[C] Alright, this is the guitar lesson for Brain Damage by Pink Floyd.
The easy way and the correct way.
Starting off, guitar in standard E tuning.
_ Okay?
And there is a [G] ton of stuff going on in this song.
[Ab] Multiple guitars, there's synthesizers, all kinds [Eb] of [C] different effects.
[G] It's crazy.
So let's keep it, we'll break it down to the basics, okay?
Don't get overwhelmed by this song.
[N] Alright, so let's make a D.
And what we're going to do is we're going to strum slowly through it.
[D] _
Like that.
Okay, so we strum once through it.
And we go, _ _ alright, so strum through D and then pluck D, D, G, E.
Okay so, _ _ _ _ _ there's two [G] different ways you can pick through this song.
Alright?
There's that way, [D] which is D, _ D, G, E.
Or, you can mix it up with, _ _ which is D _ and then you hit B and E.
Okay, so we got, _ let _ _ _ _ _ _ me start over there. _ _ _ _
There it is, okay?
[G] _ _ _ _ _
_ Just gives you a couple different ways to switch it up.
I kind of stick with this throughout the [D] entire time I play. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ Okay?
So, how this song goes is it [D] goes D, _ _ D, you do that twice, then we go to, it's like a G7, okay?
You take your [D] pointer finger, put it on the first fret E string and you strum through
the same four strings and do the same [G] plucking pattern. _ _ _ _
Back to D, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ G7, _ _ D.
_ _ _ _ _ _ Now we move this all the way up to E, okay?
So it's the D pattern, just [G] shift it up two frets, [E] okay?
So we're on the fifth fret right there and then we're on the fourth fret with our middle
and our pointer finger. _ _ _ _ _
_ And now we come down to do an A and this A we're barring the second fret, all four strings.
Take your ring finger, put it on the third [A] fret E string, okay? _ _ _ _ _
Back to [D] D.
_ _ I strum and play through it once and [B] then I go, _ _ so I go E, B, G and I have my middle
finger off, okay?
So I go E, B, B, E, B, B.
So once [Ab] again I'll play through it for you so you can hear it, [D] okay? _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
I had to [G] think about that for a second.
Okay, after that you do [D] a D7, _ [N] all right?
Which is kind of like a D but backwards, okay?
So it's ring finger on the second fret E string, we got our middle finger on the second fret
G string and our pointer finger on the first fret B string, okay?
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] Strum that a little bit and then we go into G. _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] A.
_ And [G] on A, what I'll [A] do is I'll strum through it a couple times and then I'll go. _ _
[Am] So I'm going down from, I hold the A and with my [D] right hand I'm plucking [Db] the B, G, D.
Okay, so _ [C] let me go C.
_ Dark side of the [D] moon.
Back [G] to G. _ _ _ _ _
So it's G, _ [A] A, [C] C, [G] G.
_ Okay?
Not bad.
_ _ So, _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ all right, the final part of dark side of the moon or of brain damage I want to show
you is after the chorus, after the.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ It goes, whoa, whoa, whoa.
So it [Bm] goes B minor [Bm] 7, _ _ E [Em] minor 7, _ _ _ then we go A7.
[A] _ _ All right, B [G] minor 7 is a B minor, just take your pinky off, [Bm] okay? _ _ _ _ _
Okay?
[G] So actually it might not be a B minor 7 but basically it's a B minor and you take your
[Bm] pinky off, okay?
_ _ Now you make an E minor [N] 7 and that's an E minor and then take your ring finger and put
that on the third fret B string.
[Em] _
_ All right, now we make an A7.
[G] Okay, so it's an A, take your [A] middle finger off.
_ And then we go back into.
[D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ Back into the verse, okay?
Really not a hard song to play, there's so much going on, just make sure to keep it simple,
okay, and keep it fun.
