NEW TAB: Pink Floyd’s Goodbye Blue Sky
Pink Floyd has been one of my top bands for a very long time. Whether it be the Syd Barret era Floyd, the Rogers Waters era, or the Waters-less era, Pink Floyd is still one of my favorites. The Wall truly stands as a masterpiece within the band’s catalog and I can safely I say I learned every guitar part and solo from that album. David Gilmour, much like Clapton, has the incomparable ability to say more with less.
I arranged Goodbye Blue Sky for octave mandolin some time back. It works well for standard scale mando too. The challenge of this fairly easy piece is two fold: 1) try to achieve a ringing sound throughout to more closely achieve the open guitar string sound of the Gilmour’s playing and 2) achieve the steady “pulse” or “heartbeat” of the original. It’s steady but never rushed.
Tab is available both in TEF and PDF on THE TRANSCRIBABLE page.
