RADIOHEAD- Spinning Plates -live- (piano tab) Amnesiac
transcription by Michael O'Donoghue
(irishmike@lycos.com)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've broken the keyboard into three sections to let you know what keys
exactly to use to make the chords. Use the middle C as a reference.
section 1 Section2 section3
CC#DEbEFF#GAbABbB CC#DEbEFF#GAbABbB CC#DEbEFF#GAbABbB
-middle C
Besides each note I will put a number so as to let you know where on the
piano you hit the key.
i.e So A2 would mean hit the A note in section 2.
I'm using the sytem above thanks to Gallagher who used it for pyramid song.
the patterns in the song are just outlining chords.
It always goes left to right. The notes in the first bracket are played by the left hand, the notes
in the second, by the right.
the right hand is played slower in most of the patterns
just listen to the song to figure out the timing. The different versions of the same patterns
such as +A+ and +A2+ are usually because thom changes his right hand notes.
PATTERS - read notes left-to-right
+A+ (A1 - C#2 - E2) (E3 - A3 - E3 - Ab3 - E3)
+A2+ (A1 - C#2 - E2) (E3 - Ab3 - E3 - F#3 - E3)
+A3+ (A1 - C#2 - E2) (E3 - Ab3 - Ab3)
+C#+ (C#2 - E2 - Ab2) (E3 - A3 - E3 - Ab3 - E3)
+C#2+ (C#2 - E2 - Ab2) (E3 - Ab3 - Ab3)
+Ab+ (Ab1 - C2) (C3 - Eb3 - Ab3)
+F#+ (F#1 - Bb1) (Bb2 - C#3 - Ab3)
+E+ (E1 - Ab1) (Ab2 - B2 + Ab3)

hey, this is great piano tab. i love the piano vertion of spinning plates on radiohead's live album, but could never find the sheet music, and my ear is not good enough to transcribes notes; but i fooled around with the intro and i believe the right hand on +A+ is (E3 - A3 - E3 - Ab3 - Ab3) and +A2+ is (E3 - Ab3 - E3 - F#3 - F#3). that sounds more like the live recording to me, try it out. i just started working on making this into full sheet music, this is a great system and i thank you. if i come across anything else that might help i'll post.
i take back what i say, +A+ and +A2+ are correct, and everything is correct, but i find that the intro is incorrect, in the intro thom keeps up the five note switch between chords. so instead of the right hand in the intro for +Ab+ being (C3 - Eb3 - Ab3) it's (C3 - Eb3 - C3 - Ab3 - Ab3), the same applies for all three note switches between chords for the intro.
i'm an idiot, forget everything i posted before. i've been working a lot on this song, but i always felt it was missing something, but i have figured it out! atleast part of it, i still think it's missing something but since they don't make sheet music for this song you just have to make it yours, which is kind of fun, but here's what i think sounds most like the recording: +A+ (A1-C#2-E2) (E3-A3-E3-A3-Ab3), +A2+ (A1-C#2-E2) (E3-Ab3-E3-Ab3-F#3), +A3+ (A1-C#2-E2) (E3-Ab3-E3-Ab3-Ab3), +C#+ (C#2-E2-Ab2) (E3-A3-E3-A3-Ab3), +C#2+ (C#2-E2-Ab2) (E3-Ab3-E3-Ab3-Ab3), +Ab+ (Ab1-C2) (C3-Eb3-C3-Eb3-Ab3), +F#+ (F#1-Bb1) (Bb2-C#3-Bb2-C#3-Ab3), +E+ (E1-Ab1) (Ab2-B2-Ab2-B2-Ab3). note: the arrangment of the song is correctly laid out, the chords just needed a little restructuring. remember to play the full right hands chord and progress note by note on the left hans right after you hit the right hand chord. if you want a fuller sound on the 2 note right hand chords do this: +Ab+ (Ab1-C2-Eb2), +F#+ (F#1-Bb1-C#2), +E+ (E1-Ab1-B1). in fact, i think it would be better to use the fuller chords. that's all i've figured out so far, if i think of anything else i'll post.
me again. been practicing this song and the best way to play the right hand is to use the full chords. and one more thing, on the series of four Ab, on the last Ab make sure to play this left hand (C3-E3-C3-Ab3-A3). that makes a good transition into the repeat, just like the one thom plays. i'm doing pretty good with the song, and i hope people who love the piano version of spinning plates on radiohead's live album, as i do, will appreciate and enjoy this. cheers
