Echoes from the dark side of the moon
This four-bar excerpt is played over a stripped-down version of the verse groove. Our list wouldn’t be comprehensive without a few Gilmour solo moments. You can’t shake the feeling that there’s a blues progression buried somewhere deep within.Ĥ “Another Brick In The Wall, Pt. The chorus hook is underscored by robust F and C voicings and recapped with the opening Dm figure. The pre-chorus in the fourth ending jumps to the IV chord (G) before Gilmour unleashes the funky, syncopated diatonic triads in bar 4. His verse figure employs a pair of alternating two-bar rhythm figures (bars 1 and 2) played with a single tonic Dm voicing. Gilmour’s extensive use of triads reveals an awareness of chord/scale relationships. 1, causing each part to overlap the previous one until both guitars join in unison for a brief stab outside of the established D minor tonality.ĥ “Another Brick In The Wall, Pt. 2 and 3 are effected with the same delay settings as Gtr. The spacey guitar overdubs in the second system float over Rhy. 1)-which utilizes the timed delay from “Run Like Hell” at a slightly slower tempo-and presents two optional variations to drop into beat four of the figure. The first system isolates Gilmour’s palm-muted eighth-sixteenth-sixteenth accompaniment (Gtr. Both of the riffs illustrated in this excerpt broke new textural ground for guitarists. Set yours to play back four repeats starting a dotted-eighth note-or three sixteenth notes-later, dial in a 50/50 blend of wet and dry signals, and bask in it.Ħ “Another Brick In The Wall, Pt. The delay time and blend is crucial to both guitar parts. Gilmour’s majestic delay-drenched major triads pierce the upper register over a rhythmic D pedal tone that recurs throughout The Wall. These major- and minor-tenth harmonies outline the chords notated in parentheses.ħ “Run Like Hell” from The Wall (0:22 - 0:55).

Ascending parallel major triads played over a static D pedal tone-another Pink Floyd hallmark-make an appearance in bars 5 and 6, and provide the segue to the harmonized two-bar melody in bars 7 and 8.

Gilmour and company approach total heaviosity with this classic intro riff, which again combines gothic and blues elements within its opening four bars.
