I think i’f find a straight play through more helpful than breaking it up, since the individual lessons already do the parts, and this would help sticking them together

in fact what would be really great is a strum along with the chords up on screen. : )

Will these lesson where put out 15 years ago when youtube had a 10 minute limit on uploads. So the only way to up load 40 minutes of a lesson was to break it up.

Hi. that makes sense, but im talking specificly about the 4th lesson, where justin does a playthrough of each part. I’m just suggesting a playthrough of the whole thing would be more helpful at that point to help me stitich the parts together in my head.

I found this. David Gilmour - Wish You Were Here ]Pink Floyd[ -Live Acoustic- - YouTube

These guys seem to be able to play it well enough :upside_down_face:

Im just struggling a bit going from the intro to the C chord strumming and it sounding like i’m still playing the same song.

I also LOVE the version these girls do. I wondered why Tony sings her solo until I watched Gilmour in the vid above. Wish You Were Here (Pink Floyd cover) - YouTube

Justin notes that “In this lesson I play through the sections - this needs remaking and I will get on it soon! :)”.
How soon is soon?

I agree that it needs a re-boot :slight_smile: It does the job but I would love to see the lesson renewed after 14 years.

I would love to see Justin play this all the way through, rather than separately playing the different parts and stopping for a pass between each part.

There’s the intro sequence, a solo in the intro and then the verses/chorus.

I’m having great difficulty incorporating the solo into the intro. The Intro repeats the same sequence 2 times. However, the solo starts just after the beginning of the second sequence or repeat of the intro, but not exactly at the beginning. I’m having difficulty transitioning from the intro sequence to the solo part. The intro sequence is played once and then the first part of the Intro is played as follows G > Open 5th string (A) > hammer-on the B of the 5th string > open 4th string (D) > E - then the solo starts.

I’m really having a difficulty making this transition to starting the solo and I’m playing this on my own. On the recording, the intro carries on in the background and it’s a 2nd guitar that comes in to play the solo. I think it would help if I saw someone playing the intro and the solo. Unfortunately, Justin stops between the different parts in this video.

Hey Ian,

Have a look at my rendition from a few years ago; including the rhythm and solo intro. It may be of some help with the timing etc.

Cheers, Shane

Thanks Shane. Your recording of that song is the best on this forum. Yes it helps to see that with the little insert video showing the solo. I’m trying to do something different which is to go directly into the solo from the intro rather than doing a recording and overlaying the solo on top of the intro. But your video definitely helps. Thanks.

Thanks for the kind words Ian.
Not really sure what you’re trying to do, but good luck with it.
This tune is a great teacher, in many wsys…

Cheers, Shane.
