If you play guitar and dig Radiohead, get this book. It's got the music and arrangements for all the songs on OK computer in a fairly legible tab format. It's a bit different from other tab books I have, but it's fairly easy to get the hang of. The album's guitar work is so dense, I really benefitted from seeing all the notes laid out in front of me, especially for paranoid android. While I still can't follow the picking pattern exactly, I can fake it pretty well!

A lot of guitar tablature on the internet is often wrong, if not incomplete. This book provides sheet music for all of OK Computer, in both tab form and regular musical notation. For guitarists and fans of radiohead, its worth the buy.

I ordered both this book and the In Rainbows tab book at the same time. If you're trying to choose between the two, go with In Rainbows. Not only is the tabliture larger and easier to read, it also comes with music for all instruments used, where Ok Computer does not.

And that guy is right, the font for tabs is pretty damn small. That doesn't really make it not worth buying, though.

This book does seem fairly accurate, but a warning for other tab readers (versus music readers): This book has the tiniest font ever! I have perfect vision and sometimes I misread it. Also, this book might require some ability to read music (rhythm notation). I know music theory but reading tabs is so much easier!

Basically, this publisher has their style which I find much less readable and logical than say, Hal Leonard "Recorded Versions Guitar" or Play It Like It Is Guitar "Note-for-note transcriptions" publications that are much more common.

This publishing style has no advantage over the earlier two mentioned and the earlier two lack nothing this OK Computer book has. Meaning: if you want to have the clearest possible transcriptions for guitar for this or any album, go find a Hal Leonard "Recorded Versions Guitar" or Play It Like It Is Guitar "Note-for-note transcriptions" publication. The problem is, older books are often hard to find!

Good luck and happy playing!

Tab books...specifically the radiohead ones, started me teaching myself the guitar, and its been lots of fun!! its just soo great to feel the satisfaction of playing your favourite songs.

The book is pretty easy to follow. Paranoid android is not. However i'm not great at the guitar
