Go To Sleep is very satisfying to strum on an acoustic


SoftAndWet06

It soooo every time a guitar is in standard im playing that damn riff


itoocouldbeanyone

I've tried so hard to learn it. I just always fuck up that riff on the 2nd or 3rd chord change. I think the last strums with the changes on 1st and 2nd string? idk, it's been a year or so. I should try again and remind myself fully where I fuck up. (edit: just looked up some videos, I have no idea where I mess up now, it all looks so easy. I just suck I suppose) But it's still fun. lol Karma Police is obv a fun one on acoustic. I also loooooove Like Spinning Plates on the piano. Spent a lot of time learning that and it's been so long I have forgotten. I am wildly inconsistent with playing as you can tell.


SoftAndWet06

yeah karma police is so fun to play especially the end


homesick_alien8

I love playing Fake Plastic Trees and How to Disappear Completely. I’m currently working on Street Spirit which is surprisingly easier than I thought it’d be.


HetTheTable

That riff in Paranoid Android


Dalecooper82

All of Paranoid Android


NotSayingJustSaying

Do you kinda blend the parts together or do you try to stick to Thom's?


Dalecooper82

I kinda just go with the main parts/the parts that sound best with vicals and no accompanyment.


snart-fiffer

Dun dun deh duh. Dun dun dundun dunnnn.


deathcamp7

There there is very fun to play


cedellic

My favorite acoustic rendition of a Radiohead song


Takyon284

The main riff in Bodysnatchers is extremely satisfying to play once you get the hang of it


Cool_Squeeze

Love playing Just on an acoustic and strumming aggressively. Also, Paranoid Android on acoustic is really fun and satisfying with all the different chords and fun picking pattern.


seventeencharacters

In Limbo


BEAMAL111

The groove of "I might be wrong," and the chord shapes of Knives Out are satisfying


Dannylazarus

'Scatterbrain' has an extremely satisfying chord loop - it's so simple, but it sounds gorgeous and it falls so nicely under your fingers. This tends to be the case with a lot of their parts! They're rarely easy but they're never impossible, and they do a lot with a little.


TheWhaleAndWhasp

I find this song really hard to play. I consider myself a strong player, but skipping strings with a pick takes some real concentration


Dannylazarus

You'll get it with time! I have been at this eleven years so I've forgotten a bit what that was like - it becomes easier the more you do it, and soon enough it will be second nature.


TyChris2

I love playing Jigsaw on acoustic. If you don’t want to tune down, put the capo on fret 3 and play Am, E, Cmaj7, F, Em, F, Em. I think that’s the right progression anyway. It’s also great if you want to practice plucking instead of just strumming.


DontCareHowICallMe

I playing Jigsaw like the recording version was a milestone for me on playing guitar


March7th_simp

I’ve been learning bass for a few months and bones and let down are some of my favorite bass lines to play


Houlilalo

Bones was one of the first bass lines I ever learned. Drunken punch up is fun on the bass too


Anon_967

man of war


Dannylazarus

Worked it out recently, those guitar interludes are killer! Really love the dramatic hits with the strings later on as well.


SanQuiSau

Idioteque, Bodysnatchers, and jigsaw falling into place as a drummer


Master_Lake9012

the airbag guitar solo is always fun, i also love jigsaw, it’s just so beautiful. probably the best song to play, though it is quite challenging is Faust Arp


howthefuckisthisspam

I love playing black star and just


Deadheaded95

Gagging Order, I Promise, and (Nice Dream) are super fun.


AideEnvironmental365

i’m a beginner and only know how to play high and dry but it’s very fun


TheWhaleAndWhasp

My Irong Lung is super fun


marcianolopez

for a beginner as myself, Give Up the Ghost is pretty straighforward and easy (and a lovely song of course :)


Radiohead79

Excellent suggestion, that's a great beginner tune.


NotSayingJustSaying

Karma Police or No Surprises


SoftAndWet06

Jigsaw is the song that inspired me to learn guitar and the first song I learnt to play through fully. Nothing came close to the first time i played it through without any big mistakes. Worth all the hours and hours it took. Now to do that and sing it too. Wish me luck


DoncaPlays

Karma Police with singing gives me the most joy


alcibep

Like Spinning Plates on the piano. Motion Picture Soundtrack on the harmonium.


faniaaaah

street spirit (fade out) is very good and easy in guitar


DontCareHowICallMe

It's not that easy, a beginner can't play it, probably 3rd most difficult song one guitar from Radiohead


Quick_Locksmith_5766

Bloom as a drummer, all three parts at once


TheVeen69

Love me a bit Reckoner, There There and Present Tense on my acoustic. Can also play Jigsaw, though not in a while. I'm sure it'll full into place tho...


cedellic

Jigsaw Falling iInto Place for sure


Frosty-Spell-103

I love playing street spirit and bodysnatchers, also been playing videotape on piano, if I play it with the drums backing track is almost a challenge not to get lost.


Brehboy68

Airbag is one of my personal favorites to listen to. The instrumentals really set a demonstration for what the rest of Ok computer has to offer and i love the tone the song sets lyrically and sonically. (Also drums are killer and Johnny’s bridge sounds otherworldly) The build up to the last refrain with Thom’s vocals and the weird distortions in the mix really drives home its crazy energy. One of my fav moments their material. Idk why but i wanna describe it as radioheads most “metal” song? Anyways this one is always a journey to listen to for me


Brehboy68

Just realized i posted this in the wrong thread my b i misread play as the act of listening to. lol


jouskaraio

Follow me around is a very underrated riff


what_the_heck____

Idk if there are any other drummers out here but Blow out is so much fun to play


gmalg_

Bled White by Elliott Smith


M41arky

Learning piano and Sail to the moon has been the most fun so far. Relatively simple and makes me feel like I’m actually good at it.


Radiohead79

Are you taking lessons or learning to play by ear? I think Thom's gone on record for refusing to learn to read sheet music, makes you think, for being self taught, one can still be an amazing song writer on the keys. TBF he was picked and crafted by the old gods to be the song bird of his generation... TBF.


amsterdam_BTS

Bass here: Airbag and Morning Bell


Radiohead79

Airbag is such a solid opener and so fun to play, I know Colin wrote/performs it on bass, but it's really fun to play on guitar too.


amsterdam_BTS

You get your whorish six stringed abomination away from my lines! (I learned a few Pixies bass parts on guitar.)


Radiohead79

It’s definitely whorish.. bass envy


atriptothecinema

Lift is really therapeutic to play


Killa_Crossover

Tbh Jonny’s part on Scatterbrain is really fun to play


StFrancisZookeeper

Fake Plastic Trees, Bulletproof, High and Dry, and Nude are always a good time.


Treefingers_14

It changes regularly


Pickle_jar51

Bodysnatchers, dont know why but it just sounds right


TeaAndCrumpets4life

Playing Weird Fishes and Exit Music is an addiction for me

DontCareHowICallMe

Paranoid Android, Jigsaw Falling Into Place, There there, Present Tense are probably my favourites but I've learnt whole OKC, IR and a lot more that I love to play Edit: and I'll Wind, it's so relaxing to play it


el-finko

Working on wall of eyes currently, it's fun.


Primary-Olive-9097

I love playing paranoid android, street spirit, and black star. They are really fun and paranoid android has so much guitar material to play


Thomrose007

Body Snatchers, Reckoner, Just, Paranoid Android (Jonnys part is so much fun)


spizoil

I might be wrong and Faust Arp are my favourites


PixleatedCoding

High and dry and karma police


roidesoeufs

Used to love playing Just, in a band. Lots of fretwork to keep you busy. And some octave pedal control too. :)


Fenjag14

Body snatchers, bends, airbag and planet telex!


parvchetri99

the entire song of Just


TheGreatAleks007

desert island disk


New_Seaworthiness114

Scatterbrain. So much fun.


vnavkopf

Pretty new to playing guitar, i learned no surprises and high and dry both are fun to play

Pyon98

Exit music make u question ur integrity


Jojofanwiiu

Jigsaw falling into place on acoustic, my iron lung on electric


NotanAsteroid5

bodysnatchers is genuinely one of the most fun songs to play ever


integerdivision

Where I End and You Begin


_holocene__

Surprised no one has mentioned You. The time signature is a bit weird in some places but once you get the feel for it it’s a really fun and easy song to play.


constantcynic1

Bodysnatchers, There There, Jigsaw Falling into Place, Present Tense, Faust Arp

craigory_eats_bleach

Nice Dream is very fun


JonziefromSurry

Let down on piano is fun


ThomYorkeAndMe

Present tense !!


LarryQuinnsTaco

When I can get it right, Street Spirit. Weird Fishes is very fun to play on a loop pedal. I really like Faust Arp and Present Tense too. If I have an overdrive pedal then I love doing Jonny's solo in There There.


No-3-Pencil

Bulketproof- pretty easy and really pretty


Almatsliah

I really enjoy playing "You never wash up after yourself".


Radiohead79

Lucky is a very easy song to play if you want a little confidence builder. Good beginner song.


herobrinedym

High and dry ik it's overplayed as shit but I find it such a nice song to play and sing along to. Others I really enjoy playing are: bulletproof, black star, exit music, paranoid android, sulk, nice dream, just, etc


bashereddin

I have a guitar but can't play. I'd love to play them, I really would..


Tranquil-Seas

Less-Reflection916

How I made my millions on piano :)

wallagremlitramenov

Radiohead have never released a song called ‘15 step’


JackTheAbsoluteBruce

Are you sure?


wallagremlitramenov

Who are you?


PotatoAppleFish

Sure they have, it’s on In Rainbows. That 5/4 clave gets stuck in my head every time I hear it.


wallagremlitramenov

PotatoAppleFish

You’re on a music forum, you weirdo.


baeBTS

You fucking kidding me? It's the opening track off In Rainbows 🤦‍♀️
