Thanks so much to my Patreon supporters for making these lessons possible! You can find your official tablature and chord sheet at: www.patreon.com/posts/pink-floyd-wish-6472659
how many hours a day did you practice when you first started and how long did it take for you to play a full song perfectly with no buzzing just like a professional?
Great question. I started when I was 11 years old, and I spent the majority of my teenage years practicing at least a few hours a day. Sometimes I'd lock myself in my room and jam, record, study videos, write songs for eight hours at a time. Basically, if I was working, I was practicing, or jamming with friends.
What to do when you don't have a credit card and paypal ask for your creditcard, but I still want the tabs and support you?
What do you use to make your voice sound that clear on a pc

Dun dun DUN!
You have a terrific teaching style. No fluff - it's all useable info.
You demo what you're going to teach, then break it down into bite size chunks, then regularly revise your progress.
I wish more TH-cam 'teachers' adopted your style. Big thumbs up from me!
Nice Bro Thanks

Well done man
I think you came to the right place as this guy plays with feel (soul) and does it right. That's so important and a bonus.
You did it, not done it
It's a whole culture of southern USA, just accept it
Thanks for the great lesson. I also signed up for your $1.00 a month subscription. As a disabled veteran, my guitar is sometimes my only company. So thank you for your hard work.
Hey thanks for reaching out and offering your support of my work, I hope you're enjoying the Patreon resources. It means a lot to hear from veterans and active soldiers alike. Please feel welcome to seek advice or just let me know how your practice is going. Be well and enjoy your progress. -Rob
Studio Adair Thankyou for your service Sir.
Studio Adair, THANK YOU for your service sir !!!!!! YOU ARE APPRECIATED!!!!!
Thank you for your service. I too am a veteran. And I also am trying to learn this song. I lost my Dad last year and I have a hard time getting through the song without breaking down. I want to be able to play this song for my mom and siblings.
rushing a classic...
An excellent tutorial. The dog sleeping in the background is priceless. Looks just like my Ben dog who passed a year ago December. 🐶
I'm a Japanese girl and I really like American and British rock music
I've searched these kinds of videos!
Thank you so much🙏
I really love japanese girls and I want to make out with them😬

This is BY FAR 👍❤️🎸the most complete and definitive lesson on this song!!And with you singing it’s actually like a little mini concert! I already have the basics of this song so I’m looking forward to learning those unique solos that I don’t know yet. Thank you for this wonderful lesson. David Gilmour is my favorite guitarist and Pink Floyd my favorite band so I always look forward to anything by Pink Floyd that you do.
18:34 The sneak attack C major chord, you crack me up man! Thanks for another great lesson!
I'm so happy that after playing guitar for over 55 years these lessons are now available for me to cruise on down memory lane. Now retired I play all day long switching back and forth from acoustic guitar, electric guitar and keyboards. Your method of teaching is right on point and much appreciated, thank you.
This guys Patreon is so affordable and informative. He breaks songs down so well and he explains theory towards actually enjoyable. By far the best guitar tutorial site I’ve come across ever.
Finally found correct teaching after 20 years. Worth waiting.. Thank you so much.
I've been listening TO and enjoying WISH You Were Here for THIRTY yrs now but I've only recently been considering "attempting" to learn HOW🤔lol I've NOT "YET" even listened&watched THIS guy's lesson but I HAVE read a few,MORE than a few...PLENTY actually🤣...and NOT ONCE did/have I seen OR read a reviewS criticise his lesson...and NOW I KNOW both WHERE & "WHO's" lesson I'm gonna use... STARTING with&ESPECIALLY so I can play t'INTRO/t'opening SIX cords🤣...coz THEN I'll be "chuffed" to bits with myself too hehehe....NOW I've read there's NOTHING except GOOD things/reviews on this TOP DUDE I CAN'T actually wait ANY longer to ACTUALLY listen& watch&HEAR him play during this clip/lesson👍10/10 me thinks IN ADVANCE...and I CAN'T wait until I KNOW&HE'S taught ME HOW TO PLAY it lmao👍🤣
You could have spent 5 bucks and bought the original sheet music in many forms from the original publisher
Very nice, very good lesson. It was so nice how you played what you were going to teach at the beginning. Really enjoyed it!
I've been playing for 50 years and I'm still learning. I lost the reading notes years back. But i know the chords and the basic scales. Music was my first Love.
swiftlessons i started two months ago, without knowing anything, I just finished the last section of the second solo. I thank you for taking the trouble to teach us
The dog looks impressed!!
Finally a tutorial with the exact way to play the song. I was just going through the video and the moment you started singing, tears came out of my eyes. This song reminds me a lot of my brother and my daughter who are no longer with us. It was a truly magical moment. Thank you so very much for helping out a lot of true beginners performing such a beautiful master piece. Can't wait to start practicing! Greetings from México and congrats on a wonderful performance.
I've been slowly working my way through this video for three days. I'm not gonna lie this song has been a wild adventure for me, but now I'm going to practice singing it and this is all thanks to you!! thanks man be well and jam on.
29 years old and I'm on my first day practicing this song; Pink Floyd is my favorite band and also my first experience in a concert ever, some years ago my dad bought tickets to see Roger Waters in Mexico city, I was 16.
This song represents a lot for me because reminds me that special moment with him and my brother, so now I live far away from him and the next time I visit him I want to play and dedicate this song and let him know in this way all my love. Wish me luck.
I love how this isn't just a great lesson, but a great performance as well!
dude u have no idea how HAPPY I am like from the start of quarantine I'm trying to learn how to play an eletric guitar and now I fucking can play this song with ease and just!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so excited I could scream but is four am righ now. thank you!!!!!
Can totally relate
Wow dude. I'm 50, and been trying to learn to play for a few years. Your video, and me writing it out, really helps. Thank you.
Great teacher... There are numerous great teachers online, and still Rob Swift was the best to teach Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" the best possible way... Thanks Rob!
Love Pink Floyd, David Gilmore has such a strong Blues feel to his style. This lesson is great because i know the strumming and the first solo, now i can learn the rest of the solos! Beautiful!
I agree, David's style is unique but still grounded in the blues. I'm glad I decided to teach the second solo, I've noticed that the other youtube instructors are just teaching the intro, and maybe the first solo.
I am glad you added them too, this lesson is iconic and you can tell you put the time in. i will be joining your $f.00 a month deal soon. Not something i usually do, but i think it is worth it. Thanks again bro!
Spent the whole day working on this lesson Rob. Fantastic. I learned that second solo and learned a lot of tricks and great picking and strumming patterns. This lesson is so accurate. Really working on refining this favorite song of mine now. Maybe in the future you could teach that last outro melodic solo that you did-so Beautiful !! Looking forward to your next lesson.
Thank you. I'm still working on "California Dreaming."
I can't thank you enough.
As long as you go slow, I can follow you. I'm an old guy, and just bought a Taylor 12 string.
You have given much happiness.
Thanks again.
Ive tried learning from alot of people on here and u are the only one I found that teaches people the right way.That and u take ur time and u also arent worried about show off your a very good teacher and I appreciate it alot im learning pretty fast actually so thanks and keep them coming.
💜 Your teaching! Ive always had issue with the solo part but now i am going to follow how you do it!! Thanks!
down, down, down up, up,down,down up, down up, Just had to write that down :d 11:22 (bookmark for my self, yeah im lazzy like that, hopefully no one will ever read this.
i ty for that stum,he speaks so quick
Thanks for that. No matter how many times I re-played it, I couldn't get it.
lars Olofsson
I had to write it down too bro. Lol
same here too bro.. The rhythm was hard to catch unless i wrote it down..
nice
As someone said before, I could sort of play the strumming part and 'bit' of intro, but after many years you showed me that I can now play the solo's in an hour. So, 'many years' versus 'an hour' ,,,, result, cheers bloke, great work.
Wish you were here is one of those songs that once you've learned it and played it 100 times, you never want to play it again. Thanks to you teaching the next 2 solos (one by watching and listening) I now love playing this again. Thanks for your time and great job very well done.
Played it in my band for years, except I'd walk over to my co guitar player, and look at him with dreamy eyes and sing "how I wish... how I wish you were queer"
It's hard to hear this song any other way now.
Of course you can't sing this kind of thing today with everyone being so "woke" and uptight and all.
Good times.
Thanks for the wonderful lesson. This is one of those songs which inspires me to learn guitar... Thanks again...
Hey everybody,
I look forward to receiving your song request, and am keeping track of the most popular suggestions. Visit swiftlessons.com/Request_a_Song to put it your request. Thanks!

How about "Put your lights" on by Everlast and Santana

This cover of Wish you were here has inspired me to pick up a guitar after a decade and to enjoy learning how to play. I love when a different artist can perform a classic track, emphasizing with technique and emotion that would make Pink Floyd proud.
I started this project haha when I was 61 years old and I nearly finish it take a lot technic I felt that this swiftlesson tutor explain very well, for me is amazing teacher ,not very complicated but difficult song to play, my fingers bleeding but it dosn't matter as soon I enjoyed this guitar practice , thanks swiftlesson you are awesome, see u later from kangorolandia Australia
Today's the first time I've seen one of your vids and I just learned that not only are you an excellent teacher but one seriously talented guitar player!
I’m 61 and in my first year of learning Guitar… I aim to play this before i’m six foot down.. :)
Music speaks when words fail. 🎶
my hippie parents named me after pink Floyd, im just starting to learn pink Floyd songs on the guitar and I anlways said this would be one of my first to learn so thanks good informative video. top marks pal
Your parents are very cool!
What’s your name!
Sneak attack Cmaj chord! Yet another excellent example of how to convey not-so-easy informations in very coherent and simple form. I highly appreciate how you don't need to cut your material, just go on with stuff and it's all there. One love!
I have been trying to play wish you were here for years. I am above fifty. Finally I learned the solo. Thanks 🙏 this was 👏 awesome.
The best tutorial ever for this song.
I'm self taught but can always learn something new I learned on a guitar with 4 strings I found in the trash I have learned that the way a guitar is tuned or what kind of guitar it is can give you a certain sound
By far the absolute best lesson for Wish You Were Here. Well done!
Thank you so much. This is easy to follow along even for a self taught beginner like me. I’m only playing for a couple of months and this is my dads favourite song so I’m very happy to be able to learn it for him. Music was the thing we always bonded over. I’ll probably teach it to him as well. Some quality father daughter time you know ☺️
Rob, there are so many tutorials online for this song but yours is by far the very best. And your voice is so perfectly matched for this song. And something funny, so many people who sing this song just can't get the opening "So..." perfect. I mean, it's just one word but you nailed it 110%. When people don't nail that first word just right it ruins the beautiful intro. One of my favorite songs of all time. Thank you so much for the great tutorial! --Mike
There's 3 notes in the first word. It's soul singing. I agree with you.
@@Malc664 A lot of people don't get that, Malcolm. When I hear someone sing the first word "So" in just one tone it ruins the rest of the song for me. It's gotta be done right. -Mike
Wow! he sing so good and play the guitar like a master
Yes I agree. Sickening isn't it?
One of my favorite online instructors.
Gets right to the point and makes it easier to learn.
Though this listen is not full but still it has to be definitly the best. Anyone can learn to play, the rhytem, lead and sing along as long one is dedicated to put in good amount of effort. Thank you,Rob for your genoristy for sharing this.
I am glad to say I managed to learn the final solo as after listening to it for thousands of times lol
I have to say buddy, this particular tutorial is by far the best I've watched.
It helped me break my bad playing habits to somewhat 50% better play.
Thank you very much, I've added this to my favourites 😃👍🎸🎸🎸
Really great instruction. Appreciate you taking the time to demystify the details.
You play great ...I just started ..might take me 5 yrs to play like this...but I think this is the most real tutorial for the song.
you're awesome! I just can't believe that you bend and pull-off just like DG... now, I can learn step by step and hopefully I can play about 60% to what you're playing then I'll be happy... love your teaching techniques...Thanks so much!
Hello from Russia! I always dream study to play this song. Your style so cool and very near the original. Respect for you.
Thanks, Rob!
My wife doesn't usually comment on my playing, though i know she enjoys hearing me when i play (esp now that i can actually make music, lol.)
When i first listened to this video, where you were playing and singing, she heard it, and called out from the other room. She said, "You need to learn that song!". (Of course i answered, "Yes, i plan to!")
And i did! Thank you for showing the solos. I don't have the recordings any more, and i just didn't remember enough details to play the solos.
But now, it hasn't even been a whole day, but I've mostly learned the song with the 3 solos, as you demonstrated.
Thank you, thank you!
Your skill is off the charts! (Playing AND singing!). 👍 👌
Hopefully you see this, jut wanted to say your inspirational to me whenever I learn on my acoustic I always turn to your videos, you break everything down to the littlest point. With out your videos I wouldn't be able to pull of the tricks I have learnt from you. Hell yeah it can be a challenge, but the way you play inspires me more to learn because you make it look so easy and you really put the time and effort into your videos for people to achieve their goals and you sure have helped me well and truly grateful, would just like to say a massive thankyou and I'm certainly sure I will be turning no wear else but to your videos. Thank you again buddy really do appreciate.From Macauley, living in United Kingdom. :) Thank you!!
This is the most perfect and easy to understand Wish You Were Here lesson that I've seen. Now I feel I have a chance to play it. Thank you.
Great lesson per usual! 🔥🎸🤘
Thanx for the lesson . I've played for awhile now , and I think you are one of the best out there doing this . The layering is great . Awesome . I hope you can do this for awhile man . I believe that you can really help alot of struggling guitarist out there ...
Great lesson, I hadn't played this song in years and I totally forgot it. This lesson is super easy to follow, I went ahead and got the tabs to go with it and I picked the song right back up again. Very cool, thanks!
Hi, you play a third solo at about 4:10 on this video, but provided no tab for it. It's a gorgeous solo. Can you provide? Thanks!
WOW!! man, now that''s a lesson. Thanks Swifty!
Thank you for this break down. I’ve picked up guitar again after many years and your video has helped me out with learning one of the greats. 🤜🤙
This is the best lesson for this song! Thank you so much for this. I'll finally be able to play the entire song for my father.

Im getting a guitar and im thinking of learning this for my first song

Muito obrigado pela ajuda, ensina muito bem. Abraço
Thank you very much for this lesson. I learned the whole song with the help of this tutorial. I've donated some money at Patreon to thank you.
What a brilliant lesson, many thanks for taking the time to show us how to play this great song. It's tricky in places but you explain and show everything very well.
Awesome voice
Thanks Greg, really appreciate the positive feedback! -Rob
That dog was sleeping so nicely 😊😊
You are a beast sir!! Can't figure out how people can dislike your lesson.. 🙄🙄
Great lesson! The way you showed how to progress through the song really helped me pick it up pretty quickly. Glad I found your channel. Keep making such awesome videos, man. Thanks
You are so amazing dude, wow. why aren't you famous?
Cass marry me
kk kk no
He is not famous because there are millions of people who can play this popular song
Yung Jamal so you must be tired
Your dog is precious 😊
Thanks for taking the time to teach me this great tune that I love so much. Feels so good to be playing it with my own hands fr. Your a great teacher fr. I'm still going back trying to remember the different strum patterns but for the most part I'm getting it. Thanks again bro
This is one of the best version i've ever seen about wish u were here
Think i could learn from you.
Thanks
Hello from NEPAL . you are great man. Suscribed :)
mate where are you from
+Arman Dai i'm from butwal bro
oh....
suscribed
the astonishing Nepal xD
my fingers are bleeding
Sounds like some serious dedication 😆. But in all seriousness, it’s important to know your limits when practicing. I recommend a little rubbing alcohol on the fingertips and in the future use Finger-ease to clean your strings.
swiftlessons thanks will do! Also great lesson ❤️
I HAVE BLISTERS ON MY FINGERS
That means you've been practicing a lot. That's a good thing.
Niceee✌️
Thanks for the lesson. Definitely helped me out. If i can see it i can play it. It's ALL about PRACTICE.
I finally picked up the guitar again after years away and your videos have been super helpful! Awesome!
9:20 down down down up up down down up down up
I come here to learn...and the next thing I know is that I'm listening to him singing...on repeat!
PS: my guitar is lying beside me 🤭
My great friend without meeting you in person, at 21 years of age I sold my yamaha acoustic guitar
to graduate
as a mechanical engineer, today At 57 years old, I bought my 17-year-old son a guitar, my son plays and listens to the pink floyd records that I carefully keep safe and are new in their plastic bag and cardboard case. my son wants to learn he is new to playing guitar and I want to learn again or leave behind more than 40 years ago !!! .. I bought a used yamaha F310 guitar and I hope to have it on hand and play it
soon I bought it from afar and I can not look for it because of the covid quarantine ... sorry for this whole story, your video is fantastic EXCELLENT too bad that youtube does not yet have an automatic sound translation of your language
or voice, for me It is a little difficult to see the translation of your language and at the same time see all the details of your fingers playing the guitar, but it is still the best guitar learning that I have seen .. from here in Venezuela living like in a cage by the Communism that now does not even allow us to visit our relatives, much less remove the used guitar that I bought. This song "Wish You Were Here" is one of my favorites and I'm trying to teach my son how little I learned because my learning wasn't much when I just started to play the guitar and I try to do it with whatever I bought for my son. I ask you if you can answer me. . My son holds or closes his hand completely to play the guitar down and I can barely see the punctuation or pickup of playing the strings, is that normal? My son bothers me a little and I tell him that this is a bad posture, you have to have your fingers a little open to strum or pluck the guitar. you can help me in that. What advice can I give my son regarding that bad posture of the right hand. thanks for your great teaching and
from now on I will be
in your group .. thanks again ...
Great lesson, can't wait to complete it. Started learning your intro using my Guild 12-string sounds awesome.
How didn't I find this channel sooner?
Your dog doesn’t seem to impressed but I am!
This song makes me happy..
Especially when I learn it
Thanks swift lessons for this amazing video
I’ve been playing this song for years, but there was a part in the intro I’ve played wrong ever since I learned it. So thank you! I also liked the added slide to the D/G on the second part of the intro solo. Sounds good dude. Cheers.
