"The Great Gig in the Sky" is the fifth track on The Dark Side of the Moon, the 1973 album by the English progressive rock band Pink Floyd. The song features music by Richard Wright and non-lexical vocals by Clare Torry.
Genre Progressive Rock
I can’t say I ever heard anyone play this tune on guitar like this. Simply superb.
I got his tabs for Shine on you Crazy Diamond. Once you try to learn it you realise how damn good this guy is. Here he has done it again. Bravo
@@carlgorton4642 that is a great info, where can i find the tabs?
That's how it's always played
Agreed.
For sure!!!
This came up as recommended and I was skeptical...didn’t think this song could be done properly like this...wow was I wrong. Incredible job.
Check out his Shine On You Crazy Diamond cover. Absolutely amazing
exactly what I did. I could hear her voice in there....
@@shannonhemingway9950 It's a man singing.
@@Mantorok No it is not.
I'm a happy victim too 🙂
I was watching this thinking yeah it was pretty good but theres no way he'll do the vocal part fingerstyle. And then he did. Possibly the most amazing acoustic arrangement I've ever seen.
Only a guitar player would appreciate how well this guy played. Well played, sir.
I've never heard a fingerstyle version of this song before and i love that one, wonderful performance.
Un grande Maestro. Bravo, bravo, bravo.
I know this tune absolutely by heart, every detail of it. This cover picked up every nuances and is executede by the hands of a master !
I was thinking the same... every single nuance and detail and all the dynamics... pfff amazing
Avi Elkharrat I agree! Very well said.
Красачик
Absolutely.. incredible
The sign that he is pulling this off brilliantly is that it is almost impossible to listen to this without mentally inserting and almost hearing Clare Torrey's voice signing along.
I would never have thought that this (one of my all time favorite Pink Floyd songs) could be captured on a single acoustic guitar. So very well done. To say you have a gift is a total understatement.
"And I am not frightened of dying. Anytime will do, I don't mind. Why should I be frightened of dying? There's no reason for it - you've got to go some time."
- Gerry O'Driscoll, janitor
Abbey Road Studios
Genius
You forgot “ I never said I was frightened of dying”
Absolutely iconic.
A janitor spoke those?? What's the story? Always thought that was Rick Wright
your worst nightmare I think all the interviews on the album are of nobodies. Which makes it very special imo.
Beautiful Guido ... My dad passed 4 years ago this month ... a big Pink Floyd fan. After hearing the news of his death, (I was at work at the time) I left to be home with my family and the first song that I heard on the commute home was this ... My playlist was on random, 1000s of songs, and this was the first song ... was convinced that was his way of telling me "all is cool son, all is cool :)"
Wow, this gave me chills...sorry for your loss
That wasn't coincidence.
This gave me chills
Beautiful to know that even on the other side of existence your pops is telling you everything will be alright :) Life goes on. I'm sorry for your loss.
Losing your dad must have been so painful and probably still ambushes you from time to time.
I liked your PF story. My 19 year old son died in an accident 6 months ago. PF was his favourite band, too. We played The Great Gig in the Sky at his funeral, amongst other PF songs, including Eclipse and Wish You Were Here...they felt very appropriate.
This man's skill pegged the scale so hard he broke it...sounds absolutely beautiful
Я не представлял что ЭТО можно сделать на одной гитаре. Берёт за душу. 😢
Your'e a genius, the best!
Great to see real talent recognizing real talent!
If ever you could hear sunlight, I'm sure this is how it would sound!
sunlight flashing through cumulo-nimbus!
Well most any Floyd fan would be happy to share a little secret with you 🌈
The best part

I've been learning the melody line on guitar and trying to be fluent with it. What you do sir, goes beyond anything I could imagine doing for this song on guitar. Bravo, thank you, and I'll be listening to this for at least 100 times more.
Sitting here open mouthed... that was just incredible!
What a song and what a rendition! That was awesome!
Amen to that
Exactly how i felt!
I've never heard and seen a fingerstyle rendition of The Great Gig In The Sky. This is extraordinary playing....What a great musician you are ...
This may just be the nicest acoustic guitar piece I've ever heard.
Ciao Guido, dire che sei bravissimo non ha senso. IO sono uno strappacorde e forse non posso dare un giudizio. Ma tu ,come pochissimi sanno fare, sei nel tuo strumento e nel suono che esce. Senza parole.
Holy cow - I can't even imagine trying to approximate this on guitar. This is amazing! Great job!
This dude is like the calculus of guitar. Its an approximation that has become an equality. Every motif of the song preform was somehow captured here from the piano, to the bass, singing, electric guitar all in one piece. Very impressive work.
Assolutamente unico e fantastico. Suonata da Dio, da un senso di grande spazialità musicale e forte emozionalita.
Grande Guido Mancino!!! Seguo da tempo il sito, i pezzi sono suonati con grande maestria, sono uno più bello dell'altro.
Grande talento italiano
I've listened to it dozens of times. Each time I turn it on for one minute and I can't stop. It's a thrill! Thanks!
Sorry for my English. With love from Russia
Your english is fine, брат
@@Vadiquevids very good, better than most Americans
@@shakyhandpictures2185 hahaha))
What a beautiful execution of this piece. 👏🏼
Amazing. I'm sure Rick Wright would be impressed
Gilmour would be just as impressed if not more!
I'm blown away, this is an awesome interpretation, you made it your own, and yet it still hit every note where it needed fk hit.. Great work dude!
And I thought playing, “Blackbird”, by the Beatles, was a great accomplishment for me, seems I still have much learn. Bravo, and this sounded so beautiful!
I 'm practising on Blackbird these days, ah ahh, I think it'll be a great accomplishment when I finally succeed in playing it well
I cant believe this cover, the way you make one guitar sound like the whole song. Bravo my friend
Absolutely OUTSTANDING
Piano - Bass - Lap steel Guitar and vocals, all in one acoutstic guitar
Just OUTSTANDING - BRAVO
I’m gonna find the 10 people who disliked this video and slap them with a big fish. Outstanding playing!
👍👍👍
Slap them with a pig or dog instead
Now it's 28 but slapping isn't worth the effort.
I'm rather going to try and master two of those chords one after the other instead.
How about kicking them so hard they will have a front row seat to the great gig in the sky 🤜😎🤛

I have been playing this piece on the piano for over 40 years and have never found a guitarist who had a clue what to do with it--and then I find this. What a wonderful arrangement, Guido. You've not only nailed the accompaniment (including bass) but got the vocal highlights as well. The many hours you have put into this shows as you play it with such composure. Thank you for sharing! Enjoy Earth!
I truely didnt know it is possible to play such a beautiful rich melody with only one acoustic guitar
One of the best fingerstyle covers i have seen.
And when Clare got done laying that amaz,ing, emotionally reverberant track she said ,"sorry," and Rick was already in love with it. Worth it to warch The Making Of The Dark Side...
I'm a huge, huge PF fan, but never really cared for this tune much. Last fall I saw Brit Floyd (internationally recognized and touring PF tribute band - totally worth seeing) and they played this. The woman that did the vocalization almost brought me to tears. In fact, I'm almost tearing up thinking about it as I write this. It was touching, mesmerizing, moving - and a lot of other adjectives I just don't have the words for... It made the song finally "make sense" to me. She got an incredible standing ovation immediately afterward - to include me. My arms were tired from clapping so hard. It was absolutely, positively outstanding. Needless to say, I'm a fan of this tune, now.
Oh.. this is classic... still can't get over it...
Saw this masterpiece like 3-4 moons ago now i came back here and i realize why i added it up to my perfect list
Davvero pauroso. Una grandissima tecnica unita a una espressività rarissima. Complimenti di cuore da uno strimpellatore che credeva di essere un passabile chitarrista
Wow! Never thought this could be played on acoustic, great!
70 people 's musical taste is lost somewhere on the dark side of the moon.
This is nothing short of brilliant!
I've lost count as to how many times I've watched/listened to this and shown to others. Very well done!!!
Came back after two years and this is still beautiful.
You've added to this world.
Simply beautiful. This is every bit as moving as the original. Hats off.
The greatness of pink floyd is that no one can sound pink floyd. But you captured it well.
💯
Breathtaking
"And I am not frightened of dying,
any time will do,
I don't mind.
Why should I be frightened of dying?
There's no reason for it,
you've gotta go sometime."
When I clicked on this I thought you would just do the introduction (i.e. the bit before Clare Torry)...but then you kept going! Outstanding interpretation and playing, thank you for sharing.
Это гениально!!! Это виртуозно!
Это самое лучшее исполнение ! Хорошая работа! Спасибо!
BRAVO! For even considering do in this. BRAVO! BRAVO!! for even working out the arrangement and the tabs for doing this!!! BRAVO! BRAVO!! BRAVO! BRAVO!! BRAVO! for even attempting this. BRAVO! BRAVO!! BRAVO! BRAVO!! BRAVO! BRAVO!! BRAVO! BRAVO!! for doing the song justice!!!
Absolutely incredible.
It’s not the music we cry over, it’s the memories we’ve had while it was playing
Salve. Lei è molto bravo . La versione dei Pink Floyd ..Shine on you crazy.....fantastica.....Grazie.
Guido, congratulations for creating your own style and sound. This is something new. And the songs, nobody would even try to do it. You have nailed the harmony, the melody and the general feel- it's brilliant. It is so good that I want to by for start, The Great Gig. It gives me goosebumps, its a divine tune.
Regards Jack
This is what makes TH-cam so wonderful at times. Someone can be so creative and make something new and amazing out of something so classic, and share it with the world. Absolutely brilliant!
I can't understand how anyone could dislike this video. "Great Gig in the Sky" is one of the most beautiful compositions ever created and this man transposed it for the guitar so masterfully. This is now one of my all-time favorite videos & the new priority on the list of songs I need to learn. I hope to one day achieve this level of guitar-playing 🙌
Lost count how many times I’ve played this. It takes you away from everything, clears your mind. Amazing how talented you are.
I wish I could like this video thousands of times
Superb. A real work of love and art that requires immense dedication to the craft. Amazing.
An excellent version of this piece.
😲😲 wow..... I've been a floyd fan for 45 years and have never heard or even thought it possible to play this on a guitar, almost as moving as the original song..... thank you so much for sharing this ❤
Steven Harwood was thinking the same thing
Terrific performance! Just incredible 👏👏👏
So beautiful.
Clicked on this not expecting to sit and listen to the whole thing. Couldn’t stop watching. Extremely well done. 👏
I have listened to this probably 10 times or more,so beautiful.
I'm in awe every time I listen to this interpretation of this Pink Floyd classic. Guido's patience, ear, and work ethic make his fingerstyle works 'must-listens' the moment they appear. I have great respect for this artist! I look forward to each new offering.
Your pinky has its own zip code. Mine can't hardly skip a whole step. It's beautiful!!!
Epic rendition.
I never thought it would even be possible to play that song with an acoustic guitar. You proved it otherwise, amazing!!
Are you seeing that! Just one acoustic guitar, dude is a god ❤️🐿️
Never ever heard this on guitar !! Fantastic !! I can play it on the piano but i should learn it like this !!
Started off skeptical, ended up nearly crying. Bravo, sir. Phenomenal cover.
Бесподобно . Изумительно ! Спасибо за доставленное удовольствие .👏👏👏👍👍
I never thought this song was possible in just a guitar. out of this world!!
Incredible cover.
Also you look like you could crack open a coconut with those hands.
Exactly.
Fine job. It always amazes me how musicians are getting better and better. This fellow is playing the guitar part and the bass line simultaneously. Amazing.
Brilliant Guido , a reminder to all of the genius of Pink Floyd ! RIP Rick Wright !
Keep coming back to this
I never imagined that this song could be played like this. AMAZING. David Gilmore could not have done any better Just Beautiful.
Absolutely brilliant, as usual.
Dear Guido,
Being a guitar player myself, I thank you from. the bottom of my heart for this fantastic version of this piece. You've offered me a suspended moment in which I was sitting next to you and just listening. It's rare for me to be taken in such emotion. So, an ENORMOUS THANK YOU for your generosity and sensibility !
I think David now regrets he didn’t think or weren’t capable of such masterpiece
IN AWE GUIDO! One of the best pieces of the best band ever! I'm in heaven.. thank you,
Суппер.!!!
Nobody’s mentioning the cool effect at the end 😂 great cover !!
Wow I'm at a loss for words...
This is beautiful.
❤
When you effortlessly play piano and vocals on your acoustic guitar…wow!!!
Played within the highest Jedi standards cheers Vestro
Hi ! What is your tuning ?
I remember hearing this song live for the first time like it was yesterday. Unfortunately it was a PF tribute band, because Pink Floyd are a bit before my time (born in '97). Iremember it so vividly, because it's the first time I cried like a mad man during a concert. I never knew that music could pull that out of me, never have i felt that emotion, it wasn't sadness, it wasn't exactly happiness, it was a thing of its own, just raw emotion i guess. And this version was close to what I felt that day.
So to be able to play it on the guitar would be a literal dream come true, and even though i am noooooooowhere near this level of playing, i'll buy your tab and break my fucking fingers untill i can play this song perfectly.
Same. I'm not sure weather I'm able to play this, but I'll sure as hell try.
I am a big floyd fan and alk I can say is: Best acustic cover of this song!
I’ve watch this about 10 times now and the cleanness of his playing, the arrangement, and also the brilliance of the songwriters-it really comes through here.
Just a phenomenal job and a joy to listen!
A difficult enough song to play on piano, its native instrument, let alone on a guitar! Bravo Guido!!!
I always thought it was because of the unique singing - it is a unique song! Thank you very much!
Fantastic arrangement of a keyboard classic. Goosebumps all the way!! 👏🏼👍🏼
La musica ce l'hai nel cuore un pezzo dei pink floyd di una tale bellezza suonato cosi una sola parola .....complimenti!!!!!
I'm speechless, never stop the music man
Absolutely awesome …. I love how pronounced and accurate the bass line is . Muito legal senhor
There's not a note played that's not where he wants it to be. Beautiful.
Merci pour ce beau moment.Toi......tu as le Floyd en toi .
Its perfect 🥺
Love it when you post...love it more when its Pink Floyd
Now that’s how you play Pink Floyd. Amazing
Just wow, never imagined hearing an acoustic version of this that would do it justice, but now I have heard it. Very beautiful and masterfully executed, thank you…going to bookmark this now.
