Notes
Studio recording, 1975. This is the original studio version from 'Wish You Were Here'. Gilmour's Black Strat was used for the riff/ambient sections of Pts. 6-9. No evidence of alternate guitars for this section. Effects are primarily from pedals, not amp. No evidence of effects loop in use.
Tone Character(10)
glassy and cleanlush and ambientmodulated shimmercrystal-clear highssmooth sustainslightly compressedspacious and three-dimensionalnot overdrivendistinct modulation movementwarm low end
Difficulty
The riff section is intermediate due to the need for expressive phrasing, subtle vibrato/whammy bar use, and precise timing with delay and modulation effects, but does not require advanced speed or complex chord voicings.
