Airbag by Radiohead – Guitar Tab

Radiohead - Airbag album art

This tab for “Airbag” by Radiohead is a great one for several reasons. Firstly, it’s straightforward and uncluttered, making it easy to follow for guitarists of all levels. It’s also accurate, which is essential when trying to capture the essence of a Radiohead song. The tabbed intro riff is a cool feature and adds a realistic touch to the song. The fact that it’s in standard tuning and doesn’t require a capo is another plus. Lastly, the chords used are just enough to challenge you but not overly complicated.

Practice Tip

Since this tab includes both chords and a tabbed intro riff, I’d suggest breaking down your practice into two parts. Start by practicing the chords separately to really get comfortable with the transitions. Once you feel confident with the chords, move on to the intro riff. It’s a little tricky but practicing it slowly and gradually increasing your speed will go a long way in mastering it.

Genre & Difficulty

This tab falls under the alternative rock genre. It’s not an easy song per se but it’s not overly complicated either. I’d say it’s perfect for an intermediate player looking to challenge themselves or a beginner who’s ready to step up their game. This is a great song to expand your chord knowledge and practice your strumming and picking skills.
