it's usually by implemented some dorian or Aeolian notes for some emotion. pentatonic is fine, but the feelings comes from using the full aeolian or dorian scale (depending on what mode the song is) and of course he occasionally adds the blue note here and there another thing is slow bends and delay. just put a delay on at 300ms and just slowly bend a note
Played in a Floyd tribute band for a while, I worked really hard on everything. Sometimes I felt close but always a bit inadequate. After feeling like shit after a gig when I flubbed the really high parts on the Money solo my best friend said “ dude , it’s Gilmour, you’re good but you’re a mortal” .
@@DigiPal I have a 24 fret PRS custom 24, it's no problem on that. I can also manage it on my Les Paul but it is more difficult as the bend is on the last fret right in at the cutaway. Yeah, a 21 fret Tele isn't the best, that requires a three step bend starting on the wrong note, probably sounds like crap. You can cheat though, if you have a whammy pedal. I have a pitch fork and can set the switch to momentary, then just hold it on for that bit and play it at the 12th fret. Job done.
Why do you think it's crazy that this solo is 51 years old? Do you think that music develops and gets better and better all the time? In the 70s there were bands that played instruments and wrote their own music. Today, almost no start-up bands do that. Nowadays, it's almost exclusively solo artists who have songs written for them and the music is created on computers. So, if you want to hear good musicians play real instruments, listen to music from the 60s and 70s.
@@kairoarolsen1255 I didn't hear it as a commentary on music then vs now - I heard it more as an explanation of 50+ years ago, because half a century to any human is significant as hell. It's a commentary on time.
My favorite David solo is in echoes live at Pompeii.. I’ve watched people try & reproduce it including the Nick mason concert & no one comes anywhere even close to what he does in that.. such virtuosity while sounding simultaneously laid back & super cool… what a player. Thanks for this breakdown.
Same - that’s my favorite Pink Floyd recording: he does it all in that song. Slide, power chords, triads, fuzz, experimental tremolo play, etc. Just heavenly.
Yeah, I've always thought it sounded easy to play... Until I tried it, lol. That entire album is gold, I remember getting high and listening to it when it first came out... (Just a couple o' years ago...) my senior year of HS.
To be fair, shredding didn't really become a thing until the 80s and at the time there were like 3 fuzz pedals. They didn't really have enough control over clipping to get shredding to even sound half decent
Exactly. It’s the feeling that is instilled with each note, and the intricacy of each note. THAT is what makes a good guitarist, a good musician, a good composer. Playing fast is an athletic ability, not musical ability.
David Gilmour is my favorite guitarist for so many reasons. But, his ability to put so much emotion and depth into so few notes…this makes him godly. He has such precision in his playing, then add in his perfect vocals and enunciation…spectacular.
Check out his solo on the song Standing Round Crying from the Paul Rodgers - Muddy Waters tribute album. Gilmore plays some sweet licks on that one. Great album with guest guitarists on each song. Jeff Beck does some excellent playing on it also.
How many legendary solo's has mr Gilmour written? Every note is so tasteful, every note has a purpose, has its own story. And his latest album, which dropped last Friday, is just incredible, once again.
I'm also a fan of Dave's, for ~45 years now. As the years goes by I recognise the unfortunate mortality of all of us, and even if I wish that people like DG (and DA - Attenborough) would never leave us, I know that's not possible. When that thought flashes across my mind the tears start to well up. I'm sure many of you feel the same.
This is why I’ve been listening to Pink Floyd for 50+ years and never tire of them. It’s still so difficult to explain to others why, but this video makes it clear.
That’s always been among my very favorite guitar solos. In all these years this is the first time I’ve seen anyone try to explain how it’s done. Thank you 🙏 ❤😊
@@FinlandGuy747Nice! In NYC? Wife and I are driving from Nor. California to Hollywood in late October for his show. Love the new album, we can't wait!
@@TheGiantMidgetlol it’s not OA, I just Played for hours every day, was bending terribly wrong. So essentially overuse, didn’t listen to my pain. I would sit there with the string bent looking at the tab. I rehabbed it and it’s never bothered me again. Been about over a year now. I learned bending from some metal guys on RUclips that did a great job of explaining how to do it.
Gilmour is the perfect example of getting the most out of each note...his solos are so damn.memorable. combined with the tones he was acheiving (still acheiving)...its like guitar spell casting
@@DigiPal this solo is in the minor key, he uses that scale for some of it, its not all pentatonic. (but i stand to be corrected, maybe im remembering wrong?).
This is so fun to play, and I may have a hack to save your fingers: reverse (left hand) headstock on the strat. The high strings have the shortest length behind the nut, so you dont have to push as much string. Love this lesson!!
I have a suggestion for you regarding tone and pickup selection and your discussion around the 06:40-50 mark. I think he's playing it all on the bridge pickup, but he's getting vocal tones you expect from the neck via two techniques. One is the collapsing effect of the fuzz, where the top end rolls off when you hit it with a lot of signal. The second is his right hand position. I think he pulls a lot of those vocal tones by positioning his pick about halfway between the fretted note and the bridge. Right on the octave harmonic.
You sound fantastic. Your setup is so good, a lot of people try to get that sound out of their Strat but you are dead on my friend. I’ve been a serious fan for the last fourth five years and feel so lucky to have shared time on this planet with them in it. It’s too bad Roger is such a douche bag that David won’t play with him. If they did, the ticket prices would be so inflated that I’m sure I would refuse to pay the asking price. Keep going, we need more talent like yours to keep the music alive.
Things and back stories like this are amazing. Switching gears, I'm 80s EVH die hard rock metal guitarist. It took me 30 years to figure out that Eddie tricked us with "two chords", G#/F# - Ain’t Talkin’ ’bout Love, this 1978 rock song is iconic.
Fantastic breakdown of one of the great guitar solos of all time. Your demonstration is as well done as any I've ever looked at on RUclips. So thank you and keep doing what you do so well.
I had a book/cassette called Dr. Licks when I was learning guitar at 16 years old about a hundred years ago. It had the solo for Time and Money in it (as well as a few others), and I practiced the hell out of them. Used to be able to play this one pretty well, but my lack of calluses these days would cause my fingers incredible pain on those high bends! Great lesson!
dude that strat is sooo sick that board is dark as night! like a slab of dark chocolate next to a slice of minty green goodness great lesson too… i’m in the middle of trying to make a video about Tommy Bolin‘s guitar parts on red Baron and I feel exactly the same way. I’m not nearly as good as you or anywhere close for that matter lol but it’s like no matter how much you learn something from somebody that talented and one of a kind, you’re never gonna get all the “little things” so you just gotta learn what you can from it
Time is my absolute favourite Gilmour solo of all...TIME! I had missed a few details, like the extra picks at 4:30. I thought those were produced by a delay effect or something. Couldn't figure it out, but turns out to be quite simple. Thanks for this video!
There is also parts where he uses the tremelo arm along with all the other techniques you are demonstrating,its absolute magic,thanks for the run through ,great instruction and knowledge.
Bends are the key to Gilmours playing. I spent an entire summer focusing on his bends. Soooooo glad I did. The 3rd solo on shine on is a great example. Tore my fingers up. Great lesson bro.
I was told a long time ago, a good musician listens to sounds they focus on the single notes and their ears hear things differently than most people, some of the greatest rock and roll guitar players of this century did exactly that, they heard sounds that most people can’t and will never pick up, that’s what made them so incredible at what they did. Jimmy, David, Eddie, Eric j they had that ability to isolate sounds and pick the exact note that fit
One of my favorite solos of all time and one that i used to know by heart, but I always played the version he played on the Pulse album...i love the subtle changes he made to it on pulse. His tone on that tour was epic too.
David Gilmour developed flawless technique and has masterful tones. More than a triple threat, singer, writer, player, producer, and more. The world of Rock is better for having his and all the Pink Floyd contributions to music. Is any wonder they are so loved by so many?!?! Nice instruction Robert. Rock on brother. 🤩
Now do all of it together and then 17 more solos for all the other songs you play on the gig!!! And play Dark Side of the Moon in one sitting... Yeah I know....We are all just mortals... Sir David Gilmour isn't!!! Gilmour playing Comfortably Numb live at Pompeii 2016 must be one of his best performance ever at 76 years old lol!!! It's definitely my favorite solo of his that I can remember!!!
He's got the best guitar solos in Rock IMHO. I started listening to Floyd in High school when The Wall album came out. I think Wish You Were Here and Dark Side are their best albums, but all of David's solos are Great! You have done a really good job teaching how to play this! I have never seen anyone else do this on RUclips. Thank you very much for sharing!!!
Legit video and 100% know the more you get into it, the more your eyes open to how nuts it is. Same with Johnny Marr's stuff. You start off going yeah im up for this and then its like oh my 😂❤
Davids solo from On The Turning Away, is equally good as the ones mentioned. I like the first solo from comfortably numb, because you can play a decent version on an acoustic guitar. The second solo, you really need an electric guitar, bass, drums and keyboard to do it justice. Basically, all of Davids solos are great!
Great that you give attention to Gilmour. Gilmour is The guitarist, together with Gary Moore and Mark Knopfler, that influenced me greatly. Prefer their music and style way more than all those emotionless shredders. Gilmour and Knopfler play the most beautiful music with minor scales only.
Amazing technique. I was always keyboard, piano, and organ. Sure I had a pitch bend but rarely used it. So many intricacies about guitar that keyboards just don’t have to worry with. I love guitar but never learned it, reserving all my practice time for the keys.
Nobody can copy what that guitar God can do to perfection. It totally comes from his soul. You cannot infiltrate a man's soul ....impossible! David Gilmour in my opinion is and always will be the greatest guitarist of ALL TIME !!!
If the bends hurt, use thinner gauge strings! Or tune 1/2 step down, shift your fingers one fret up. There's no need to suffer for your art 😅 I use 8s, they're great if you get your intonation properly set up.
Thanks so much for doing this and for posting such great content consistently! You are definitely one of my go to, keep doing your thing👍🏻👍🏻 Good bending is way underrated… Another good one is Clapton in my guitar gently weeps, incredible bending!
I think the Time solo exactly as on DSOTM is probably my fave GM solo. The crazy sound and the micro tonal intonation of some of the notes, and just the whole solo.
Thank Robert you did it justice nail it I would you were 98% on it . Way you show it in simply way . Not covering up fretboard use fringer what note are play is best way . I learnt more this way then other . You are true sport , mate 👍 mate 🇦🇺
Your doing a great job showing the fact that Gilmours solos are beautiful but painful. I'm proud of my recreation of the Time solo, along with a few others. I learned years ago if I didnt want my fairly calloused fingers to get peeled off and tender, I had to play that perticular solo once or twice every two or three days. I mean how many other guitarist can you say causes that. Great to subscribe to your channel, and Thanks
My "best solo" of all time is and always will be a tie: David's two solos from "Comfortably Numb". He's just pouring so much emotion into that guitar, it's almost overwhelming.

Yeah who? Because I know who David Gilmour is but not who David Gilmore is.
no shredding, no fast diddly stuff, slow with such precision and meaning its a gift, he just makes it look easy.

My "best solo" of all time is and always will be a tie: David's two solos from "Comfortably Numb". He's just pouring so much emotion into that guitar, it's almost overwhelming.
Favorite solo ever
people say comfortably numb is the best DG solo but Time is for me, its my fav gtr solo in all of music
He has so many
Great video! What guitar are you playing in the video? I don't see it listed in the notes.
Long been my favorite of his solos. I know most are more partial to Comfortably Numb, but Time does it for me.
