~ Part 1 ~ These are the INTRO chords. Also played over each solo. Plant fingers 3 and 4 in place, and keep them there for this entire exercise, all 3 chords. DON'T lift them off between chord changes! Play along with the track untill you mess up. Then restart the track from the beginning. Do this 3 times. You'll get farther each time. Click the play button below to play a MP3. Follow the chord progression above, in the graphic. It repeats several times, getting progressively faster! It starts slower than the recording, ends considerably faster! Don't play the riff/fills between strumming the chords for this exercise. Just strum the chords. Try to match the strumming in the track. REMINDER! PLANT FINGERS 3&4 for all 3 chords. Don't left them between chord changes! Em7 G5 Em7 G5 Em7 A7sus4 Em7 A7sus4 G5 G5 OK, time for some DRILLS! Like ALL tracks, you go as far as you can until you mess up. Then STOP! Start the track from the beginning. DO NOT PRACTICE SLOPPY! Start over each time you mess up. Do this 3 times. (Or more if you want, but 3 minimum!) Then move on. Each time you come back, (Assuming you're WORKING this workshop daily!) you'll get farther. You might never be able to play the drills to the end. That's up to you. But work them HARD until you at least make good progress, and can play smoothly around half way through each drill. Here's the thing . . . after working the drills, playing the same chords or scales, riffs, whatever will seem SO EASY at the normal speed! Solo Chords Drill: Same as the exercise above except . . . 2 chords per measure! It gets fast, FAST! PLANT FINGERS 3&4 for all 3 chords. Don't left them between chord changes!

LYRICS AND CHORD SHEET Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here Intro: Em7 G5 Em7 G5 Em7 A7sus4 Em7 A7sus4 G5 G5 (Solo): Em7 G5 Em7 G5 Em7 A7sus4 Em7 A7sus4 G5 G5 C D Dsus4 D So, so you think you can tell Am G Heaven from hell, Blue skies from pain. Can you tell a D/F# C Am green field from a cold steel rail, A smile from a veil? G Do you think you can tell? C D D4 D Did they get you to trade, Your heroes for ghosts, Am Hot ashes for trees, G D9/F# Hot air for a cool breeze, Cold comfort for change? Did you C Am G exchange A walk on part in the war, For a lead role in a cage? Solo: Em7 G5 Em7 G5 Em7 A7sus4 Em7 A7sus4 G5 G5 C D D4 D How I wish, how I wish you were here, Am G We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, Year after year D9/F# C Running over the same old ground, What have we found? The Am G G same old fears, Wish you were here.
