That tremolo bass part to 'One Of These Days'' was awesome. I could see the projection of those hypnotic yellow circles and red lights in my mind as you played it!
My 14 year old son this past year told me that he wanted to really get into playing the bass guitar. He's been in music class and after class all the time getting his teacher to let him play his Fender P-bass. For Christmas we got him a Harley Benton JB75 with a Fender Rumble 15 amp to get him started and to practice on. He's been listening to bass players from all over the spectrum to soak them up, Lemmy, John Deacon, Roger Waters, yourself, Geezer Butler, etc. to listen to how a bass is played from different perspectives. When he listens to songs he's always able to pick out the bass lines first with anything, he's always had an ear for it. I'm very thankful you're here putting the music out there for younger players hungry to learn. Thanks again for all you're doing.
Mr Pratt its not often we get to pass on the huge thank you for the years of entertainment and enjoyment received from watching live performances from DVD or listening to albums recorded. So please accept a huge and hearty "thank you!" for your work and the joy its made in my life.
I think for someone who's played it hundreds of times, he may have a bit different view of the song & it's simplicity. But for me, this video was fascinating!
I always loved, loved, LOVED the version of One of These Days that was played throughout 1994. Especially in shows where the middle part went on for longer, and more sound effects and whatnot were sprinkled in
I think one of my favorite things I've ever seen you do is the "Famous Disco Basslines" thing... probably because it was stuff you obviously loved (as do I... Bernard was so good). But looking forward to the Toy Matinee stuff. Thanks for taking one for the team; at least it wasn't "Play some Skynyrd man... play something we can dance to" :)
Love your playing,Guy! Have done for soooo many years. Loved your dad’s acting too, back in the day....yes, I am that old! :) Cheers and keep up the great work!! Jim
🙏🏻 Hola me encanta saber que solo tú llenaste el vacío que dejó la separación y siempre apoyaste a Nick y David solo albums...y que todavía hoy seas el bajista de ellos te hace parte de PINK FLOYD & i feel proud of you for that‼️ Por qué tú y tu estilo son únicos like PF‼️⚒
Not sure if anyone’s said it yet but the ending lick on Learning to Fly (Pulse) and the intro lick on Sorrow (Pulse) are fantastic and always a blast to listen to.
Thank you so much Guy! You're really fun&lovely... remember when I've eared your Money's bass solo at Venice live in '89, I exclamed "OHH WOOWWW"!!! I think you're a very very great musician 😊😃
Guy's videos are very educative, mostly because he is a nice bloke. I just try to imagine how positive and supportive everybody was in the band that powered those unforgettable tours...All great musicians, down to earth and funny. It must have been quite an experience to travel the world and do magic every night with the right people. Thanks for the memories Guy, I had the enormous privilege to see Pink Floyd in Mexico City two nights in April 1994. That was a dream come true and one of the magic happenings in my life...
Man great great hilarious video! Just what I (maybe we) needed. Funny, ranty, suntanned and still gives in and teaches the tunes people should be able learn on their own. Thank you so much.
Spaniel with a Head injury had me falling off my chair laughing. Brilliant. Loving these lock down licks. Have to say i enjoy your solos on the various tours.
WOW , Bass on one of these days ... I remember being a kid standing in the distance when you played the momentary lapse tour in Mannheim at the maimarktgelände. I will never forget the sound of the bass doing the groove , going into the delay based groove . Pure magic. Thanks Mr. Pratt for providing a childhood memory with images in my mind will never forget !!!
Despite its simplicity there's something about One of these days that sets my head rocking up and down. Hearing you mention Saucerful Of Secrets somehow led me to reading about Syd Barret. All I can say is Yikes.
Dear Guy. At first when I was watching this video, I didn't even realize who you are. I just thought, wow, that guy is great 😅 But now I know who you are… Shame on me, I’m sorry, but I forgot your name and my English apparently isn‘t good enough 😅 Thanks for all your videos, your great live and studio performances in past. Keep going on! Cheers from a formerly bass player from Switzerland.
After watching delicate sound of thunder way way back .. u guys on that show made we want to become a musician. Thx so much for ur contribution to years of enjoyment playing guitar..
When I was a teen I always loved listening to One of These Days from Delicate Sound of Thunder. That was always my favorite version, sincerely! Cheers mate!
You really make me laugh, which I a good thing right now 😁but I'm completely broke so I had to sell my guitar a while back. I have a chronic pancreatitis and really miss having a guitar. If anyone of u music people have a old guitar I would be eternally grateful. Stay strong beautiful people and remember that your government are lying to you....🤔👊💛💚💙❤💛💛💛💎
Thank you so much for these insights into your bass playing. And also for your book, which is an incredible fun to read. Brings back own memories of the 80ies and beyond. And now "Toy Matinee". I cannot smile broader 🍻🤘🖖
I can't overstate how much I love these videos! As a total non-musician, it's fascinating for us to see *how* these songs are played, both with your techniques and the effects pedals. I also love your cheeky responses to the comments. Keep 'em coming!
All I can say about Guys Bass Playing is it’s fucking brilliant and fucking loud. Docklands Arena 1989 during Pink Floyd Momentary Lapse tour, One Of These Days was so ridiculously loud, I almost spewed. It was like getting booted in my gut.
I am literally pi*sing myself,,,that was brilliant.Thank you Guy...PS..give me a shout out, I've worked full time since this covid thing...Literally emptying bins and picking up dog crap !!! I am living life on the edge....lol
You are an amazing guy, Guy. I have been following your music since I have memories of Pink Floyd but other than that I really appreciate your talent and friendly character with people. I saw you live in Toronto 2016 and it was amazing your bass made the stadium tremble. Thanks again for your music!
The day I got a Boss DD3 delay I ran home and twiddled the knobs until I got One of These Days just right, I think my dad was impressed at the time as he loved the tune, as I did (and still do). Thanks Guy!
I had the pleasure of seeing you live in Italy from 1988 to 1994 Rome with Pink Floyd then Florence 2006 - 2015 with David Gilmour. I was always struck by the technique and the complete mastery of the musical instrument - the sympathy and the vitality of the performance. thanks
Many thanks Guy, I've been a huge fan of you since 'Delicate Sound of Thunder' and spent hours transcribing your Money solo (not as many as Randy on Magnetic Ocean) or Jaco stuff.... You should be proud of that solo, they should never have cut it, I'm digging out my cassette which had it - I love that bass solo, a fantastic bass solo interpretation of a great tune. Thank you again - and your appreciation of the hard working folks on the front lines...hope to see you playing again soon.
That was brilliant......thank you! I'm not a bass player, but love the way you play the Floyd tunes......and yes in particular.....one of these days.....!!
I'm 66 and have always enjoyed Pink Floyd. Your bass playing is exquisite and a real joy to listen to over the years. it's obvious you enjoy music and life in general. Was always was curious about the signal processing you used on One of These Days, appreciate the detail you go into on these "Lock Down" videos! Keep on being you, Guy!!
This is awesome! I wish these videos had been around 30 years ago when I spent a good portion of my spare time pressing 'rewind' and 'play' on my old VCR trying to learn this solo. Thanks for all these videos.
I don't know if the like is for the "unbelievable sunny in Brighton", or the pure gold instruments he plays, or the way he explains or "genious is an idea rather then executions"... you know... all together, BTW one of the most and best effective music teachers ever watched.
Can’t believe he is the same person from the legendary Pink Floyd performances, namely Pulse, Delicate sound of thunder. Feels unreal! Hats off sir!!
“A spaniel with a head injury could play that” ... love the honesty. Refreshing... and so enjoyable to watch. Thanks for making it fun Guy.
That's why Roger Waters wrote "Dogs" : he sang about his spaniel skills.
Watching you and Leland Sklar has been the highlight of my quarantined existence.
That tremolo bass part to 'One Of These Days'' was awesome. I could see the projection of those hypnotic yellow circles and red lights in my mind as you played it!
My 14 year old son this past year told me that he wanted to really get into playing the bass guitar.

The money solo is simply stunning. Thank you!!!
😂 oh come on, "one of these days" might be simple to play, but the bass bit on its own is genuinely incredibly enjoyable!
I think for someone who's played it hundreds of times, he may have a bit different view of the song & it's simplicity. But for me, this video was fascinating!
I think it that feeling changes after 100 shows...
That’s what I said!
@@guypratt7104 : Heart of the Sunrise = One of these days w.o. delay?
"I'm not really good at any of them" referring to his own solos - a vast, vast understatement my friend!!
I always loved, loved, LOVED the version of One of These Days that was played throughout 1994. Especially in shows where the middle part went on for longer, and more sound effects and whatnot were sprinkled in
Great Guy, this solo is one of the indelible things about that great concert !!!
i could listen you for hours Guy so much fun to listen to such a master at your craft cheers !
Humorously condescending, yet still gives you the answers… for free! What a champ! 5 stars!
You make me smile. Great humor. Thanks
Just love hearing the bass. So glad to find your channel. Loving your book too. Thanks so much.
Absolutely love everything about this! Don't do yourself down Guy, this is a legendary part and only you can play it like this!!
So today I learned that a spaniel with a head injury is more musical than I am.
What a time to be alive.
I think one of my favorite things I've ever seen you do is the "Famous Disco Basslines" thing... probably because it was stuff you obviously loved (as do I... Bernard was so good). But looking forward to the Toy Matinee stuff. Thanks for taking one for the team; at least it wasn't "Play some Skynyrd man... play something we can dance to" :)
My favorite Guy. Thank you for the fun bass moments. Stay safe, Love! 💕 🤫
Great Musician with a great sense of Humor! Love it! Your personality and obviously your chops!
I don't even play bass. Just simply and genuinely enjoying listening to you talking about it.
Damn these videos hit hard 3 years later.
Drummers LOVE bass player's like this Guy...lol...thanks Guy for your infectious groove and great rhythm
Love your playing,Guy! Have done for soooo many years. Loved your dad’s acting too, back in the day....yes, I am that old! :) Cheers and keep up the great work!! Jim
Thanks man! You are the reason why I started playing the bass.
Hi Guy . You're a freaking legend. We love ya
loving these Guy, keep em up if you can. Thanks for uplifting us musicians....
Guy, I absolutely love the bass line from Sorrow. The bass is so industrial and powerful... It is one of my all time favorite. Thanks you!
🙏🏻 Hola me encanta saber que solo tú llenaste el vacío que dejó la separación y siempre apoyaste a Nick y David solo albums...y que todavía hoy seas el bajista de ellos te hace parte de PINK FLOYD & i feel proud of you for that‼️
Por qué tú y tu estilo son únicos like PF‼️⚒
Not sure if anyone’s said it yet but the ending lick on Learning to Fly (Pulse) and the intro lick on Sorrow (Pulse) are fantastic and always a blast to listen to.
I did it. Ep 2.
Iconic! You are an amazing artist and glad to have this opportunity to have a bit more detail on these favorites...
Guy Pratt, you are one of those thing that make these hard times stronger to live.
I love this Guy! :-)
Love these videos! Leland Sklar has been doing pretty much the same. Bass heaven!!
I am melting over the overt sarcasm throughout this video. This is so much fun!
I saw the Division Bell tour when I was eight, in Chicago. One Of These Days scared the crap out of me with the terror pigs.
Love his british humor
Thank you so much Guy! You're really fun&lovely... remember when I've eared your Money's bass solo at Venice live in '89, I exclamed "OHH WOOWWW"!!! I think you're a very very great musician 😊😃

Guy Pratt may be my new favourite person
LOL you're the greatest and funniest bass player in the universe!!!
Always a guaranteed laugh. Some certainty in these strange times is appreciated. Thanks heaps Guy.
Man great great hilarious video! Just what I (maybe we) needed. Funny, ranty, suntanned and still gives in and teaches the tunes people should be able learn on their own. Thank you so much.
Bassilicious indeed. 💜
Oh look Guy Pratts TH-cam channel. Subscribed.

''couldn't be fucked to learn it again''.
Story of my life.
Despite its simplicity there's something about One of these days that sets my head rocking up and down. Hearing you mention Saucerful Of Secrets somehow led me to reading about Syd Barret. All I can say is Yikes.
I named my son Barrett. Syd's story is so heart breaking. My son is 30 now. Even after all these years, that story breaks my heart.
Your music related videos are the best most enjoyable things I have watched since this whole lockdown thing.. wonderful..
Legend. One of the reasons that l started bass, thank you Guy.
Dear Guy. At first when I was watching this video, I didn't even realize who you are. I just thought, wow, that guy is great 😅 But now I know who you are… Shame on me, I’m sorry, but I forgot your name and my English apparently isn‘t good enough 😅 Thanks for all your videos, your great live and studio performances in past. Keep going on! Cheers from a formerly bass player from Switzerland.
Guy, no entiendo muy bien el inglés pero quiero que sepas que aún así me encanta ver tus vídeos, eres un máster! Cuidate muchísimo! Saludos!!!

"I can't play bass solos cos I'm not good at them" - then proceeds to play a really good bass solo.
Amazing. Thank you Guy! This is pure gold for all of us!
Thank you so much for these insights into your bass playing. And also for your book, which is an incredible fun to read. Brings back own memories of the 80ies and beyond. And now "Toy Matinee". I cannot smile broader 🍻🤘🖖
My Spaniel was absolutely stinking up the room with his bass line cover of Comfortably Numb. So I hit him up side the head. Viola! Who knew?
I clearly need some delay and tremelo effects to add some fun to simple basslines. Thanks Guy! I loved seeing you on Pulse.
I can't overstate how much I love these videos! As a total non-musician, it's fascinating for us to see *how* these songs are played, both with your techniques and the effects pedals. I also love your cheeky responses to the comments. Keep 'em coming!
Thank you Guy, for me is a plasure to repeat and learn your "Great Solo" after year !
Ciao from Italy !!!
Marco
All I can say about Guys Bass Playing is it’s fucking brilliant and fucking loud. Docklands Arena 1989 during Pink Floyd Momentary Lapse tour, One Of These Days was so ridiculously loud, I almost spewed. It was like getting booted in my gut.
I am literally pi*sing myself,,,that was brilliant.Thank you Guy...PS..give me a shout out, I've worked full time since this covid thing...Literally emptying bins and picking up dog crap !!! I am living life on the edge....lol
I was loving your playing way back when - loving these now! Thanks Guy!
You are an amazing guy, Guy. I have been following your music since I have memories of Pink Floyd but other than that I really appreciate your talent and friendly character with people. I saw you live in Toronto 2016 and it was amazing your bass made the stadium tremble.
Thanks again for your music!
Thanks for the Comfortably Numb lesson by the way
I love the Pulse version of Money! I have all the new caviar!
Can I have any?
The day I got a Boss DD3 delay I ran home and twiddled the knobs until I got One of These Days just right, I think my dad was impressed at the time as he loved the tune, as I did (and still do). Thanks Guy!
I like both styles, yours and Waters'. They are both amazing in their own way.
Hey man, you are great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The one thing missing from the bass line that was only heard on the album, was David Gilmores bassline.
I had the pleasure of seeing you live in Italy from 1988 to 1994 Rome with Pink Floyd then Florence 2006 - 2015 with David Gilmour. I was always struck by the technique and the complete mastery of the musical instrument - the sympathy and the vitality of the performance. thanks
Many thanks Guy, I've been a huge fan of you since 'Delicate Sound of Thunder' and spent hours transcribing your Money solo (not as many as Randy on Magnetic Ocean) or Jaco stuff....
You should be proud of that solo, they should never have cut it, I'm digging out my cassette which had it - I love that bass solo, a fantastic bass solo interpretation of a great tune.
Thank you again - and your appreciation of the hard working folks on the front lines...hope to see you playing again soon.
never knew Dennis Hopper could play the bass
joe pesci
Can we have a video on "staying alive" by the bee gees please?
Certainly knew who this chap was before coming across his TH-cam channel but quite entertaining. Very refreshing.
That was brilliant......thank you! I'm not a bass player, but love the way you play the Floyd tunes......and yes in particular.....one of these days.....!!
I am that Spaniel with a head injury!
Word is Spaniels with head injuries are very keen on the song Dogs...
Always loved Guy as a bass player but these videos are brilliant. Really funny and a genuine guy.
Guy, thank you for the lick lessons. Your one of my favorite bassist and partly the reason I picked one up after guitar.
1:25 i think every bassist can relate to this lmao
Dang Guy has grown up
Grown up?!?!?! He's grown Ooooooooooo, I guess I won't say it, cause I'm not far behind. ;-p
That Money solo it's one of the reasons why i started to play bass. Thanks for show how simply are the good things. Greetings from Argentina
I'm 66 and have always enjoyed Pink Floyd. Your bass playing is exquisite and a real joy to listen to over the years. it's obvious you enjoy music and life in general. Was always was curious about the signal processing you used on One of These Days, appreciate the detail you go into on these "Lock Down" videos! Keep on being you, Guy!!
Tabs?!!
Just kidding, lol
That is not a bass, that is THE bass. The one that he used for delicate sound of thunder
This is awesome! I wish these videos had been around 30 years ago when I spent a good portion of my spare time pressing 'rewind' and 'play' on my old VCR trying to learn this solo. Thanks for all these videos.
Sir, you are so funny! I just love your overall vibe and personality besides the exceptional talent, of course.
Thank you so much for this.
This means maybe you saw my video of the solo too, OMG
Love your videos....and I’ve never touched bass in my life.
These videos are great! It is so nice sharing your experience... and listening to you!
I don't know if the like is for the "unbelievable sunny in Brighton", or the pure gold instruments he plays, or the way he explains or "genious is an idea rather then executions"... you know... all together, BTW one of the most and best effective music teachers ever watched.
@Guy Pratt I lost my shit with "A spaniel with a head injury".
1:29 this sound hahhaaa
Brilliant, haven't laughed and enjoyed a TH-cam vid like this in ages, cheers Guy
I learned this bass solo by myself at the 90s using a VHS videotape. it is amazing, i love it. What a great thing seeing this video now
Thanks Guy. You're a legend. Peace to you and your loved ones.
