RADIOHEAD
THE PRESENT TENSE
Unlike the other tabs, this one is for the album version rather than the solo version Thom played ages ago.
This one has a different, more samba-like groove(and is also a half-step higher).
I tabbed the main guitar exclusively.
Enjoy!
CAPO 1 (Everything relative to capo - Imagine your capo is now the nut of your guitar)
You can also play along with Thom's Paris solo show, but remove the capo.
