Gimour is the greatest rock guitarist ever. There may be others who are technically better, but none who can convey the emotion he does with his playing. So much of his work hits me in the ear, but strikes me in my soul.
The way gilmours eyes started to water when he started to sing. He feels the music just as much as anyone, and I hope he puts on one more last show cause I’d pay a fortune to see it 👌
The one thing that always amazes me about David Gilmore is how incredibly humble he is. It’s almost as if he has no idea how many people he has affected with his talents. I don’t admire many people but he is a hero to me.
@@smokeandkippers Very well said Sir! Although I have never met him, I have heard from others who have spent time with him (work related) and they all comment on his almost zen-like humility. For many high-achievers the humility is but an act, but for him it is apparently quite real. My guess is that he realizes that he was gifted with an extraordinary talent both emotionally and musically and that he was but the corporeal guardian of that gift. Sure he toiled long and hard to master his craft, but there was a spark from somewhere. I am far from a mystic, but good heavens that boy was given a gift!
I’m so glad I practiced playing that song trying to nail every note, every chord, slide and bend, because I can play that song as close as I possibly can to the great David Gilmour. It’s the most requested song in my family.
I am learning it now, cannot believe after all these yrs I am starting to get it. Not easy but made up my mind to learn it if it kills me and I am making great progress. Fun one but not easy at all.
Went to see Pink Floyd at the now demolished Earls Court. Loved every minute of it.. The journey down,the excitement,the couple of beers,before. The walk past the tee shirts because we couldn’t afford it. Sadly I’m 72 now but still a fan. Thank you David.
John - how did you keep from melting into a complete puddle at 4:56? Such an incredible privilege to get this private informal performance - thank you so much for sharing it. David Gilmour seems like a genuine and down-to-earth soul. He's taken remarkable care of his voice and guitar playing over the years - very inspiring to see someone age as gracefully as he has. Your channel and interviews are phenomenal, thanks again for sharing!
You can see it in his eyes he still feels it like it’s the first time he played it. Fucking legend and I wish I could have seen him live. Gilmour you are on the top 👌
Iconic. When I was a child in the early 80s and knew nothing about the band itself, I always envisioned their music travelling from a distant point in outer space where the gods dwelt; or an obscure group of shadows massive as Saturn drifting past the stars creating tonal ether. But alas, human magic.
This is REMARKABLE to watch. I mean really moving. To say nothing of the fact that he plays these guitar parts so flawlessly after all these years, to see David break into the vocals, sing them so beautfully, & yet stop as though something wasn't quite right......... It is something so beautifully melancholic, to be so capable as a singer after all your years Dave, & yet to know in your heart that the very best, the peak, is behind you. You are a living legend Dave Gilmour.
David your the best.i have a martin GPC x2e. im learning to play this song.i play almost every day.i Grew up listening to your music. I had the album with the triangle hanging up on my wall in My room.The Dark Side Of,The Moon when I was younger. I'm almost 60 now. I love your music. Keep rocking dave.
I used to go by his place all the time on the river and thought it was some restaurant that never seemed to be open....... had I known I would have bowed my head each time I went by, in homage .
It's so amazing that a simple thing such as a few lyrics and chords can withstand the rigors of time and still elicit so many different feelings to so many different people....truly a musical treasure and masterpiece.
Very moving, such a beautiful song brings back so many memories. Feel very privileged to have been around long enough to remember hearing it in my teens.
Absolute legend this guy.. I can sort of play that song on my acoustic but boy do I wish I could play it like that.. Quite stunning to see him play those 2 guitars again.
Its a treat watching the legend play the 12 string. He plays it straight from the heart and that makes it priceless..How I wish I could watch their live show.. unfortunately they never have ever travelled to India !
godddammit it's so touching in its simplicity and his voice is so rich with honest emotion...it's also kind of "sparse", just as his genious simple yet brilliant way of playing guitar...this song always gets to me. Thank you so much for sharing, great footage !
Just like Jimi,Eric,Carlos,Prince,Kurt,J.Marvin etc etc You've touched the deep down of my soul David!!!very good guitar skills thank you thank you soooooo much for this beauty song
Merci d’avoir ajouté cette vidéo sublime. On est carrément avec David Gilmour dans le studio en séance de travail.Quel plaisir de l’entendre chanter le début de Wish you were here, et quel bonheur de l’entendre faire sonner ces magnifiques guitares Martin ! So great,Mr Gilmour 😊
Vaguely right!! Must be amazing knowing, but not really caring, that everyone seeing you play thinks you are a bloody genius and would drive all day to see you practice!
It's raw film rushes .. actually brilliantly filmed but purely with the final documentary in mind so the cameraman is capturing it from lots of different angles .. they were then cut down in the edit for a seamless piece. I hope that explains it ?
It's pretty easy to play, Bryan. Do you have a guitar? Thanks to this video I just learned that the opening notes are all happening within the G shape chord on the bottom 3 strings and also on the open 4th string for that one highest note of that little melodic part (watch his index finger play it), all the while he is always strumming the top 3 strings of the G chord to make that repeating chordal sound that is the background chord that doesn't change. Then the rest of the song is G, then to the C on "So, so you think you can..., then to the D chord on "tell", A minor on "heaven from hell", then back to G on "blue skies from pain", to D on "can you tell a green field from cold steel rail", A minor, back to G again and then it all repeats. So its a I-IV-V-vi-I-V-vi-I progression in G major. And it sounds just like the studio recording if you have a 12 string guitar (which I don't)! :) How strange that this video was uploaded 17 hours before I searched it out to learn how to play the song. I had seen it on here long ago (I think) and came back to review it again. THANK YOU SIR for providing this resource! I appreciate it!
LOVE this sooo much, do more! i'm 4 years into learning guitar, a huge FLOYD fan and learned this song, but to watch his nuances playing seeing up close is wonderful
In my mid 50s and I’m about 2 1/2 years in to play guitar and I can play this one straight through sing the whole thing. It’s a great song to learn and super great for beginners ….David Gilmores afreaking genius.
One of the greatest musical geniuses of our time ..thank you for giving the world some of the best music ever created and for me personally, hours of pure joy listening to it..very often in tears..
I like that it took him some time to get the solo "vaguely right" :) I played both the riff and the acoustic solo, too, and heard Gilmour play all the typical bum notes here, those that one inevitably gets while playing this iconic solo :) Looks simple but it's tricky in fact.
Absolutely, 100% agree!!!! This song was amongst one of the first songs that I ever learned to play, both on 12 & six string (Embarrassingly over 35 years ago now) and it still continues to catch me out in the exact same places, lol 😂. But it’s a case of, “Once you know, you know”! Guess I’ll just keep practicing 🤣
Picked up guitar 3 months ago. Been learning how to play this song and only recently worked up the courage to learn the solo. Holy cow is this impressive
Lost one of my dearest friends this year. This song reminds me of all the people I’ve lost. I spend every day of my life holding it together for my family, but this song in particular reminds me that it’s okay to sometimes fall apart for awhile and really miss the ones that have passed on.
hearing classic amazing songs like this makes me feel sad for the shit that kids have to listen to today, i only hope they have parents or grandparents to show them what music really can be
He got a bit emotional at around 5:25 and you can clearly tell that song means the world to him, like the rest of their music. That kind of upset me a bit as his voice had risen as in to cry, and you could see it in his eyes. Sterling bloke
David's question at 3:06 reveals - to me at least - how he achieved this song's famous string bends on an acoustic. They're very hard using a WOUND g-string. However, switching to an UNWOUND g-string they suddenly become much easier. Thanks for making this video for that gem alone.
Sir, David Gilmore, is the Master, now and forever. God gave him a special talent. This wonderful gift has brought such Joy. I am in awe each and every time I listen. I was born in 59, and greatful to Artists like David Gilmore. There is no music that compares to the beautifully created music he has shared with the World. Thank you, David Gilmore !!. I feel honored to listen to any performance that you present. Karen Byrd, Elkin, NC , USA ❤
I been playing this song on my 6 string for years and finally picked up a second hand 12 string this past weekend and can’t stop playing this song. My favorite song to play. And yes when I get to that C chord I can’t help but start singing it too.
Oh my god where did this come from!! I knew I was playing it correctly even though many of the instructional vids I watched had it differently- This could not have come at a better time in my progression of this song- Thanks ever SO much David!!!!

Rock On !! John
I love DG. He talks like a university professor but dresses like a plumber, then rips out the most iconic guitar riffs like they're nothing. Love 'im.
My plumber does not wear a sport coat nor does he reside in a river boat! Sir I must know more!
Plumber? Last I checked they don’t wear a sport jacket. 🤔
Think he was talking on stage but, tshirt jeans and VERY expensive shoes.@@rtothec1234
Great comment 😀
God has blessed this man with talent beyond belief, may he live many more healthy years.
Yes, yes, may your invisible friend in the sky smile upon him!!
Many ears ago when I was a kid I spent a whole afternoon learning the opening acoustic solo and here I am again aged 70 still fooling around with it.
I wish you all the best 😊 I'm 34, heard this masterpiece when I was 6, still fond of it .
Couldn't help crying when he started to sing...
Drink up bud
Because he’s so bad
Maybe you should get some counseling for that. 😅
@@benjames77bdyou misspelled amazing
Give it a rest Gilmore
I will never get tired of watching David Gilmour play a guitar. It's up there with sunsets and starling murmurations. Simply mesmerising.
Gimour is the greatest rock guitarist ever. There may be others who are technically better, but none who can convey the emotion he does with his playing. So much of his work hits me in the ear, but strikes me in my soul.
Well put. Now shut up.
Easy
David Gilmour can do more with one note than most of todays shredder’s can do with an entire fretboard… Dave Mustaine 😮
This is so brilliant that I dont know how to put it into words...
×2
x3
You just did.
You described it very eloquently.
"Vaguely right"
After playing both parts flawless. What a legend.
The way gilmours eyes started to water when he started to sing. He feels the music just as much as anyone, and I hope he puts on one more last show cause I’d pay a fortune to see it 👌

I am far from a mystic, but good heavens that boy was given a gift!
I could watch this stuff for hours. Mesmerising.
I love this song. I find it difficult to play without tearing up for people I miss.
Looked like he had a tear in his eye. I can't even imagine the memories he has from this song.. 🤔👍
Wow. Seeing all that emotion still there after all these years with that tune is good, and hard, to watch. At the same time.
Finally a clear view of Davids fingering for this song. Thank you. Looking forward to checking out the whole interview!
I’m so glad I practiced playing that song trying to nail every note, every chord, slide and bend, because I can play that song as close as I possibly can to the great David Gilmour.
It’s the most requested song in my family.
I am learning it now, cannot believe after all these yrs I am starting to get it. Not easy but made up my mind to learn it if it kills me and I am making great progress. Fun one but not easy at all.
Thank you John, historic recording
Went to see Pink Floyd at the now demolished Earls Court.
Loved every minute of it..
The journey down,the excitement,the couple of beers,before.
The walk past the tee shirts because we couldn’t afford it.
Sadly I’m 72 now but still a fan.
Thank you David.
was there too.... wall...
With all due respect to the others, this is Pink Floyd…the heart, the soul, the emotion.
John - how did you keep from melting into a complete puddle at 4:56? Such an incredible privilege to get this private informal performance - thank you so much for sharing it. David Gilmour seems like a genuine and down-to-earth soul. He's taken remarkable care of his voice and guitar playing over the years - very inspiring to see someone age as gracefully as he has. Your channel and interviews are phenomenal, thanks again for sharing!
Yes. It was indeed a privilege !!
Leyenda viviente!!
Thanks John, another priceless bit of rock history.
Thank you for your beautiful music
You can see it in his eyes he still feels it like it’s the first time he played it. Fucking legend and I wish I could have seen him live. Gilmour you are on the top 👌
Iconic. When I was a child in the early 80s and knew nothing about the band itself, I always envisioned their music travelling from a distant point in outer space where the gods dwelt; or an obscure group of shadows massive as Saturn drifting past the stars creating tonal ether. But alas, human magic.
There’s photos of him in the studio recently and apparently confirmed he’s working on new music so keep you eyes peeled for tour dates. 🤞
This guy still blows me away in my 50’s….”see how easy it is”…..he seems so real, and modest….wouod love to meet this man! 👍🏻🇨🇦
I feel privileged to have watched this. Just love seeing how its put together - so unplugged and raw. Perfect.
Thank you
Legendary song
Just beautiful...i could listen to it forever😢
God I miss that band. They put on the best live performances, his playing is always rehearsed and perfect, every song a masterpiece.
Not the antisemitic crap
Someone once said that no one is perfect. Clearly, they never experienced David Gilmour.
Songwriters don’t make this up anymore ….. solid gold😊
I live this guy like I love my family members. Unfortunately, he can't live forever. But it'll be a sad day for me when he passes.
This is REMARKABLE to watch. I mean really moving. To say nothing of the fact that he plays these guitar parts so flawlessly after all these years, to see David break into the vocals, sing them so beautfully, & yet stop as though something wasn't quite right.........

He is simply a beautiful man.
One of my late girl best friends passed a couple months ago, she loved this song so much, I cry almost every time I hear it❤️
I’m currently learning to play this song. Wish that I had that 12 string Martin.
I could watch and listen to him ALL day. ❤. Those blue eyes and satin voice.
David your the best.i have a martin GPC x2e. im learning to play this song.i play almost every day.i Grew up listening to your music. I had the album with the triangle hanging up on my wall in My room.The Dark Side Of,The Moon when I was younger. I'm almost 60 now. I love your music. Keep rocking dave.
Man, that voice. So smooth.
I used to go by his place all the time on the river and thought it was some restaurant that never seemed to be open....... had I known I would have bowed my head each time I went by, in homage .
cool
What an amazing guitarist and man. Just hearing him doing it here makes it more emotional that listening to the album.
A masterpiece that is.
One of the best titles of Pink Floyd for sure. ❤❤❤❤
It's so amazing that a simple thing such as a few lyrics and chords can withstand the rigors of time and still elicit so many different feelings to so many different people....truly a musical treasure and masterpiece.
My favorite!

Absolute legend this guy.. I can sort of play that song on my acoustic but boy do I wish I could play it like that.. Quite stunning to see him play those 2 guitars again.
Hands down the best acoustic song in the history of rock and roll.
Its a treat watching the legend play the 12 string. He plays it straight from the heart and that makes it priceless..How I wish I could watch their live show.. unfortunately they never have ever travelled to India !
Genius! Legend for eternity!

Living legend!
Best thing I’ve seen in ages. Thank you so much
Glad you enjoyed it!
Whenever I need motivation to continue my guitar journey, I just listen to David. So inspirational.
Just like Jimi,Eric,Carlos,Prince,Kurt,J.Marvin etc etc You've touched the deep down of my soul David!!!very good guitar skills thank you thank you soooooo much for this beauty song

Just right, nothing compares to this.
That man is an absolute musical genius
What I'd give for 1% of this legends talent! 👏
1% of this mans talent would probably be somewhere around Shakin Stevens , Be careful what you wish for .
Many Thanks Mr. Gilmour.
