This is the from the first part of the Live In Pompeii video but it works with the CD version. Listen to either for the timing. The tuning of the guitar is a half step up on the video I think unlike the standard tuning on the CD. Im' not sure how David Gilmour produces the sound he does on the intro for the Pompeii version. I know he right-hand slides in the very beginning and just regularly plays on the guitar intro, but you got me how he makes the sound he does. Maybe he just turns the amp up REAL loud. Only thing i can think of.... Any problems or corrections with it please e-mail me.

NOTE: The tablature throughout this is rough but workable. I don't play exactly like David Gilmour but it's all very, very close. Work with it, and make your own interpretations. The reason I love this song so much is that you can take it anywhere you feel like going. This is a great song to just improvise on. Also, I play the solo and "lead" parts with a blues-like distortion, while the rest with chorus and compression.

ECHOES by PINK FLOYD from the album MEDDLE
ALBUM VERSION (very different from Live at Pompeii)
Tab is original work by Skånskpiraten(NoodlesSE) unless otherwise credited. Version 1 (22-8-14).
Bars do not denote timing of beat but are just shown for legibility and dividing small sections for learning.
If any confusion please comment and I'll do my best to clear it up. You really have to listen to the song and know it well to get the timing right.
