David Gilmour's #1 Guitar Solo To LEARN

--

[seangarland]

You don’t just hear the first Comfortably Numb solo, you FEEL it. It’s literally perfect.

[Justin_Dykes]

Gilmore is ASTOUNDING.... His tone is stellar and he just plays enough to keep you in the feel of the song.... He plays so in the zone.... His solo CD "On an Island" is musical genius

I love David Gilmour. One of the most melodic players. His phrasing is incredible. Please do the second solo!

[nudsh]

I think a lot of people overlook what drove Gilmour into his solo's and their style. Pink Floyd's music always had a very deep story to tell, a journey to take you on, so the solo had to simply take you to that Apex of the journey, to the top of the mountain so you could then see and breathe clearly into the story. It had a purpose, a meaning. Just magic!

Gilmore is not a fretboard acrobat, but that is why we love him. His solos are beautifully appropriate and are transcendent in their composition. Please, please, please breakdown the 2nd solo for us mortals!!!

[JFrank]

You absolutely have to do the final comfortably numb solo from pulse. By far his best I think, unbelievable!

[timothylenaghan]

Gilmour's phrasing is magic. Breaking down any of his solo's is a great exercise for any guitar player. The solo from "Time" is also a great one to look at, and "Another Break in the Wall" as well.

I'd love to hear your analysis of the other solo, sir.

[littmusify]

When I think of the solos of David Gilmour, I think of the notes that are carefully chosen and the influence Richard Wright's piano playing style had on him. Richard's sense of melody and theory was the glue of Pink Floyd's music. You mentioned "taste." Exactly. It's what makes this solo so pleasing to listen to and so emotional. Thank you for this lesson.

[tdorsey]

Please breakdown the second one, and I will definitely be there.

The first time I heard Echos live at Pompeii, it changed my life. Gilmore has, in my opinion, the perfect tone.

[flybynight]

Saw him play it live in L.A. Gilmour has influenced a generation guitar players, and this is his crown jewel.

[adamcebula]

Second solo please! Your passion and enthusiasm is truly infectious. Watching these videos and how excited you get describing what's being played makes me excited to play guitar.

[professoryaffle]

Man, I’ve been playing guitar since 1988 and you keep on helping me with how I can play. Mad respect. It’s appreciated mate.

[campy]

Gilmour has these evenly spaced arpeggios that feel soooo driven and deliberate and their resolutions are so satisfying. The 1st phrase of the 1st solo has such a physically grand feel to it. Feels like I'm at the top of a giant lighthouse, turning on the light and shining down on the ocean.

[weps]

Gilmore's playing is phenomenal! And your breakdown of his solo (part 1) is, for me, spot on. I appreciate it and need it. Please do part 2.

[AmicoFF]

Hey Michael, you pronounced it correctly! Thank you for the analysis. I totally agree with the point that we need to check the changing underlying chord tones and why the solo sounds great at the top of them. Not yet there to quickly break down the modulation and key changes but your courses help a lot to be better. Thanks

Gilmour’s solo in Great Day for Freedom” from Gdańsk may be the greatest live solo I’ve ever heard. Just astounding

[Liveeruptsuj]

Great lesson, I especially appreciated you pointing out the repeated motifs, both unison as well as an octave apart. Something I've always needed to do more of in my own recording. Great channel.

Michael, I just love and applauded your teaching skills you are such a great teacher. Thank you.
