Thank you - very glad you enjoyed. Shane

i went through a bunch of "How to Play Mother" videos and none of them explained the rythm pattern in any useful way until I found this one. Thank you Shane.

Thank you. This is the best explanation of the rhythm patterns for Mother by far.

I could never get that pattern down...now that I've seen your lesson, how you divide the number of beats in accordance with the accenting, I actually stand a chance...you are a great teacher, more power to you

Best explanation ever. First I thought this song might be easy, tried by myself, went almost crazy by trying to find the right rhythm pattern… Now I saw your video and finally it became easy.

Subscribed, thank you for the clear tutorial. Best one I’ve seen on this beautiful song.

Part of the joy of figuring out a song is playing it how it sounds good to you. You don’t have to match it note for note,or beat for beat

Excellent explanation on counting out the rhythm.

Thanks for explaining things so well. I like your approach. Easy to understand

Absolutely the best tutorial on this song.

Most songs sound unique because the timing, but most don't actually play it right nor explain it well. Thanks so much for this!!

Timeless and timely. Thank you Shane.

Great tutorial Shane. I've been a Floyd fan for as long as I can remember and love this song. l decided to teach myself acoustic guitar 18 months ago, and thanks to your excellent lesson I have added this classic to my slowly expanding kitbag. Cheers from Oz.

awesome lesson! pink floyd was my second obsession (stones, then floyd, then zeppelin) the solo from this song is heart-wrenching. just about half a minute, but it was the first electric solo i learned note for note, tone, feel, and all. I HAD to learn it. I felt 30 seconds of raw emotion that echoed in my head and begged to be played was worth the effort. my weakness is rhythm playing. my strum pattern is predictable. thanks for posting. must say, although I find myself searching out rare live zeppelin often, floyd have the most moving solos...Time, Mother, the opening to Coming Back to Life, Shine on You Crazy Diamond, Have A Cigar (that bit at the very end where it whooshes down to sound like its coming from a small radio gets me every time...and I hate when radio stations cut it)

Great explanation of the time! Thanks, Shane!!

Excellent tutorial on what is indeed a difficult pattern albeit fairly simple chord progression. Question- I’ve seen Roger play this a few times and he adds the G (low E string 3rd fret) to the C chord and gives it a fuller sound.. Thoughts? Thanks again for an excellent lesson on this wonderful PF song.

Just wait til you start adding the hammer on in there. Getting those to sound right takes some serious focus. Especially when waters is singing the second part, "Mother should I run for president"...

Thank you for all this great work! Just one thing, why should the second measure in the verse be 3/8? It fits well and grooves in 4/4 when the rhythm section comes in.

@mikehastings5809

5 жыл бұрын

As a drummer I would count it as 4/4 through the verse all except for the first two times "mother do ya think" which are the 5/8 as you mentioned. And then 1 measure of 6/8 for "..ah mother should I build a - wall.. kind of foreshadows the chorus which I count 6/8 starting at "cry" and with one longer 6/9 for ending of measure with "cozy and warm" = 7 8 9. A different approach.. it locks in with the back beat.

Dude, you keep referring to tablature sheets that you've written. Where do I find them? I just found you when I was trying to find a better strumming pattern and chord fingering for Wheat Kings and I like your teaching style. Quick and to the point, but explaining everything to a T. Do you have a website. Can you not advertise it on KZread?

It's hard to see when you keep a constant in your strumming to hold the rhythm. I struggle so bad with strum patterns too. Gotta listen for the low or high notes coming first with each strum. Sounds good in theory but the skill eludes me still haha

I'm not a big fan of strumming / campfire lessons
