Hey You Acoustic tab by Pink Floyd

Guitar Tab

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

HEY YOU
Written by Roger Waters
Guitar arrangement by David Gilmour

The recording features a variation of Hi-String tuning.

High-strung (Nashville) guitar

 E     A     D     G     B     E
 |     |     |     |
 -one octave higher-
    than standard

This special tuning requires a re-stringing of the guitar with light
gauge strings. The 3rd-string (G) is now the highest pitched and will
need to be 008 or 009.

For this song Gilmour took the idea a little further and replaced the
6th-string with a string tuned two octaves higher than standard.

Now a very simple picking pattern produces the angular melody.
