Hi! The band aid thing at the beginning was just a joke. Playing these bends properly, with the right technique, shouldn't be painful. It's okay if it becomes painful for the fingertips, especially if you're new to this, but your finger itself should not feel pain of any kinds.
In the end my finger did hurt a little, yes. Doing A LOT of 2/2.5 step bends whilst preparing for this video is not something you regularly do :)

"When I was a child I practiced bending... / My fingers swelled just like two balloons..."

[Twin-crmo]

His style was so slow and psychedelic that people who don't play guitar don't realize he was a string murderer. One of the most recognizable styles of all time.

Learned a lot from this. My guitar makes pretty good firewood.

30 years of playing guitar and for some absolutely crazy reason I've only just started learning gilmour songs. It feels like day 1 hour zero. He's a guitar master

[benjaminaustnesnarum]

This is part of why I love Gilmour. He says a lot with few "words."

[StenSturesKanal]

When I do a really big Gilmour bend I look away and close my eyes.

The four notes (isn’t that weird that you probably know which ones I’m talking about?) in Shine on you crazy diamond is probably one of the most beautiful and powerful licks ever

[jontypiper]

Hate it when people say "Gilmour's great" but then feel the need to add "but not very flashy" as though that takes away something from him. To me David is the most tasteful player ever, take his solo on Another Brick in the Wall, to me his choice of notes is flawless, it's personally my favourite solo by any guitarist ever. Good video 👍

[erinscott]

"On the Turning Away" has one of my favorite solos ever.

[YaoMing]

I think the bending on "Dogs" licks and solos are from another planet, peak David Gilmour

[Iheartdgd]

The Hotel California solo is pretty good bend-practice as well

[joncoish]

David Gilmour is one of my favorite guitarists of all time, his sound is so clean.

"We are going one step further, a 2 1/2 tone

I really enjoy your analysis of Gilmore's technique, especially because of your admirable diction and vocabulary. It's great to hear someone speak who KNOWS how to speak. I hope to find more of your vids. Thanx!

That Another Brick in the Wall bend broke my B string many, many times...

[mrj]

Man, I've been playing guitar for 20 years. I consider myself to be pretty good. Not great by any means. But I just wanted to say that I've learned so much from you over the last few months (that's when I decided to actually learn theory and started looking online) I had already been doing most of this, just not knowing exactly what I was doing. It opened a whole new world actually knowing what I'm doing now. Anyway, thanks for all you do. I can't get enough.

What I sense is why people appreciate Gilmor's "Sound" is because it emulates right to the soul of our heart yearning for an inexpressible feeling of want for understanding our personal experience of the essence of life. "That sound" is an unfulfillable hunger reaching to attain that which we can not describe.

I know this an old video but just wanted to say that I’m amazed at how you never seem to run out of great ideas for each new video. Hope 2020 is your best year ever 🤘🏼

Thousands of strings broken after this video.
