Update: I posted a lesson for the intro, so check that out if you want.

Here is a beginner's lesson for my favorite song on guitar-- High and Dry by Radiohead. Please comment and rate!

The base for the strum pattern is:
D D D Du uD DuDu
(i left a space for every D or U that didn't get strummed...)

Here are the lyrics:
Two jumps in a week,
I bet you think that's pretty clever don't you boy?
Flying on your motorcycle,
watching all the ground beneath you drop
You'd kill yourself for recognition,
kill yourself to never, ever stop
You broke another mirror,
you're turning into something you are not

Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry
Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry

Drying up in conversation,
you'll be the one who cannot talk
All your insides fall to pieces,
you just sit there wishing you could still make love
They're the ones who'll hate you
when you think you've got the world all sussed out
They're the ones who'll spit on you,
you'll be the one screaming out

Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry
Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry

Oh, it's the best thing that you ever had,
the best thing that you ever, ever had.
It's the best thing that you ever had,
the best thing you have had has gone away.

Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry
Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry
Don't leave me high,
Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry

  • wo0t! Thanks a lot ...

    wo0t! Thanks a lot for your effort with all these tutorials!

    One note though, the open F# chord doesn't sound right to me. I clearly see you strum it just pressing the index, pinky, and ring finger. But it sounds right to me only when I include my middle finger in the F#. Any suggestions?
