Have restrung a spare guitar with this set up just for this song, absolutely loving playing it. Have waited 30 plus years to be able to play this song properly. Thank you so much.
Great video once again. The fun part is that last night I had to pick a guitar to string up like this to work on the song. I wake up today and find this gem here. 💎
I’d humbly suggest trying a thin or even an extra thin pick, If you’re relaxed in the wrist and hand, and let the pick do the work by maintaining a perpendicular motion (up down as you demonstrated par excellence)I the spring action at the tip of the pick will produce a very consistent volume/timbre.
Thank you so much for this video. I was quite going crazy to look for a correct tuning and arpeggio picking. You did it in simplest way. I need to follow your channel if this is the level. 😅 keep rocking man
YAMAHA, are a strang dog, they make some of the best and worst, but the two poles are miles appart. a godd cheap yamaha guitar can sound like heaven, even giving a nice low action on an electric, but some really stink. I am no piano player but Elton sounds bloody good on one. (yes, its a mixed message, but Yamaha not just the same? Off to buy a motorbike now...
Great stuff- Nashville/ high strung sounds so sweet. One more idiosyncrasy that I think I've discovered (but I can't note of it anywhere on line) is that Gilmour seems to be tuned sharp, like a quarter tone to maybe half a tone. Does anyone else find this?
You’re getting buzzing because the Nashville light gauge strings aren’t pulling enough tension on the neck to bow it into regular position especially since the neck is set up for a 12 string. Personally I think it sounds cool.
So D’Addario makes a 6 string Nashville/ High Strung set (0.10-0.27). I replaced my standard 12-string set and used two of these Nashville sets thinking I’d get the Hey You tuning; but watching your video, I guess I should’ve left the higher string of the 6th string pair/ course (from the 12 string set) behind, since it seems like the 6th string course is still an octave apart rather than unison. Is my understanding of this correct, or are you saying that the 6th string courses are in unison, just like the 1st string? Thanks for your great instructional.
Thanks for the instructional- I watched your video and played a cover version/ interpretation that is on my channel at the following link: ua-cam.com/video/-Li25ZZbEfg/v-deo.html
I bought a three pack of the same D'Addario strings recently, after which I thought I might look up a lesson on this song 😁 my main use for the strings will be for complementary over-dub tracks alongside ones recorded with a standard 6 or 12 string.
So ? Can you spell out the tuning for dummies like me , please . I have a 12 string and tune it EeAaDdGgBbEe . Thanks . I'm thinking what you are saying , if , you play a 12 string you just skip over the "thicker " gauged string . Still standard tuning .
Yes, except the 6th string that would normally be your low pitched E, you replace with another high pitched E. So the 1st and 6th strings are both the same gauge string. So the notes on all strings are normal e a d g b e, but the key is replacing the low E string. And yes, you want to use the rest of the string gauges on strings 5,4,3 as the higher pitched ones from a 12 string. Make sense?
So David is basically sweep picking, but slowly. I taught myself how to sweep pick a long time ago, but I only learned fast. I suspect that as with any time that I try to play like David, it's going to take me forever to... finesse it into sounding anywhere close to as good as he does.
So the Low E is the normal high E? I know he tried to make this understandable. Could someone make a diagram of the twelve strings with + and _ or something a bit simpler to understand.
Afinação de oitavas de um violão 12 cordas, ou seja, imagina um violão de 12 cordas sem as cordas normais ficando apenas as cordas oitavadas. Essa afinação é chamada de Nashville Tuning ou High Strung .
This is still outstanding for this song. I have both an acoustic and electric strung Nashville, and now I’m very tempted to change the low E on the acoustic to a high E string just to play this song.
Is there literally on ly one damn song ever written played in this stupid tuning, i thought they were just a different tone (whole a$$ education i got the last few days on NT) but they render a guitar usless for anything but THIS stupid song? Wtf
I knew it was different from the tabs online lol. I was like there’s no way they played it like that.. this makes more sense. Geniuses.
Have restrung a spare guitar with this set up just for this song, absolutely loving playing it. Have waited 30 plus years to be able to play this song properly. Thank you so much.
Bles you. I’m 61 over the years couldn’t get that sound. Incredibil tricks. Super job thanks
great tutorial...thanks man....no wonder I could never get that sound before...this high strung "Nashville" turning is absolutely magical.
Great video once again. The fun part is that last night I had to pick a guitar to string up like this to work on the song. I wake up today and find this gem here. 💎
no way! That's some awesome cosmic synchronicity going on there
Thanks for showing me something very different than I’ve ever seen or heard before.
Yea, and his string arrangement of the guitar is 100% correct.
Mind ---> BLOWN ! Thank you !
I’d humbly suggest trying a thin or even an extra thin pick, If you’re relaxed in the wrist and hand, and let the pick do the work by maintaining a perpendicular motion (up down as you demonstrated par excellence)I the spring action at the tip of the pick will produce a very consistent volume/timbre.
Thank you!
Thanks for doing it with the proper size strings 😃🤙🏽
A Brilliant exposition, thank you.

Welcome!
Wow, what a difference the string choice and tuning choice can make for the arpeggiated acoustic. I thought it was a generic 12 string.
The Wall...released November, 1979. This tuning is also used on "Mother" and "Comfortably Numb"
I have never heard a guitar of any kind, with such clarirty at all levels.

Looks like Yamaha dont have clear marketing/board agreements, or set a standard accross the company, from country to country...Shame.
The main problem with Yamaha is that you dont have a clue whether your looking at quality or not, do they?
Y'all make lernin' fun. Thanks Man
you explain really well
Great lesson!
Excellent video! However, now I need to buy an additional 12 string to keep in Nashville tuning! Thank you
Right ? I guess that's what he was trying to say ???
Or just string a six string up for it
Excellent tutorial.....
Excellent video thanks
Thank you 🙏 best lesson 👍🏻

Wow.. l always wondered why that song was so hard to play and make it sound right.. 😮
The Wall is from 1979!
Great tutorial.
Thank you!
Thanks, was very helpfull.
So D’Addario makes a 6 string Nashville/ High Strung set (0.10-0.27). I replaced my standard 12-string set and used two of these Nashville sets thinking I’d get the Hey You tuning; but watching your video, I guess I should’ve left the higher string of the 6th string pair/ course (from the 12 string set) behind, since it seems like the 6th string course is still an octave apart rather than unison. Is my understanding of this correct, or are you saying that the 6th string courses are in unison, just like the 1st string? Thanks for your great instructional.
Yeah the first and 6th strings are both identical, so in your case both 10s. The rest ofvyour set you would use as normal
Thanks for the instructional- I watched your video and played a cover version/ interpretation that is on my channel at the following link: ua-cam.com/video/-Li25ZZbEfg/v-deo.html

Fabulous.....post the tuning please

tone Standard?
Any changes to truss rod or setup if using this tuning on a 6-string?
I didn't
Thanks. It is so helpful. Reza from Iran. I like electric guitar but it s so expensive

Yes exactly. The low e string is replaced with a high e string and tuned to high e.
It’s not.
You can DO it, but that’s not Nashville tuning.
@Ira88881 but that is how Hey You is tuned
Boa noite.
Que afinacao está esse violão?
Afinação de oitavas de um violão 12 cordas, ou seja, imagina um violão de 12 cordas sem as cordas normais ficando apenas as cordas oitavadas. Essa afinação é chamada de Nashville Tuning ou High Strung .
@@abatista78 obrigado por responder amigo.
❤❤
The low E with Nashville tuning isn’t the same as the high E.
This is still outstanding for this song.
I have both an acoustic and electric strung Nashville, and now I’m very tempted to change the low E on the acoustic to a high E string just to play this song.
I know what you're talking about but I find what you're saying confusing
;)
From 00:00 to 7:20 it’s just blah blah blah . From 7:20 he actually start to play. 🙄
Cool no strings. Lol.
Is there literally on ly one damn song ever written played in this stupid tuning, i thought they were just a different tone (whole a$$ education i got the last few days on NT) but they render a guitar usless for anything but THIS stupid song? Wtf
