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.

There are a couple of areas here that are still a little rough, but it's
much better than the existing version. Thanks to all the people who
posted versions of this song (this version is just a combination of the
best parts from other posts).

Peace,

this is my new-and-improved version of this song's tab -- there were a
couple mistakes.  apologies to the original tab-person, I seem to have
lost your name in the editing.  (sheepish grin)

the majority of this tab was perfect, I just noticed a few oddities and
changed them -- playing it as it is above now sounds exactly like the album.
