[sparks158]

this was so awesome

[jesuschrysler123]

Nice job.

[KillAnth]

just amazing

[Teichirisi]

you failed the last part of time before the breath reprise

[peinethc]

muy bueno che!

[systemF4N]

hey man can you make a video of a lesson

[DsimoPS]

what a big head!

[gregsguitar101]

great stuff man, way to nail the Time intro!!! !

[somethingaboutcookie]

Awesome job, Simon Peg.

[GarrettVan]

This is amazing!

[questorkellia]

Awww i don't often use to let some comment but really ...This is really nice to hear , nice to watch,and really promising i do really hope to watch more of you ;This is a very excelent job you did :)

May i perhaps ask perhaps a zoom with cam on the chord you are doing ;) ? at least much people like me won't have to pull their hair trying to guess the right chords :D

[jawmunji]

@questorkellia Thanks! I've got tabs to an earlier version of Breathe on my website, one day I'll do the rest :)

JAW

[RyanDanielG]

Just found this gem. Surprised I missed it. GREAT job JAW. One day, one day :)

[grantum76]

This is really good!

[aquariussouldier]

Very chilling :) Nice vibes man

[bpvogel]

WOW! I am a big time PF fan. Your Wish You Were Here was the best I ever heard and well... I never heard anyone try to finger pick Time/Breathe and you did a bang up job! Good going keep up the great work!

[jawmunji]

@bpvogel Thanks! Dark Side of the Moon is a long term project of mine...I've been working on and off it for ten years...check back in another ten years I might have made a DSotM fingerstyle DVD with lessons :)

JAW

[maryaport]

Awesome!

Thanks for sharing.

[MarcBeckK]

Do you expect to publish notations for your Time arrangement anytime soon?

[jawmunji]

@MarcBeckK Haven't even started on it, this is a rare one that I actually learnt and play from ear - most of my arrangements are painstakingly and methodically created from slowing down songs, looking at existing tabs...basically cheating :)

The chords are all straight forward - maybe have a try at transcribing what I do? You could send me the tab :)

Thanks,

JAW

[MarcBeckK]

@jawmunji Okay, well if I did that it wouldn't be done before next summer, I ask for it because I'm way to busy to do it my self. So if you haven't done it in a year, I might have haha. Oh and what software do you use for making the notations?

[jawmunji]

@MarcBeckK Ha, yeah, life sure is busy :) No wonder most of my favourite fingerstyle guitarists don't do tabs...and the ones that do charge a fee - because it is so much work!

I use powertab - it's pretty old now, but I know how to use it really well, so I haven't bothered moving to a newer platform. If you are just starting out, I hear that Powertab or Tabledit are both good tab editors.

JAW

[MarcBeckK]

@jawmunji Yea it sure is a lot of work, I haven't yet done any tabs, but I've reworked a lot of tabs because I found them insufficient.

Thanks for the suggestions on software :)

Marc

[Robotfiter17]

U've inspired me to try fingerpicking.I dig the Time. Can you post the tab.

[dindush1]

Absolutely amazing.

I like listening to this every day.

[jawmunji]

@dindush1 Glad to hear you like it! :) Follow the link on my channel to download some mp3s of this - if you search around my mp3s under "scratchy practise" list you'll find an even fuller version of DSotM.

JAW

[cavemanfarts]

Haha I loved the intro to time as well!!1 Very innovative. Congrats man.

[fr06floyd]

love the intro of "Time" !!

[jawmunji]

@fr06floyd Thanks, I need to re-record it, I've improved it and the slapping didn't come through all that well. I'm really happy with the way this arrangement came out, the challenge is going to be doing the solo in Time! :)

[begbehr]

heh i can do this with ease, lol no i can't. SOUNDS INSANE DUDE

[hyperboreal]

Sweet arrangement man, I love the way you interpreted the 'Time' part. Who said it couldn't be done on solo guitar? You got into the mood of the album perfectly. Thumbs pointing to that moon!

[jawmunji]

@hyperboreal Thanks man! It's come along some more since I did that video; if I was to post a new video every time I made a bit more progress everyone would get bored pretty quick :) I'm getting a good feel into "Us and Them" too, but "Money" is just not working out. I'm sure I'll get there in the end though.

JAW

[emoraz]

Really beautiful.

Blessings.

Eddie.

[ScalerWave]

Excellent job !

Very nice recording quality

[guitarquejamais]

very nice sound and arrangement

[monteith420]

dude, this is monneeyyyyyyyyyyyyy, i dont no how u figured out great gig in the sky but bravo, im having a hard enought time on piano with it, but great work

[danielweber2009]

Damnit that was beautiful..

[2fast4cash]

i really enjoy listening and watching you play the guitar, Pink Floyd is my favorite band do. I just started playing the guitar my self and i wanted to ask you for some tips on guitar playing if you could.

[jawmunji]

@2fast4cash Hey 2F4C, glad you like my stuff. I listened to a lot of Floyd in my twenties, and never got over it ;)

For tips, follow the links on my channel to my blog - aside all the ranting and raving you may glean some pearls of wisdom!

JAW

[begbehr]

do you always make love to your guitar like this lol, this is crazy.

[iamax3]

really good

[limatedman]

This is brilliant. I listen to your version at least once a day.

[jawmunji]

Thanks! Head over to my blog, my last entry has an mp3 of a dodgy recording I made more recently - it's a bit more evolved, but I've got a few years to go before this really rocks :)

Thanks!

JAW

[Sebisab]

Amazing ....

[1949bug]

simply amazing, love the effect at 3 mins on so simple but it works.

Totally in awe of this!

[Aypz]

This is incredible man, keep up the good work!

[BRUCOQUET]

Incredible !!

[BRUCOQUET]

I love that ! Nice work and thank's to share it.

Bruno (France)

[ratemyshi92]

Time is mos def my favourite part of this one, this is fcking FantasticccccK JAW

[perritoRocker]

fuck maaaaan!!! ... you are really so fuckin' amazing! ... where did you learn this ... do you have the tabs or something like that?

[Robcarrijo]

FANTASTIC!!!

[Robcarrijo]

FANTÁSTIC !!! OK !!!

[1990RocK1990]

wow,just amazing!

I'm a big fan of Floyd and this is just amazing!, really good work.!

[likearollinstone85]

Very well done!!!

[FoozzyTheCarManiac]

Dude this is beautiful, I love Pink Floyd so much and this just encapsulates the mood of the songs brilliantly, thanks heaps that was the best 10 minutes of my day!

[jawmunji]

Heh, glad you enjoyed it. I've cleaned up the "Time" section a bit, it is really starting to rock now. I'll post another video of it, one day! :)

JAW

[wazzupcrap]

Amazing work, well done. :)

[fostersdomain]

Very inspiring- Many thanks for sharing!

[yorkezeppelin]

Waiting for the tab :)

"time" tab at least :)

thank you very much, its great !!

[jawmunji]

Ha, no plans to do it yet, there are many things I want to polish up. "Time" is straight forward on the left hand, all the tough stuff is in the right hand which doesn't tab well. Technique, technique, technique ;) chords are Fm-A-E for the verse, Dmaj-Amaj-DmajC# bass-Bm-E for the chorus.

[WBluelip]

Very ambitious effort but man that was great!!

[WormOfTheWorld]

ooooooohhh, what a GREAT way to do Time. Thanks for posting this. Work in progress or not I'm already all hyped up about doing Time on the acoustic. Been learning your version of Blue Sky/Anybody Out There, which is really good too. If you ever get more time for Time, and can tab it out, that would be wonderful. But, your video is clear enough that it may not be necessary. Thanks again JAW

[avetis22]

this is really cool man thanks for making this

[orbasang]

u look old alot more . i just feel how fast de time past.

[jawmunji]

"Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time...". Nah, I'm still on the right side of forty, just the moustache makes me look old. It's gone now ;)

[orbasang]

time really flies.

[jayjaygibbs]

I like your stuff, I'm now going to subscribe!!

[Coldfire6699]

Great job! Man that time section is seriously groovy as hell

[krazyal64]

Nicely done!

[braindamage70]

Beautiful!! I think you may be classical trained and while I prefer strumming and singing yours is a beautiful rendition of the greatest music ever made. I too am a Pink Floyd nut and I like the passion you put into your music. Keep it up bud.

[JCMovies]

great rendition.  love it

[maggiesband]

Great cover of the classics. Sound is not bad at all! 5*

[joliroi]

this is brillant

[WalbertJr]

Huh! You are your own worst critic!

I, on the other hand, think you're GREAT and after writing this I'll pick up my guitar.

Thanks for the inspiration and keep it coming.......

[MattkNT]

Very nice!!

[jamfen]

excellent stuff 5*...i thought we were gettin the whole album there ;) .. i see your hair is migrating lol

[triggz75]

DECENT EFFORT??? come on ziggy its brillant..FACT.

[SiggyMe]

Decent effort, at least puts it into the ballpark. Thanks for your effort!

[xclsaga]

Not bad! Imo, your other cover of Breathe is better, though this is not bad.

I love the originality of the intro you've done with Time.

Keep the Pink Floyd coming! Can't play at the moment, so I have to listen to others play to get my daily fix.

[jawmunji]

My other Breathe was on steel which suits Floyd, and I wound up the reverb to get "the sound". However, I like to think the arrangement has improved...there are more things I will do with it yet. I also like to get a bit heavier into it for the reprise, I enjoy that part.

Thanks!

JAW

[DeathsWish3]

This is amazing... I love how you've done Time.

I grew up with Pink Floyd, especially Dark Side of The Moon, and now I dabble in fingerstyle guitar, so the interest is great to me. Keep working on this, I think you'll find many people like it

[jawmunji]

Yep, I was a Floyd nut in my twenties. I was a bit annoyed the drumming part didn't come through the pickup very well, I've been having issues with the guitar. My own fault though, I've been fiddling with it ;)

yep, DSotM wi'll continue, it needs to be fingerstyled!

Thanks,

JAW

[sandrotmax]

Jaw fantastic very good

[chris69666]

What guitar is this? It looks suspiciously like mine.

[TotalDaneben]

you definitely are too humble. who cares about a few mistakes if the overall arrangement you created is as great as this?

[Loanwolfz]

Love it dude thanks

[LedZeppelin7104]

Great work as usual JAW. Keep the videos coming.

[greenlentils]

What do you mean "Strictly for the pink floyd fans"? You mean that non-fans may not watch it till the end?!? I hardly know the song and I did! (well, almost). I think it's great!

Roman Age

[jawmunji]

Ha, hey Roman ;) It's true, I figure that only diehard fans who know these songs like the back of their hands would appreciate what I've done here. Maybe I'll open that opinion up to include people who like fingerstyle arrangements as well ;)

JAW

[brettis87]

Love it Jaw......im going to have to try something similar now. how do you get such a good sound from your guitar on the vids?

[SneakySolidSnake]

see that cord at the base of the guitar, that is an electric out for it. my guess would be it goes strait into his computer. but i'll leave the official answer to the great Jaws of life.

[jawmunji]

Correct SSS, straight into the laptop. I was in a hurry and didn't add any reverb, I reckon some post processing reverb would be nice...or even better if I had have gone through my reverb pedal. But then you really need to have headphones so you "are playing into the sound". This was just a rough, raw catch and it will be much better in a year or two, but I figure I wouldn't wait that long, was interested in some feedback. Brett - check my FAQ for info about sound.

JAW

[TK42138]

Great rendition. Now finding myself singing along to it. Brilliant.

[mafew129]

indreditble! a floyd fix for the true fanatic.

[jawmunji]

The more I look into DSotM the more I see the recurring sounds and themes and it's really bringing it all together. I reckon Rick has been very much underated, the wonderful tonality and harmonies are very his style, it is really the footing, the foundation of DSotM.

Good stuff! :)

JAW

[mafew129]

i guess thats why they call it a concept record :o

[jawmunji]

Heh, yep, and one of the reasons why I've taken it on :)

JAW

[17erstad]

Haha, love the "On the Run" tapping! You are a true Floydian!

[17erstad]

Amazing arrangement and beautifully executed! Bravo!

[bugabutu]

what happend to naudo jaw?

[longliveguitar]

nice and chill..i like it

[Sykario420]

Beautiful as always...  never stop!!

[Sergiojcm]

Awesome Jaw!!!... When I grow up I wanna play the guitar like you...

[dakidbeta]

you r my favorite you tube subscription/acoustic player.......i like the vein n guitar faces you make when you play your amazing jams...........

[ratemyshi92]

WOW you finally got this up here.  I's BLOWN AWAY!! this is amazing this is by far your best video, you played something that has the style of so many other amazing players and made that style your own. fantastic!!

[jawmunji]

Ha, thanks, I detect you may be a Floyd fan ;) Nah, it's rough as guts at the moment, but the concepts are in place, just needs the final details fleshed out. At least I'm half way through the whole album :) It will be a good day when I can play whole of DSotM go to whoa.

JAW

[acousticanaetati]

wow that's pretty awesome Jaw!

that percursive part is so cool!!!

[jawmunji]

Thanks AG! After I played back the percussive bit I realised I had the condensor mic a bit low... oh well. The trick with that part is to let the bass note ring, but mute the other strings so they don't sympathetically sound while you are drumming - haven't quite mastered it yet.

JAW

[ShrimpFred]

JAW yet another beautiful arrangement. Your channel has inspired me from playing a few chords to playing the canon for a mate's wedding in under a year. Thanks for giving up your shaving time to post another vid:{)

[jawmunji]

Glad to hear I'm helping. Good skill with Canon, you know, I still haven't got it fully memorised - shhh, don't tell anyone ;)

JAW

[Henders100]

That is awesome.

How do you get that sound when you slap the bridge? I have tried to replicate it with no joy.

[jawmunji]

It's just a timing thing, basically slap bass style. You flick on *and* pull away quick so you don't mute the string. Strike with the bony side of your thumb knuckle. Getting the right sound will come, it's fairly tricky on acoustic, you can go too hard or too soft, you probably noticed I wasn't that consistent in the song, I still haven't totally mastered it myself.

JAW

[justone18]

really impressive

[sairro]

As your style developed reminds me to Naudo ... you're getting quite near to his level ;-)

[jawmunji]

Naudo is still my guitar hero, so it's not suprising if I'm starting to sound like him. I've got a looong way to go, if ever, to have his finesse. The last 20% is usually 80% of the work! ;)

Thanks!

JAW

[dhimmiwit]

Beautiful XX

[cossatotfalls]

AMAZING!!! One of the only covers out there actually worth watching! You are very good, you tabbed that by ear... Truly amazing, you have a musical talent.

[soadfan997]

AMAZING!! i wish i started playing classical/finger style im pretty good at stuff like this but i wish i was as good as you but im 14 haha

your amazing!

[uncleparsnip]

nice one jaw. some good stuff there.

would you mind if I steal what you have done and work on it myself using what you have done so far as a guide?

if you want to keep this for yourself then thats fine.....there's plenty more songs in the sea

[jawmunji]

Go for it uP, it would be good to see where you take it - which bit did you like?

My playing was awful, so many rookie mistakes that I should be well passed. But I wasn't going to play it again ;)

The good part is that every time I play it it's different, and there are no tabs, which means I'm actually being a musician - I know the chords and the phrases, and semi-improvise my way through, as opposed to my normal programmed robotic playing.

Now I just need to smooth it out!

JAW

[uncleparsnip]

I liked the whole arrangement jaw. Iv'e just watched it again and its still good.

I have redone great gig in the sky - and I have transposed it down by 3 semi-tones so that the vocal section is in Em instead of Gm. It makes it much easier to play.

I will upload it when i have the time...hopefully next week.

Glad to see that you have started to improvise a bit - makes it much more fun i think.....like you say, its slightly different every time you play and it takes more concentration

[jawmunji]

I had a go at aiming for Em/Am for the vocal section, but I was never satisfied with the resolves for the rest of the song. I look forward to hearing your newie.

I've been playing Time/Breathe Reprise a lot recently, I'm really enjoying it, and doing some different stuff with it each time around - I reckon you'd knock it out in no time.

Good to hear from you uP.

JAW

[DJReiko]

I knew that keeping you in my subscriptions, despite your inactivity would eventually pay off. Well done, man!

[c5jota]

The introduction of "Time" was amazing!!

Great Job!!! 5*

[JMDenver]

Love this! Was wondering what happened to you...no I see you we were working on an epic piece. 5* 's

[jawmunji]

I've got a few others I should do, everything is a bit rough and unpolished at the moment. Work, family and I'm halfway through moving house, no time.

I've already done Brain Damage and Eclipse, they are heaps better now too, and I have the framework for Us and Them, just need to get something for Money, think I will copy from Igor he did a great version.

Thanks!

JAW

[stefansoegaard]

Thats great. Love how you played the vocals in Great Gig in the Sky. Hope you are gonna play the whole Dark Side of the Moon.

[jawmunji]

I've got a lot more to do with the vocals in GGitS, what I played here was just the start of it, to see if it was possible. The only songs I haven't played with from DSotM is Money and Any Colour you like - everything else I can play to some extent*

Thanks!

JAW

* some not good enough to record yet ;)

[coddlinghimmler]

almost didn't recognize you great job tho fumbles and all

[jawmunji]

Thanks :) I played this once, and I was about 30 seconds from the end (after 12 minutes of playing) and my daughter ran up to me "daddy! daddy! daddy!" and I had to stop. I wasn't particularly happy...then I played it all again for another 12 mins, not quite as well - which is what we have here.

Wasn't going so much for perfection as for just what I'm up to. There is a lot of side A still unwritten as you can probably tell ;)

JAW

[bKimmen]

Wow, very well played! I was actually wondering few days ago when you were going to upload a new video and here it is.

[lightsculler]

Nice idea my friend. I like it. I've been playing your 'Breathe' compilation for over a year now. Love it.

[jawmunji]

Did you like the few changes I made to Breathe? There is still a few more things I'd like to do on the bassline to imitate Roger's work a bit more. The original version I made was just a simple alternating bass, I've moved on a bit from there :)

Thanks!

JAW

[lightsculler]

Yeah, the changes were unexpected but very much welcome. Added another level of complexity to the score. Keep it up.

[BretMicheals2002tour]

awesome job,,,,,,,,,,great choices

[gambledaniel]

Yay finally a new song :D

[Mkalola]

Nice, you've grown a beard :D

Sweet playing. You play so smooth, and no mistakes.. Keep it up, 5* ;)

[jikvig]

Great as always!

Despite the long title :-)
