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.

Astronomy Domine - Pink Floyd from the album "The Piper at the
gates of Dawn"

Tab by J. Dodd, james_theburgler_dodd@hotmail.com

This Tab is just an amendment to the ones that went before it 
neither of them were great on their own but both had some good
bits.

Intro - Cool really ugly riff. This is different to the earlier 
versions, I like it this way.

E-------------------------0----0---------------------------------
B-------------------------0----0---------------------------------
G-------------------------0----0-----Play this twice-------------
D------------------------------1-----without the open------------
A--------------2---2--2--------2-----bottom e string bit --------
E-000000000000-0---0--3--------0-----which is only at the start--

Verse - 1

	Lime and Lipid...
	This is easy just a few chord printed below

	E	Eb	G	A
E-------0--------------------------------------------------------
B-------0--------------------------------------------------------
G-------0--------------------------------------------------------
D-------9-------8-------5-------7--------------------------------
A-------7-------6-------5-------7--------------------------------
E-------0*------0*------3-------5--------------------------------

* leave the open bottom E ring here it makes it sound far heavier
and rougher you can also leave it open on the Eb although that
sounds really course but I like it that way.
On the last line of the verse "Neptune, Titan stars.." dont bother
moving up to the A stay on the G for longer.

Then you get this, the weird falling bit. after this all the little
strange bits you don't really have to pay much attension to most 
of it is probably adlibed anyway.


E---12-11-10-9-8-7-6-5-------------------------------------------
B----------------------------------------------------------------
G----9--8--7-6-5-4-3-2-------------------------------------------
D----------------------------------------------------------------
A----------------------------------------------------------------
E----------------------------------------------------------------

E----12-12-12-12-12-12-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-------------------
B----------------------------------------------------------------
G----------------------------------------------------------------
D----------------------------------------------------------------
A----------------------------------------------------------------
E----------------------------------------------------------------


E----3-3-3-3-3-3/10-10-10-10-10-10-------------------------------
B----------------------------------------------------------------
G----------------------------------------------------------------
D----------------------------------------------------------------
A----------------------------------------------------------------
E----------------------------------------------------------------

Sounding bad makes this sound good!
