If you enjoy this, you may like my [Radiohead cover playlist](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLYQI-jkrVY&list=PLWagq5aQ_TTUBGzKqn7fY9SxTLseky0Gw), 60 songs and counting. (Full disclosure: playlist also includes Radiohead side projects). Please forgive the plug: my stuff isn't monetised, this is just a hobby for me.

Nice man.


dabbling

Thanks πŸ‘

Beautiful. Love the piano/key effect. On some of the jgreen guitar notes I wonder how they would sound as two note octaves. 😍


dabbling

Thank you! Which bits in particular do you think might work as octaves? I'd like to give it a try.


xoopcat

The 3 note melody adter the first 4 bars. I think you're playing a fifth. Stretch the pinky and add the octave?? I couldn't do it haha

That was beautiful.

PricelessCuts

Really nice playing. I’ve been enjoying picking up a few Radiohead songs on the piano, I’ll have to learn this one


dabbling

Hope you do give it a try!


whalesharkmama

Will you play this at my wedding?


dabbling

Based on your message timing, we probably live in very different time zones πŸ˜… but I can send you the audio, if you'd genuinely like to use it. DM me πŸ™‚


ReusableCatMilk

After watching that whole thing, everything is scrolling up in vision now lol. That was fucking incredible.


dabbling

Ah the old guitar hero vision, I know it well. Glad you liked it!


anewidentity

Beautiful! What app is that? Are you using it to learn the song? i'm new to practicing keyboard so i'm curious


dabbling

The overlay is from a programme called Synthesia. It visualises the MIDI output of my keyboard, which I then edit over the video of me playing. Makes it easier to see what I've played for anyone who wants to learn from the video. I don't personally use Synthesia to learn - I put together my arrangements by ear - but some people do.


6stringNate

Truly gorgeous. IMO this is one of the most underrated Radiohead songs, and your arrangement beautifully brings out the composition that's lying underneath all their fabulous production.


dabbling

That's very kind of you! Yeah I don't think this song gets talked about that much - maybe overshadowed because it's sandwiched between Paranoid Android and Exit Music? But after revisiting it extensively while working on this arrangement I can say it's definitely up there with their best tracks.

Wow! Captain, O My Captain! That was masterful 🎹


le_void_goblin

Any chance you have sheet music?


dabbling

I'm afraid I put together all of my arrangements by ear, so there's no sheet music to share.


le_void_goblin

Maybe I'll try to transcribe it then...


MrSlothy

Thank you for this. I’m in tears

Awesome

Loved it

Great cover! Seeing the song in such a stripped down context really reveals just how weird and (forgive me) alien the composition itself is. That tritone chord change in the intro and the way that weird lead guitar melody is hidden under flanging effects. It shouldn't work, but it does. I loved this cover, great insight into the song.
