Rockschool Electric Debut
Another Brick In The Wall
Originally by Pink Floyd
About the song
From Pink Floyd's 1979 album The Wall. David Gilmour's guitar part sits over a disco-influenced groove, and the choir of Islington Green School pupils sang the famous chorus — most of them had no idea the record would go to number one.

How to practise it
- The riff is all about tight, even quavers — practise with a metronome at 80bpm first.
- Mute unwanted strings with the side of your fretting hand.
- Keep the groove laid back; don't rush into the chorus.
