Here's An Uncle Tony's Quick Tutorial of how to play “Wot's… Uh The Deal" by Pink Floyd, written by Roger Waters and David Gilmour. This is one of my favorite “deep cut” Floyd songs. It was never performed live by Pink Floyd, but Gilmour revived it for his solo tour in 2006 (see link below). That live version has a very different slide solo, and an amazing performance featuring the late, great Rick Wright on piano. I try to keep these tutorials as brief as they can possibly be. Remember: you should strive to have almost no tension in your wrists and hands when you are playing, keeping the rhythm is more important than playing the "right" notes, and down / up picking is the key to the universe! Have fun! 😎🤘🍔🍟🎸

This helpful and healthy personality is ubiquitous around the world.

[@edwardnoonan9015]

Sir please more Pink Floyd tutorials. You do a better job teaching it than a lot of people on KZbin. You deserve more views

[@orthoceras]

wow I came in expecting a monotonous 20 minute tutorial, but this was highly informational! thanks!

[@UncleTonyGuitar]

I’m so glad you enjoyed it!

[@Norollo]

My all-time favourite piece of music... words, notes, piano and guitar solos, voice and emotion, wot not... The look on uncle's face in the thumbnail for an 18-minute video - erased any doubts of monotony for me.

[@logcena8742]

Came here for the tutorial. Stayed to learn some Pink Floyd lore

[@TheAisleOfPlenty]

I subscribed after 5 min of watching your King Crimson tut. Anyone can tell immediately you're dishing out the authentic stuff, nothing watered down. Great work Tony!

[@UncleTonyGuitar]

Thank you so much, I’m so pleased you like it. And as a lifelong Genesis fanatic, I still can’t figure out why “Aisle of Plenty” makes me cry... so, great handle!

[@TheAisleOfPlenty]

@@UncleTonyGuitar Wow - MY all-time fav band is Genesis! lol You should put some videos up. Suggestions: For Absent Friends, or Can-Utility And The Coastliners would make some great Acoustic tutorials.. :-) pretty pleeeeeese ! hehe. All the best ! (Love that you got the Genesis reference right away lol)

[@UncleTonyGuitar]

I almost did a tutorial of “For Absent Friends”, but there are two separate guitar tracks, and it’s so hard to sort out. I may do “Horizons”, but for flat pick rather than finger pick. But next I’m going to aim a bit easier, maybe Pail Simon “Me & Julio"? Cheers!

[@DavoY2K]

Thanks for breaking it on down, Uncle Tony. I was Floydenating in no time.

[@UncleTonyGuitar]

Ah, the simple pleasure of a good Floydination... glad you enjoyed!

[@michaelabbott9080]

Last week at the museum l met a very cool Dutch guy who plays drums in a Pink Floyd tribute band..They are friends with and regularly open for Jan Akkerman...remember him...???

[@matthewvalanda4312]

[@strumbolli]

Seriously mate Thanks for this 👏 a lot easier than I'd imagined although the devil is in the detail as explained here.

[@UncleTonyGuitar]

Glad to be of service! You got this!

[@soundslikenobody1850]

Uncle Tony you're a really sound teacher - its nice to be in your discipline

[@UncleTonyGuitar]

Thank you so much! Glad to be of service. : )

[@BrickDavis]

Dude this is the best Pink Floyd track ever....I just discovered it a year or two ago. never Owned the cd of Obscured by clouds, but man I love streaming apps becuase I don't have to buy albums anymore, but man I miss the nostalgia of buying music in the 90's.

[@BrickDavis]

actually It was probably November 2020 I had discovered this song....that's a very rough estimate but its only been with me for like two years....so great and meddle is still my favorite album. from them.

[@BrickDavis]

also can you do bowie's Suffragette city?

[@mertkarakas2327]

thanks a million

[@UncleTonyGuitar]

You’re most welcome!

[@CPaiva99]

New fan here ! Trying to figure it out your Guild ! A D-55? Just beautiful sound

[@UncleTonyGuitar]

Thanks, glad you liked the lesson! My 1993 Guild D-55 was an American beauty, but I have traded it in as it was becoming just too difficult to play. I’m trying to make friends with my new Taylor 417eR...

[@rolennon]

Uncle Tony, could you please make a tutorial of A PILLOW OF WINDS? Thanks

[@UncleTonyGuitar]

Thanks for the great suggestion. It’s one of my very favorite Pink Floyd songs. When I get back to making tutorials, I’ll keep it in mind! Meanwhile, keep on playing… ⭐️🎸

[@ivargun]

Thank you for a wonderful tutorial, Tony. Is the picking pattern for the chorus different from the verse? It seems like it is, but I can’t quite figure it out.

[@UncleTonyGuitar]

Thanks, and glad you enjoyed it! The chorus picking is shown at 3:58. On the G chord it’s: down / down / down / up down / up down / up, which is a fairly standard pattern. (Try watching that section and focus only on the right hand. You can even slow the speed to 0.75. We guitarists are so used to watching the left hand, aren’t we?) Hope that helps! 😀

[@ivargun]

@@UncleTonyGuitar that's a good idea! ☺️ Again, thank you 🙏
