Quick lesson on the tuning, chords, and arpeggio for Hey You, one of the songs off of the 1980 epic album "The Wall". To sound like the record here you need to have your 6 string acoustic tuned to a Nashville tuning / High string tuning with the 6,5,4 & 3rd strings set as higher octaves than normal. Your 6 string should be replaced with a string that gives you 2 octaves higher than normal (in other words, put another high E string/1st string in poace of your 6th string), and strings 5-3 would be each 1 octave higher than normal. Tip - buy a 12 string set, and use the octave strings from that to string up your 3-5 strings, and the extra 1st string for your 6th string. Confused yet?
Lastly, the other key piece here is your arpeggio picking pattern - down 4, then up 4 - using economy picking. All explained here, have a look.

I knew it was different from the tabs online lol. I was like there’s no way they played it like that.. this makes more sense. Geniuses.
Bles you. I’m 61 over the years couldn’t get that sound. Incredibil tricks. Super job thanks
Mind ---> BLOWN ! Thank you !
great tutorial...thanks man....no wonder I could never get that sound before...this high strung "Nashville" turning is absolutely magical.
Great video once again. The fun part is that last night I had to pick a guitar to string up like this to work on the song. I wake up today and find this gem here. 💎
no way! That's some awesome cosmic synchronicity going on there
Thanks for showing me something very different than I’ve ever seen or heard before.
Yea, and his string arrangement of the guitar is 100% correct.
I’d humbly suggest trying a thin or even an extra thin pick, If you’re relaxed in the wrist and hand, and let the pick do the work by maintaining a perpendicular motion (up down as you demonstrated par excellence)I the spring action at the tip of the pick will produce a very consistent volume/timbre.
Thank you!
Great lesson!
Excellent tutorial.....
you explain really well
Thanks for doing it with the proper size strings 😃🤙🏽
Excellent video thanks
Thank you 🙏 best lesson 👍🏻
Y'all make lernin' fun. Thanks Man
Great tutorial.
Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video. I was quite going crazy to look for a correct tuning and arpeggio picking. You did it in simplest way. I need to follow your channel if this is the level. 😅 keep rocking man
Welcome!
The Wall...released November, 1979. This tuning is also used on "Mother" and "Comfortably Numb"
Thanks, was very helpfull.
Wow, what a difference the string choice and tuning choice can make for the arpeggiated acoustic. I thought it was a generic 12 string.
Excellent video! However, now I need to buy an additional 12 string to keep in Nashville tuning! Thank you
Right ? I guess that's what he was trying to say ???
Or just string a six string up for it
Great stuff- Nashville/ high strung sounds so sweet. One more idiosyncrasy that I think I've discovered (but I can't note of it anywhere on line) is that Gilmour seems to be tuned sharp, like a quarter tone to maybe half a tone. Does anyone else find this?
Thanks. It is so helpful. Reza from Iran. I like electric guitar but it s so expensive
The Wall is from 1979!
Fabulous.....post the tuning please
So D’Addario makes a 6 string Nashville/ High Strung set (0.10-0.27). I replaced my standard 12-string set and used two of these Nashville sets thinking I’d get the Hey You tuning; but watching your video, I guess I should’ve left the higher string of the 6th string pair/ course (from the 12 string set) behind, since it seems like the 6th string course is still an octave apart rather than unison. Is my understanding of this correct, or are you saying that the 6th string courses are in unison, just like the 1st string? Thanks for your great instructional.
Yeah the first and 6th strings are both identical, so in your case both 10s. The rest ofvyour set you would use as normal
Thanks for the instructional- I watched your video and played a cover version/ interpretation that is on my channel at the following link: czcams.com/video/-Li25ZZbEfg/video.html
I bought a three pack of the same D'Addario strings recently, after which I thought I might look up a lesson on this song 😁 my main use for the strings will be for complementary over-dub tracks alongside ones recorded with a standard 6 or 12 string.
So David is basically sweep picking, but slowly. I taught myself how to sweep pick a long time ago, but I only learned fast.
I suspect that as with any time that I try to play like David, it's going to take me forever to... finesse it into sounding anywhere close to as good as he does.
Any changes to truss rod or setup if using this tuning on a 6-string?
I didn't
So ? Can you spell out the tuning for dummies like me , please . I have a 12 string and tune it EeAaDdGgBbEe .
Thanks . I'm thinking what you are saying , if , you play a 12 string you just skip over the "thicker " gauged string . Still standard tuning .
Yes, except the 6th string that would normally be your low pitched E, you replace with another high pitched E. So the 1st and 6th strings are both the same gauge string. So the notes on all strings are normal e a d g b e, but the key is replacing the low E string. And yes, you want to use the rest of the string gauges on strings 5,4,3 as the higher pitched ones from a 12 string. Make sense?
So the Low E is the normal high E? I know he tried to make this understandable. Could someone make a diagram of the twelve strings with + and _ or something a bit simpler to understand.
Yes exactly. The low e string is replaced with a high e string and tuned to high e.
It’s not.
You can DO it, but that’s not Nashville tuning.
@Ira88881 but that is how Hey You is tuned
tone Standard?
The low E with Nashville tuning isn’t the same as the high E.
This is still outstanding for this song.
I have both an acoustic and electric strung Nashville, and now I’m very tempted to change the low E on the acoustic to a high E string just to play this song.
;)
I know what you're talking about but I find what you're saying confusing
Cool no strings. Lol.
From 00:00 to 7:20 it’s just blah blah blah . From 7:20 he actually start to play. 🙄
Is there literally on ly one damn song ever written played in this stupid tuning, i thought they were just a different tone (whole a$$ education i got the last few days on NT) but they render a guitar usless for anything but THIS stupid song? Wtf
