is excellent and the other one is next level.
Correct, I honestly wanna see if I can get good at the strumming, if not then I’ll just pick
Nice
Martin Echeverria thanks Martin!
Can you make a tutorial owen - an island songs.. i'll appreciate
I'll check it out 👍
Just made this for you - ruclips.net/video/VnCxS0qP1mY/видео.html
@@davedoingguitar thank's a lot, man .. greetings from samarinda,Indonesia
@@adityarr2127 No worries! Hope all is well over there for you :)
What guitar is that
It's a Hagstrom Viking Deluxe :)
Where the guitar solo?
13:53 is that what you call a pinch harmonic?
i seemingly strummed it hard or with an accent on the intro. so that's why some of the unwanted strings played open randomly
guess i play it lightly then with the effects on it :/
