This riff Ed plays isnt too audible but its there.



I am sure that instead of the above ed actually plays the G and B strings at

the nut i.e. to the left of the first fret. this produces that high pitched

sound." <-- comment from Doug Stuart

VERSION 2:

"Climbing Up The Walls"

>From OK Computer

by Radiohead

Tabbed By Chuck Frame

Corrections by Seb (93sperry@worth.org.uk)



There is little guitar that you can hear properly to speak of in the 

recording, but if you use these chords you can make a reasonable sounding 

version of Climbing Up The Walls. (Those of you who know how to play 

Bullet With Butterfly Wings by the Smashing Pumpkins will notice that the 

tab is similar. (I am not sure about some of the exact names of the 

chords but bear with me.):



Thom plays aan acoustic guitar (live at least) Ed plays electric. Jonny play no guitar on this track. At Glastonbury, he had what looked like the remote control of  a remote controlled car, to make weird noises. During the verses, Ed plays harmonics (I don't know where) - and towards the end jonny plays some piano-like instrument to make the howling noises
