"Nice Dream"
Just so everyone knows, I decided to learn this song after being blown away
by a video of a live performance, where Thom Yorke was solo. I seeked out
the biggest and baddest of tabs, but to my avail, they all sucked (no offense
to the people who did them). I pieced all I could find along with some of
my own time and hard work invested in nailing details so you won't have to.
Note: All chords are strummed in a triplet feel (1- 2 + 3 +),
or some variation, thereof. Be creative.
Also, go easy on the higher strings; you want them to compliment
the bass part, not bury it. This applies throughout the whole song.
And one more thing, listen to the recording to hear the timing of the chord
