Thank you again! And yep! He is so melodic! Plus the way he manipulates the notes with bending, slides , and hammer-ons and pull offs! Then there’s that tone! lol!
I'm struggling with turning the corner from playing rhythm to learning how to solo. "Use the chord tones" everyone says. This is great because it really shows a different way to get the notes in a new way (at least to me). Thanks very much for a really informative lesson based on one of my all-time favorite guitarists.
Thank you! What is your chord and scale vocabulary like? I’ve always said that it’s important to understand how they relate and how to look for chord shapes inside of scale patterns. Maybe I should do a video on that. What do you think?
I think you should learn the 5 positions of the minor pentatonic scale and then also add the blues note in after you learn those. That's a good place to start then you can also target the notes of the chords as you get more advanced.
Keep rocking. You have a nice grasp of Gilmour ‘s techniques. Glad that you have been able to be a professional musician as it obviously makes you happy and that is why God blesses us with talent… You have worked to turn your talent into a skill. Now that I have located you, I will try to follow you more frequently… hopefully at a more intermediate to professional level. 😊. Cheers / Slainte. 🇬🇧🏴🇺🇸. 🎸👨🏼⚕️🫶✌️♾️
@@johndrowe5281 thank you so much! I really appreciate the kind words! Please let me know if you have any interests that I can help elaborate on. I’d love to hear about any progress as well! Thank you again!
@@anupnegi9824 thanks so much for the comment!! I plan on doing a full breakdown of some of Gilmour’s solos soon. Probably all of “Time”. Let me know if that sounds interesting to you.
@@peterdoiron6435 thanks for the sub and comment!! I’m glad you liked it!! I’m always open for suggestions! Let me know what you are into and I’ll do more in that direction!!
@@francesclarke6808 actually I am using a Helix Lt for the videos. It’s a simple patch I think I made from watching another video on CZcams that showed the settings for Time, so I put it together from there. There are some other really easy downloads that other people have done as well. I’m really a real amp thru real pedals kind of guy but this has made gigging and doing videos very simple. It’s basically a Hiwatt running into a 4x12 Hiwatt with a hall type reverb and an old style tape delay. I also have a fuzz on the channel with tube driver available also. I have a compressor in the chain as well obviously. Hope this helps!
@@michaeldaley13 thank you! It was a gift and I love it! It’s actually put together by. Revelator guitars from what I understand. It sounds and plays great!
Great job. Could you listen to the original recording again? I think he doesn' t "bend up to A " in 5:23 - he moves back a fret and plays the same note by bending up. I realize I sound like a moron because I don't read music, and of course, you're a much better player. Just curious.
Thanks for this crystal-clear explanation. I like your guitar sound. Are you getting the distortion with a Big Muff pedal or just the drive channel on your amp? And what about the delay? Is it a tape delay emulation (Space Echo) or a digital delay?
Hey! Thanks for the compliment and question! I am actually using a Helix LT and the channel is a David Gilmour preset that I put in. I am using a Tube Driver style distortion but I do have a fuzz available on that channel but not in use on this video. The delay is a Tape Echo style and sounds really good. Hope this answers your question!
GUY, try to make a Gilmour lesson on Obscured by Clouds on the songs Burning Bridges and Mudmen because I think he uses chord tone soloing also. The Gilmour "Habits" is bending the 4th chord tone to the 5th chord tone or bending the 2nd chord tone up to the minor 3rd chord tone?
@@waynegram8907 I’ll see what I can work up!! Great ideas! Thank you!! And yes his bending other notes up to chord tones is one of his special powers!! Thanks again for the input!!
@@guyunger3280 Comfortable Numb solo#1 has 2 sections the relative major section which is 2 chords then goes to the Relative Minor Section which is 2 chord. If you look at the phrasing of both sections its the SAME scale/pentatonic but the only thing difference is the "tonal center" of the home note. You should make a video lesson about which guitar solos use this relative major & relative minor sections. I have notice also that Gilmour often will resolve on the 5th chord tone giving a dark tonality. I'm not sure what the musical term its called when resolving on the 5th chord tone but its not called an inversion or mode. Gilmour does this to make it has a different tonality color instead of resolving on the root note chord tone.
@@alexfischer8471 thanks!! Yes I am going direct. I’m using a Helix Lt. I found a great patch on the Line 6 Customtone section of their site and I love that patch for most of my Floyd stuff that I do.
How do you get that creamy sustain tone? Thats the most quintisential sound i cant seem to replicate with my couple of delays, TS9, Boss compressor, and a clone of the RAT?
@@davidpask4232 I actually am using a Helix LT and it’s a sound I put in. It’s basically a Hiwatt with compression a tube driver a tape Delay among a few other things but basically that’s what your hearing there. Hope this helps. Maybe I’ll do a video on the tone.
Thanks, one constructive comment for you. It would have been much easier to learn and follow if you had a clean guitar setting. The heavy modulation, delay, and gain made it confusing and difficult to hear each of the triad notes while you were demonstrating. Great material though and appreciate it.
@@stoneglad thanks for the comment. I was just using a Gilmour style tone. So I was trying to keep the vibe going, but what you’re saying makes complete sense though. Again thanks for the observation and comment! I’ll keep that in mind while demonstrating the lines in the future.
nothing much new here. every time I learn a great solo - guess what, it's the triads or arpeggios - every time. I think of the chord underneath now, just remember the chords, dont remember every note by note blindly. the solo notes are from the chords. Mark knopfler is another one, every lick and solo in Sultans are the chords - guess what - it suits the chords - cause it is the chords.
@@Glensully exactly!! The beauty is once you understand how the chord tones work in context the next step is how to get in and out of those notes in interesting ways!! Bends, slides, hammer ons pull offs. Using other scale tones to make those chord tones pop!! I hope this was still helpful though!
@@guyunger3280 yeah i didnt mean it as 'not helpful' especially for beginners. and yes chord tones (thats the base) - then make some tension with other notes is also needed.
Haven't watched the vid yet but I just want to say, great topic!! Can't wait to hear your insights.
@@RobSmith-rn3ie awesome!! Thank you! I hope you like it! Let me know what you think!
really good explanation of David Gilmour's musicality
@@JamesPowell-g7d thank you!! I always said that he can say more with two notes than most people could with fifty!!
Another thumbs up! (and sub!) Gilmour has long been my favorite rock guitarist because he's so melodic.
