Tab Bass Radiohead – Fake plastic trees Versi 1

May 19 2003 Tabbed By: Skuff This is an amazing track and to play it properly you have to build it up correctly through the song, starting lightly on the first verse then slowly getting heavier throughout the song until the end and the chorus. I started with O-Doyles tab which is correct in a sense but if you listen carefully to the song, its mainly played on the bottom E string this enables you to achieve the slides that lead into the chorus and other notes here and there. This is my first tab so cut me some slack here Ive only been play since March 2003 but I love this song so I though Id tab my version. First, opening intro with guitar and Thom Yorke Ive tried to give you a general idea of the timing but its not hard to figure out once you listen to the track. Start Time (you should know when!): 0:33 Softly stroke those strings Verse 1 g | ----------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------- | d |
