  6. A favourite song of mine since I began listening to Pink Floyd 25 years ago…! And a top quality tutorial, as I’ve come to expect from you Elijah – thank you once again.

    Can you please explain how you came to the conclusion that this piece is in D minor?

    • Hey Patrick,

      Really glad you’re enjoying our tutorial and that we got to cover one of your all time favorite songs πŸ™‚

      There’s indeed A LOT of modulation in this track and I referenced D minor as the key since it’s in that key that we play the most part of the song (the sections where Clare Torry is singing) but as you figured we do go in and out of that key but I didn’t want to focus on that too much during the tutorial.

      Cheers,
      Elijah
