Creep

How to play Creep by Radiohead on guitar

This is a great song to learn because the progression is simple, memorable, and instantly recognizable. It has a quiet, moody feel that works well at a slow pace, so you can focus on clean changes and steady timing.

You can lean on the open shapes G, C, F, and Em, while B, Cm, and G# will ask for more hand strength and cleaner fretting. The main change to watch is the opening move from G to B, since that shift can feel abrupt if your fingers are not ready.

Start by looping G - B - C - F very slowly until each change feels smooth. Then add the rest of the song one section at a time, keeping your strumming even and relaxed. Once the shapes are comfortable, bring the tempo up little by little until it sits naturally.

Use the play-along above to follow each chord change in time with the music, or learn the shapes first with the chord diagrams below.
