Gilmour also said, in an old interview, that he likes to sing his solos first. And he does "sing along" in the Wish You Were Here song during the solo, remember? Anyway, I'm a huge fan of David. I build his black, red and white strats and play his solos everyday! Thanks for what you do, Ian!

[@gobomanaga5615]

Love how you explain things, no theoretical nonsense, getting right to the point in teaching how an intuitive player can understand instead of how a professor would write it on a blackboard

[@StichMethodGuitar]

Thank you much for the kind words

[@joshuacumming4132]

1978 gilmour solo album. ‘There’s no way out of here.’ Unbelievable song. If you haven’t heard it, it bangs

[@TheFunkybert]

Ian, I’m so grateful for this interpretation of Gilmour’s style. Something clicked inside me the way you explained the phrasing. 🙏❤️

[@GreyMarano]

Gilmour!

[@alexokrayiii9689]

I love the "running towards the door" method. I am going to add that to my playing. Thanks for the new way of looking at it.

[@neilcampbell4833]

Gilmore is a legend. You don't need to play fast to sound good . Great lesson 👍

[@alekai2178]

Man you just blew my mind! And you discovered it through a dream which is wild! Tension and release is a huge aspect of Pink Floyd’s music, and this just added another great example. He’s building that tension towards the chord change…releases it on those spacious vibrato notes. Genius.

[@Sinnsonido]

Gilmour's solo in "Funky Dung", both live and in studio, is a virtual masterclass in perfect blues phrasing. IIRC it's a two chord vamp also...sounds like Gm7 & C7 on that one.

[@mikoelmongi]

You have been such a wonderful teacher over the years. Thanks you!

[@simonpratley3301]

Absolute gold Ian! I have watched this video several times. I want this to imprint on my brain to have this eventually come naturally. Thank you so much for your awesome lessons! 🎸

[@superreality3823]

Always happy to see your videos arrivè and this was a really great way to help us take a step forward in our playing. Thank you

[@TwinSphinxMusic]

Great video Ian! This is definitely a takeaway lesson here. Approaching the moment versus playing straight into it. And thinking of percussion while recording solo is gold. Thank you cheers mate

[@michaelroche8245]

Great concept Ian and delivered in such an illustrative way. Thank you again for all you do. You have transformed my playing and confidence in how I express myself musically, and I'm sure I'm not alone. You should be proud of your work, what it means to us, and your ability to pull out these musical observations and insights and convey it to the world. You're a gem. Thank you

[@mathlover2299]

Seriously I learn so many concepts and ideas that have improved my playing and made practice so much fun.

[@matthewfoster2684]

😂

[@matkatipo]

You Stitch, are the master of the musical metaphor. Thank you for sharing your wisdom.

[@manchesterdave]

I have to say, this is a very good music lesson here. Deeper concept of building phrases was very well explained. Thank you

[@cpost1558]

Love it Stich! What an incredible way to explain that style of how Gilmore plays. Awesome! Look forward to talking to you soon!

[@daveandrew589]

Je ne sais quoi = Secret sauce. Every Stich lesson is like a little gem picked out of an ocean of sand.

[@dongentry5895]

Spectacular way to relate his style!! Thanks Buddy

[@KWalshMusic]

Dude! Sir Ian! You just totally opened a door for me (and I've been doing this for over 40 years)! How did I not see this before? Thank you *so much* for this simple yet vital and fundamental observation. I'm pretty sure my lead playing just jumped up a notch or two!

[@moreykanner4781]

Ian you've done it again!! This is huge. Concept can be used in any soulo.. Thanks Bud.

[@MandyFlame]

Great explanation! And as soon as you added David’s signature bends, it all came together

[@richardcloe4139]

This guy needs more subscribers, you can tell the love of teaching he has. The way he teaches also, it's thorough and he makes it really easy to follow and understand. You're the man Stitch, glad you have given the time to give us the knowledge.

[@rickystuart8]

Love the back story to the video. This concept totally makes sense to his style of playing. Super useful idea. You’re the best out there Ian.

[@SirLollipopMann]

It's so cool that it came to him in a dream! The dream itself is cool too. Like talking to your own subconscious thoughts.

[@Matthew-Lewis]

Pure gold!👏👏👏 Thank you!!

[@adoubleU587]

Another Glorious FREE lesson from Stitch. Thanks pal! Loving it!

[@MustafaBaabad]

Thank you very much Ian. Very enlightening and it feels like you open-up new doors for the exercise to respect the timing. Cheers from Indonesia.

[@herrunsinn774]

Sage advice, my friend! It's such a simple concept, yet I probably would not have thought of it on my own. Thanks so much! 🎸

[@dr.buzzvonjellar8862]

Best lesson ever! Thank you Stitch!

[@meeno_the_man]

Yes! Lovely way to put oneself in a different head space so that the language can come through.

[@sungear]

For what it's worth, your bongo analogy really made sense to me. You're a top notch teacher!

[@macsattic7155]

Excellent breakdown of a cool way to think about phrasing

[@j.l.2849]

This is brilliant and insightful. Thanks!

[@andypearce5537]

You’re such a great teacher. Thank you! 🙏

[@TSFGRIT]

Those dreams be helping !! awesome video dude 🙌🙌. thank you!

[@darko714]

I’m really impressed by how easily you set up a loop with just the right groove.

[@canadianintheukbrian]

I seen David Gilmour live in Toronto 2016 your so right Ian about his soloing he's an incredible player to hear live, I been studying Cage Chord Tones and David Gilmour I think is this is brilliant further my understanding of chord tones and soloing , when I sign up for Pateron next month look forward to all the practice lessons , cheers Ian

[@adambrunner9462]

Yes we are on our way and it feels glorious. I've been playing, watching your vids, and been substance free for over 5 years now. I turn 50 in May and feel I'm really on the cusp of being a pretty damn good guitar player. Best feeling ever and I've felt them all if ya know what I mean! Thanks Ian hope to see you at a show someday!⭕

[@squeakeththewheel]

as Frank Zappa said, "Music is the best."

[@munkyman33]

Respect

[@Macopavo]

Great lesson. Thanks!

[@jasonnoyes9367]

You're great. I so enjoy learning from you.

[@toddboyer147]

I love this channel. Thanks.!

[@boomerdell]

This is great! Thanks, Ian.

[@TheXenProject]

Roine Stolt of The Flower Kings does pretty good Gilmour style solos (mixed with some Steve Howe rhythm). My father also told me one of the biggest secrets to Gilmour's solos are the places where he isn't playing. The tension followed by resolve.

[@georgetebbens3524]

Very helpful, conceptionally.

[@timrineholt3685]

Love the dream concept, I’ve had the same thing happen for me with Jiu Jitsu, just not guitar yet!! Am ready for that one to run into my head one of these nights. Can’t wait to test this doorway. We have been jamming a lot with “Breathe” and have fun with noodling out different paths through it. Thanks for your take!

[@chrisniell-el1rs]

Short, concise, intuitive been playing for “ages” I rarely find anything useful. Good stuff

[@AakashSrivastava13]

that was pretty interesting idea, will look into other PF solos with this in mind now!

[@tripeatin]

You're an amazing human Ian. Sending you love and gratitude. 💛🙏

[@ghfdt368]

Great video Ian! This is just helpful to make solos sounds better in general. Rhythm and timing of notes and phrasing totally changes the way a solo can sound. That lightbulb came on for me funny enough when I was listening to Peter Green when he was with John Mayal and the bluesbreakers. Their version of the stumble is absolutely dripping with this concept. Peter isn't playing anything special it's just major and minor pentatonics with some dominant 7 chord triads in there, but the way he phrases the lead work and the way he manipulates the rhythm makes it a very cool memorable song.

[@aprilreed9932]

This is a great idea to meditate on. Thanks!

[@Skipjacktunainacan]

Wow , what a great insight Thanks so much for sharing this

[@scrapperstacker8629]

Great video and great explanation of David’s technique.

[@derekd2841]

Damn I love how Gilmour played. Man just had soul while playing and if I can ever get even close to his style urg would be a dream.

[@anthonyifasi8026]

Another excellent lesson Ian!👍

[@bensprinks]

Wow! Great presentation!

[@timgosselin6984]

Incredible angle there, super helpful thanks!

[@jameswestmoreland9717]

Excellent analysis

[@justinbramwell2434]

Love this guys way of teaching 👍

[@chenrunzhi6825]

omg, this idea of hanging and rushing makes so much sense to me. Genius description!

[@rogeryoung2049]

Love all the guitars in the background

[@davidturoff8017]

This was good for expansion, thanks

[@DavidSmithMusic1]

Awesome as always

[@ianhaffenden-music7267]

This is so, so helpful and insightful, thank you so much.....

[@snowaterider]

This descibes my playing style exaclty since I was originally a percussionist. This was a very interesting video and a totally hot take on the guitar. Good stuff. This explains a lot.

[@bluesman272]

Approach a guitar solo like a bongo player. Mind Blown. Thanks that was amazing

[@gilmourrules1]

Well done!!!

[@thewindsniper]

Great video! Long time fan of the Method. You Rock Man, all the way down here in GA! Thanks for the wisdom

[@toddflowers8052]

Thanks Ian we appreciate it !!

[@peterhughes8699]

Good video Stichy - thanks for posting :)

[@rolandjgutierrez7737]

The lessons I have viewed this one imo is number one I am pumped up right now lights are flashing in my brain a person can run with this I'm going on a world tour with this lesson.thank you Mr.Stich...RocknRollFlat5

[@chrismcclary466]

Very well said!! Feeling it!! ;)

[@jimruell1375]

Awesome!

[@rolandjgutierrez7737]

I watched a vedio where David Gilmore said there is a great filing when onstage the power of the sound pushing on your back that you can lean onto it ..RocknRollFlat5

[@stevegroves]

Just discovered your channel, great stuff! Thanks for this vid it made me go grab my guitar

[@bsmith5433]

Brilliant!

[@andrewkratz226]

Profound stuff here. Thanks.

[@sirvicemanone]

Great lesson thank you

[@viStringTheory]

This is a brilliant lesson. Thanks! Thinking about my chord tone soloing from a rhythmic perspective rather than just from a melodic focus has opened up so much variance in my phrasing. I am spending time listening to tracks and paying thinking about solo phrases more like drum fills. Then I challenge myself to come up with a rhythmic fill and put notes to match it.

[@Kuhlyedascope69]

Been a viewer here for awhile something about your teaching style is extremely resonating.

[@Tonyboy3623]

Loved it Ian see where you see you coming from but he takes the feeling and becomes one with the guitar

[@EngRMP]

Very cool idea... thanks

[@Omegaman001]

Ian, I am so grateful that you are out here doing what you do. I think your thought processes, knowledge, and quite honestly, your kind and giving spirit, make you such an amazign person and teacher. I am someone who has wanted to play guitar for 40 years, but have never really progressed beyond knowing some chords and being continually frustrated and feeling bad about myself for not elevating on my guitar path. I have recently decided to take a more dedicated approach and I have begun watching your videos (again) to just try to understand where I need to begin, before I actually pick up my guitar again and start playing. Sometimes I find that I am just watching your vids and smiling or feeling better listening to you speak, bc you get it. You are in tune in more ways than just your guitar. (see what I did there :)) Anywho, any advice you can give an "old alter boy father", on where and how I should begin the life long dream to actually understand and play? Much thanks to you!

[@joen2521]

Great video... thanks for sharing

[@yoavhanuka2772]

That's a great observation man!

[@davidjackson777]

Thank you Thank you. Thank you!!!

[@METALMISFIT6]

Dude ..instant sub..your a rythmn master..i mean that sincerely

[@ltpstan]

Great concept! I think the idea is to have kinda like fast and slow passages in the correct space. And also, holding within a range of notes, creating tension and then scale up to give that euphoria explosive vibes. More like in waves and cycles..

[@divinicamaui8353]

Thank you Shaman🙏🏼

[@rays2794]

Explained brilliantly!

[@StichMethodGuitar]

Glad you liked it

[@MyPinkFloydian]

Finally someone gave me the key! I knew he was playing toward something whether a 3rd or 4th of the next chord or something. Yes nailed it! But ok percussion, I was on a vocal thing too. Great job and thank you

[@twoweary]

I love these kind of lessons. I can follow it pretty well but I’d love to see your target note flashed on the screen as you hit it. Great stuff.👍

[@periloustemple8290]

I totally love the dream part! I think you are spot on. In fact, a drummer mate of mine was auditioning for a PF tribute band (he's been in it 2 years now) as the drummer. My advice to him was similar to what you describe. I said listen to how Nick if following Dave during those dramatic solo sections. Eventually, there is no following b/c they are just flat out of 1 rhythmic mind, you might say. You did this along the way, but the other big secret is bending to those resolution notes from somewhere else (1/2's, whole's - 1 1/2's. . .). Thanks for sharing. This was fantastic advice. Listen up, classmates. Our boy is on to something. . . and it's all over the place in Chicago & lots of other blues. And be yourself - but work these ideas into your thing.

[@MrJamlee88]

Fantastic Ian ! Hope you are well 😉

[@StichMethodGuitar]

Doing great! Always awesome to hear from you.

[@btbb3726]

Great observation - and clearly communicated! Thanks! ~DG, “I have something to say/play and I’m not going to let convention keep me from saying/playing it. I’ll say/play what I have to say/play, and I’ll make it fit.” ??? Very conceptual but doable lesson! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@DaPoopIsInDaPudding]

Love Gilmour and your channel.

[@StichMethodGuitar]

Thanks man!

[@roadtorockstar7848]

The Dream blessed you! Thank you!

[@sonandar]

Amazing 🎉

[@SamlonHoldfield]

Great observation. Thanks.

[@justinreaser8268]

Nailed it, the guitar gods must be really pleased with you!!!
