Tab Gitar Radiohead – Airbag Versi 1

This is my take on the song. I left it as open as i could for interpretation. Feel free to through in your own stylistic what-not. Anyway, standard tuning, let's get to it. -Intro (it sounds like there's a cello in there too, you can approximate that by playing the octave higher, as well): Guitar 2 (distortion & reverb): E|-0-1--8--7-9--5-|-0-1--8--7-|-5--9--12-13--8--7-|-9--5--0-1--8--7--| e|-0~---------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-0~---------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-6~---------------------------------------------------------------------| D|-7~---------------------------------------------------------------------| A|-0~---------------------------------------------------------------------| E|------------------------------------------------------------------------| High-pitched riff that starts playing during Intro (This gets repeated in the verse as well): e|-12-10-9-10-9--12-10-9-10-9--12-10-9-10-| x2 -Verse: Guitar 1 - rhythm guitar (pro co rat distortion, probably) e|------------------|------------------|------------------| B|------------------|------------------|------------------| G|-6-666-66-66-6666-|-8-888-88-88------|-7-777-77-77------| D|-7-777-77-77-7777-|-7-777-77-77-2424///7-777-77-77-2424// A|-0-000-00-00-0000-|-0-000-00-00-0000-|-0-000-00-00-0000-| E|------------------|------------------|------------------| e|------------------|------------------|------------------| B|------------------|------------------|------------------| G|-7-777-77-77-7777-|-97676-66-66-6666-|-97676-66-66-6666-| D|-7-777-77-77-7777-|-77777-77-77-0000-|-77777-77-77-0000-| A|-0-000-00-00-0000-|-00000-00-00-0000-|-00000-00-00-0000-| E|------------------|------------------|------------------| e|------------------|------------------|------------------| B|------------------|------------------|------------------| G|-6-666-66-66-6666-|-8-888-88-88------|-7-777-77-77------| D|-7-777-77-77-7777-|-7-777-77-77-2424///7-777-77-77-2424// A|-0-000-00-00-0000-|-0-000-00-00-0000-|-0-000-00-00-0000-| E|------------------|------------------|------------------| e|------------------|------------------|------------------| B|------------------|------------------|-55555-55-55-5555-| G|-7-777-77-77-7777-|-97676-66-66-6666-|-77776-66-66-6666-| D|-7-777-77-77-7777-|-77777-77-77-0000-|-77777-77-77-0000-| A|-0-000-00-00-0000-|-00000-00-00-0000-|-00000-00-00-0000-| E|------------------|------------------|------------------| -Chorus: Guitar 1 e|------------------|------------------|------------------| B|------------------|------------------|------------------| G|-2-222-22-22-2222-|-2-222-22-22-2222-|-2-222-22-22-2222-| D|-1-111-11-11-1111-|-4-444-44-44-4444-|-2-222-22-22-2222-| A|-2-222-22-22-2222-|-4-444-44-44-4444-|-2-222-22-22-2222-| E|------------------|-2-222-22-22-2222-|-0-000-00-00-0000-| e|-------00-00-0000-|-------00-00-0000-|-------00-00-0000-| B|-------00-00-0000-|-------22-22-2222-|-------22-22-2222-| G|-1-111-11-11-1111-|-2-222-22-22-2222-|-2-222-22-22-2222-| D|-2-222-22-22-2222-|-2-222-22-22-2222-|-2-222-22-22-2222-| A|-2-222-22-22-2222-|-0-000-00-00-0000-|-0-000-00-00-0000-| E|-0-000-00-00-0000-|------------------|------------------| -Repeat Intro (trem guitar comes in here): Tremolo part (REVERB & ECHO): e|-5tr~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| -Verse (trem guitar part continues) e|-5tr~~4tr~~|-2tr~~4tr~~|-1tr~~|------|------------------| B|-----------|-----------|------|-3tr~~|-6tr~5tr~3tr~2tr~~| e|------------------|-5tr~~4tr~~~~~~~~|-2tr~~4tr~~|-1tr~~~| B|-6tr~5tr~3tr~2tr~~|-----------------|-----------|-------| e|-8tr~~7tr~~|-5tr~~|------------------|------------------| B|-----------|------|-6tr~5tr~3tr~2tr~~|-6tr~5tr~3tr~2tr~~| -Chorus -Verse Again with Tremolo lead-in. Solo guitar plays similar melody to trem part, without trem & the addition of bends and double-stops, etc (i.e. a guitar solo)....oh, & (no rhythm guitar) -Chorus (rhythm guitar returns) x2 -Then comes the 'BREAKDOWN/BREAKOUT' part. There is a tremolo guitar part. however, it's mostly FX, just improvise (and make it nice and epic while you're at it) (Optional Rhythm Guitar Part): e|-0-000-00-00-0-0-|-0-000-00-00-0-0-| B|-2-222-22-22-2-2-|-0-000-22-22-2-2-| G|-2-222-22-22-2-2-|-2-222-22-22-2-2-| D|-2-222-22-22-2-2-|-2-222-22-22-2-2-| A|-0-000-00-00-0-0-|-0-000-00-00-0-0-| E|-----------------|-----------------| *Bring in the intro riff at the end *AND...finish with!: e|-0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| B|-0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| G|-6~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| D|-7~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| A|-0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| E|------------------------------------------------------------------------| perhaps i exaggerated the hold time, but in any case, that's the song. cheers. | tr Tremolo pick (i.e. pick as fast as fast as you bloody well can) | / slide up
