Radiohead * Creep

Part 1 (Intro) demonstrates the use of major arpeggio's.
An arpeggio is referred to as a chord that is played in
single notes, rather than strummed. Major arpeggio's are
derived from the 1st, 3rd and 5th intervals of the major
scale as shown below.This example shows G major.


    G major scale     intervals
    G A B C D E F# G  G B    D

G :-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
D :-----------2--4-5|-----------------|-----------------|

E :-3-5-------------|-3---------------|-----------------|

                        Arpeggios

Other arpeggio examples include (#1)the common 6 string
version and (#2) which illustrates a "picking pattern"
that should help give you an idea of how groups and artist
like Radiohead use for composition when writing and 
creating songs.
