How to Play the Second Part of "Karma Police" on the Guitar

Video Transcript

"JOE WILES: We're taking a look at segment two of "Karma Police" by Radiohead. Let's take a look. The first half of this introduction is going to use the A minor chord, the E minor chord, G chord, as well as the F major chord. Commit those to memory for the first half of the intro of the song, okay? A couple of transition notes between chords. It's going to go A minor and use my thumb to fret the 2nd fret of the low E string while muting the A string. So, it would sound like this. That A string is muted out and I'm going to strum them all. Then, I'm going to come down to that E minor. I'm going to hit that 2nd fret of the E string again and then hit the G chord. Together, those sound like this. The rest of it is an A minor chord, F major, E minor, and do that run again on the 2nd fret of the low E string. The first half of the intro, slowly, sounds like this. We're going to complete the introduction, the second half of the introduction in the next segment. I hope to see you there."
