Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here Guitar Tab & Lesson Plan Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here Guitar Lesson Though Pink Floyd is primarily known for their progressive or psychedelic sound, ‘Wish You Were Here’ is essentially Country and Blues song. The original recording features several guitars, including acoustics, electric slide, and a dobro. The following ’Wish You Were Here’ guitar lesson will focus on the essential rhythm strum and lead guitar solos for a performance by one or two guitarists. Along with guitar tabs and chord diagrams, we’ll cover it all with a step by step approach. Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here Guitar Chords The two-chord ‘Em7-G’ progression is the primary rhythm guitar part that is repeated throughout the Intro and guitar solo sections. The verse and chorus chords are ’C’, ’D’, ’Am’, & ’G’. How to Strum Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd The key to how to strum the Wish You Were Here rhythm is to keep the fretting hand steady and in position by keeping the third and fourth fingers anchored on the top two strings along the third fret. Played on a twelve-string acoustic, the Intro-Rhythm progression consists of five total sections. The entire progression is played twice to begin the song, then again during the Middle Solo and once more for the Final Solo/Coda. Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here Guitar Solo Lesson On the original recording of Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd, the rhythm and solo guitar parts are played with a ’call and response’ approach. The first step with timing is to focus on the call and response approach used in each section. For each section, the lead guitarist waits until the rhythm guitarist completes the initial ‘call’ riff before starting each ‘response’ riff. In the first section for example, the rhythm guitar ‘call’ will be the first five single notes played, while the solo riff ‘response’ starts on the last note of the ‘call’. All “Wish You Were Here“ guitar solos and riffs are based from the ‘G’ Major scale. Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here Songfacts “Wish You Were Here“ is a song by English rock band Pink Floyd. “Wish You Were Here“ was released as the title track of Pink Floyd’s 1975 album of the same name. David Gilmour and Roger Waters collaborated to write the music to “Wish You Were Here“, and Gilmour sang the lead vocal. In the original album version of “Wish You Were Here“, the song segues from “Have a Cigar“ as if a radio had been tuned away from one station through several others and finally to a new station where “Wish You Were Here“ is beginning. The radio was recorded from David Gilmour’s car radio. David Gilmour performed the Intro to “Wish You Were Here“ on a twelve-string guitar, processed to sound like it was playing through an AM radio. The intro riff to Pink Floyd’s “Wish You Were Here“ is repeated several times before David Gilmour plays further solos with scat singing accompaniment. “Wish You Were Here“ is often considered to be a direct tribute to Syd Barrett. However, on the documentary The Story of Wish You Were Here, Gilmour and Waters separately describe the original concept that differs from this interpretation. Waters, who mainly wrote the lyrics complementing Gilmour’s initial riff idea and subsequent joint composition, describes the lyrics as being directed at himself, as his lyrics often are. Roger Waters has noted that the collaboration between himself and David Gilmour on the song was “really good“. David Gilmour has playfully called “Wish You Were Here“ “a very simple country song“ and stated that “because of its resonance and the emotional weight it carries, it is one of our [Pink Floyd’s] best songs.“ Paluzzi Guitar The Creative Guitarist Method Series was written and designed by Kevin J.
