Gilmour also said, in an old interview, that he likes to sing his solos first. And he does "sing along" in the Wish You Were Here song during the solo, remember? Anyway, I'm a huge fan of David. I build his black, red and white strats and play his solos everyday! Thanks for what you do, Ian!

[alexokrayiii]

I love the "running towards the door" method. I am going to add that to my playing. Thanks for the new way of looking at it.

1978 gilmour solo album. ‘There’s no way out of here.’ Unbelievable song. If you haven’t heard it, it bangs

[TheFunkybert]

Ian, I’m so grateful for this interpretation of Gilmour’s
style. Something clicked inside me the way you explained the phrasing. 🙏❤️

[alekai]

Man you just blew my mind! And you discovered it through a dream which is wild! Tension and release is a huge aspect of Pink Floyd’s music, and this just added another great example. He’s building that tension towards the chord change…releases it on those spacious vibrato notes. Genius.

[michaelroche]

Great concept Ian and delivered in such an illustrative way. Thank you again for all you do. You have transformed my playing and confidence in how I express myself musically, and I'm sure I'm not alone. You should be proud of your work, what it means to us, and your ability to pull out these musical observations and insights and convey it to the world. You're a gem. Thank you

[TheXenProject]

Roine Stolt of The Flower Kings does pretty good Gilmour style solos (mixed with some Steve Howe rhythm).

My father also told me one of the biggest secrets to Gilmour's solos are the places where he isn't playing. The tension followed by resolve.

[KWalshMusic]

Dude! Sir Ian! You just totally opened a door for me (and I've been doing this for over 40 years)! How did I not see this before? Thank you *so much* for this simple yet vital and fundamental observation. I'm pretty sure my lead playing just jumped up a notch or two!

[Sinnsonido]

Gilmour's solo in "Funky Dung", both live and in studio, is a virtual masterclass in perfect blues phrasing. IIRC it's a two chord vamp also...sounds like Gm7 & C7 on that one.

[adambrunner]

Yes we are on our way and it feels glorious. I've been playing, watching your vids, and been substance free for over 5 years now. I turn 50 in May and feel I'm really on the cusp of being a pretty damn good guitar player. Best feeling ever and I've felt them all if ya know what I mean! Thanks Ian hope to see you at a show someday!⭕

[mikoelmongi]

You have been such a wonderful teacher over the years. Thanks you!

[aliveinside]

Love the back story to the video. This concept totally makes sense to his style of playing. Super useful idea. You’re the best out there Ian.

[richardcloe]

This guy needs more subscribers, you can tell the love of teaching he has. The way he teaches also, it's thorough and he makes it really easy to follow and understand. You're the man Stitch, glad you have given the time to give us the knowledge.

[matkatipo]

You Stitch, are the master of the musical metaphor. Thank you for sharing your wisdom.

[neilcampbell]

Gilmore is a legend.
You don't need to play fast to sound good . Great lesson 👍

[Jadevibration]

Great video Ian! This is definitely a takeaway lesson here. Approaching the moment versus playing straight into it. And thinking of percussion while recording solo is gold. Thank you cheers mate

[derekd]

Damn I love how Gilmour played. Man just had soul while playing and if I can ever get even close to his style urg would be a dream.

[chrisniell-elrs]

Short, concise, intuitive been playing for “ages”
I rarely find anything useful. Good stuff

[meeno_the_man]

Yes! Lovely way to put oneself in a different head space so that the language can come through.

[gobomanaga]

Love how you explain things, no theoretical nonsense, getting right to the point in teaching how an intuitive player can understand instead of how a professor would write it on a blackboard
