Good Day Pink Floyd fans. Come in here dear boy, have a cigar, your gonna go far….! My studio cover of Paranoid eyes, from Pink Floyd’s 1983 release The Final Cut. The Final Cut album had a strong impact on me as an acoustic guitar player… the drama of minor chords, diminished chords, seventh’s etc… are very strong. Any true Pink Floyd fan would agree that this album was a critical mark in the career of this incredible band. No tabs, please don’t ask. I mostly improvised guitar licks and single note playing, the keyboard playing was entirely improvised after playing particular parts of each of the songs. I would try to find a notable sound (strings, clarinet, flute, oboe, saxaphone, organs… whatever) and try to duplicate after probably 100 attenpts to learn what sounds good to my ears to be like Pink Floyd. I just played guitar chords I found on ultimate-guitar.com… ultimate-guitar.com/pink_floyd/final_cut_album_crd.htm And if the band you’re in starts playing different tunes I’ll see you on the dark side of the moon….

just tuned down a full step & thought I would play some Floyd on this new Epi that I’ve gotten..trying to do a rendition of Grantchester Meadows…

Got into the zone for this one. Part of me was kinda already there anyway. Picture this; you are a jet setting pop star touring America. You ring back home to talk to your wife..and a man answers the phone..then hangs up. You ring again, he answers again; and then hangs up. You crumble and for the next forever you sit alone in the middle of a pitch dark room with a TV in front of you, banging numbly against the remote control. Not Comfortably numb..but Uncomfortably numb..until they sedate you and take you away..to perform the next show!! Delightful. To me Floyd were always like musical drugs. For those who did not take any; and probably for those who did too;) The copyright belongs to the original artists….
