Yeah I think they are choosing keys in which they can use open strings on purpose. They even tuned the G string to Gb on 'Jigsaw falling into place' just so that they can use an open string
@@nikolagugoski It gives a lot of 'texture' to their guitar work. Makes it sound like like multiple instruments playing together. Sort of like playing the riding bass line with your thumb, but with more depth.
As an older dude it still amazes me that I can get this stuff on the internet. I remember as a broke kid getting caught copying tab from the bends into a notebook in a music store lol

@@jotarokujo1968 I thought Ed was the texture/atmospheric effects man. I always thought he added his work on top of the foundation. Though it's totally possible he contributed more than I think.
Yeah, I figured late that it would be better to maybe put street spirit instead of a wolf at the door. Tried weird fishes, but couldn't make it to sound right. Thanks for watching 🙏
So many of these riffs give me goosebumps. As a radiohead fan this is one of the best videos on youtube. Most of these riffs are well within my skill level but I've never bothered to learn them. So having them all in a succinct video with tabs is amazing. THANK YOU!
Little By Little and Go To Sleep are the two most underrated Radiohead songs (in my opinion!) and both have awesome guitars. Love to see them included 😍
I'm not a big fan of Go To Sleep, but I kinda agree with Little By Little. Most underrated for me would include a lot of Pablo Honey and the majority of TKOL/AMSP.
I know I’m asking you to bite the bullet but it would be nice if you did more of these, heck even do a comprehensive video on pretty much all riffs in Radiohead’s discography someday
So many great riffs from Radiohead. And always interesting to listen to. Watching this makes me want to listen to all their albums again. You play them so beautifully too.
Radiohead is music that don't feel right to listen to casually on Spotify. Instead, I want to put the CDs in, put on headphones, read the lyrics in the booklet and remember how the songs let me immerse myself for the first time in a world of emotions that only Radiohead can trigger.
I just have seen this video randomly. I'm a guitar player, and it just appear in the playlist. The sound of all guitars are by itself so much powerful and texturized that can be able to take you out of this world. Your comment it's inspiring and definitvely the most accurate descripción of what happen in My inner self when i listen this band. And when i play any of their songs, it's just flow. Pure flow.
Wow, your selection is perfect. When I saw the video title, I immediately thought about Airbag, Knives Out, I might be wrong, and My Iron Lung. The Bends is so full of great guitar riffs and tones. And Amensiac too, my favorite album of theirs. It's like the "guitar" counterpart of Kid A. Lovely tones and melodies on that album. I think the only riff missing would be "Reckoner", which is so simple, yet so mesmerising. But you still included my 3 favorite tracks of Radiohead: No Surprises, 2 + 2 = 5, and Let Down.
Honestly when I first saw the Strat I was like "Really? why would he use a strat to play Radiohead?" but i'll be damned if it doesn't sound fantastic. Flawless playing, too!
I love Johnny greenwood man, dude is underrated imo, innovative and able to portray emotion so effortlessly through a guitar, he can set the tone for a whole song through his compositions.
Fantastic! A really enjoyable listen and also a great advert for Radiohead's back catalogue. I was initially shocked not to see Street Spirit on the list as it's one of my personal favourites. But on reflection, a guitarist of that level would maybe consider it too simple.
@@nikolagugoski in 1997 as a student I bought myself the cheapest Strat in the store and started self teaching. One of the primary motivations was to learn that riff. I managed it, but sadly I didn't give it the dedication over the years to be at a really good level. Videos like yours inspire me to pick up the guitar much more often.
i started guitar about two months ago but am starting to practice alittle harder recently. ive been coming back to these videos and been SLIGHTLY more successful at playing some parts that i want to play (at least parts of those parts). thanks for uploading this
Thank you so much for this video ! I'm a little bit surprised you didn't include Street Spirit (Fade Out), every guitar player I know has tried to nail it at some point in their lives.
This was badass and I’m giving you even more credit for using a Squier. I have a squire butterscotch telecaster and it is amazing. That’s cool you showed some love for Squier.
I started playing guitar in the uk in 1994. Radioheads street spirit was a school favourite. If you could play that you were a god…then wonderwall appeared. The fast octave chords of Just were also great
i love how i´ve been watching your videos since the RHCP tutorials, and then i stopped watching them because I got deeper into electronic music, including radiohead, which is now my favourite band. So it was a really great surprise to find videos about radiohead after all these years. keep the good work man!!!
Really gives a deeper appreciation of the complexity and originality of Radiohead and in most cases, probably Jonny Greenwood (I'm guessing). Makes sense as to why he’s now a top Hollywood composer. 2+2=5 could be an 18th century concerto in another world: 'Nocturne, Op. 7. in F Minor' by Jean Bois-vert

Be sure to try Justin Guitar App if you are starting on guitar. It got really well structured lessons and exercises bit.ly/3Enq56S
Strongly agree.
Just signed up for that bad boy.
One thing I've always loved about radiohead, as a guitar player, is their heavy use of open strings.
Yeah I think they are choosing keys in which they can use open strings on purpose. They even tuned the G string to Gb on 'Jigsaw falling into place' just so that they can use an open string
@@nikolagugoski It gives a lot of 'texture' to their guitar work. Makes it sound like like multiple instruments playing together. Sort of like playing the riding bass line with your thumb, but with more depth.
Intervals, double-stops, Hendrix.
They also seem to slide in an out of major and minor on that open note a lot
There u can see,it aint neccessary to use always pressed strings,.u just need to combine melodies
Jigsaw Falling Into Place is a 11/10 riff
No I'm pretty sure it's in 4/4

@@comradeobama119 Perhaps there is another level of “things” to seek…
Airbag is monumental.
That intro riff with the sound of the guitar feels like it foreshadows a doomsday.
So true. It's a proclamation of the album to come.
The bass line coming in on Airbag is one of my favourite moments of anything ever
It’s also so simple… as great a guitar player as he is… often times Radiohead licks aren’t particularly hard to play
Airbag is absolute perfection. And the bass*drums are incredible.
Yeah, I still can’t believe a guitar could even make those noises like in Bodysnatchers.
2+2=5 is literally at 2:25
damn that’s brilliant
Jonny Greenwood comes up with some great riffs, man, definitely a super innovative guitarist
Totally. Big inspiration for me while learning
Often I wonder if it was Jonny or thom who wrote which pieces.
@zombockerman dont forget ed. i feel like you can often tell which ones are thoms by the use of arpeggios across all strings and the fact theyre usually cleaner like paranoid androids intro and knives out
@@jotarokujo1968 I thought Ed was the texture/atmospheric effects man. I always thought he added his work on top of the foundation. Though it's totally possible he contributed more than I think.
he’s classically trained so better hope these are good
I wonder if we all expected My Iron Lung as the first pick. Such an iconic riff.
I certainly did! Very nice riff!
I used to play My Iron Lung with the A string tuned down to G....I think, long time ago.
cuz its basic lmfao
@@wilshire8583 You're basic
@@JFullerUCSB ironically youre stupid if you disagree

Bodysnatchers tone was so close to the record it’s unbelievable. Nice work as usual!
Listen to the record again
@@chasefrancis1947 do the same mate

I was listening to different pedals and the big muff pi can reproduce it pretty closely
Incredible! No street spirit or weird fishes but still 20 great riffs.
Yeah, I figured late that it would be better to maybe put street spirit instead of a wolf at the door. Tried weird fishes, but couldn't make it to sound right. Thanks for watching 🙏
And Staircase, Maquiladora, India Rubber, These are my twisted words, etc, etc
@@AntonioHernandezmatematico staircase have only chorus not even a guitar riff
@@nikolagugoski Paranoid Android's iconic intro is missing here.
@Antonio Twisted Words is massively under rated. Absolutely haunting tune with great guitar lines the whole way through
weird fishes has a really good riff imo, personally think it's one of their best isolated riffs
Yeah, but it's technically like 4 Guitar riffs at once (though to be fair, "Knives Out" is similar with 3).
That and Reckoner.
Let Down always gives me goosebumps and a deep ache. That's a really hard part to play, I'm impressed. Thank you for the tab.
I still have no idea what the second guitar is playing. I can play the notes, but couldn't figure out at what point comes in and how is exactly played
all time favourite…
It's because the piece is polymetric, which makes it difficult trying to analyse the song. The Guitars are in 5/4 but the Drums are in 4/4.
Weird that "Electioneering" was overlooked. That was one of the first lead riffs I ever learned, and still one of the most satisfying things to play.
radiohead just has too many good riffs to pick from
I never noticed that "a wolf at the door"'s riff sounds a lot like "She's so heavy" (from the Beatles) 4:43
This made me appreciate Radiohead even more than I already did, which I wasn't sure was possible. Beautiful. Thank you.
HOLY SHIT MY JAW DROPPED AT THE 2+2=5 TAB WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK THAT'S SO AMAZING LITERALLY READING THE TAB TELLS A STORY
JEEEZZZZ JIGSAW FALLING INTO PLACE WAS SMOOOTHHHH
I've always loved Radiohead, there's just something about their songs that can't be matched
A wolf at door always give me chills
That one 3/4 in Faust Arp cracks me up. Couldn't be normal even for a moment could you guys!
You have no clue how much time you've saved in so many peoples lives . Awesome
Thanks you for watching! Hope that's true 🙂

Couldn’t aggree more 💯❤️
Not going to lie, I think the whole Hail To The Thief album is underrated
Radiohead is not about the riffs but they have amazing ones
its a crime to not have weird fishes here 😭
Well, it ain't a riff, just some chords in a very constant arpeggio
@@lov_eliso do no surprises, right?

Every song sounds like an anxiety attack lmao
That's the point
The Bends sound like a Pumpkins song with the Cadd9 to that open B minor thing over two octaves.
as i hear Thom Yorke say "Ed o'Brien is a riff machine"
In Limbo is very underrated imo
I was hoping for In Limbo!
And The Trickster and Polyethylene
Yes @Nikola! I just started learning Bodysnatchers after watching the Smile do their NPR tiny desk concert. Perfect timing ☺️
Watched that npr session the other day! Thank you for watching and for the support 😊
So many great riffs from Radiohead. And always interesting to listen to. Watching this makes me want to listen to all their albums again.
You play them so beautifully too.
Jonny Greenwood is one of those all time legends, never gets enough credit
What is really shocking is how many great songs Radiohead has made in the last 30 years. Great work man :)
I would have put nude…it’s simple but adds a layer that sounds like raining falling slowly, and Jonny raking his strings is just masterful

Every riff unique, the soul of Radiohead... well played 👋👋👋👋
Where is street spirit?!?!??
Exactly😢
Permanent Daylight, Polyethylene and Pearly also have killer riffs, but they are b-sides
Took the words right out of my mouth! Or thumbs in this case
I love how once you've listened to enough Radiohead, you can easily start to point out: "Ah, that's a Jonny riff" or, "Yup, that's a Thom riff!"

You nailed every tone. Impressive

Thanks for watching! Gear doesn't really matter if you ask me. I usually don't even use real pedals/amps
Ed O’Brien plays Strats a lot.

Great job!
Was waiting for Myxomatosis though!
Thank Mike. Don't know how I missed that one. Amazing riff
@@nikolagugoskiYes! I also love In Limbo
I was very surprised Scatterbrain didn’t make this list, either (speaking of Hail to the Thief). One of my favorite guitar pieces ever.

Love being able to see the composition in multiple ways so fast
Mad respect for Little By Little
All of these riffs are incredibly genius
God I love "I might be wrong"!
Wow man.. you play. Go to sleep was great... but all your riffs were magic.
Thanks! 😃
Excellent tab visuals. Can you please do a top 20 for The Smiths?
I’ve never realised it until watching someone play it but the Knives Out riff and Paranoid Android opening riff have quite a lot in common
No weird finishes is criminal

Спасибо, Никола! Ты делаешь огромную работу для нас) Нам остается только взять гитару и сыграть) И то, мы это не всегда делаем)
Surely the intro riff to paranoid Android deserved a spot
I love these riffs, I love Radiohead, OMG!!!!!
That classic vibe jazzmaster you're using was my first guitar i got.
Myxomatosis is pretty excellent too imo.
Yeah, missed that one somehow
I started playing guitar in the uk in 1994. Radioheads street spirit was a school favourite. If you could play that you were a god…then wonderwall appeared. The fast octave chords of Just were also great
here is my list
1- just
2- just intro
3- just chorus
4- iron lung
5- just outro
The perfect list
just listened to ok computer for the first time last week and the paranoid android riff has become one of my favorite riffs ever
AMSP has some excellent riffs, on songs like The Numbers and Present Tense especially

Very nice work on recreating the sound of them ! Perfect use of effects
Thank you! Tried my best
6:17 Let Down! ❤🥺 LOVED IT
The title was accurate and i appreciate it
Paranoid should be on there twice, once for the heavy section and once for the verses in the quiet parts. Both riffs are amazing.
I was honestly thinking of doing that :D
Wicked rundown! I'd have swapped 2+2=5 with myxomatosis for sure. Respect.
Oh interesting! You do an upstroke on the e string for Let Down. Great stuff!!
Love it. More radiohead 🤟
