I simply love this album. Radiohead have made some of the best albums of all time and its almost like they can’t make a bad record. A Moon Shaped Pool is beautiful.
This video is part of a project I’m working on. I’m learning to play my favorite albums on a ukulele. If you enjoyed it why not check out some other classic albums that I arranged. Like OK Computer and Kid A.

Desert Island Disc
The first part of this song is a finer picking section. The easiest way to play it is to put your finger across the 7th fret and use your pinky to hit the 10th, 9th and 8th.

The Numbers
This riff sounds bright and full with the open strings. It especially works with a low G string. If you have one, give it a go.

A lovely piano motif that sounds great on the ukulele. Listen to the song to get the timing right.
