Raidohead-Paranoid Android
PARANOID ANDROID - by Radiohead, from the album 'Ok Computer'
--------------------------------------------------------------
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.
Ok, just follow the fills and when when a certain part should
be played again at another point in the song, the fill to play
is shown - just refer back:
