Here’s the second full lesson in my new “Solo Studies” KZbin series, in which I transcribe and teach classic guitar solos.
Since I toured for many years with both Brit Floyd and The Australian Pink Floyd Show (TAPFS), I thought I would start with some classic David Gilmour and teach you how to play the solo from “Have A Cigar” from the “Wish You Were Here” album.
#PinkFloydGuitarLesson #HaveACigar #HaveAGigarGuitarLesson
Incidentally, I'm left handed, but I horizontally flip my tuition videos in order to make them easier for most "normal" people to follow.
The guitar and pickups were hand-built by Dave Walsh at Eternal Guitars & Hot Rod Pickups in Chichester, UK.
I am also using a Kemper Profiler, Elixir Strings and Hawk Picks.
I hope you enjoy this lesson. There's much more to come very soon, so hit subscribe for regular content, including twice weekly lessons from my "Lickorama" series.
Cheers,

I'm pretty sure David Gilmour watches your videos to remember how to play his own solos. You are the best online Bobby.

[@BobbyHarrisonGuitar]

Thank you very much!

[@MarcGoudreau]

I'll not hear a more pitch perfect rendition of Gilmore's piece on Have a Gigar. Beautifully done :)

[@BobbyHarrisonGuitar]

Thank you so much!

[@user-sr9fo7nc1z]

Man your technique is incredible u nail everything u play especially pink floyd iv been studying gimours guitar solos for 25cyrs years and I'm still learning by ear he's music I appreciate your lessons yur best on pink floyd very accurate and original thank u

[@jacobcastro1885]

This got to be the single most underrated solo of all time. 👍

[@genaroolivieri4361]

YES

[@MariannSkears-jv7gh]

Definitely one of my favorites.

[@ifensler]

I really want to thank you for this video. I'm still working on the solo. I haven't been playing that long, but it's the first time I have really made my guitar screech like that and actually sound great! It felt so good that I started laughing. I have been waiting my whole life to feel that.

[@BobbyHarrisonGuitar]

Thank you very much!

[@kylebowley7184]

Nothing better then hitting them bends bang on sweet music to the ear drums 🎸🤘🏻

[@splitwesti]

Cheers for that. Going to start working on this asap. Shame you left Brit Floyd. My dream job

[@texasaggie8449]

Reminds me of a smoke filled’69 chevy van in ‘76 down by the lake

[@love2learn4life]

You just kicked some serious ass there Bobby! Damn! I've been playing almost a year so I suck, but I know just about every Pink Floyd song to the note in my head& I hope to God someday I can do what you just did!

[@BobbyHarrisonGuitar]

Thank you very much much.

[@deleted8334]

so im picking up the guitar again after many years of absence...i was watching this video and palying along amd now i got a giant blister across the tip of my left ring finger.probably from all the crazy bends in this song and my fingers not being conditioned.

[@floyd_fanatic]

I've been playing for a year and a half and have learned this in a day, In a DAY! I couldn't for the life of me think I would ever learn a solo in a day. Thanks a ton, Bobby!

[@BobbyHarrisonGuitar]

Thank you very much.

[@titan10377]

Génial ta reprise Bobby, j j'adore. 😀

[@mariannskears1733]

Beautiful

[@michaelrollins5299]

Thank you Bobby for your dedication and talent!! There was a couple of parts I couldn’t figure out by listening. Got it down now thanks again!!!

[@moom2k829]

I just love that you taught the entire solo with the fade away in the end, which is one of my fav parts of the solo itself, true respect to the solo 👏💯❤️

[@rockdinosaur666]

Excellent. Comprehensive breakdown of what sounds like a basic solo but actually has a loads of Gilmour nuances in it. Thanks for that.

[@chunguslavaniaobama8881]

This was amazing!!! I learned so much thank you!!!!!!

[@craigstacey391]

Just started this. One of the best lessons I’ve done. Playing for about a year now. Thx so much for sharing your talents so we can all learn.

[@eggman1978]

Yup this is the tutorial il be learning from! Well played sounds right on the money! Wait no money is a whole different solo 😁. Thanks for this great thing.

[@BobbyHarrisonGuitar]

Ha ha! Cheers, Paul!

[@cindyfarrar7747]

I don't want to learn to play ,but l just love watching your fingers move on the guitar. You are awesome Boddy! Keep up the good work........

[@eddiesaenz8989]

Mr. Harrison you rock !!!it’s players like you and many others Page,, SRV,,It’s you guys that influenced me to pick up the Guitar!!! Keep up the great work!! keep bringing the great videos

[@princephilip-v5t]

This is a fantastic tutorial. Im only half way through and it's so much fun. I like how quickly it moves at the drum roll after the first funky chord bit, into the classic Gilmour lick e minor 1 position. I struggled with the timing but when you get it, WOW what a thrill. Dont hesitate in you go! So funky!. Thanks Bobby, great teaching. I will check out the courses I think.

[@HelloMrTosh]

Dude you've made learning this solo so easy to keep track of and I'm definitely coming back to learn more stuff!

[@therickroller2358]

I love this kind of lesson, doesn't try to make it easy just tells you what was on the record and trust you to get there with practice! Definitely saving this thanks!

[@JYMelody]

Superb cover. keep it !

[@BobbyHarrisonGuitar]

Thank you very much.

[@cyndisue8877]

[@streamofconsciousness5826]

Lesson is : Phrasing, interesting how he finds a couple of notes and rides them, that's a great lesson on the pentatonic box and the Frying Pan when he extends it down and goes behind the 12 fret. I have tried to play along with this lead a few times for fun and it's seemed like he was in a lot more positions.

[@lovefuct]

Of your 4.3k views for this lesson, I've got at least 1,000 of those. Took me several weeks and I'm almost there. Thanks Bobby!!

[@Neptuno7501]

*_Thx Bobby_*

[@ericmohler5609]

Amazing man. Most of this is just pretty standard Pentatonic stuff but how you’re able to navigate through such similar riffs over and over and the whole thing adds up to such an iconic solo. Same with comfortably numb…such a skill. Just blows me away.

[@BobbyHarrisonGuitar]

Thank you very much!

[@thisisdumb]

Thank you so much. I have been relearning parts of Floyd Solos after I found your videos. You should do one that no one really has a video of next. Like Echoes, One of these Days, or Astronomy Domine

[@chooba77]

wow cool thnx

Whew that demo rocked

[@danielcichello4421]

THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@kiddi3smalls]

Finally someone did a lesson on this!!!! Love you pal

[@kiddi3smalls]

There’s plenty of Floyd solos out there still with no lessons. Pigs, dogs, great day for freedom, what you what from me, thin ice, echoes(lol), and atom heart mother funky. Obviously I’m not asking you to do all hahah but if you can just do a lesson on pigs a lot of us Floyd geeks would appreciate it. No one out there is good enough to cover it I guess haha

[@BobbyHarrisonGuitar]

Cheers! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@BobbyHarrisonGuitar]

Cheers. Pigs has been on my list for a long time, along with Dogs. Hopefully I'll get around to it soon.

Thank you very much, Lu.

Hi Bobby, please make a video of where you tell and show how to play the guitar in the funky part of the song echoes. I really like your performance and I would like to learn how to play it like you!

[@mahmoudabdelmegid8111]

You played a beautiful solo of your own in Red Rocks brit floyd concert..another brick on the wall was the song..please, share it with us. It was awesome.

[@Farshad-Parvin]

Been waiting for this tutorial forever. Thanks Bobby, you are awesome. Also Could you do The Doors Light My Fire as well? Appreciate it man. Cheers.

[@BobbyHarrisonGuitar]

Thanks very much, Farshad. I'm making a list of song tutorials to film. Hopefully I'll have them filmed and uploaded soon.

[@anthonyangelis1094]

This is such an incredible lesson! thank you Bobby! You are my favorite teacher by far. I was wondering if you could do a short lesson on the ‘mother’ solo. There’s plenty of online stuff but I would like to have you teach the mother solo. And especially the extended version which I can’t find anywhere -I saw a great KZbin video with David Gilmour and Roger and he did an extended version of the mother solo, which sounds really great. I wish it was played all the time. Are you familiar with the extended version of the mother solo? Anyway thank you again for all your awesome lessons.🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️🎸🎸🎸👍👍

[@anthonybymallia7067]

Your brato is magnifico'

[@andreysonj]

Sh1t ! That's amazing! I've spending some time in other lessons but none of them fitted so well to what I can actually listen on the album. Thank you so much! Now I`ll dedicate myself to learn it, not sure if my strings will handle so much bends though.

[@BobbyHarrisonGuitar]

Thank you very much!

[@BobbyHarrisonGuitar]

Thanks. It's certainly on my list when I do my next batch of filming.

[@stephanek8813]

Nice job and thanks for the tuto... I love this song.. Maybe you would sell the tab?

[@rickroll1226]

Bobby you fucking killed that

[@baltpit2439]

Great lesson!! What pedals are you using for this tutorial?!?

[@jamesmccourt9782]

You could also play the role of John Paul Jones... In a tribute band... :)

[@Shoeescraper]

Well, that was the most accurate transcription of this solo I’ve ever seen. Beautifully played at the start too. What pickups are you using?

[@BobbyHarrisonGuitar]

Thank you very much. The guitar was hand built by Eternal Guitars in Chichester UK. They also make pickups under the name of "Hot Rod Pickups". The set in this guitar consists of two "Timeless" single coils in the neck and middle positions and the amazing "S92" in the bridge.

[@dalejr183]

Nice fender and solo. That an old one?

[@holyjesus3148]

yooo awesome lesson, quick question what have you done to master that guitar sound? is it a certain pedal?

[@transtech2375]

Beautiful Guitar, is it a Custom shop?

[@LysanderLH]

On the album it sounds like a Tele through a Muff and Phase 90. Would that be right?

[@darthwaters9327]

Hello Bobby! I very like your style and I'll follow this lesson to learn the solo. I have to practice a lot the funky rhythm part because I'm not very familiar with it. Anyway, can I ask which sound are you using? Is a little bit crunchy, isn't it? Or something else? Thank you in advance! You Rock! Greetings from Italy!

[@BobbyHarrisonGuitar]

Thank, Darth. I used a Kemper Profiler. I think it was just a Marshall Plexi model, with a few tweaks.

Is there a lesson for the Rhythm for this lesson?

[@onemorething100]

Not an easy solo although you make it look easy.

[@Farshad-Parvin]

I doubt it if Gilmore himself could reproduce those funky parts! Especially the last part, seems like a different take mixed to the rest of the solo. Could be he played it like that at some point but couldn't replicate it as good ever again!

[@SuperDiddzz]

Have you snapped a string yet! lol. Just have to say blinding Bobby, thank you once again.

[@BobbyHarrisonGuitar]

I actually did snap a string during my first take. Had to change the whole set a start again.

[@SuperDiddzz]

LOL. It's going to happen what ever strings you use. Just out of interest what strings do you use?

[@BobbyHarrisonGuitar]

Elixir Nanowebs, gauge 10-52.

[@SuperDiddzz]

Sorry to be a pain but are your pickups standard? I use E B strings on my Ibanez. but will try Elixir Nanowebs.

[@BobbyHarrisonGuitar]

The pickups and the guitar were hand built by Dave Walsh at Eternal Guitars & Hot Rod Pickups in Chichester. They're the best guitars and pickups I've ever used. The pickup set consists of Hot Rod Pickups "Timeless" single coils in the neck and middle and and "S92" single coil in the bridge. They're just brilliant. I have a bunch of demo videos on my channel that I made for Eternal Guitars & Hot Rod Pickups.

Thanks man, this is one of those Gilmour solos that is so tricky re: phrasing. Are you the guitarist from Brit Floyd? The Live at Red Rocks show is absolutely phenomenal.

[@mattgilbert7347]

If you are from Brit Floyd *applause*

[@BobbyHarrisonGuitar]

Thanks, Matt. I was in Brit Floyd, but I left in 2015. That's me on the Red Rocks DVD though. I'm left-handed, but I flipped this video.

[@mattgilbert7347]

@@BobbyHarrisonGuitar I love that show. You, Damien & co. absolutely killed it. I must have watched it 20 times. "Dogs" was perfection! Well done, mate. Srsly. Thanks for your reply.

[@mattgilbert7347]

@@BobbyHarrisonGuitar I'd love to know your "rig rundown" for that show. I think musicman Strat and a Blackstar amp, but that's all I could see. Suppose it's trade secrets? Everyone wants that Gilmour lead tone, myself included. It's so elusive. I presume he achieved a lot with sheer volume.

[@BobbyHarrisonGuitar]

Hi Matt. Do you mean the Red Rocks show? I was using a Suhr Custom S-type into a Cornford MK50 mkII head with a TC Electronic G System handling all of the delays, reverbs and modulation. I think I had a few pedals too. Definitely a Suhr Riot and a Shiba Drive and maybe a Keeley Compressor, but it's a long time since I've used that setup. I don't even own a G System anymore. I later moved onto a Fractal rig, but now I tour with a Kemper Profiler because it sounds amazing and is so easy to tour with. I've never subscribed to this purist ideal that in order to play Pink Floyd music, you need to duplicate Gilmour's rig. Few who feel that way have never tried to lug something of that scale and size around the world and those that have, usually have a tech to do it for them and a backup for everything. In my experience, achieving the desired sound is infinitely more about the player than the gear. The more moving parts you add, the higher the chances of something breaking. Also, I've seen people with all the gear who sound nothing like the man himself. A lot can be achieved with a good basic tone (be it valve or digital), the required effects and good ears and fingers.

Hey mate U r good and detailed mostly when teaching but you go off on stuff that has no relevance and spend more time about that then jump throu the section quick as or on the most basic part explain nothing but take ages and then jump into ay technical part and zoom throu it,, jus my thoughts but pretty good any way

[@BobbyHarrisonGuitar]

Err...Okay...

[@parmariet]

Why not say the notes and their functions ? Numbers are worthless

[@BobbyHarrisonGuitar]

I do think in terms of intervals, not fret numbers. Unfortunately, the tab generation largely depends on 'painting by numbers' without any real context. It’s impossible to cater to everyone. If I explained the intervallic function of each note, the video would be 10 hours long and people would probably complain about the length.

[@alexbowman7582]

If you have to watch a video to learn the solo then you can’t play it.
