Style of David Gilmour

[walidb123]

he explains it really well. been playing for years but i always hated the theory.

[tokonjudo]

whats that you say "alien"

do it faster lol

[BiLL03590]

Very GILMORE ISH!

[bootleggershitkicker]

I wish I had this guy as a teacher in high school, he explains everything so well... I would be a fucking Harvard graduate right now. ughh.

[trile666]

thanks!

[FriendlyUploader]

Thank you for this wonderful video ! Great !

[Matte1011]

For those that are saying this is over their head, learn the major scale. 7 notes or the Do Re Me scale. Each of those notes is assigned a number 1 - 7 then 8 for the octave which is simply the first note but at a higher pitch to achieve the resolve. This way when he says major and minor 2nd, 6th, 7th, etc...you can understand that a minor is simply half a step or one fret lower than the major. The major scale is the basis for communication in music in terms of major, minor, flat, etc...

[Matte1011]

@Matte1011 Reason I say this is bc I have been playing for almost 20 years and got real good but I never knew what I was doing in terms of what I was playing. In the past 2-3 years I have been learning how it all connects with respect to theory, and it's real helpful and pretty easy to understand once you realize the Major Scale is the Sun in the musical galaxy.

[mangobanan]

@Matte1011 Good explanation!

[annabatarowicz]

I realy don't know who this guy is trying to reach I'n this lesson as this is far to complicated fir a begginer yet anybody more advanced would know this stuff already

[GasCityGuy]

Waaaaay over my head, but I still find it facinating. Unfortunately a lot of us can put the paint on the brush but don't have the abilty to make the picture.

[Mr1979longhorn]

@GasCityGuy My thoughts exactly lol



[panosthemaster]

very cool lesson!!

[jeffs1000]

okay, I need to come back in about 10 years to understand what he's talking aboutl.

[boilingpoint3]

The rolling stones always want to paint it black.

[bayonetemple]

deep analysis of music....inetersting and brilliant!

[HRHAF]

4:20...as long as you HEAR the COLOUR?

[taurus1269]

Great video. I think Mark Knopfler is in the same camp...though Gilmour is a lot cooler...in my opinion.

[flowerdrop1]

nice way of explaining things, thanks

[geoff101001]

wrong type guitar for trying to talk about david gilmour!

[JohnBruceGuitars1]

Heck what a dissapointment got my paintbrushes out and colours then some dude started playing a guitar!!!!!!!!!

[doodleguitarist]

David is my god. 

[VikingNightmare]

Thanks for the lesson... very helpful indeed :D

If people would take the time not to play shit from tabs and actually take the time to learn the quint circle, and actually analyze some music sheets, then they would understand the real value of this. Not the technique of the teacher is important, but the information he gives, of course that in 3 minutes you can't make up a solo like Gilmour, if it would be possible we would all be playing in bands with the success of Pink Floyd...

[flyinfingers1]

@VikingNightmare By quint circle I think you mean the circle of fifths, if you do I agree with everything you typed.

[VikingNightmare]

@flyinfingers1 yeah sorry, in my language it is called quint circle, quint meaning 5 :)

[boonexy]

jesus explaining in this way wont help much i don't think.

[Noseheros]

Any Colour You Like, even if it's Obscured by Clouds

[mahajohn]

There is not a single bit of information or playing in this video that has *anything* to do with insight into Gilmour's playing. Gilmour's immaterial spirit or bio-physical consciousness (or whatever you believe its nature to be) is the reason Gilmour plays and sounds like he does.

[mahajohn]

Where can I get these buckets that have modes and scales in them? Are they expensive? Does the CIA know about them? What happens if they fall into the hands of Steve Vai!?

[steenje]

No matter how well you know your theory, you'll never sound anywhere near

Gilmour.

[mahajohn]

@steenje Profound Truth! I was playing with a guy a few months ago, and he said something to the effect that he could play just like Gilmour, and it was then that I realized that he must either be totally delusional, or extremely self-aggrandizing. David Gilmour is where he is because NO ONE ELSE could ever do it. Even the dudes who play in the world's best Floyd cover bands never come even close to his work. As far as aping, Roger Waters' guitarist can do it, but he's still not Gilmour.

[steenje]

@mahajohn, thanks for your comment, you're right of course!

[sonicgsxr750]

gilmour is god

[drbilldc]

Kick ass lesson, good teaching style!

[Alchaeon1]

...apparently when Gilmour's son began learning the saxophone, David asked his son's teacher to also teach him the saxophone. It was then that David learnt the names of the scales he was playing on guitar all his life, He didnt know the names of the scales - scales which are many centuries old

[unaperrson]

I Decided Playing Loud Music Accelerated Learning; Ionian, Dorian, Phyrigian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian and Locian. Hope you find this mnemonic useful.

[Alessiosrv]

if you want a lesson of devid guilmour's style, use an stratocaster!!!!

[Alessiosrv]

if you want a lesson of devid guilmour's style, use an stratocaster!!!! idiot!!!

[MrOizo]

"In this LAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSON"

[007onlytaller]

You lost me at 0:45 Back to Marty.

[maju101]

This is exactly the kind of video i was looking for. Relatively high level of music theory but explained so lower level players like myself can understand it. Thank you!

[GuitarBlues3]

You can use Any Colour You Like.

[SlowhandDan1]

@GuitarBlues3 LOL! Nice!

[PinkGilmourFloyd]

@GuitarBlues3 nice...

[hesse13]

@GuitarBlues3 Good one! :)

[JHens925]

@GuitarBlues3 Which is in Dorian :)

[Alexiaden93]

@GuitarBlues3 Bob Ross?

[weetimbhoy]

boooooring

[motokev]

interesting way of teaching, very good

[TheGoliathsound]

You are a terrific music instructor.....very articulate...thank you!!

[iheardyoublowguys12]

this guy is tripping balls

[mbdgbt]

@iheardyoublowguys12 hahahahahahahahahaha

[chondestes]

The split screen while playing the scales reminds me of Pink Floyd Live at Pompeii ;)

[WakizashiSabre]

Although I am theory dumb, I really like the way it is explained here. Comparison to colors here is very nice and helpful. Thanks for the video.

[GKrizzel]

Dude, thank you soooo much. This was such an easy yet very effective lesson!

Nice. And I like the way you talk a bit philosophically about music but without coming off as wannabe-deep. Please continue making videos!

[42littlebit]

David is so cool.

[MrLino]

I really enjoyed this lesson, you don't do like the rest and just show some rip-off licks from a famous song of the specific artist, you actually explains scale that he uses, leaving to us the work of finding ourselves the licks, thus, enhancing our skills waaay beyond. It's like that old saying that says that when you want to help, you sohuldn't give the fish, but the fishing rod. Something like this. XD

[RockNRollRanter]

Thanks very much, good sir! This helps a lot.

[doradoe091]

good lesson, very thorough and very helpful for beginners!

[ibanezxiphos700]

@Dennizzz119

deminished? i hope i never take lessons from you, i can imagine your playing is quite generic and unoriginal

[Dennizzz119]

@ibanezxiphos700 Haha you havnt got a clue,

Take a look at it try to understand it and try to use it ;)

Then we'll talk again.

[ibanezxiphos700]

@Dennizzz119

learn to spell it before you use it, you silly moo. i think you should see my videos before you think you know it all

[sjutube6]

Great lesson! Very helpful way of explaning the modes.

[saxophonefreak101]

@4:57 you meant Dorian and Aeolian, right?

[BeatBay]

gr8 video. thx

[Aelliotb]

The guitar is beautiful, does anyone know what make and model it is?

[joesimmons90]

@Aelliotb It's some sort of Parker.

[JamPlayDotCom]

@Aelliotb That is David is a big fan of Parker guitars. I believe that is his Fly model.

[Shreddus]

@Aelliotb It is a Paker Fly :) I have owned a couple of Parkers Beautiful guitars, I actually use a Parker for recording and Live at the moment. nothing play quite like them.

[WyattTheGuitarist]

@Aelliotb It is a nitefly.

[dangerousprimate]

not enough playing, to show what you are talking about.

[GoblinasInShred]

error at 04:57, should be aeolian, not phrygian.

[tyler24000]

very nice, i like it!

[OnTheLavProductions]
