I’ve also taken a hint from the descending bass-line and used a descending line harmonised with thirds in bars 24 and 34. Particularly with the country bend in bar 26. Solo: My take on the solo is a bit more in the Jackson Browne style. That continues until you ease back into the alternating style in bar 16. There’s a break from the alternating picking when you switch to one-finger-per-string picking in bar 12. the final C note in bar 6 and the C-string, second fret in bar 8. This time it’s because some of the melody notes go low enough to fall on the C-string e.g. Verse: Some more switching of the pattern in this section. That run goes C-B-A-G in the first bar and needs the F on the C-string to finish it off. I’ve done to complete the descending line on the g-string. Intro: Setting up the cotton picking pattern along with the thumb alternating between the g- and C-strings, the index finger picking the E-string and the middle A.Įxcept in bars 1 and 3 you start on the g-string and in the others you’re starting on the C-string. I couldn’t resist playing the Cotton picking guitar of the Nico version (played by Browne himself) on the ukulele. This arrangement is based on Nico’s version rather the more laid-back Jackson Browne version version. Drake, not so much.īut the song was written by Jackson Browne and first released by Nico.

There’s lots of scope for your own ideas here.Īfter that, it’s another run through the chorus and a fade out with a little of Freakshow Industries’ Backmask added. Solo: The solo takes its inspiration from the bass line. Which is the most Radioheady part of the song.Ĭhorus: Even more moving around here, but it’s less intense. There’s a lot more moving around the neck in this section, with the transition between bars 17 and 18 being tricky (I flubbed that bit in the video). The only slightly tricky part here is the run down from the fifth fret in bar 12.īridge: I’m mostly using one-finger-per-string picking in this section until the last two bars. Verse: Sticking with the same picking for the verse. To prepare for the change to that, fret the E-string, third fret in the first half of the bar with your little finger. On the Eb chord there’s a nice addition of an F note making it an Ebsus2. Intro: Mostly picking out the chords with the thumb on the C-string and the middle and index on the E and A, respectively. Now it’s time for the OK Computer track Karma Police.
I’ve written up quite a few Radiohead songs in the past.
