Me playing "The Violent Sequence" by pink floyd

[GilmourWaters91]

I wish I could play this on piano. I would play it for the talent show at school.

[3426134261]

hi ive also been trying to play this by ear and know most of it but i cant workout the keys you play from around 30 seconds onwards. the sweet sounding bit. i think its around 3 chords im missing. if you could help thatd be great.

[3426134261]

matt, ive been trying to work out this song by ear also but im having a bit of trouble with the really sweet bit from around 30 seconds onwards. 3 chords i think your playing but i cannot make them out from the vid.. the rest seems pretty straightforward but itd be good to know that particular bit. thanks

[matthehat]

The chords for the "forward he cried" section (in this case) are:

Cm

Cm/Bb Cm/Ab Db major

So you play the C minor chord with a standard C in the bass, then play the C minor chord with the Bb in the bass follwed by a Cm chord with the Ab in the bass, followed by a Db major chord.

I'll see if i can post a tutorial vid when i get the chance

[3426134261]

thanks so much. means a lot. learning the rest now. cheers

[thedrownedworld]

@matthehat Hi there, always loved this piece.. well worked out. If you find the time please make a short tutorial, I have been trying to play it but cant get very far...

thanks

p.s. RIP Wright

[BrokenChair88]

Pink Floyd wrote "Dogs".

[HookedOnSonics518]

Thanks for playing this. I watched the making of this album on "Classic Albums", and was sad that they left this song off the "Zabriskie Point" soundtrack. You're a good musician!

[Navohk]

Hey im done using My sisyers account Dinosour132 i got a new one if u wanna lookat my page that'd be kool and im gettin a video camera for christmas ill have a vid or 2 see ya later bye.

[dinosour132]

Thank you. Do you think you might make more floyd songs? If you want some insperation look up pink floyd on piano on youtube. Theres alot i watched and i came to this video.

[dinosour132]

hey that was my bro but u are good

[dinosour132]

Hey. You're really good do u think i could get this on guitar? lol i play lots of Floyd on guitar but im nervouse to put it on youtube. But i want people to see me play as good as you.( but in guitar of course)

[matthehat]

Youtube is a great place to play, and if you're just new people give you encouragement. This is realy a piano piece, but you could try adapting it for guitar. it's in Eb Major, or D if you want to step it down

[dinosour132]

Please make more!!!!songs tha is.

[sspoonbeam]

I thought this said you were playing the violin at first.

[red5678]

Excellent!

Heres to you Wright! (Raising my glass)

[darksideofthemoo]

That's the one thing I hate about DSOTM. They replaced this with Us & Them and The Travel Sequence with On The Run. I like the originals better.

[matthehat]

As much as I like The Travel Sequence, I much prefer On the Run, simply because it was so new and exciting at the time. It's one of those albums that every song has to be there, or so I feel.

[darksideofthemoo]

I see what you mean. I just think that The Travel Sequence has a bit more going on.

[dinosour132]

you do a really great job on this. I wonder if i could play a bit of this on my guitar? But anyway I love this song and u r really good. play more!!

[dinosour132]

I'm a great fan of floyd. I hope they make more albums and your a new rick wright. Keep playing Them Floyd songs!!

[VitorMelow]

Could you please post the music sheet download by rapidshare or something? I would be very greatful.

[matthehat]

I don't use sheet music, and I don't have ti to share. It's easy to learn by ear, honestly.

[BrokenChair88]

Sounds like "Us and Them"

[matthehat]

That's because Us and Them was derived from this, have you read the blurb?

[noveleiro]

Broken Chair is annoying.

Anyway, great version! Love the sequence, i think is more beautiful than Us and Them.

[lakewrestler08]

i watched it twice man. i enjoyed it. i cant believe Antonioni didnt like it "Tis beautiful but it is a too sad. it makes me think of church.."

[royaltenenbaum23]

Nice, loved the clip of Rick Wright's early version played in the classic album profile of DSOTM.

[Mickdog2112]

This song is excellent. From Zabriskie. Just love it.... nice. Another good one is Intermezzo.

[ettbord]

wow, I wish I could play like that. Hey by the way do know where I can find that demo of this song you where talking about in the in some post?

[matthehat]

I'm sorry, the website I got it off was shut down last week by David Gilmour's management for allowing Bootleg trade. All I can suggest is trying P2P networks...

[veryforeign]

very good!

[subwoofer1975]

excelente my friend very good, im a pink floyd lover greetings from chile i like this version take care

[antvaillancourt]

great, i think played that way it can bring something that us and them doesnt. its a hard to find track like many other excellent rare floyd songs

[crestone37]

Quite lovely...Antonioni and Pink Floyd....genius...

[vardocrux]

but antonioni rejected the song... more info in classic albums the making of the dark side of the mmon

[hollowsephiroth]

"it's good, but it's a bit to sad. It reminds me of church."

Antioni.

[misterwho]

Felicitaciones!... es muy bueno. Me encanta esa versión de "Us and them" que nunca fue.

Muy groso :)

[DC180]

man i loved that...  i aim someday to play that.... awesome floyd track.. love that piano sound.

[Entwistle905]

That was good, I have the audio recording of the studio version of The Violent Sequence also I've heard there are jams or it as a 20~ minute jam but still okay.

[matthehat]

It is true that the studio version is longer, and the pattern is slightly more irregular, but I find that when playing this piece myself, this pattern suits me fine

[Entwistle905]

untrue I have the studio version, possibly a demo cut it ran for 6'02 on a Bootleg with an Ex- Super Quality and live versions are longer

[matthehat]

I apologise for my lack of clarity. I do have a copy of the bootleg track, and you are right, it is 6'02. What I meant was my version (above) is shorter than the studio bootleg track. Sorry for the mix up! Incidently, It was a demo, intended for the film "zabriskie point". The director turned it down, claiming it was too sad.
