Breathe / Time - Pink Floyd (acoustic cover)

TUTORIAL: / coreyheuvel
STARBIRD -- my latest album of original music:
• Starbird (2022) (Listen here!)
WEBSITE: coreyheuvel.com
A medley from the iconic Pink Floyd album Dark Side of the Moon which was released in 1973.
This is always very difficult to do in one take as the solo requires full attention to maintain the harmony and execute any decent phrases, on top of singing two songs in one! Awesome challenge though, I love to try again and improve. As usual, I'm not completely satisfied but this will have to do for now! Hope you enjoy :)

Hi Corey, do you include tabs on the lessons on your Patreon? Thank you. Oh, also your talent just blows me away!

[@coreyheuvel]

@@frogblues thanks so much! Some have tabs included, like Little Wing, but most including this one do not. I’m trying to motivate myself to make more of them, but I find that challenging. I’m working on it 👍

[@frogblues]

@@coreyheuvel Thanks for the response. Also I'd definitely pay extra for tabs for your compositions, especially for Guitar pro versions. Cheers!

[@RayMitchell-z8f]

Great work n God Bless

[@shineajthegame]

fun fact, most of these covers are taken straight from his livestream, no cuts, no retakes, just pure flow. He makes minute mistakes here and there but covers them so brilliant. Absolutely world class mate.

[@jochem420]

didnt know that, i just assumed he took hundreds of takes for the right one. this makes it even more impressive

[@VunterSlaushbby]

Not even an ear piece like most to hear if it’s decent when singing… all organic singing the way it should be

[@badikkkkk]

pure talent and hard worker

[@FreeSpeechWarrior]

Cool, he's good. I like his voice and guitar skills.

[@eddiemoney1093]

Don't worry. He sat alone in a room and played them 500 times messing up in various ways until he got to this point, no doubt. I mean that's how I do anyway. He might be a prodigy for all I know. He certainly sounds good enough.

[@TWGarg]

I don’t know why, but this brought tears to my eyes. I guess this is what happens when a cover artist does a song justice. Beautiful.

[@user-js9pd7cv6g]

Same

[@timhalley6987]

So good to see the younger generation embracing the solo acoustic approach. People don't realize most electric stuff was written that way. This is just outstanding. And I really like the small-bodied Stonebridge.

[@gened9787]

Every song this dude does is top quality. Love watching his videos

[@bourgsen8601]

My mind is blown. You are setting the bar higher with performances like this.

[@cletesizemore2780]

Excellent.

[@costaliberta5969]

nah, bot really. he's still getting an applaud.

[@joshbrown487]

God damn, I’ve listened to this countless times now and I still can’t get over how great that solo is, never heard an acoustic guitar solo like it. Props ;)

[@natchezbone]

Solo is 🔥 🔥 🔥 like to see him and Billy Strings collab on something!

[@mrswan7745]

Dude i gotta say you have probably the most artfully pictographic acoustic covers of electric songs Ive ever seen. Flawless work man its gorgeous stuff

[@AndyRhodes1]

Very true

[@thebeastlybest]

All hail algorithm. This guy deserves the hits!!! What a legend!

[@tylerkraft41]

Soon buddy, you’re gonna have so many more followers... the algorithms got u in its sights. More and more every week, just please don’t stop uploading my god dude ur incredible

[@dominikocon2394]

yup, i just start listening, hes playng affect me with some new ideas, great playng, keep it rolling dude!

[@estebancandiaburgos]

same here, inspiration/motivation comes instantly after listen him play

[@mattz8234]

He's too talented to have many followers. Besides he's got no cleavage, long hair or seducing smiles.

[@MrBenG3]

@@mattz8234 not to mention he doesn't mumble, or rap, or speak of sex money drugs etc.

[@jrenaud22]

You may be right. I just found him because YT suggested his Little Wing cover to me. Upon checking how active his channel was, I subscribed immediately. I can't believe I haven't been watching him for years.

[@CasperLabuschagne]

Not many Pink Floyd covers around since here lies the hallowed ground that only the most talented may enter - Corey Heuvel owns this territory.

[@Mxrider92i]

Massage for my ears and my soul right there.

[@מנגו-ר1ח]

Wow, your guitar playing is so clean and accurate.

[@stanlemke3569]

I am playing the rhythm while you're in your solo, you made my day!

[@TheCybrKnyf]

Wow, bro - you are the GOAT of acoustic sounds. Close enough to original so that nobody mistakes it, yet so perfectly crisp that most will consider it better than the original - and believe me, Pink Floyd is a tough act to follow - but you just murdered that track. I could listen to you all day...

[@kyleralexis8974]

Absolutely f***ing amazing

[@carlrichards9333]

I can honestly say I've never come across a better singer/acoustic guitar player than this dude.... You really have raised the bar, absolutely sensational 🙏

[@matthewguilfoyle1660]

This guy has the best taste out of any cover channel I’ve seen

[@rhythmiccolor9648]

Over the years your voice has slowly but surely caught up to your amazing guitar playing, it's been incredible to watch.

[@ronsta11]

This is what music should do to people. Inspire them to make something exceptional like this. My friend, you are truly gifted. God bless you and thank you for the beautiful music you create for all of us. I truly enjoyed it.

[@RVERBINSKY]

Wow! How in the earth are there so many talented people like him? I loved this cover.

[@mateopuna98]

I didn’t think an acoustic cover of this song could so tremendously good. Kudos to you! You are an amazing and incredibly talented musician, and you inspire me to be a better musician myself

[@BaconTomatoCheese]

Beautifully done… Love to see young people appreciating classic music like this and doing justice to it!👍🎸☮️

[@chriscarr6392]

Amazing cover. The guitar playing is pure art. Thanks so much!

[@jeffb8562]

I’ve never heard classical guitar thrown into a Floyd solo. You did very well. Bravo.

[@robpearson9526]

Corey, as a fellow guitar player/singer, I can appreciate the time that you've put into this. It's evident that this is truly your passion, as it is mine. I really enjoyed this! Well done brother, well done indeed!

[@amrshlomr]

very thankful for you my dude. I actually listen to all your covers while i work and in my off time i am a patron and try to learn from you. Highly recommend this guys! Thanks Corey!

[@ВоваКовач-ь7з]

От души за такое пение Бро , Благослови Тебя Господь.

[@mirrorshaze417]

Thank you for showing everybody that this music still has a space in this day and age. Timeless.

[@vitordeandradeszmaragd1262]

One of the bests covers i have ever seen. Simply amazing

[@hedonisticsociety361]

Watching it everyday since weeks and still cant get enough off of it. Awesome work, thank you!!!

[@lionelmax2953]

Wow. This is might be the best Pink Floyd cover I’ve seen in this style, amazing talent man. Keep up the good work!

[@giuliaferrario6348]

This is simply incredible, i have no words to describe how impressive this is. I love your videos, keep going!

[@johnh5738]

Just...beautiful, bud. Well balanced skill and expression and soulfulness... I can only imagine those long, long hours of practice.

[@edwardcancienne5359]

Actually after listening to your version of this song frequently over the last few years. Your version of this song is now my favorite. Well done

[@johnsyversen3460]

I don't leave comments but wow that was fantastic!! A great version of one of my favorite songs, big thumbs up!

[@rickcasares5621]

Incredible talent cant stop watching.

[@aneily]

The solo is truly exceptional, wow 😳🔥 The whole performance really does justice to the original. But that solo, I havent seen many people be able to do that, that was really deep broSki 🙏🏽

[@carlrickards6708]

You just broke You Tube ! !!! This is pure talent! Great job !!! Thank you for posting!

[@sorenarad8]

One of the best cover I've ever seen from this songs. Thanks a lot man 👌🏻♥️🌱

[@iconliving9076]

Oh, the amazing things a guitar can do when it's in the hands of a true master.

[@lilo-tg4yr]

bro this is just amazing, you make that guitar sound incredibly clean

[@publicdefense9589]

I am wildly impressed at how you are able to play these songs, with great passion, sing them well, arrange them in a way that really shows off flat-picking... wow. I wish you all the best. Thank you for this.

[@miguela.a.p.135]

this songs are to high for my voice, any way you nailed it. One of the best covers i´ve seen here; nice to hear and watch.

[@lydiacooper8876]

I always come back to this..every day, no matter what is going on

[@ashutoshbains5967]

You're the best, Corey! The playing, the singing, the vibe, you got it all man. I'm glad I found your channel. Hope you're doing well. Keep rocking :)

[@marcoguitarjournal]

This is unbelievable. Pure flow.

[@slopoke22]

My man 💪 Pink just has such good songs and chord playing, distinctive sounds

[@greghood1594]

Corey, I have watched almost all of the Breathe tutorials and you by far are the most amazing talented guitarist I’ve seen your voice is pretty good too. Keep on rocking!

[@0713mas]

Outstanding! I usually do Neil Young down by the river into breathe but this is just fantastic

[@robertmoskal5345]

This guy is phenomenal. Everything : hybrid picking, the groove, solo parts, singing are outstanding.

[@mikeoxlong5568]

The Acoustician got a new serious competitor goddamn you're good

[@johnnypee]

The band is just fantastic. That is really what I think. Every nuance of the song has been captured. The Time solo is awesome. Bravo! 👏👏👏

[@leerontaimusic]

You nailed this spot on! A very nice song cover. It's such a wonderful treat to listen to this. I love everything about this song cover - your wonderful voice, your skillful guitar playing and the entire arrangement of this. You definitely deserve more attention to your work than you are getting right now. Keep on going, Corey.

[@jochem420]

just when i think ive properly learned a song you show me how much more there is to add

[@mike-ov6dl]

this motivates me to improve on the guitar, this is insanely good dude. keep this up and you wil be huge one day!!

[@Emirhan-md4ze]

bro i LITERALLY cried while watching and listening you. you did amazing job here. lots of love!

[@steveg9744]

Well sung and well played young man.✅👍🙏

[@savagebrownies5835]

Well, adding this to the list of songs to learn in musical library! I've always wanted to know how it sounded together and here it is! Absolutely phenomenal

[@savagebrownies5835]

after 2 years I can comfortably say that ive learned this song (solo is still in progress for me). its really fun to sing and play this piece, absolutely phenomenal

[@rodrigosampaio1360]

esse cara é muito bom viu

[@Lucasramirofoto]

best covers of all time! almost 6 years playing those vids

[@jason_samosa]

Loved this! The solo was beautifully textured and tied together.

[@peterjohnston8486]

Absolutely fantastic.

[@SamFred93]

This is really amazing .. the solos are as enjoyable as the electric ones!

[@jimm3328]

That was my favorite interpretation of what happen to be my favorite songs. I’m working on them now on acoustic and was just blown away. I don’t know how you do it man. Freaking awesome- seriously.

[@ravinwolf4970]

Wow. Happy I ran into Corey. Dude knows how to work hard and it’s really really good at it.🎶🤙

[@Lydiie12]

I'm french, i'm singing too But you're touch on you're guitar! Amazing!!!!! What talent! 🎉

[@danymajr]

Dood... KZbin's definitely hating on talents like this... literally the best cover of this song period! P.Floyd would be so so fucking proud!!!

[@IckoDio]

As if the whole band plays silent in the background. You are with them in your mind, are you?

[@momentumcharting6700]

Bro you are REALLY something else. I could listen to you playing Pink Floyd all day.

[@shannon3888]

That interpretation of the solo was fucking dope. That’s why I clicked “How the fuck will he pull that off” Bravo.

[@amrshlomr]

For anyone hesitant to subscribe to Corey's patreon, I can vouch that he took my guitar playing to an entirely new level and I haven't even scratched the surface of his videos. 10/10 one of the absolute best guitarists on here

[@amrshlomr]

I watch his videos so much i forget which ones i already commented on lmao

[@coreyheuvel]

Thanks so much Omar! Appreciate you man 🤘 🙏

[@mikmop]

If Dark Side of the Moon was a solo acoustic act, this would be it.

[@cristinaangioni7582]

Since I discovered this video I watch it every day!!! Unbelievably good. It also inspires me to pick up my guitar. Thank you!!!! What a legend ❤

[@dandre8019]

what a beautiful cover and outstanding solo :O edit: learning your version on guitar right now :D 2nd edit: the solo is a bit too difficult for me but nothing is impossible

[@ofekshapira4393]

Did you manage to learn it?

[@pavmar5197]

I'm aware this comment is a year old , but as a little tip for the solo part, you can play anything you want within the pentatonic scale in the right key. Improvise a bit, dosent have to be identical, that's the beauty of art.

[@marcepuq1958]

Puedo contarlos con una mano los guitarristas que me dejado con escalofríos, vos sos uno de ellos. Genio

[@icet683]

I think upgrading your video quality, thumbnail etc will raise the number of views by a lot. You have so much talent bro it sucks that only few notice

[@pinksasquatch]

huh? The quality looks good to me.

[@icet683]

@@pinksasquatch it's not bad, and I am not really thinking about the sound quality. More the background, ambiance, camera angle etc. It is minor changes but will do a big difference imo

[@wtrash78]

You are incredible man! Been playing for 40+ years and I've never heard anything quite like it!

[@carolewalls995]

Just..lovely..i took guitar for awhile from a really talented guy yrs ago..while working and going to school. I turned out to be a dabbler, nothing more, but the experience gave me a greater appreciation of all types of music, and the effort that goes into it ❤.

[@carolewalls995]

Beautiful rendition btw

[@FrankNitty-007]

Top notch, beautiful acoustic playing, solo was unbelievable, thank you

Breathe, breathe in the air Don't be afraid to care Leave, but don't leave me Look around, choose your own ground Long you live and high you fly Smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry And all you touch and all you see Is all your life will ever be Run, rabbit, run Dig that hole, forget the sun When, at last, the work is done Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one Long you live and high you fly But only if you ride the tide Balanced on the biggest wave You race towards an early grave Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way Kicking around on a piece of ground in your hometown Waiting for someone or something to show you the way Tired of lying in the sunshine, staying home to watch the rain You are young and life is long, and there is time to kill today And then one day you find ten years have got behind you No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun And you run, and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking Racing around to come up behind you again The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older Shorter of breath and one day closer to death Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way The time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say Home, home again I like to be here when I can And when I come home cold and tired It's good to warm my bones beside the fire Far away across the field The tolling of the iron bell Calls the faithful to their knees To hear the softly spoken magic spells

[@jstar1000]

I never was a huge PF fan but now I am dang it. Damn that is an epic song, so simple really but so freaking awesome. Killer arrangement.

[@23Jetstream]

Man, this is soo good! It's so amazing how you keep the groove during the solo while still retaining its powerful vibe. Probably the best cover of these songs out there, at the very least the most unique. Cheers!

[@JayFlamby]

Geez man, that solo was something, congrats and thank you

[@capoman1]

I'm so impressed with Corey's knowledge and use of theory and chords and scales... This something that simple tabs will never teach you.

[@TimMecheski]

Wow, just wow! I stumbled across this video totally by accident and I am blown away by the talent here. Phenomenal job on this cover. That is absolutely amazing!

[@ianmcphee5650]

I’ve been learning for over 3years now and have put as much effort in to practice as work and family life allows so I fully appreciate how great your playing is. I didn’t start until my 45th birthday so 48 now and just hope that Ime not too late to one day be able to play a fraction as great as you. You have a beautiful sense of touch, space and timing . And to sing at the same time isht easy when it’s as technical as some of those parts look

[@ksharma103]

Commenting again for the algorithm....more people need to see this beautiful piece!!! 😍

[@stuarttrewern]

Concentrated essence of PF - Thank you and well done!

[@TonyMouawad]

Utterly intoxicating. I'm totally inspired to learn your version of this masterpiece. I'll skip learning the virtuoso guitar solos, that's on a completely elevated plane of existence. You're a genius! Cheers. 🙏✌️❤️

[@Crazy_Dave]

Fantastic song of course but Corey's vocals transform it into a story that just had me captivated, his vocal performance is so clear that I could hear every word and so emotional. Excellent 👌.

[@thomascantwell4760]

There aren't enough words to describe how beautifully and exquisitely you play. I agree with that other guy, my mind is blown. Hands down the most skillful acoustic players I've ever watched

[@paulembleton1733]

Excellent performance and arrangement. I grew up in the days of Pink Floyd. This sounds as fresh as the original did then, like a new perspective on an old friend.
