I am a 70-year-old man who has been listening to Pink Floyd since Relics came out. During all this time David Gilmour has been my favorite rock guitar player. I remember an interview with David where he said he knew he would never be the fastest, most flash guitar player in rock music, so he knew he had to find another way to make his stamp on rock music. Back in the day, I tried to show all my friends what a lyrical, melodic player he is (rhythm and solo work), but most couldn't hear it. When The Wall came out, I was listening to Another Brick In the Wall on the radio with my best friend. I was remarking on the great rhythm and the fantastic solo (and the juicy new sound David was getting from his guitar and amp). And all my friend could say was, he wasn't impressed. The reason I bring up my age is that for 50 plus years nobody has given David Gilmour the (full!!!) credit he deserves until the last 10 or so years. Sure he was in one of the biggest bands of all time, but the critically favorable reviews of the songs overshadowed the attention given to David--at least that is how I remember it. I give huge credit to the young guitar players (and music lovers) of today for recognizing the creative genius of David's note selection and phrasing and pushing his legacy to the forefront.
Great storie! I agree everything you said. Thank you for shanring 🙏
I'm 54 years old And playing and listening Gilmour every f*cking day.
Wonderful comment, my friend. Thank you!
We must not confuse talent and performance. Sooner or later some robot will be able to play faster than any guitarist. In classical music it's the same, the genius is touched in very simple melodies that give goosebumps. What David Gilmour brought to the music is just fantastic.
Gilmour in my top five for sure.
If
How does one create such a masterpiece seriously...David Gilmore is a master of the art!
Let's not forget Wright's keyboard/organ layering which really makes the atmosphere of the song...the opening chord and the following chord changes are, IMO, the peak of Pink Floyd's music and one of the occasions rock really touched the level of classical music. It's like Bach
@@carlosimotti3933 I really don't see Wright getting enough credit in Pink Floyd's music. People will mention him for Great Gig in the Sky in passing, but that's about as far as it goes.
How about you fuckin spell his last name right
Meeting amazing organ/keys player like Wrights, live on the 70's and for sure, be high on Mary Jane to inspire those bends
Gilmour
The entirety of Shine on you crazy diamond is arguably the greatest music piece ever composed
This is the best way to show a How to learn... Tabs are very important in the moment you can see the guitar and fingers. Thanks!
Precisely why I’m here lol
1979. I was all of 15 years old, and trying to 'fit in' with the older guys and girls at school. It was actually a run-off-the-mill-kinda school, but we did have a cosy cantina, with a great audio system, an extensive music collection, and a 'student union' organizing stuff like movie nights, concert nights (with great Dutch pop or rock bands), 'bridge cards nights' etcetera.
We just had finished one of those nights, can't remember what it was - but I do remember this.
Some time after twelve 'o clock I was brooming a large hallway. I was all by myself. Music from the still busy cantina was played on the speakers in that hallway. And yes, it was this wonderful 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond' track. I heard it for the first time in my life. Can you imagine? A 15 year old boy, alone in a dark hallway of his school, totally happy after a successful night, having all the time in the world to listen to his great guitar piece. I've never broomed a hallway so slowly in my life. I sucked up that guitar, its sounds, its voice, played over that soothing organ - and all of the other soundscape elements. It was pure musical bliss. My ears opened.
That is how I came to love Pink Floyd, and David Gilmour. Oh, and guitar playing.
Now i'm going to plug in my Fender Modern Player strat (that I could not afford back then), and see what I can do with your wonderful directions in this video. Thank you so much! It is about time I learned this piece.
Great story…! Is anything more powerful than music at bringing back memories and emotions? Not for me…
At the same age in similar circumstances i got the same wow factor when i heard an american kid playing Van Halen 1 in the locker room..
You don't have enough subscribers. I really appreciate what you do. This is getting me back on the guitar hype
instablaster.
You're definetly right. I love hid videos and they're super helpful and clear!
@@forrestmessiah9109 you re godamn right
@@gabrielepettinato5277 Thanks G!
This IS the definitive tutorial. Perfect tone, note perfect including the notoriously difficult bends, subbed and saved
Even though this is with electric guitar, your tutorial video was a blessing to have a stab at this with my acoustic guitar.
What makes your tutorial so much better and “preferable” for me over the others was being able to see the tabs below and follow how short or long or “bent” each note sounded. In other words, it was a perfect guide to follow. Otherwise, if you have nothing in front of you but only tabs on a piece of paper, it is difficult, at times, to remember how certain parts of a song sound, if you know what I mean. When you try to play a part, not remembering the sound signature or how the part rolls, you start sounding anything but what you’re trying to play. Great video! Keep up the good work!
Thankyou! Really pleased it's helping you learn!
On screen tabs are the best of the best for guitar lessons, no chitchat bullshit like most CZcams videos
I remember sitting on my bed, for long hours. Constantly pressing the stop and start button on my cassette player to learn how to play this composition…… if only I had had the benefit of CZcams and this video!! Now the years have passed and I have grown older….. yet my heart still lives in every single note of this bands music…. It’s pretty cool to see another person playing this music.. for that, I’m grateful. Beautiful video x
There are so many videos out there to learn any song but nobody puts tabs on or any reference to what they are playing. This is the best place for learning at least for me.
These songs are masterpieces before a single lyric is written
Bravo. People who enjoy shredding are not aware of how hard it is to play this introduction with bending and vibrato precisely and intonationally clean, not to mention the feeling.
I Love how ya'll put all this together, where you can watch all the notes as they are being played. I'm very impressed! Loved it very much!!!!❤😊
Best SOYCD lesson on YT, I've watched them all!! You have an excellent ear !!! Thank you! More Floyd please!!
I’m so glad I found this. You nailed it note for note. Very inspiring!
6:09 The open notes here are some of the most fascinating music making i have ever heard. It’s crazy how well it works.
i always thought david intentionally lets the g string ring out from the bending of the b string
plato: humans can imagine perfect things, but cannot create perfect things. david gilmore: hold my acid.
Epic mate. This my Corona lockdown time for the next 2 months.
I’ve been trying to get at this song for awhile and what I learned here today from the faceless fiddle play was I’ve been going the hard way wrong way round. I was making it as difficult as possible by placing my fretting hand (up my arse mate) in ways that now don’t make sense. So whoever took the time to sit and show it to us I salute you mate.
It was me... the Faceless Fiddler! Glad it helped and I hope you enjoy noodling along in future!
I am 63, listened to Pink Floyd hits on radio in my teens, but only the shorter hits were aired on FM radio. Over the last 3 years I started playing guitar and discovered the «chef d’oeuvre » of the longer tunes from Pink Floyd. I started to play a few of them and althought these are not fast guitar licks, they’re hard to play « on the note and timing » because there lies the secret of Gilmour juicy guitar sound
I watched Gilmour, I looked at the available tabs online... yours is the best that I can see. Bravo.
Amazing, congratulations not only for the playing but for the lesson itself. I'll definitely learn with your lesson.
me 2
Dude don't stop, what you're doing rocks. The tons and the licks and the tabs are awesome. I had no idea how hard that lead part was but it was great jamming along w ya!
Cheers! Glad you liked it!
I got blisters on me fingers!!! Found this video and played along for 4 hours. now it's 3AM and I still don't want to go to bed.
Thanks for the tabs! As someone who isn't necessarily the best at guitar, but more of a bassist, I'm glad that I'm able to follow this video. It makes me feel like guitar isn't as hard as it seems, and is something I can actually play. These kinds of videos are the things people need to be able to get into guitar! So, thanks again, and good playing!
Cheers Devon. So glad it helped you stop playing bass for a bit! 😉
A serous masterpiece Gilmour created here. You captured the magic of the how complex and beautiful it all comes together. Thx for putting this daunting task together. Cheers!
Thank you for sharing this. No longer a mystery how to play this.You nailed it.
Congratulations, very well played Sir ! Easy to follow, this is giving a good hand to nail it too !
I'm glad I'm not the only one that has to deal with the guitar slipping on my leg, annoying.
Brilliant rendition of a very memorable track, thanks Sparky.
Great way to learn, hearing the song and seeing the tabs. Awesome video.
This is fantastic!!!!! Just what I needed as I have just started learning this yesterday and this is exactly what I needed.
Learning this song is now on my summer bucket list.
Wow. Never thought I'd be able to play this. It just flows. Brilliant tab and playing. thank you!
You're very welcome!
Just great & awesome at the same time. More Pink Floyd would be absolutely welcome!! Cheers & regards,Ron
Thank you again. This is the best lesson out there.
I’m learning the tabs, and it’s coming to me now.
I’ve slowed it down a bit, which helps me.
Thanks again.
Great to hear that George! Keep going... it's a cool song to play along to!
I always played the intro in the fourth position on a Strat. It gives that more dull, muted punch when you strike each note. It's been a while, but I used to also be able to get that little water drop sounding punch effect at the beginning of each note with a certain setting on the clean channel of my amp, but don't remember the setting now. I liken it to the sound it makes when you flick your cheek to mimic the sound of a water drop, like we all did back in middle school.
Either way, your videos are absolutely terrific. Thank you so much. My first was your cover of Smashing Pumpkins' Rhinoceros. Perfect! Great job.
Always been my favorite guitarist.
Great lesson video, thanks for making this video! The tabs definitely helped me out 👍
thanx for helping me out through the tough parts
One of my favorite songs to play in this moment
This is fabulous. Thank you so much for putting this out. I've subscribed. I have learnt the intro before but I'm going to redo it and learn the rest. This is my 2024 challenge! Going to look at the rest of the channel now. xxx 😀😀
Can't say THANK YOU enough for this.
You are in exclusive grand master universe here. Again, astounding. I appreciate this playing and vid so much. Thanks. Subscribed after being mezmorized on a binge. Shine!
Best comments I’ve had all year! 😉
brilliant lesson, thanks so much for posting! I'm working my way through and loving it :)
You're very welcome! Should be plenty to keep you busy! Also other Floyd tracks on the channel so give them a go too!
I like the format of your content, I subscribed.
So beautifully executed mate.
Shows you don’t have to play fast to be an amazing guitar player. Amazing! Thanks
First time I've ever been this early and it's this song??? Couldn't be better :)
Great video. I love this song! Thanks Sparky Gilmour!!
Sparky Gilmour!!!! My favourite comment ever!
These songs are kind of their own gerne, love it!
this is excellent and thanks a lot for your good playing.. Now to learn
Beautiful job. What a masterpiece of guitar playing
Thank you kindly!
This is a terrific instructional video! How ever did Gilmour dream up the pretty layer of picking behind the sax solo from around 9:00 through to the end? Brilliant!
lsd and shrooms 😊
@@gitgud1868 Just an image Floyd took on after Sid, and do to their sound. They were a very disciplined band - more "sober" than most have come to believe.
Sei un grande che bel tutorial complimenti e bravissimo ti seguirò sempre. ✌👍😊😊😊
im 46 years old only just started playing guitar , so hope i can play this one soon, i absolutely love pink floyd and for me this is an absolute beast of a song!!dave gilmour at his best!
Wow. No words. Big respect... I admired it.
Set up is fantastic . Thank You from Canada
You are welcome Dave!
Awesome video, you just saved me hours of work, thank you so much!
Spot On, excellent, brilliant and fab I'm going to lean it properly
Wonderful work, greetings from wonderful Sardinia👏👏👏
Gave me shivers.
I love this! Thank you!
Gilmore is a genius❤ you’ve done an excellent cover, 🙏
Absolutely outstanding 👏
Now that is outstanding!
Awesome lesson 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Extras super. Amazing. I will learn this music with you.
Personally, these guitar tab videos are often for 'learning porpuses only', but you gave a solid performance. Well played.
Thanks!
Unbelievable! Such mastery! I'm sure a lot of hard work went into producing this awesome video, and I really appreciate that. Love from a new subscriber in New Zealand :-)
Thanks John - glad you like them... and welcome onboard!
Have you been to the Pink Floyd Experience it's an amazing tribute band here in NZ they are currently tourng
I am so appreciative of this, thanks so much!!!
You are so welcome!
Wow! insane, you could see how hard it was for him to play this masterpiece from start to end when his hands are shaking when he switches the arpeggios. very impressive - especially so with how little mistakes you've made! major props for you!
It's not as difficult as you make it out to be. Shaking hands has nothing to do with difficulty. He wouldn't record this video if he wasn't prepared.
@@NWStuff-yl5jm the bends would kill your fingers for sure . Ijust finished comfortably numb I need a day break because fingers justhurt from the bends man its crraaazy would like to learn this too
@@nickandrews2255 Man, I've played for a decade and I assume the creator of this video has played for even longer than I have. I'm saying that shaking hands has nothing to do with difficulty. This song is my warm up song every time I set up and jam with friends. If you have the experience it really is not hard.
I'm not saying it's easy for beginners, I'm saying on behalf of myself and OP.
@@NWStuff-yl5jm you must be a pro by now!! cant wait to get 10 years under my belt. Im at 1 year 5 months learning song now the skill is there easily its just remembering it all jeeesus christ... plus the bends on teh fingers bruuuutal
@@nickandrews2255 Use 9's gauge strings...
That was freaking awesome good job
Merci beaucoup cest simplement magique

I Pink Floyd sono il meglio.

This is an AMAZING lesson! I'm 5 days in, on bar 50, and my brain is exploding and my fingers are bleeding. I'll update you if I can get through this (which may be around years end) Thank you!!!! ABSOLUTELY Amazing! BEAUTIFUL!!!
Thanks Geoff - great to hear that. Keep going!!!! Let me know if you have any questions - happy to help out anyone so dedicated. There's a lot going on in this song... so learning this will help your playing in lots of ways... see it as a guitar course rather than a lesson. That might help you through the rough days! Rock on!
How is your progress?
@@antaresguitar Wow! Thanks for the follow up! Better than I expected. A truly amazing study. Thank you!
Thank you so very much for this.
I’ve subscribed to your channel. I’m an “intermediate” player I guess you can say, and don’t know all the symbols in the tabs, but I’m getting it.
This is a beautiful song, “haunting.” I would describe it.
Thanks for putting it out there for us. I think it will be months of practice for me, but that’s what makes life interesting, right?
Welcome aboard... and hang in there. You'll get there in the end!
Perfect, thank you so much
nice done mate, it gets me going on my guitar to!!!
Rock on!
Awesome lesson! Thank you so much!
My pleasure!
Thanks for your tutorial and the tab. Hatur nuhun pisan
