How to Play Stem Chords on Your Guitar – A Pink Floyd Song

This article will show you how to play the chords for the song Mother. The Mother chords used are actually quite basic and use mostly open chords with a known barre chord in F major. Next to the Mother chords there will be a good meaning for the Mother song and its lyrics.

Let me explain a bit about the song first. Mother is taken from the album “The Wall” created by the band Pink Floyd but actually written by Roger Waters. You could say that the meaning of Pink Floyd Mother has to do with how mothers raise their children and is not really about their mother in general. But which also refers to the wall that was built for Pink or a character like him. The lyrics suggest that ‘mother’ is being overly protective, which is disturbing to him. His mother raises him by forcing the things that must be done in life, such as the essentials, such as education and work, getting married, etc. He grows up and becomes too dependent on his mother, hence the lyric “Mother, you…”, so he becomes a bit strange and not independent. He eventually grows up too afraid to go out into the outside world since his mother built a wall too high for him. This can be explained as one more brick in the wall.

The song begins with an acoustic intro followed by David Gilmour’s soothing vocals.

I hope you enjoyed playing and learning the Mother chords from the song. Be sure to play the chords slowly and carefully at first to get the correct precision and then get the transition right by changing the chords. To make this even more fun and interesting, why not get the backing track to play against the song? I’ve done this and it’s so much fun. Gives you a great buzz!
