Shane, as usual, great advice! I’ve been doing finger exercises as part of my morning ritual since January but not with the hammer on. Went back and watched Justin’s module, it’s excellent! Thanks, will incorporate this into my routine.

When I first started playing guitar, using the hammer on was the way I learned.
Thought I’d have a play with this for a while, great fun! Helps to remember your EMin Pentatonic Scale…
Only odd thing I noticed was I put my headphones on to listen to the original for tempo and compilation and seemed to have lost about an hour of my day…
You don’t listen to Pink Floyd, you Experience it…

so, I’m just starting with good old Wish you were here. Perhaps I have a memory like a goldfish, so I kept replaying that first little riff and 1st Em strumming. This may be cheating, but I’m not proud.
That link above will will just loop through the lesson on the first riff/strum combo until you are sick of hearing it. Looper itself is just an online tool, so you can move the little sliders at the bottom to whatever you want to loop and there’s a slider to change the playback speed.

Oh, now that’s a cool little tool. Easier than firing up Garage band (where I need to own the music)
Great interface design too (I’m not a metal head, so the demo song was tough for me 
)

Thank you for posting.
Looking for some help that sort of but doesnt get clarified in this thread and its about tab vs name of notes and it doesnt just apply to this song and its giving me confusion.
In the stuck chords lessons Justin says Em7 is 022033 and that A7sus4 is either x02233 or x02033 what confuses me is that in the tab Em7 is -x2033 why is that Em7 and not A7sus4 and should it be played as the tab diagram or the chord named in the same music? I’ve seen similar in other tabs where the named chord is not the same as the tab notation.
I just want to know which is correct so I can “learn” the song correctly, and what makes the chord name the name it is if its not playing the full chord (but is closer to another chord, as described)
Welcome to the forum Nick
Chords names can get really complicated but follow basic rulls.
The Em7 chord needs a E as its root a b3 to make it minor and a b7 to make it a dominant 7 chord. In both examples 022033 and -x2033 both chords have an E as their lowest note first example is the E string the second is the second note on the D string. The b3 in the both example is the note G open G string and the b7 is the note 3rd note on the B string. The note G on the e string is an extra G or b3.
As for the A7sus4 x02233 it doesn’t have a b3. It is substituted with the 4th note of A major scale so it contains a Root note the open A string and the second note on the G string a 4th the note D on 5he B string and a b7 the G on the e string.
x02033 has a extra b7 on the open G string.
The differance between the -x2033 and x02033 is the root note 5he lowest note in the chord. The first chord has and E and the second has an A
So all these chords are full chords because they contain all the notes need to be a chord some just have more than one of some notes.
Hope this wasn’t to confusingr
Yes in did
