Radiohead Anyone Can Play Guitar Bass Tab

Artist:    Radiohead
Song: Anyone Can Play Guitar
Album: Pablo Honey
Tabbed by: AA23 (aceacetwothree@hotmail.com)

I've only done the main riff, but that's the cool part. My speakers aren't
very good here and I can't tell the octaves for the rest of it through the
distortion

This part is mostly correct. I haven't been able to see any concert footage
(let alone in person), so any corrections are appreciated.


Main Riff 1 (Main)
|1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & |1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & |

D|--------------------------------|--------------------------------|
A|7-------7-----5-7---7-----------|(7)-----7-----5-7---7-------5-2-|
E|(0)-------------------------5-7-|0-------------------------------|


A|3---/---15----1415--15------14--|3---/---15----1415--15------14--|
E|------------------------------15|------------------------------15|


Main Riff variation during verse 1 & 2
D|---5-----|
A|-----7-5-|
E|---------|

I'll post the rest soon

well I dunno what the song really means but playing guitar seems to make you somebody. I played guitar once for a school thing and then for ages I'm being called guitar girl and ppl know who I am and even if they don't they know I play guitar. 'anybody can play guitar and they wont be a nothing nemore'.

Anyone can play guitar and they won't be a nothing anymore. The rush of getting up there and going mad on your guitar where you unleash all your feelings thru the speakers, and the crowd goes wild and praises you... they're all going absolutely wild for YOU and your music... wow.

the line, "destiny protect me from the world" is really clever. it would be easy to claim that nothing you can do is wrong cos its destined to happen, and therefore feel that your actions have no consequences that you are really responsble for. the line implies that this would be wrong, because it would be shielding yourself from real life.

pretty good song..but it seems like they didn't put alot of work into it..i mean it's just verse-chorus-verse-chorus..Radiohead rules, they can do better. Oh yeah, and I think it should be faster..it seems like it 'drags'.

this songs pretty cool, pablo honey is obviously a sophomore album but has some awesome hits. When it comes to this song, I love the non-chorus part, but when it comes to the chorus, it seems to ruin the song. Oh well, my 2 cents.

I don't want to be Jim Morrison. I think Thom is being sarcastic, like in 'The Bends'...they asked if he really wished it was the 60's, and he told them he didn't at all, said it was a joke. Jim Morrison was a vapid poet who was made into an idol because of good looks and poetry that was mostly LSD induced...and it wasn't good at all.
