Radiohead - Identikit
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Guitar is played with a delay pedal set on 1 repeat. Delay time is equal to
6 16th notes or something like that. It must feel like the repeated note
lands just before the 'three'. Without this effect, the tab is quite worthless.
Guitar is in standard tuning, no capo.
BPM of the studio version is about 150.7.
The beat of the studio version starts at the 'two', which is a bit confusing
at first.
s
The solo is a bit hard to follow, just improvise a lot on that part.

Hope that's kinda close. Just hit some of those notes and the
delay makes it cool.
Feel free to comment if you want to say something about it!
