Wish You Were Here Guitar Lesson | Pink Floyd

Best Guitar-teacher on KZbin...

[@JustinGuitarSongs]

:) Thank you!

[@SecularFart]

Thats actually a fact and not even opinion

[@Laurenz1NDownUnder]

I love his Style to Play Guitar and the awesome Neil Young‘s Lesson. Justin is very authentic and his covers are educational :D

[@AC-jt9hl]

@@Laurenz1NDownUnder Yes, have to agree. If there's a choice I always choose Justin's lesson. Very accurate and easy to follow. Two vital ingredients!

I've been playing guitar for less than a month. I recently paid for the Justin Guitar app and recently came across this video and I'm proud to say... this is now, officially, the first song that I've learned to play on my guitar! Thank you so much for your app, your website, this KZbin channel and everything else you do for us beginners! Because of you, I'm now well on my way to considering myself a guitar player! THANK YOU!!!

[@neilburkhouse3881]

Thank you Justin, you are awesome :)

[@kento7035]

This is my mom's favorite song, so im learning all day, I just need some more practice. Thank you so much. :)

[@AWSKAR]

Thats so lovely Did you ply it for her yet?

[@DLAmurph]

I absolutely love how easy you made playing this song, outstanding lesson! Thank you.

[@liammoloney7097]

Elite as always mate!

[@BonesDT]

Justin, I love you and you’re the best teacher, but this was a nightmare to follow. I must have watched the second half over 100 times and I’m still not sure I got it. Can you do scrolling tabs at the bottom like other KZbin videos or at least put some notes on screen. Not to mention that it’s impossible to follow the counting. You stopped putting it on screen.

[@JustinGuitarSongs]

There is a 4 part Song lesson with TAB here: www.justinguitar.com/songs/pink-floyd-wish-you-were-here-1-4-chords-tabs-guitar-lesson-st-301 See if that helps. Cheers 😊 | close2u | JustinGuitar Official Guide [ www.justinguitar.com/ ] & Moderator on JustinGuitar Forum

[@BonesDT]

@@JustinGuitarSongs OK, thank you.

[@rncrrd3282]

I’ll admit I had the exact problem, I ended up making tables by hand: Column headings were: String, finger, fret. Did this for each section of the riff. Made an additional list of the different sections: G to Em, Em to G, A to Em etc. to help me figure out where we actually were in the riff (I was marking the sections off as I was watching the tutorial). In others words it was pretty confusing for me as well from the second half onwards BUT it made me realize I’m pretty good at puzzle solving ahahah by writing all of this down I realized what was going on in the riff as well. I’m one of the course users and this is in module 8 / beginner phase 2 and I’m following the lessons in order so I think understanding this video is quite challenging for this level. Anyway I agree that Justin is an amazing teacher and I’m so happy I’ve found him, his course is the one I’m dedicating most of my guitar practice to :)

[@emmanuelangelakis2569]

Brilliant guitar instructor; and for us tempo-challenged, superimposing the rhythm on-screen (like at 7:39), is a huge help!

[@blazejp0601]

This is why Justin's tutorial are my favourite. There's too many guitar tutorials on KZbin which simply ignore rhythm and beginners usually have trouble understanding rhythm by ear. I've been playing for a year and I still struggle with difficult rhythm patterns and Wish You Were Here is definitely a bit confusing

[@Copinchen01]

I'm learning to play the guitar since 2008 and I've learned so much stuff from you. Want to say "Thank you so much" for your patience, your funny way to teach chords and strummings and your commitment here on KZbin. Stay healthy and happy, Greetz from Germany! :-)

[@JustinGuitarSongs]

Thanks for the positive words and viewing on youtube. Of course, there's a full website too with all of Justin's lessons. Cheers :) | close 2u | JustinGuitar Official Guide [ www.justinguitar.com/ ] & Moderator on JustinGuitar Forum [ justinguitarcommunity.com/index.php ]

[@flouisbailey]

Justin, you blow me away, a beginner friend asked me how I learned to switch chords so well. Justin, two chord changes was my answer, he had never watched you or thought about a concept you taught me. Thanks Dude.

[@Violetacampuz]

Dont give up guys, it took me 3 days but I finally got it. You can do it

[@jinfin221]

Lol only 3 days?? Wtff

[@gjsvid]

Thanks for the lesson. Coming from module 7 this is quite a step up. It would be VERY helpful if you can show a finger placement in the right top of the screen. On my phone, wearing reading glasses it's very hard to distinguish notes and chords just by looking at your hand.

[@gjsvid]

(same goes for any of the riff lessons btw)

[@AlexsProjects]

I too learned this as my first and favorite acoustic song from your tutorials several years ago. I figure you must have to remake them because I wore the old videos out, over and over and over. lol!

[@IvoHantl]

I am 61 and 3 months ago i have started learn play guitar by you Justin Sandercoe and I never have didn't thing that I am play little bit "Wish you were here" so early! Thanks many times. I wish you Happy New Year.

[@rvshjn5]

Yesssssssss... I learnt this in a week. Such a great feeling.

[@jinfin221]

Were you a beginner before?

[@tunod-]

@@jinfin221 Ye. We pretty much all are. I think this is somewhere in the beginner course of Justin. But anyway you can play this in your very first week. Just get the chords down theyre fairly easy.

[@Knight-Cyberia]

Great lesson as always. My favorite part is how Justin explain everything, the different paths and wich you should take based on your level. It's great that he shows the rhythm slowly, but also explains how works and why it works like that, so it's not like "this is like this because i said it is". And you can always come back while in intermediate to learn and practice the more advanced stuff. :)

[@cannafodder6761]

Is there tab to go with this?

[@jayeshmistry93]

Greatest teacher of all time!! ❤ Justin saved me from a very dark period in my life, and I'm extremely grateful i can channel it all into playing music.

[@jimmycricketlopez2746]

Wot??!

[@bluestough]

Thanks, Justin, always a treat to see you teach

[@2508wolfman]

Loved that cap, Justin

[@Ducks2]

Hi Justing. A friendly suggestion is to add a small delay to the start of your video to let us get set up to play along. In this song it's not possible for me to press play and be ready in time to play along. Loving the courses so much though, super super well done!

[@hughprice1533]

Well this certainly has been a challenge but one well worth the effort as there is so much to be learnt from it. I do have some musical grades on flute/sax but two hands doing different things at over 75++ has been in a different league but provided great practice at picking individual notes and ringing the changes in strumming patterns to mention just two benefits. I suffer a low threashold of boredom, that is why I have started the guitar 7 times at least, but using the app and playing songs where the tempo can be adjusted and this exercise have kept me fully engaged I am not saying how long I have been working on Wish You Were Here, it would be too embarassing but it is definitely worth the effort. Thanks Justin! Is there a finger picking course if and when I finish the beginners course?

[@JustinGuitarSongs]

There are fingerstlye courses here www.justinguitar.com/modules/technique-fingerstyle

[@deepeshbhawsar6759]

Hello Sir, my fingers get ripped off and starts paining after a minute. Please help with any suggestions. Thank you 🥺

[@AndreaJosefineYoga]

[@Trampf]

Hey Justin, thanks for the great video. Just wanted to say, that the tabs on your website under thuis video do not match what you are playing and its pretty confusing.

[@ShaneBreen-k8o]

Hiya Justin, amazing tutorials & so well explained in every detail. You have given me a renewed interest in my guitar & music in general. Thanks again from Shane 🎶

[@edwardromayor7039]

Justin, I’ve decided to learn how to play the guitar. And of all of the online guitar teachers. Your teaching methods are the easiest to understand, follow & learn. Thank you, from Edward (Upstate New York)

[@garyhoffman6213]

I'm loving this lesson, so I subscribed for the Tabs, but the tab doesn't seem to be the same arrangement . It could just be that I'm not very good at reading tabs, but even the 1st bar notes and strums (the D-U-UD) seem different than the video. So are the Tabs not necessarily the same as the lesson?

[@JSAnstock]

I'm so pleased that Justin raised the point about listening. I read and write music as a clarinetist but I'm little more than a "happy strummer" on guitar. Love Justin's instruction, I never intend to inflict my guitar playing on anyone except my dog (but she likes Nickleback so what does she know😜), however I always come away from one of Justin's videos with a smile on my face and an absence of sheet music. Thanks dude.

[@dallassukerkin6878]

I've been playing since I was eighteen, which was {mumble, mumble} years ago {:)} and I have to commend you on how well you split this down into simple steps for people to start to glue together with practice. I could have done with this forty years ago ... damn it, gave it away :D. Consider yourself well and truly subscribed to! :chuckles:

I'm 60 and all my live wished to play guitar but never started. Started 1 year ago. And Justin site, videos, app is where I learned more, where more details, shortcuts, info that is not anywhere else is available. Love Justin way to teach, amazing his approach on left handed just to feel newcomers dificulties. But what I love more is when he says "if you know the music, just feel it, try to move forward and enjoy". That's what I've being doing, thanks Justin ;)

Hey Justin, I've finally got this! It's been 20 days since I started learning this. I finally get how to do it but still working up my pinky callous, coz sometimes the thin E string buzzes because it's not quite there yet! But this is so cool! Thank you

[@budfox1861]

Thank you - beautiful song. And was able to play with practice and your lesson here !!! - Only feedback would be to help us with strumming pattern. I think experts like you dont spend enough time on this and seems really hard for beginners like me (or just me - lol) thank you

I only listened to part of this, because i could tell he was picking notes instead offer hammer-ons. Too "beginner" for me.

[@sterlingmcvay2469]

As a LEFTY I Greatly Respect your trying to play LEFT-HANDED. I got my father's Right-hand TELESTAR Guitar when I was in the 7th Grade and tried for a year to play it that way, but it was a real struggle. Inspired by my I foot Black & White JIMI HENDRIX POSTER, I flipped the Strings around. The Action was like nearly a 1/4 inch off the Neck, little by little I started learning about thosethings: Action-Height; HARMONICS and A SET-UP. I always appreciate yo😢 Lessons

[@hollisduncan3293]

Noob here. Isn't Justin saying 4th string but actually playing the 3rd? This is like eating cheesecake with a toothpick but I'm loving the twang from my daughter's Martin Junior Dread. edit: I think he's counting from the bottom and me from the top!

[@stevemiller7460]

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from hell? Blue skies from pain? Can you tell a green field From a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell? Did they get you to trade Your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze? Cold comfort for change? Did you exchange A walk-on part in the war For a leading role in a cage? How I wish, how I wish you were here We're just two lost souls Swimming in a fish bowl Year after year Running over the same old ground What have we found? The same old fears Wish you were here

[@honts911]

On last Em7, when you pluck the D and A strings twice each, are you supposed to still be holding the 2nd fret on each respective string or play them open? Would appreciate an answer.

[@ronaldsheaks6852]

So you’re telling me I don’t have to use that hammer on? That hammer on stopped me from learning this song for years. I got it now, THANK YOU🧙🏼‍♂️🌅

[@g_mack]

Hi Justin I know you probably wont read this but just wanted to let you know I am trying to re learn guitar after 22 years not playing, I am really enjoying your course. Its making my sobriety alot easier with something to do at night.. Many thanks. G

[@richardrobinson9648]

Hi Justin. I know you probably won't read this but l agree 100% with your mention of listening. I was trained and became head chorister in Durham Cathedral so had to learn theory etc. I learnt, self taught, the bass then the acoustic guitars. At 71yrs old, l run a little weekly guitar club in the local pub (2 mins away from home) and learn 1 or 2 new covers each week, all done by ear, ie listening. I find too many guitarists are desperate to learn theory but if you can tap your foot and count to 4, learn the chords basically, then marry the two together!! Merry Christmas.

[@mugwanja]

Hahaa, kinda laughed when you said you hope I've enjoyed this lesson.. It was absolute torture, will keep at it hope i master it eventually. Very good teaching method though, since i've gotten the theoretical bit in my head.. the practice part will take some time but will keep at it. Thanks mate! ❤from Kenya

[@tunod-]

The song: Easy. The counting: Who comes up with this stuff? Ok so anyone else who can feel the rhythm and it follows the counting but somehow cant count it for shit? :P

[@larrypower8659]

You’re a brave man, Justin, showing yourself struggling! I tried playing lefty once for a student and … totally sucked. It was humbling.

[@honts911]

During strumming on d,u,u,d, are you supposed to hit all strings, or only top strings or what? Mine sounds too rough even when strumming lightly.

[@JustinGuitarSongs]

The strumming through the riff is mainly on the top four string, even the top three for upstrums is fine.The lower notes should be ringing out from having played them during the single note phase of picking the thicker strings. Cheers 😊 | Richard_close2u | JustinGuitar Official Guide & Approved Teacher www.justinguitar.com

[@akajojo9515]

Sir..plz a make a tutorial on angel by judas priest ❤️ Love from Bangladesh ❤️❤️

[@bryandoyle7055]

The B note on A string is a hammer-on right after picking the open A string in the intro instead of being picked. It's how it's done in the original and it sounds so much smoother and better even though it's a small change.

Hi Justin, why is it that we have to count the intro down from 2? I find it quite difficult to count and utter the numbers at the same time (despite having played guitar for a number of years already). Would it be any different if we started counting from 1?

If you are playing entirely by yourself it will make no actual difference. If you play with others or the record counting / timing is vital. Cheers 😊 | close2u | JustinGuitar Official Guide & Moderator on JustinGuitar Forum [ www.justinguitar.com/ ]
