The National Anthem By Radiohead From their "Kid A" album Tuning: Standard (EADG) There is one riff repeated throughout the entire song. I have listed a few different ways how to play the riff. Start at 0:02 and end at 5:11 into the song. Method 1 G|------------------------------| This is the easiest way to do it, D|-4-000--4-0000--3-000--2-0000-| but it can get a bit boring. A|------------------------------| E|------------------------------| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Method 2 G|------------------------------| D|-4------4-------3-------------| I play the song this way because it keeps A|---555----5555----555--7-5555-| my fingers moving instead of just staying E|------------------------------| in one place. ^ Note: This 7 can be played as 2 on the D string, but I find this way easier. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Method 3 G|-----------------------------------------| D|-----------------------------------------| Colin plays it like this live. A|-9--------9----------8--------7----------| E|---101010---10101010---101010---10101010-| ^ Note: This 7 can be played as 12 on the E string if you think that's easier. Note: 101010 is played as 10-10-10, not 1-0-1-0-1-0. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Once you choose which method you want to play with, have fun playing along to arguably one of the easiest basslines ever created. | / slide up | \ slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato | + harmonic | x Mute note
