T SPIRIT
by RADIOHEAD
from THE BENDS
There are four picking patterns used throughout the song. One for each of
the Am, Em and C chords used, with a change of pattern on the Am in the
second and subsequent verses (although the original pattern is still used
for the choruses and outro). Its hard to tell what the fingerpicked
guitar does when the chords change in the outro, as there is another
guitar over the top, playing some similar ideas up an octave (I might get
round to transcribing these one day!)
Here is the chord structure for the song:
Note that the complete picking pattern takes up two bars.
