Pink Floyd is an enduring force in psychedelic, progressive, art, and experimental rock. The classic rock riffs, powerful lyrics, and unique approaches in their songs make them so popular among many generations. While they have many great tunes to play on the guitar there is one that is perfect for both those learning how to play guitar and advanced players. Here is a song lesson on how to play “Wish You Were Here” by Pink Floyd.
Some of the best songs to use to learn how to play guitar are by The Beatles. Their music covers common chord progressions but with new twists on the orders and harmonies. Their earlier hits are especially perfect for all levels of guitar. You can play both simplified beginner versions or the real progressions which can get a bit complicated. A great example of a challenging song sounding simple is their early hit “She Loves You.”
We’ve attended quite a number of guitar shows so far this year and at each one, we’ve been asked the same question; why don’t Rotosound make a coated electric guitar string?
