First up, I researched a bunch of live videos and online stuff for the chords used in this lesson, but I have to specifically thank WarrenMusic's great lesson for helping me catch a few things that were giving me trouble https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVmgko2ZYrk
I've tried to present Nice Dream close to the way it was played on the original studio recording. The acoustic guitars are buried and sound very washy in the mix, but this sounds mostly right to my ear. Thom Yorke plays it slightly different each time in live videos so it's hard to pin down. You will need to change your tuning slightly, but it's a very quick and easy adjustment. The song uses E-A-D-G-A-E tuning, so you need to drop your B string down a whole step to A. You can do this by ear, just match the pitch to the 2nd fret of the G string.
The song is in 6/8 time and flows very smoothly with accents on the 1 and 4. The strum pattern is a simple D-DUDU with a very light touch. There are a lot of open strings used to create a spacious sound with a lot of ring to it. Although there are no barre chords used, you need to make some unusual shapes higher up the neck, and a couple of shapes require you to mute certain strings with your fretting hand fingers.
The chords have a lot of weird names, and given that we are in an altered tuning they begin to feel a bit irrelevant. For that reason, I didn't include a chord list at the start of the video. Most of them are variations on A, D and E with some weird B minor and F# minors.
