Xylophone tab

No Surprises

 * RADIOHEAD - No Surprises
 * OK Computer LP
 * Xylophone tab by Joey Gallagher


Here's the tab for Jonny's Xylophone on No Suprises. I don't actually own a 
Xylophone but my keyboard has a Xylophone effect. I had to shut one channel 
of my stereo off so I was just able to here Jonny's bit and not the other 
stuff going on. It's pretty straight forward and easy to play. He play's 
between two scales one being the medium/high range and the other the 
high/high range. All the notes written down normally play in the medium/high 
range but all the notes written in brackets play in the high/high range. So 
a (F# G B) will be played higher down the keyboard or xylophone from the 
starting scale.

Intro-   (Ed's starting riff goes two times before Jonny kicks in)
