About this lesson
This is a great example of how a classic song can be built from just a few simple chord shapes.
It’s a great progression for beginners because it mixes basic chords with small variations and movement, which makes it sound way more interesting without being hard to play.
Once you get the feel of those transitions, the rest of the song comes together pretty easily. Have fun with it and enjoy that classic Floyd vibe.
