Hi Neil

I was looking at the target student reviews and after watching Vanessa play brain damage I decided to go to your lesson and learn it, however. Your lesson seems to have the last part missing. The part that is missing on the PDF starts with .
And all that you touch, and all that you feel, etc, etc, etc.
This section has a different picking pattern which needs explaining.
MY question is.
Are you going to add that section or do you have a reason why you left it out.

The part you are talking about is actually the next song, Eclipse, the finale to the album. There really is not much picking other than Gilmour's arpeggios on the electric guitar. The rhythm part would be a simple 6/4 strumming pattern over the 4 chords, ending on D. No real plan to add that as there is not enough there from a learning perspective.

Hi Dancer,

I indeed played 'Eclipse' attached to Brain Damage (I played it quite improvised, can't believe I actually tried :S , haha!), because Pink Floyd does that too. To me it feels like óne song, actually all the songs on the Dark Side of the Moon-album fade into each other (not sure how to say in english). I guess that's the reason why Neil didn't put it up in the Brain Damage-lesson, since it's a different song.

But I agree, I would love to see a lesson for 'Eclipse' as well!! :)

cheers

Vanessa

Edit: Oops, typing at the same time as Neil. :S

I play Brain Damage and Eclipse together too... but Neil is right, there's nothing there for a lesson really.
Dancer, you'd easily wing it if you've got Brain Damage down.

Brain Damage appears as the second to last song in the series and flows
seamlessly into the finale, Eclipse. This pair of songs is rarely heard separately
and seems really like one piece.

Brain Damage mastered.

And now I am going to give Eclipse my full attention

Dain Bramage is a great tune. (Nope, not a spelling error...LOL)
Love to see a vid when you get them ready.
