Pink Floyd - Another Brick In The Wall, Part 2 (Song with Solo)
This is a great classic and few are unfamiliar with it.
Play the following chord riffs and you'll figure out
where they go in the song because it's obvious. My chord
tab is a basic presentation for the player who wants to
quickly learn to play the song. I doubt that most need
to play five guitar parts or are in bands with five
guitars so I didn't include the recorded layers of
multi-tracked guitars. My solo tab is more detailed.
Throw in some open Dm, F, C and G chords in place of the
same barre chords at your discretion for variation.
Most people want an accurate solo so I've created one.
I scoured the Internet for a perfect solo tab and was
frustrated that one didn't already exist to do this
classic the justice it deserves. Most were close but none
as spot on as I wanted so I spent a few hours painstakingly
creating my own. I modified the two four-fret bends with
easier ways to play the parts that sound the same. A few
parts in the solo are difficult for ears to interpret
because of the poor digital sound quality online and
Gilmour's multi-tracking, effects and distortion, but I
think I've nailed it. Play this solo with the song and I
hope that you'll agree. 2/14/17
