It came at a real interesting time in the floyds catalogue

Meddle has evolved into my favorite PF album and this tune is among my favorites. Great lesson. Thank you!

Just now discovering the splendors of Open G and I discover this song (my favorite song of all times) is played in Open G. Today was a good day.

MT is master guitar player and a talented teacher, highly regarded by those who know him, but those who don't are really missing out. Pink Floyd Friday has become a tradition and for that I thank you. Just keep guiding us on that journey. Hope to see more of your tutorials.

Self-taught guitar player here... Thank you for the simplicity for a beginner/raw intermediate like me. I'm learning this for my friend in whom I will not see for a very long time. It's our song, so it'll be a great, climatic reunion. Such a simple, beautiful song that you can toy around with and make into a challenge! Love your attitude, thanks a ton.

​@@MTGuitarGot an update for you... Still one of the easiest and funnest songs to play! It's nice having the freedom to get creative with the fills. My friend enjoyed it; it was a very bittersweet moment... In short: thanks, you're awesome, and you made my year just that much better.

I used to start my busking set with this tune....I did it all in standard tuning... I love the harmonic structure and the lyrics...the musical interlude is mystical... Meddle was my introduction to the Floyd... Thanks so much for this...🎸🤙🎼🎵🎶

I had been listening to PF for years before I ever heard this song. When I was in high school, the local rock station used to have an hour long segment every monday night at 10 pm called "Think Pink" where they played all kinds of PF deep cuts. They played Fearless one night and I was hooked. This was before the days of youtube or spotify so it took me quite some time to figure out the song title and what album it was from.

Great lesson for a great tune. Subscribed 😊

Hands down the best Fearless tutorial I've seen. Thank you for this!

You pick great songs. Thank you!

Oh my God I cannot say thank you enough for this incredible Pink Floyd tune. I love it. This is a great one. Seeing the tribute band BRIT FLOYD play it live was absolutely amazing. Thank you thank you. Thank you.❤❤👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🙏🙏🎸🎸

They are astonishing ! check out some of their videos on KZread. Brit Floyd and the light show they put on are absolutely jaw-dropping. It’s a full body experience. It’s not just a concert. It is an experience.

Love Fearless! Thanks Mitchell!

Wonderful tutorial, loved the history of the song as well!

One of the greatest songs and lessons ever. Ty.

I’ve been soaking up all your PFF series vids…they are all excellent. You are so fun to watch and listen to…I love the history and music theory lessons (fascinating stuff!!) as well as the song lesson. This one is surprisingly easy to play!! Thanks

One of my favourite Floyd tracks, way too underated. Great job!

I appreciate all your videos, thanks brother 🎸

First video I've seen from you and I really like it. Subscribed. Perfect formatting, and the timestamps for each section is so helpful. You clearly have a great ear and you spend time talking about the theory/structure instead of just dictating what fingers go on what frets like so many others do. I've been working out a version of this in standard tuning, with the capo on the third fret, based around an E shape. Your lesson helped me confirm that I was hearing the riff correctly and helped me figure out how to play the bit at the end with the C sliding to Dadd4. Thanks!

That's great to hear thank you! Very encouraging. Ah nice, that sounds like a good idea regarding the standard tuning and capo, always a fan of making an open tuning song your own in standard. Thanks

Thank you so much, well explained. Love this song

Brilliant. Will learn this one soon. All that is missing from your excellent tutorial is" You'll Never Walk Alone " in the background. 👏 👏

Great intro. needed this on a few levels. Thx.

Awesome. Thanks!

Fantastic job, nailed it!

Awesome lesson, thank you.

Tuning the Low E up to a G is scary. I sussed this song out over 45 years ago, decades before there was an Internet. I first learned it in standard tuning. Then it dawned on me to tune to Open G.

Great lesson an explanation. Thanks!

Your attack is always on point. Great touch

Very nice man, love it, especially singing is on point

Thank You Mitch!

Thank you

At 19:35 we build up a momentum…..to go to the riff!!! 😂 …that part pleases me so much 😍 ❤️ 12:00

Thanks for breaking down the open tuning. I have a gretsch jim dandy that I think might get tuned to G very soon. Might use an A for the lowest string and tune it down. I forced myself to learn this in standard tuning. I can get the point across but it's not the same. I'm going to try open tuning. Great lesson!!

Thank you!

You’re a wonderful teacher.

Probably my favorite Pink Floyd song on acoustic guitar. That open G tuning fits it perfectly. I actually replaced my low E sting with a lighter gauge string to accommodate that Sid Barrett G tuning.

Wow thanks! Meddle is legendary

i haven't started playing guitar, but i have been saving up for it, i'll have one soon💥💥💥

Grazie grazie grazie! Era tanto tempo che volevo provare a suonare questo pazzo favoloso! Avevo abbandonato la chitarra da oltre 15 anni ed ora con tanto "sudore" e affaticando le orecchie dei miei familiari voglio ricominciare a divertirmi.

The hardest thing about the song is the timing of the riff. (I've played this song in a jam and everyone is all over the place.) To most people, it feels/sounds like it comes in late.....so teaching people the chords and blocks might not help with the timing. The song eventually "catches up" to the downbeat on the 1 on C to D part before the singing starts. Perhaps many of us are "hearing it wrong" but it is what it is.

Oh my god!! Thank you! Summer 68 next please!!

Just to say thank you, always wanted to play this song. :)

thanks, i knew my low E wasn't sounding right, it is definetly tuned up to a g

deserves more likes, awesome.

finally , someone gets the lyrics right. Oh! so close, just heard treetops instead of tree lines but overall real good playthrough and lesson. thank you.

Pink Floyd dedicated this song to its famous DJ Friend John Peel who was an avid Liverpool fan. He pioneered Pink Floyd and many happening bands and artists in the 60's and 70's.

Merci !!!

Thank you a lot, I ve played this beautiful song with a normal tuning before... it s really better that way👍 I ve played and busking in Europe between 1998 and 2010... I ve made a break for 12 years and forget many things... I play again now from 1 year and I discover lot of songs with internet... before the net, I cross other guitarists on my path and we share some chords of classic rock pieces... now I choose a song and go on the net and often to learn better way to play.... story of life 😂

Pretty sure the D add4 is correct, because you can play around with that High D in both the D and C chord.

You are huge!

Great choice of Fearless for a tutorial video, Mitchell. It's been one of my Floyd favorites since I purchased my copy of Meddle in 1972. Wasn't the Liverpool anthem adopted after the team heard the version by Gerry & the Pacemakers, who happened to be from Liverpool?

What about tuning the low E down to G instead of up to G?

I’m going to have a to buy another guitar just play this song.

Please, I try to understand, english is not my language and I don't really get it. Is GGDGBB the tuning Roger Waters used to compose, using one Syd Barrett tuning) while David Gilmour used GGDGBD to record the song ? Also could you tell what other songs in that style either Pink Floyd or Barrett, or any good songwriter can be played with that tuning, in order to keep the tuning for a while, or maybe think about using a dedicated guitar when I can (with best strings and setting) ?

Damn, you lost my interest when you started with the "down, up" strumming pattern. That's a groove killer. Let beginners find the strumming pattern by themselves. Just show the chord voicings. Hold the phone. You quickly got beyond it.

Safest thing to do for your guitar's sake is buy an extra set of strings and double up the A and B strings

Is that a 710CE...?
