Notes

Studio recording, 1972. The main riff and rhythm section of 'Wot's... Uh the Deal?' is played on a Martin D-28 acoustic guitar, as confirmed by multiple sources discussing the Wish You Were Here sessions and Gilmour's acoustic choices for this era. No evidence of electric guitar or amp in the riff section; electric lap steel is used for the solo only.

Difficulty

The riff is based on open chords and straightforward strumming, but requires a sensitive touch and dynamic control to capture the expressive, organic feel of the original recording.
