Solo Better On Guitar In 20 Minutes Or Less Using The Gilmour Approach - How To Create Melodic Solos
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 июл 2024
- Want to solo better on guitar in 20 minutes or less? I suggest using what I call the Gilmour approach to soloing on guitar. This approach can get you soloing and creating better more melodic guitar solos in almost no time at all! I mean let's face it David Gilmour of Pink Floyd has written and recorded some of the most epically melodic solos ever played on guitar. In todays lesson we will analyze how using the pentatonic shapes and the CAGED system can lead us to understanding exactly what he was doing in some of those solos. Take his first solo in the song Comfortably Numb a textbook example of playing perfectly to the chord changes in the progression using very simple chord shapes too solo from.
Next we will take that same idea and concept but use a different chord progression and feel to create an entirely off the cuff melodic solo. This system will work wonders for your playing! Want to dig deep into these types of concepts? Check out 👇

I see David Gilmour i click!
Me too!!!!
Haha!
Many thanks, I've been looking for "do shredding techniques" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Ganyatty Guitar Gainify - (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my work buddy got cool success with it.
Same all time favorite guitarist
David Gilmore a guy I know nothing about. I've have also worked for many proffesional recording artists from Tom Petty: Motle Crue: Ratt: Forienor to NUGENT: knowing guy who recorded with Jimi Hendrix on Electric ladyland: Song Jimi_ Jimmy jam: Perhaps I've been kinda spoiled? Or fortunate,,, Having a brother in R&R HOF 2011 inductee,,I guess this guy is what's "IN" right now? U say hes in top5 players? He's no Jeff Beck that 4 sho! I thought u taught blues: but I'm glad its not shredding...this does sounds musical which is good. So I'll hang out a bit longer...thanks.
Many guitar lessons fall into the 'give a man a fish' category. This, however, is a 'teach a man to fish' lesson and worth so much more. That it's based on a Gilmour classic is just a very big cherry on top. Excellent stuff, Brett. Thank you!
You are welcome Ian! Thanks for checking it out and the kind words!
thats why i am a big fan of the Stach man
Haha great perspective and analogy
David Gilmour is THE reason I became a guitarist. The smartest thing my teacher did when I 1st started playing was he taught me how to “play the guitar” before anything else. In other words, he let me explore how to physically play the instrument in my own natural way, using my fingers properly of course. Because he did that though, I was able to create my own style and “my own sound” if you will, which of course is very much based on Gilmour, with a lot of bending, and a lot of finger harmonics. So my style naturally became very melodic. Once that was 2nd nature, then we went back and I started learning and applied proper scaling, which then had my style naturally applied to it. For me, that’s the way to go. You can teach anyone structured scales but melody has to come naturally or it’s not really melody.
That's awesome!
I'm no professional guitarist in the slightest - I've been tinkering for 30 years having fun playing along with tab sheets for most all of my favorites from the 70's and 80's. I've just now later in life wanted to expand my own playing just a little to have fun. I say all that to also add I know ABSOLUTELY no music theory - so a lot of videos are lost on me because I don't know the language. That being said - I am ELATED to find I actually understood your explanations PERFECTLY - you managed to teach me some more advancements with my playing FINALLY taught/explained in a manner I could GET !!!! Made great sense and you just single-handedly taught me something I can understand , use and expand on for the first time EVER on RUclips - thanks so much for teaching/showing this the way you did !!
That is awesome!! Thanks so much for the kind words! So glad to hear the lesson helped you!
Oh man, more some really good stuff. This one explains a lot. Damn, Best teacher on RUclips.
Haha! Thanks so much!
This lesson was really awesome. I love the strat from Brett........looks and sounds very good!
Yea, Gilmour has been one of my five favorite guitarists since I was a child in the 70's.
No other guitarist has been in my top five for that long.
Yep always in my top 5 too! So good!
It was so great to hear you talk about David Gilmour almost exactly how I have talked about him. I belong to a classic rock facebook page in which people post classic rock songs- and people can make comments, along with the person who created the post. There are always people that will say this guitar player or band is better than that guitar player or band....and they will even expound on that by saying things like- this guitar player couldn't tie the shoes of that guitar player.( you get the picture). I absolutely hate that first of all...I always say to them...MUSIC IS NOT A COMPETITION ! I do prefer to listen to guitar players who play melodically and with feel -Like David G. People on the page will often bring up guitar players that can play lightning fast- a million notes a minute- I always come back and say that I prefer to listen to players who put some soul into their playing.
Gilmour knows when NOT to play notes. He doesn't need filler .
WOW! One of the BEST lessons I've ever had in 25 years!!! I'm just now understanding the CAGED system but to see one of the most iconic solos broken down like that was a real eye opener regarding how strong those E, A & D shapes are. Incredible lesson!!! (I also purchased of few of yours and Corey's courses and they are do damn good!!! THANKS!) I watch nearly all videos but rarely comment...I try to support by purchasing.
Wow thanks man! Thanks so much for the support too! You make it all possible!
Yes! Another mellow guitar lesson I can keep up with. Thanks for taking your time with me, Brett. I can hear you and my guitar playing is improving!
Thanks Rick! Glad you lied the vid!
there's also the Jeff Beck approach, where you rip the throat out of the air in the room before gently singing it to Valhalla. And then you set it on fire before watching it drift to the horizon
Haha pretty much!
BECK is soooooo Creative ! He's in top 5 guitarist according to Guitar player magazine. Jeff Beck said to BB King, I guess Eric is the best blues guitar player and BB replied I wouldn't be too sure about that Jeff, insinuating that Jeff Beck would give Eric Clapton a run for his money.
You dont have to be a pink floyd guy to get something out of this.....there's a blueprint to lead note choices all over this lesson... liked✔
Thanks for checking it out! Glad you liked it!
Estudantes de guitarra brasileiros adoram quando você aborda os clássicos. Parabéns!
Love your channel, Brett! Have been following you for a few years now and my playing has greatly improved from the concepts that you've been teaching. I had my CAGED break through based on your lessons, so thank you for the outstanding and super helpful instructional videos!
Awesome to hear Michael! Great to know the lessons are helping! Thanks for watching!
Once again - Great Job, Brett! David Gilmour has ALWAYS been one of my favorite players.. no wonder though, blues phrasing in some of the heaviest songs ever! No Flash, just Class! 👍🎸✌️😎
For sure! Such a great player/writer!
Hi Papa S. Mr Schon is also a chord tone master!! All his epic solo's. Left me thinking, "what kind of magic do these guy's have?" This lesson was a real gift!! Sooo Thank You!
For sure! He is one of my all time favorites. My favorite bends and vibrato for sure!
@@BrettPapa You gotta do some Neal Schon Bro! But for the record, this was the best guitar lesson on YT I've ever seen! And I've seen the some good ones. Nicely done Sir!👍🍺
Gilmour is my favorite guitar player
Yep he is one of mine as well
This is such an excellent lesson....I love how you've tied the CAGED shapes into this...pretty much a formula. Thanks for all the value you bring Brett!
Thanks Bill! Glad it helped you out!
Just when you think he can't come up with yet another masterclass in CAGED, he goes and does it again. Bravo. 👏👏👏
Every single note broken down and put into crystal clear context. So much so, that you make it sound like the solo wrote itself. As if to say "well of course this note was the natural choice for this part of the solo".
So glad I bought your course. Worth every cent and more. Thanks for all the additional free lessons you give us here too!
Wow thanks Rory! Means a lot!
Wow 🤯 love these sort of lessons Huge THANKS! We all appreciate the time and enthusiasm in all your lessons.
Stay safe
Sure thing! Thanks for tuning in!
Gilmour is a fantastic player to emulate. Phrasing and feel is instantly recognizable. Can't thank you enough Brett . Every video inspires me to play better.Thanks for all you do, mon ami ...et à bientôt .
French fan here too 🇨🇵😁...
You are welcome kind sir! Great to see you as always!
The Guitar isn't just a guitar my friend its a machine for turning Men into Gods! Gilmour doesn't just play the guitar he makes it speak to your soul.
it it the firestick
Haha good take!
I was a singer until I had hearing loss in my left ear in 2008 and got discouraged. I’m now picking up a guitar again after all this time and this opened up my mind so much. I don’t know what caged is, but I do love This song and solo. You are a GREAT teacher and make it seem so simple. I learned so much so far and I’m only 1/2 way through the video. Thank you so much. I have so much gratitude in my heart right now. I believe again that it’s possible for me like I did when I was a kid trying the just learn the pentatonic scale. Just this one lesson and I see the neck differently. I’ve been wanting to learn all my triads and chord shapes. This is a great video thank you!
Oh thats great to hear! Thanks for checking it out! Just check my channel out to find out more about the CAGED system. Just put it in the search bar of my main page and you will see a bunch of videos.
Caged opens a lot of doorways I like your story and determination keep rocking
always love a Brett Papa video . Love the interviews but this stuff is soooooo good !!!! please keep them coming .
Thanks Jon! Will do!
The rock tone you achieve for these lessons is the best I've heard online. Plus, that's probably the best trucker lid in all the land. Great stuff and thank you!
Haha! Thanks James! Divided by 13 amps are pretty amazing!
Really good lesson man! Your tone is just awesome. And your Bends & vibrato are on point!
Thanks Mike! Glad you liked it! Hendrix Little Wing is going up tomorrow!
Once again, my friend, you've simultaneously expanded, exploded and imploded my mind. Well done. Thanks, Papa Brett!
Thanks Gary! Glad I could help you out!
Thank YOU so much for putting together such an in depth and mind blowing lesson!
Great lesson! Love your channel - always have super quality videos whether its with guests or by yourself. Thanks much!
Thanks so much! Glad to hear you enjoy the channel! Thanks for checking it out!
You just earned a subscription - I really like how you're demonstrating this. Most just show you a solo and if you're not savvy on chords/triads up the neck you have no idea what's really under your fingers. A fantastic tool to bring a lesson like this together is Mel Bay's Rhythm Guitar Chord System - it was the best 15 bucks I ever spent in my life. LOL
Thanks Mark!
Just watching a guy play makes it hard to learn what he's really doing because the way they have their fingers hides the notes they are playing. Sometimes this is to mute strings they don't want to make sound, or sometimes like with Jimi Page he's setting up for the next chord by using unconventional fingering. A good teacher will show each note and what fingers are being used. I haven't wtched thuis yet but sounds like he takes the time to show whats often hard to see.
Just subscribed!
This so far has been the best explanation on the actual application of triad chord shapes in an actual solo broken down to this level. Sorry for that run in sentence lol.
Solid stuff! Thank you!
Awesome! Thanks for the sub!
Love ya work Brett. Cheers for your vids mate.
Thank ya! Glad you liked it!
Your very welcome, welcome , welcome. 👍😁
I enjoy your videos and have learned not only some great solos that you have broken down (Neal Schon) and other tips, I have been struggling the last couple of weeks with my solos looking for a break through, and this Video gave me exactly what i needed, the last couple of days using this approach has taken my playing to another level. Thank you so much
That is awesome to hear! Glad I could help you out!
After 40 years of guitar playing I find that I practice just as much or more to perfect a Gilmour solo as I do some shredding EVH solo. It seems silly that I can screw up "bend, pull off...hammer on...hold" easier than messing up Eddies tricks.
My favorite quote from Gilmour: "I like to bend a note...hold it for a while...then shake it"
He has one of the hardest feels to cop for sure! Amazing player!
@@BrettPapa got that right! I just put the guitar aside and enjoy sometimes...like this:
ruclips.net/video/LTseTg48568/видео.html
for instance at 2:52 - 2:55 in the above video...that's godly Hendrix like feedback control. That swell feedback harmonic he gets is so out of this world. Its the little things right?
Wow, such good information here! Stuck in scales so long without much melody, I'm going to use this method and see how it helps me. Thanks so much Brett!
You are welcome Doug!
Great lesson!
And you’re tone is spot on.
That’s it, I *subbed* cause this is great stuff!!
✌🏼
Awesome! Thanks for the sub!!
Massive fan of yours Brett! Been playing guitar more than I ever have before because of you dude! I also love Pink Floyd! Not even watched this video yet, the title tells me this is gonna be one of your best
Thanks so much! Glad the vids are helping you out!
Just such a great vid among great vids, my man! that amp is killer, too, btw! You are not so bad yourself, sir.
Thank ya!
Great stuff Brett!
Thanks David!
Absolutely awesome explanation / Demonstration..!! I learn so much more in these 20 min vids. With your approach to teaching, you're helping me keep my dream alive...(to get better by understand how the parts fit together)
Awesome to hear Luke! Glad you liked the vid!
This is why you are the man. You make scales not suck ass by giving them context and meaning.
Also, you're one of the few who realises that learning at this level means no need to turn a 20min vid into a 40min vid by pointing out every note in an effort to pander to beginners and intermediate.
Thanks Rory! Glad you liked the vid!
Love your videos Brett, thanks for sharing all of this. Cheers mate.
Sure thing! Thanks for tuning in!
Another great lesson and on one of the best guitarists we know of, will never forget what you said on a previous lesson regarding chord shapes, quote, change your thinking from scales.
Thanks Victor!
Wow, love it 🙏🏻
Cheers from Denmark 🇩🇰
Thanks Rene!
Thanks for posting this video, very informative and helpful. Keep up good work Brett Papa!
Sure thing Peter!
Yes! This is gold. This is a revelation and you know it because there's that beautiful simplicity that underlines the idea.
Totally agree David!
For me once I learned all of my triads on all string sets these kind of chord focused licks really started to come out. The 3rd and the 5th hold the characteristics of that chord and add so much color to your playing. Before I was hanging and resolving to the roots just way too often.
Lucky you. I dread having to learn all them triads lmao
@@saigonproducer Learn all 5 shape triad arpeggios and mix it with the pentatonic and the chicks will be for free.
That was REALLY great because you showed and explained your approach combined with a well known example. That way it becomes way more obvious what you mean. Thanks for the lesson 👍👍👍. Cool stuff to work on for sure ! 🎸 Greetings from 🇩🇪.
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
Thank you Brett. I really needed this lesson. It's a game changer.
Sure thing man!
Well analyzed and well explained, never heard it put this way, but makes perfect sense, and its heard musically so well. Great lesson!
Thanks Craig!
Thank you so much for the lesson..Love the sound of that Strat.❤🎸🤟🏴
You are welcome Wayne! Lollar pickups are awesome! Highly recommend them! Thanks for watching!
@@BrettPapa I will take a look,Thank you!
I really enjoy your channel. Great interviews, and well explained lessons. Like this one. Much Respect...
Thanks Michael! Glad to hear you like the channel!
Awesome video!! Love Gilmore, and love this system!
Well it was your idea haha! Glad you liked it!
Another great lesson and man your tone is always amazing
Thank you!
What a great lesson. So simple, connecting shapes. Just a good reminder to learn all the chords across the fretboard.
Thanks Garret! Yep most of the time simplicity wins the day!
You know every time I start to watch one of your videos I start laughing, your joyful enthusiasm is incredibly contagious bro. I have to admit though, this was beyond my playing ability, but something to save for later.
Haha! You got this just watch it a couple of times.
@@BrettPapa Thanks, I will give it a go, I guess small bites is the key. Cheers.
Good stuff 👍👍👍💯🔥
Right lesson at the right time for me. So clear. Thank you 🤘
You are welcome!
Great lesson! Thanks man!
Thanks for tuning in!
I love his solos. All for the reasons you mentioned. I watch a lot of videos and most seem like guys wanting to show off how fast they are or that they no every "trick". Doesn't impress me. I'd rather play like Gilmour. He just makes you want to listen instead of tuning out when you hear him.
Me too. I appreciate both but Gilmour is something special.
Great video as always!
Thanks Christopher!
Damn Brett I watch one of your videos and learn so much I just sit and wait for the next one thanks for all the lessons
Awesome to hear Troy! Glad you like the vids!
Thank you so much! This is great & very helpful. A lot for me to work on!
Sure thing Shane! Glad to hear it helped you out!
I like the tone and sustain you’re getting.
Thanks! Just the amp with a touch of boost pedal.
@@BrettPapa which amp and boost?
This video is so helpful. Really good insight into how to think about soloing.
Thanks Allan! Thanks for tuning in!
Been a RUclips student of you for years...another great lesson, thank you for what you do !
Thanks so much Mikey! Thanks for watching for all of these years!
Great Lesson Bro! awesome ideas very melodic and tasty just slow down and really hone in on the melody Big Ups💯
Thanks Ronnie!
Love it! Thank you. I love your videos.
Thanks Victor!
Great tips man. Thank you 🎸
Sure thing!
Dude! Light bulbs turning on in my head! I already know a lot of scales, but it always seems like I'm just getting lucky when I hit the right note. This is the missing piece I have been searching for!
Awesome! Glad it helped Brandon!
Such a powerful lesson. Thanks.
Sure thing Hugh! Thanks for checking it out!
thanks for sharing, awesome video!
Sure thing! Thanks for watching!
Great lesson - thanks!
Sure thing!
Good stuff Brett like usual. I always give people links to your stuff when people on FB ask how to play solos. You always sound great and have easy to understand vids. Keep going please. And you rig always sounds great.
Thanks Glen! Thanks for spreading the word and watching the vids! Glad to hear you like them!
@@BrettPapa I always like them and your zany humour :) keep it up
It's all tension! Unfulfillment. Thanks
Your a great teacher and I love how you explain what seems the impossible into simple bit sized chunks. Thanks
You are welcome! Thanks for watching!
Great lesson, thank you
You are welcome Russell!
Examples like this are pure GOLD! Too many flashy players try to dump out pre-packed runs and kicks. This melodic style of playing is far superior and musical for most listeners.
David is a master at that! Thanks for checking out the vid!
I much prefer watching a teaching like this, using shapes to solo in, than the typical...ok, put your ring finger on the eleventh fret and bend it up a half step then bring it down and slide to the thirteenth yada yada yada. I may learn the solo that way but I don't focus on the chords being played. This is a great teaching and plan to start looking at all of the chord progressions I practice and jam to and looking at chord shapes to improvise to instead of always looking thru the lens of the scale patterns I've already learned. Thanks for opening my eyes a little wider!
Sure thing! Thanks for checking out the video!
Thx Brett. Cool stuff!😎🎸👍😊
Sure thing Steve!
man that was a great way to unlock the secrets of such a fine player as Gilmour - great work :)
Thanks for checking it out!
Absolutely killer lesson! Thank you!!!! 🤘🏻❤️🤘🏻
You are welcome! Thanks for checking it out!
I went and seen ZZ Top on their blues tour way back when and Billy Gibbons version of Rough Boy was bone-chilling. I always knew him as a Freddie King guy and that's why I loved his playing but the stuff he did that night during Rough Boy was as rock'n'roll guitar God as I've ever heard. Super melodic and it was years ago but I remember staying on a note for what seemed like forever and when he would bend it the note would swell like he was using scalloped frets.
it blows me away that D.Gilmour & others have these melodies in their head & then re-produce it to the guitar. Then I say to myself, If I were around music all my life I probably could do the same. Maybe..!!
Learning arpeggios is an invaluable investment in study....you cant play bad notes when you play chord tones
They work extremely hard to get as good as they are. I am sure if put in the effort as well that you to can get there!
Really well done. The key. The clarity. Yes. I was just yesterday thinking about the vocal quality of good guitar phrasing in the context of Santa and Peter Green. Every time one of these huge doors is opened it’s so exciting. That which is precious about music becomes all the more so when the mystery goes from How is it done? to How brilliant that it IS done and that we get to revel in it. Thanks, Brett, for guiding the way.
Sure thing! Thanks for watching!
Great video..my top five guitar players would probably have to be Neal Schon, David Gilmour, Eric Clapton, Carlos Santana and Gary Moore..I love melodic, soulful guitar playing.
Thanks David. All great players you listed there! Gary ballad solos are so epic!
Freaking eye opening!
Sweet!
Thanks Brett. That was really helpful and I enjoyed the examples a lot. Cheers from San Francisco!
You are welcome Kevin!
Brett; I haven't always been a fan of your approach/style but; this video is superb! Great explanations and demonstration. Loved it.
Awesome! Glad you liked it!
With all that knowledge you make it look so easy MAESTRO!!!
Haha! I still work at it all the time too!
i’ll give it a try, thanks for the advice ✌🏻👍🏻
Sure thing Ron!
Excelent!!!
Thanks Maurice!
Ian already said what I was thinking. Thank you for the lesson, it’s really got me thinking. I made lots of notes to work on and think about. Thank you!!
You are welcome Marc!
Thank you, sir! Awesome lesson!
You are welcome!
I swear you are the best! I just had a OMG situation here. Add this to it( that's a joke) do the same solo but an octave by the nut end of the guitar. It's more of a visual things for us mere mortals. I love you!!!
Thanks for checking it out Ron! Glad you liked it!
Keep up the great work
Thanks! Thanks for watching!
Excellent lesson. Thanks bro.
Sure thing Richard! Thanks for watching!
Yaaaaaas Gilmour. My favourite player
One of mine too! More coming soon!
Still complicated for a beginner. But… this is far and away the most understandable lesson I’ve watched. Learning music is a lot like learning a foreign language. Except that we, or at least ‘I’, have a bit of sense of what’s right or wrong by hearing it. Well, sometimes. Ha
Thanks so much, Brett! You definitely earned a subscriber today. Thanks, to Mr Gilmour too! 👏🏼
