Notes

Studio recording, 1968 (A Saucerful of Secrets sessions). No evidence of live-specific gear for this song. Gilmour's main guitar at the time was his black Stratocaster with stock single-coil pickups. Hiwatt DR103 amps were his primary studio amps for this era. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for this track.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, percussive rhythm playing with syncopated chord stabs and dynamic control, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast passages.
