More about this title

About the Artist: Pink Floyd

Pink Floyd emerged from the British psychedelic rock scene in the mid-1960s and became one of rock music's most influential and ambitious bands. Known for their sophisticated songwriting, innovative studio production, and conceptual albums, Pink Floyd created some of the most recognizable and technically demanding music in rock history. Their work has inspired generations of musicians across genres and remains a staple in guitar education for its blend of melodic invention, rhythmic complexity, and emotional impact.

Why we love this

Run Like Hell is a masterclass in guitar-driven rock energy, with a propulsive bassline that translates beautifully to TAB and a main riff that rewards precision and stamina. The song's driving rhythm and accessible yet distinctive melodic content make it an ideal choice for guitarists who want to play something instantly recognizable while building real technical chops. It's the kind of track that sounds impressive from the first successful playthrough.

What to expect

Driving and propulsive, with a relentless energy that pulls you forward. The riff has a mechanical precision that never feels rigid, there's swagger underneath the structure, making it instantly satisfying to play once your fingers find the groove.

Who it's for

This TAB is ideal for intermediate and advancing guitarists who want to expand their rock repertoire with a song that balances technical challenge and musical payoff. It appeals to players drawn to classic rock and psychedelic rock influences, as well as those building confidence with syncopated rhythms and extended passages.

How to get the most out of it

  • Lock into the rhythm section's pocket before adding any dynamics; this riff lives on precision timing, not speed.
  • Experiment with the pick attack to find the aggressive edge the original recording has, a firmer downstroke will capture the song's urgency.
  • Use the recorded version as a reference for phrasing and dynamics; Pink Floyd's production shapes the riff as much as the notes themselves.

How to use it

Feature this as a standalone showcase piece in a rock or contemporary guitar recital, or pair it with other classic rock essentials to program a themed performance. It works well as a mid-program energy spike, offering audiences a familiar favorite that demonstrates serious playing skill.

Skills your students will build

  • Maintaining steady tempo in syncopated rhythmic patterns
  • Articulating a signature riff with precision and consistency
  • Balancing dynamics across contrasting song sections
  • Reading and executing TAB notation accurately at performance tempo
