cover
Cover: Faber Music, Faber MusicFaber Music has published two Radiohead guitar songbooks, one for acoustic guitar and one for electric, and the band have announced that their online shop is selling both. Faber put them out in June for the 20th anniversary of OK Computer, with new covers drawn by Stanley Donwood.
The two books share only one song, “Knives Out”. The electric book runs from “Creep” and “Anyone Can Play Guitar” to “Reckoner” and “These Are My Twisted Words”. The acoustic book reaches as far as last year's record, with “Desert Island Disk”, “Present Tense” and “The Numbers” from A Moon Shaped Pool beside “The Tourist”, “Exit Music (For A Film)” and “Faust Arp”. That album already has a songbook of its own.
Both books set their songs in standard notation and tab, and Faber calls them artist approved. For some of the songs it is the first transcription in print.
