"Anyone Can Play Guitar" was a single taken from Radiohead's first album Pablo Honey, released just in advance of the album. It was the band's second single, and their first to receive a wide hearing ("Creep" had been issued in limited quantities some months earlier, had failed to chart, but would soon become a hit and ultimately be rereleased later in 1993). "Anyone Can Play Guitar" made relatively little impression on the charts, but it remained a staple of the band's live sets throughout the early-mid nineties.

Thom Yorke got the idea for the famous line "I wanna be Jim Morrison" after seeing The Doors movie and is meant to convey Yorke's dissatisfaction with the mythical status Morrison is given. This was made clear in the band's appearance at the MTV Beach House, where they played "Anyone Can Play Guitar", and Thom Yorke sang "Maybe if I grow my hair I can become Jim Morrison," before shouting "Fat! Ugly! Dead!". However, the band also described this track as genuinely hopeful and optimistic.[citation needed] Thomas Edward Yorke (born October 7, 1968 in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire, England) is best known as the lead singer of the English alternative rock band Radiohead. ...

The Open-D Guitar Spot (4533 words)
The one that can be played as quiet as a mouse or as loud as a jumbo jet.
Tuning the guitar to itself in open-D is actually simpler, in that you hear the major chord as you tune your guitar – the duplication of strings (three Ds, two As) is a benefit in the tuning process.
I show them that a major chord can be played with as few as three strings, by holding down a single finger; and that the same finger can be moved up or down the fret board of the guitar to create new chords.
Radiohead - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (5441 words)
Jonny was the youngest member, and played only harmonica until he could persuade the others to allow him on guitar, but he soon developed into the band's lead player.
The recording sessions were relaxed, with the band playing at all hours of the day, recording songs in different rooms, and blasting DJ Shadow, Ennio Morricone and the Beatles' "I Am the Walrus" through the house for inspiration.
The result was a more minimalist and textured style featuring less overt guitar and more diverse instrumentation (such as the ondes martenot, electronic beats, strings, and jazz horns), but one which retained some of the lyrical and musical hooks of their earlier records.
