Wish You Were Here use the pattern: IV - V - II - I followed by: V - IV - II - I. The simple variation drives the tune forward and makes playing the song meditative. The opening licks Gilmour play use the minor pentatonic scale.
The 'Wish You Were Here' guitar part might be the most copied part for guitar ballads ever. The Stadium meets campfire trick have been attempted by so many rock bands since 'Wish You Were Here', it's actually difficult to think of one that doesn't sound a bit like "the original". As you saw in beginner lessons, most classic guitar ballads use the chords of G Am C and D.
Classic Acoustic Guitar Tricks
Even the hammer on's are classics, repeated many times since. It's hard to imagine an epic 'one acoustic guitar" kind of song before 'Wish You Were Here'. It is almost as if it is written to be played in a stadium. Copied by hundreds of other famous songs in progression, chord shapes and guitar style it is compulsory to learn a song like 'Wish You Were Here' note for note.
The video lesson is as close as guru could get it. No one can play it like Gilmour, but there's a great lesson in trying.
Song Title: "Another Brick in the Wall pt.2" corrected version.
Artist: Pink Floyd
----------------------------------------------
This is a corrected versoin of Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the
Wall pt2" . I've also figured out the song right before it, "The Happiest
Days of our Lives." I love the way these two songs just go together, so I
felt that it was appropriate that I figure both bass lines out. The author
of the original tab posted in the bta was John Cooke.
Tuning: Dropped "D" I notice that Roger Waters seems to like this
tuning and many of the songs on The Wall and other albums by Pink Floyd
are in this tuning.
NOTE: The reverb effect can be simulated by pulling off and hammering on
between the note indicated and the note in parentheses.
"Another Brick in the Wall pt.2" Repeat 4X

D ---5-5-5-5-------------7-7-5-3------0-----------7-7-5-3------/-0----------
NOTE: Then repeat the whole song starting from the single bar line at the
beginning of "Another Brick in the Wall pt.2." Keep going until you reach
the single bar line that has "To Guitar Solo" above. Then go straight to
the next part written below. This part actually starts a measure before the
solo.
Guitar Solo Repeat until the end

Then, as I wrote in the tab, just repeat that until the end. Well,
that's it. I hope that you find this accurate, and that it enlightens you
in some way.
