[@HarryNicNicholas]

excellent, not often players get things spot on

[@nordanocesar5860]

Awesome work, Man! It's just incredible! You've saved my life 'cause I've always wanted to play It, but I didn't know how. I'm Just an apprentice and Hope some day I could play like you. Thank you Very much for this lesson!

[@oneamongzeros3649]

Cool tutorial. I would say that the difficulty in understanding what is actually going on with the guitar parts in this tune has less to do with the song being "old" and more to do with the idea that he had at least 3 or 4 acoustic guitar tracks playing simultaneously. Mostly in open G tuning...though some people say the high E string is really brought down to mimic the neighboring string at "b". The 1970's were a golden age for studio recording. That doesn't mean that things sounded worse. It was actually the best that could be done in an analog sense. The next decade brought music into the digital realm and there are different opinions on whether or not that this has "improved" sound quality. Not trying to preach... just showing why this song is challenging to decipher. Nice work!

[@bronyraur3]

Thank you! 70's might be the best decade for Rock&Roll so far.

[@noahnadi7678]

I LOVE THIS!! Thank you for teaching me how to play my favorite song! im doing my best to follow with my own style haha

[@betadoctor]

[@edwardjosephbrennan]

Dude... awesome video...how about some instruction on how to nail those bar chords...you do them so well.

[@TopJimmyWinn]

Good lesson, thanks dude!

[@catsven1973]

Great sounding guitar by the way .. the flavour is very close to the record..

[@damiankildare9230]

"Kind of hard to tell because it's so old, you know from the 70's". Ouch kid, that one stung a little 😂

[@dan.nashmusic]

Nice work! Great tune.

[@bronyraur3]

Thanks!

[@logisticsiraq]

[@Pedro-sm1db]

[@cmartin1959-qq2mi]

Thank You for making the video !

[@Kahweekah2o2f]

Starts at four twenty

[@noahlang]

Your tone is incredible. How'd you get that?

[@averagejoegrows]

nigga its an accoustic😂😂😂

[@drscottadams]

Better if you tune the low E string up to G.

[@cdpmedia2011]

I hate you man! just kidding awesome. But i just watched this video and realized there is no way I can ever learn to play guitar. I am afraid the hill is actually too steep to climb.

[@bronyraur3]

Just a matter of practice man, I'm still doing that lol

[@haneesh22]

Be fearless then my friend.

[@grayaj23]

I'm 54 and just took up guitar for the first time four months ago. I already suck way less than when I started. My fingers still do their own thing and the harder I concentrate the worse it gets. Practice every day, even if it's only for 20 minutes -- that's my rule. I"ve missed a total of four days since October.

[@edwardjosephbrennan]

no... that's not true, every time you pick up the guitar you do your brain a service...whether you improve a lot, a tiny, immeasurable bit, unnoticed, maybe even worse than last time...is still better than watching TV or most other things...pick it up.. go ahead. play something, anything that you like...it is only for your experience, don't get down, don't think you have to make progress on somebody else's program...just play music and be happy. Climbing...climb the hill in your own way.

[@MarciusRS]

So climb it!

[@joonescobar6195]

Im hearing a crawling bass line there.....?

[@jaymanjay1030]

The fifth and sixth strings should be G

[@hapax87]

The tuning for all 6 strings lowest to highest ; G,G,D,G,B,B. Some people prefer standard G major tuning, but I like this one better.

[@starringchristopher]

fun!!! thank you!..........c

[@BillNey732]

E is supposed to be g bud

[@MadMax-cf9uu]

tuning is : Low to high GGDGBB, next time get it right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@saitenfuxx8473]

E String tuned up to G, but carefully!

[@catsven1973]

Wonderful .. one if the best Floyd’s song .. I used to play it in standard tuning .. using chords G D C etc ..since 2000.. now I got why it never sounded as the original lol

[@starflyr57]

I was messing around last night playing it in standard and I thought I had it but hearing it in open g it's amazing!

[@hapax87]

There is a different lesson in open G here on KZbin, but I believe this one sounds more like David Gilmour's guitar playing . Of course David has the advantage of multiple tracks. So, on the album recording you are hearing about 6 different overlaid guitar pieces .

[@catsven1973]

@@hapax87 absolutely

[@riptideelectricalservicesl9012]

I like how you actually listen to the entire essence of the song, and then figure out how to best represent the song on the lone (yet powerful) acoustic guitar! It is the way my friend!

[@bigtrouble76]

you are great!great sound!

[@Vesper_Songs]

Really nice! Thank you for showing us how to play this amazing song

[@PSYCHOLOGYZOOM]

Dude you even have the right guitar. From my research and that of others, Gilmour used a Gibson J 45 on the early Floyd songs.

[@bronyraur3]

I wasn't aware of this, totally makes sense though. J-45s and J-50s are such great instruments.

[@PSYCHOLOGYZOOM]

Yes, if you look at the Floyd Granchester Meadows video here on KZbin (the live version) he is playing the J 45.

[@bronyraur3]

Good catch your right.

[@johndrobcuny]

It's actually Roger Waters playing the open G acoustic tuning on this song, not David Gilmour. Roger said that Syd Barrett showed him the open G tuning.

[@TheLingrush]

Should be G G D G B D

[@jimst3r1]

i just foujnd this :P no idea you did a lesson for it but i liked a lot of your lessons on stone temple pilots hahah love this though. I've seen a lot of people tuning the E up to G for some reason but i like your way of playing it with the bends on the acending part of the intro. Sounds more prominent like on the record, while others play it a lot more subtle which i find not as nice as it's a really nice part of the music.

[@bronyraur3]

Glad you liked it thank you!

[@TimPrendergast]

GGDGBB is the "Syd Barrett" tuning on the album... fyi

[@bronyraur3]

Had no idea but I'll try it out. Cheers~

[@12string-Randy]

Yes! thank you, someone actually knows how to play it

[@jordanlevin8]

if u really wanna be a badass about this song youll rock a slide too!

[@ronedwards2157]

Wow? Your pretty groovy man!

[@Orieus]

Awesome man! Boy is your J 45 a beauty!
