Default Wish you were here (Pink Floyd) fingerstyle
Hi folks,

this is my simple fingerstyle cover version of "Wish You Were Here", which Roger Water and David Gilmour co-wrote and published in 1975 with Pink Floyd. For me this song is a milestone in modern music history and one of the best songs of all time. I regularly play in different versions and have now recorded a simple fingerstyle arrangement. I hope you like it :-)



Many greetings and have a nice weekend, Jimmy

Lovely. What a beautiful song to find as I have my first cup of coffee!

A truly beautiful rendition that captures the mood of the song perfectly. Your masterful restraint and technical proficiency on display here too. Thanks for sharing, Dan

Sounds great...you were able to capture the feeling of the original while still making it your own.
