Paranoid Android (Radiohead)
The Tablature to the Radiohead song Paranoid Android. one of the
more complex songs on this site but weel worth learning for a
Radiohead fan.
Ok.....this is one of Radiohead's best songs to date in my
opinion. I decided it was worth sitting down for ages tabbing
it out....so here it is; I have attempted to transcribe this to
play most of the song on one guitar, and if you have some pedals
you should be able to switch between clean and distorted sounds
and achieve a good match to the song.
Enjoy, and any corrections or anything I've missed out, please
email me at:
