Probably my favourite Pink Floyd song! One of the best ever written as far as I'm concerned.

Certainly one of Pink Floyd's most underrated pieces on one of their most underrated albums. But definitely a masterpiece, and a pleasure to hear it. Nice cover and playing!

Meddle, Dark Side of the Moon, Wish you Were Here, Animals, The Wall, plus many more. I was born in 61', music and comedians kept me sane and able to cope with life from then to the present. I wore these albums out over and over, while great music goes back futher, there was somethine special about 65' ish to 75' ish. The world wasn't perfect, neither were the people but it was so much more laid back. And even the young seemed to be a bit wiser for their years. Not sure what happened (but it was deliberate) but we need to find ourselves again before it's too late.

Hi again sparky my history of guitar was actually when i discovered my dads old Greg Bennett signature series. It had an ok sound but that was ok. I started getting into guitar and wanted to learn shine on you crazy diamond luckily you had a thing on. I had never played guitar and just went right into it learning solos and then chords when I learned wish you were here and Deja vu (by roger waters) but you were actually the first person i watched for a tabs video and here i am I’m pretty decent now but i still accidentally hit wrong strings when i bend

[@tannerted3920]

as someone who doesnt play guitar besides tiny bits of messing about on m8s instruments, its been doing my head in for months trying to tell what the interval in the solo from 3:46 is, because its my favourite moment of music ever written. I know big dave is a bendy guy but ITS ALL BENDS???? best solo on the planet uses 2 frets and b e n d . (at least the first half)

[@andycary5330]

Hi, this is absolutely great, I've been searching for a good Dogs tutorial for a while! Would you mind explaining your technique on getting that percussive sound on those double muted strums in the opening riff (i.e. palm mute, fingertip mute etc.)? I am a bit of a strumming novice

[@SparkyGuitar]

Hi Andy - do you mean on the acoustic part? If so then the best advice would be to say it is ALL in the left hand. No muting with the strumming hand. To practice... try making the chord shapes with your left hand and - and then start strumming. Then there are 2 things to do... first you need to release the pressure of your fingers off the frets... that will deaden some of the strings... but some others will still ring. So,,, the 2nd thing is to use those left hand fingers to "lean over" and mute any other strings that are ringing. Learning how to mute strings is such a key technique - so this is a good one to practice. Don't worry about the rhythm - just focus on strumming a chord and then muting everything by releasing pressure and covering any ringing strings. Once you can do that... then start to learn the rhythm. Hope that helps give you an idea of where to start... then it's just repetition. Keep playing then muting. Cheers!

[@andycary5330]

@@SparkyGuitar yeap that's what i mean. Thanks heaps for the advice, I'll work on it and keep practicing. Keep up the good work!

Nice job replicating the various guitar tones, mate. Is that a rotating Leslie simulator you're using on the solos?

[@jerickomegatonna9518]

@@SparkyGuitar I subbed, hope to see more Pink Floyd coming in any case! I really dig the format you are doing with simultaneous play + tab, by the way. It's more difficult to produce than a regular tutorial, I guess, but it makes it a lot easier to figure out what's going on, an it's exhaustive. I am following your Shine on You vid now, and even though I have closely followed two tutorials previously, I am really picking up a lot of new stuff from it, which was often left simply unexplained. Given, I have been playing only a couple of years and have a very hard time doing anything by ear. So, really helpful, thanks for doing this!

[@norbitcleaverhook5040]

Is there harmonies going on behind the main lead track too? Or is it the effect? Or is it the same guitar just dubbed? Great work by the way. Its my favourite song. I'm gonna have a dig at doing a cover, but I doubt I'll sound as tight. Those tones are killer.

[@orrinfrench2778]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@valentinofrontelli1315]

great cover! may I ask what effects did you use for this cover? I think some phaser and distortion, but I'm not sure if that's all of it

[@SparkyGuitar]

All straight into the computer so sounds are in Guitar Rig 5. Amp is a Hi Watt…with rotary speaker and reverb for the clean part. Hi Watt with a treble boost for the crunch tone… and then the Hi Watt with a Big Muff and Memory Man for the solo… and a little reverb. Hope that helps!

[@jameseiden2340]

@@SparkyGuitar did you ever try Spark amp? I bought guitar rig five is there anyway I could download the Settings right into that program so I would be downloading your settings into my set up so I can make the guitar sound like that during the solos

Hi - could you tell me which bar number please... I can't see anything wrong at 5.29... so I might be looking in the wrong place

[@juliocesarbecerrilvelez1955]

Wow awesome sound! Can I ask which effects do you use to make it sound like this? Amazing job

[@trolologuy02]

He uses a Hiwatt DR103 amp and Yamaha RA-200 rotary for the chorus effect. A standard chorus pedal can get kinda close, not really the same though. In the solos he uses a “Ram’s Head” Big Muff Fuzz and Colorsound Power Boost after it to get that super gainy solo tone. As with any Gilmour-type board, you’ll need an analog delay and reverb of some type.

[@giutarmastersergey]

wow

[@landsproduction6702]

This is a really great video! So well made and so well executed very well done. I have watched this so many times and I'm still wondering how you make that scratchy harmonic sounding tone near the end of the first guitar solo at 6:23 I've heard this sort of tone all over the place and I cant seem to find what it is called or how to replicate it. Could you help me out?

[@SparkyGuitar]

Thanks! They are pinch harmonics... there are some really good videos on KZbin to show how to play them. Look for the one that explains in 2 mins - as it helps show how the the harmonic changes with where you play it. The only thing to add for this particular use of them is that I'm really digging in to the string whilst also bending. It gives it a really aggressive attack. Hope that helps!

Nice job! Another question about tuning, is your electric guitar tuned down too? Maybe it's possible to play that parts with a standard tuning.....? Thanks

[@SparkyGuitar]

Yes, it is - and it needs to be as there are some open notes in the chords and low notes you can't get to in standard tuning. Plus tuning it down makes some of the bends easier (as there is less tension in the strings)

[@dereksedota7159]

At the 6:26 part when your doing the bends on A what are you doing to get that sound? Is it a flanger pedal on top of harmonics or an auto flanger technique? I used to always think it was a trem bar trick but it doesn’t appear you’re touching the bar (or have one on for that matter) Any response would be greatly appreciated as this is my favorite Floyd song and I’d love to be able to play it correctly myself. Thanks!

[@SgtSteel1]

You made this look easy! Nice one! How did you get the tone by the way? I can hear the phaser and reverb but what's the over-driven sound, is it just the amp?
