RADIOHEAD-  No Suprises    (Xylophone/Glockenspiel tab)



transcrition by Joey Gallagher    (joeygallagher@hotmail.com)



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.
