Hey Ryan! It's your old friend and former Brain Damage guitarist Steve McVicker. Great channel and great teaching! I"m going to use this to keep up my chops in case I play Floyd tunes again!
Great lesson! Another track with a similar rhythm is Childhoods end. That’s another song our band is doing. Would love to see a breakdown of the rhythm on that track !
Hi Ryan Nicely done! This was the main song I heard in 1973 that made me realise I wanted to play guitar and need a strat. Unfortunately, I had to wait until 1982 when I had been working a year to afford a Squier. I’ve read every book, but like you, learned this track by ear...never quite getting it right. Just had your vid come up and after 37 yrs of playing, I’ve gotta huge smile! You have nailed those partial chords that were so elusive to find...They seem so right and Gilmourish. Thanks for doing the donkey work I was too lazy to have searched for. Much respect. Regards from the UK
Wow! Love your comment. Thank you so much for watching and it's great to share music with you. I knew there'd be a few out there that really appreciated this and felt like I had to make the video. Keep rocking my friend.
I've since perfected it even a little bit more since I made this video but it's 95% there. At least the main vibe of the rhythm and all of that. During the chorus I'm definitely playing a D and an A now instead of the weird chords I show in the video. But man what a difference this made once I learned how to play it correctly.
Man Ryan....I been playing this song a long time... then I stumbled upon your video. Did I ever have it wrong!!! But it SOUNDED good!! It really did. But it never sounded perfect. That bugged me. Once you hear it the right way you can't unhear it. And I'm a nit picker too. That's for sure. You freaking nailed it bro. Thanks!! A HUGE help!! Finally I can play this track the absolute right way. New sub FO SHO!!
So amazing man. After I learned this I thought I should make a video because I couldn't find this information on TH-cam anywhere. With it being one of the best selling albums of all time I thought someone else would want to know this information. Lol. It's so hard to pick these tracks out sometimes is the mastering and mixing is such an artistic wonder. When I had to learn the lap steel parts on this album I have such a hard time recreating it. Then you realize that the lap steel is recorded with two and three lap steel tracks all mixed in to the point where it sounds like one lap steel being played 😎. You then realize why you can't recreate this stuff. It's no different with a guitar tracks on this album on many of the spots. Another note, learning how he played at this moment in his life with his g string being open all the time totally gave me a new perspective on how to play his stuff. He plays a lot of chords normally but leaves the g open a lot. Understanding this was actually the recipe to understanding his playing around this time frame anyway. Super awesome it helped and thank you so much for the follow
@@ryanguitargodfrey My son Nick is a sound engineer and worked at Swinghouse Studio in Hollywood. Did the sound for Jerry Cantrell, and worked with Tom Morello, Vinny Paul, Aerosmith..... some big names. When I was living in Los Angeles I had a chance one night to hook up with him and jam, see the studio, etc. Huge 36 track board and to many guitars and amps to count. Really something else. Marilyn Manson and Aerosmith were doing some recording there at the time and I got to see the rooms they were working in. Nick told me he had to pick up a van at LAX with Joe Perry's guitars in it. He told me there must have been 50 of them. One Les Paul he used only for the song SEASONS OF WITHER!! There was a Les Paul on a table taken all apart. Apparently Joe was looking to create a sound he couldn't get from the 50 he already had. 😀 Anyway, thought I'd share that with you. Taking the time to get the sound and the way David played this EPIC song says A LOT of your persistence on getting songs PERFECT. Definitely not easy. Sharing what you found says a lot about you bro. I appreciate it man. I've been working on PEACEFROG by The Doors Robbie Krieger. Trying to nail down that sound knowing that Robbie didn't use a Wah on the song.... and no pick. Anyway, I found that he strummed alternatly between the bridge and neck pickups on that SG he used. I usually use a pick and dropping that took some work but made an incredible difference in the overall sound. Something as small as that. Well, I'm rambling now but really enjoyed chatting with you. You never stop learning this stuff. No matter how long you've played. If anyone thinks they have they'll never reach that next threshold of playing. And you're right about it being impossible to nail all the parts bringing the studio into the mix. No pun intended. Multi-tracking makes that impossible for one guy with one guitar, one vocalist with one voice, etc. But.... we definitely can try to get as close as possible. A metal head playing (and nailing) David Gilmore!! Awesome man!! Thanks 😊
Great stuff Ryan, thanks for sharing this. And chance of doing video on rythm part for Another Brick in The Wall, Gilmour style? As usual, eveybody is playing it differently, and watching Gilmour playing it live it seems to me most of them play it wrong
I've learned so many of his songs and the number one recipe I've learned for almost all of them is his constant down and up right hand movement. Literally just go down up down up down up down up and a constant motion and you will find the rhythm for how he plays all his stuff from this song to pigs to blue sky to so many. This is definitely one of those where you just get it down and up motion and you can find the vibe inside of the rhythm I show you here. I'd like to redo this video because I've gotten even better at it but for the most part 95% of it is correct. I totally agree with your statement. If you're trying to play the song live and you add what I've shown here produces the vibe that I've always been missing playing this song. Thanks for watching
Once you get this down you totally get the vibe of the song. The secret which I have discovered to almost all of his stuff which I don't really show in this video clearly is the constant down up down up down up strumming with his right hand. If you fluently stroke down and up you can easily create the vibe of the rhythm part here and really is the key to nailing it. All of the accents need to be there will happen in the easy down upstroke of the right hand. Plus you really can play the chorus with just a simple D and an A and then the C # minor to B minor.

I've since perfected a couple of these runs and feel like I should make a new video. However, it's 95% correct. 😎👍
Qué buen riff, nunca había prestado atención.

This is great - thanks
Great rhythm feel Ryan! You are groovin' Sir!
Man, this video is awesome! Everything works out so perfectly. Cheers!

Aye thanks
Aye. You're welcome
Good video !!!
Thank you so much! How can I not make this video after learning that? Thanks for watching.
Nice Bud
To play this rhythm right and in time is harder than the solo, I think.

Literally just go down up down up down up down up and a constant motion and you will find the rhythm for how he plays all his stuff from this song to pigs to blue sky to so many.

Looks like the rithim part is harder than the solo!
