Welcome to Learning To Play David Gilmour on Guitar! Follow me on my Journey! Video 1

[@alexandergennaro8596]

Why don't you just find your own style and quit trying to be like the rest, that's a real mind blowing experience finding what you are and capable of. Santana told me once and I'll never forget it, go on a journey and find the notes, hunt for them

[@LearningGilmour]

Because I like David Gilmour, and I want to play like him, I don’t play out, I’m not a professional and I do this for fun. So why don’t I find my own style? I’m not interested in starting a new style, I’m more than happy learning to play David Gilmour. Thanks for the comment and watching.. I do appreciate you.

[@herewegoagain7403]

How do I tell you, legendary guitarists and your fav guitarist who "found your own style", is heavily influenced by THEIR fav musicans. He wants to play like David Gilmour, all the more support I want to give. Santana is wrong, that's my opinion.

[@Ronno4691]

Another predictable comment, "Find your own style and set the world ablaze!", "I want to be the very BEST ME not XXXX because that's just got copying...' or the classic," I don't play other people's songs, I write my own while I work full time cleaning toilets" etc 😊

[@LearningGilmour]

Every single musician I know had a hero, Gilmour says he was inspired by Beck, And Leadbelly

[@SirSendys]

Oh God, Alex. I cannot imagine how good your guitar set is.

[@boatingforbeginners7949]

How wonderful & a HUGE welcome to our world of Rock n Roll buddy

[@LearningGilmour]

Gilmour is so amazing trying to learn his techniques is insane! I think I need 5000 watts behind me 😂😂😂

[@arthurpuente]

When you start to get it underneath your fingers it feels i amazing! I'll be following. Your right about perseverance it's worth it.

[@LearningGilmour]

I’m really starting to feel this now.. my fingers are trashed but I’m gonna make it happen… thank you so much for taking time out of your day to watch me. I appreciate..

[@seansutube5791]

David is the reason i picked it up too. Enjoy the journey.

[@LearningGilmour]

David is the reason I truly wanted to start learning for real. Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving a comment, it really helps out… any advice always feel free… I just scored tickets to two David Gilmour shows at MSG in Nov I’m so excited!

[@Chucky805GLS]

I am excited for you... I wish for the angels of music to visit your surroundings. They'll guide you to your goals. I am proud of you, brother... Have a fantastic journey to your dreams, and May you accomplish your desires...by the way beautiful guitar.

[@LearningGilmour]

Brother man, I don’t know who you are but you made me feel real Good and happy! I appreciate you watching and the super kind words! Any particular Floyd Gilmour song you really like? I hope you have a great everything! Thanks again!

[@seachild100]

Good luck! I'll be following along on the journey.

[@LearningGilmour]

Thanks so much for taking time out of your day to check me out.. I appreciate that.. it’ll be a great journey, lots of great songs to come..

[@josephmarkey9096]

Beautiful guitar. I spent 30 years trying to unlock David Gilmours technique and style. This is due to having no internet back in the day and not understanding the very basics of how he gets his sound. Shine On is a great starting place. You will learn all the bends, rakes and arpeggios David used to hallmark his style. My advice? Get an MXR dynacomp, an overdrive pedal and set it to just a smidge of drive. After that buy an MXR script phase 90. (the script version is the only one you should get as its phasing is very smooth). This will get you most of the tones from the Wish You Were Here album. The pedals will also help sculpt your sound a bit better so your hands will need to do less work. Particularly with the MXR dynacomp. Take your time and wallow in that strat neck pick up. Who cares about developing your own sound when you can feel the ultimate satisfaction of walking in David Gilmours sonic shoes! Its gonna be great! 😎

[@LearningGilmour]

Hey you should check out my video called “let’s check out my music room” I go over what stuff I have.. at the moment My pedal board setup is MXR Dynacomp-TS9 Tube Screamer-Big Muff Pi-MXR Prime Distortion-MXR Phase 95 comes with phase 90/95 with the script change-Boss CH-1-Gamma Warm Delay-Boss RC-1 Loop- into VOX AC10… He is a master bender! I tried learning starting in January with the gauge string he uses and my fingers were shredded… went to a lighter gauge for awhile now I’m playing his 10-48 boomers, with no problems… I have no interest in writing my own music, I love jamming with my friends and just having fun.. I love the neck and the bridge pickups on the Strat! I started putting the 5 way between position 5/4 gives a little different sound kinda cool… thanks so much for the conversation and watching I really appreciate it.. I try and respond asap but I’m a pool guy and it’s pool Closing season in Nj! Thanks again for being here!

[@markmclellan7146]

Very nice indeed. There's a moment when we see your face and it has joy written all over it...have fun. 👍🙂

[@LearningGilmour]

I was in a world of hell selling Lego for about three years. I had a KZbin channel with over 1000 people I had a store I had an online store I dealt with so many people in so much crap and so much toxicity. I was so happy to sell off every bit of Lego. I had an invest at all into guitar equipment, amplifiers pedals my own musical endeavor of learning to play the music that is brought me so much joy throughout my life I believe Neil Young summed it up the best in his song “I am a child”to quote “you can’t conceive of the pleasure in my smile” Thank you so much for for stopping by to watch listen comment it really means a lot to me and I really appreciate you

[@ransombaggins9301]

Good for you, man! Have a great time. Ignore the haters and negative comments. Have fun! Gilmour is an awesome guitarist to look up to.

[@LearningGilmour]

Thanks so much I appreciate you, I love his guitar style.. haters don’t hurt my feelings, there not family… thanks so much for watching and commenting it means a lot to me..

[@antoonhermans8953]

Well , good luck with you're guitar playing journey , i have played shine on with my band and gilmour / floyd is one of my favorites when it comes to music , the strat looks great so have fun , shine on will take some time to learn though , the best way to go is to learn it bit by bit and then string it together later on . Greetings from Holland .

[@LearningGilmour]

Exactly what I’ve been doing bit by bit. I’ve been taking about 4 to 8 bars at a time and just working through it. I’m now on day 73 of learning and I’ve got the whole song down minus the sack solo at the end it’s still coming along but I should have it completed within the next few months I’d say very nicely. I certainly love David Gilmore, leave a link to your band you’re more than welcome. Thanks so much for watching and listening and commenting. It really means a lot to me. Have a great weekend.

[@glenbray1609]

Dont let negative comments bother u ..live out your dream .nothing wrong with having a hero to learn from

[@LearningGilmour]

No way brother! Never do! I do t mind negative comments… grains of salt… I appreciate you stopping by and listening to me for a bit, watch some of my progress if you get a chance… have a great week!

[@glenbray1609]

@LearningGilmour looking forward to seeing your progress.

[@LearningGilmour]

Thanks man I appreciate I get a lot of negativity here people telling me to walk away from the guitar I suck this and that.. oh well I guess the only person I feel Bad for is my wife if I suck this much and she has to listen to me all the time 😂😂

[@jamescronkhite4064]

I am a huge Gilmore fan and I have been planning for years recently I decided to learn his style of playing I can tell you it’s harder than you think to get it right

[@LearningGilmour]

I don’t think it’s easy at all.. I think I started to learn comfortably Numb and had to bow out for right now.. it took me 73 days straight o learn Shine On I though hell comfortably numb shouldn’t be a problem after learning this… I was so wrong… what a different beast! A monster to try and tame! Rakes, plucks, pics, slides, bends! I had to step Down for a bit till my skills improve before attracting comfortably numb.. I’ll probably work on High Hopes next.. Thanks so much for commenting and watching the videos I really appreciate it and it helps my channel A lot!

[@jamescronkhite4064]

@@LearningGilmour hey I hear you loud and clear it has taken me about 2 months to get shine on to a point that it sounds ok but I’m somewhat of a perfectionist and I am still working on it comfortably numb was difficult to get right but I am still not satisfied I will keep trying to get it better Good luck I think my next move is dogs

[@LearningGilmour]

If I can complete Comfortably Numb I’ll be working on Have a Cigar

[@piperofsimms]

This is fantastic. Did you know Gilmore's "Blackie" sold at auction for over 3 million ? I learned "Time" and "Money" and they were so damn fun! Feeling those tasty bends at your fingertips will be thrilling. You picked a perfect guitarist to study. I'm so happy for you. That black on black strat is awesome.

[@LearningGilmour]

Thank you so much for taking your time to watch my channel! Really means a lot to me! I love David Gilmour, and I find his music amazing! I think his black Strat sold for over 20 million.. crazy right, I want to say 21 million. Those are also great songs I plan on learning as well. Thanks again for all the positivity!

[@pjincho]

Also started my real learning after 20 years by learning Numb. Holy shit it’s tough!

[@LearningGilmour]

Hey thanks so much for tuning in I really appreciate it! The comments really help.. yea it’s been awhile I’ve been playing, but yea making it a daily thing now, and actually learning, I’m having such a great time…. And yea I’m up to bar 176 on the second solo and it’s just so tough for me as I have no real musical training…. I’ll get it though… thanks much for watching, have a great week!

[@Fred-gi4uz]

Nice guitar choice, enjoy the journey

[@LearningGilmour]

Thank you kind sir, I love it, and I’m having a great time, thanks so much for stopping by and commenting in, I really appreciate it.

[@matthewtyler-jones8317]

This is a great idea. You have me as subscriber and watching you on your journey. I am not into Gilmore or Floyd *per se* but I am finding a greater appreciation of the music as I go on my own guitar journey. (I am learning from in my late 50’s) I recently started to learn a bit of Shine On too, no ambition to learn the whole thing yet but it’s fun to noodle around with

[@LearningGilmour]

Hey, thanks so much for stopping by checking out what I got going on taking a listen and see what you think. Yeah I’m I’m into a lot of music not just David Gilmour, but I’m kind of into learning his specific style of lead playing for right now, as I found throughout my life, I’ve always tried to be a very fast guitar player, and I feel like learning David Gilmour has really taught me to slow down and I think slowing down is a big key to learning properly. I’m having a great time. I hope you as well do really well I’m 44 so it’s not like you’re starting really late I’ve been playing for a while, but nothing near Leeds of any sort, thanks so much for stopping by and commenting. I really appreciate it.

[@clintwilson6380]

Dang, awesome guitar☆

[@LearningGilmour]

It’s so nice, I love it, feels great, thanks so much for taking your time to check out the channel.

[@Ottophil]

I have a black strat with a maple neck also because of pink floyd. I think HSS strats are better. Some may argue with that. But they can play what they want. I like humbucker strats. You can still get that gilmour neck pickup tone all day at the flick of a switch

[@LearningGilmour]

It’s been such a sweet guitar so far.. no complaints really.. the 5 way switch was a little tight at first but it feels really nice and sounds great..thank you so much for taking your time to watch my channel. I appreciate you..

Same boat my brother, just starting on comfortably numb.

Being that “Comfortably Numb” was rated guitar magazines best Guitar Solo ever, I thought I’d hold off on that one for a bit… congratulations on taking on that beast! My man puts a lot of emotion behind that song!! Would love to see some video updates of your progress. Make a channel, I’ll join.. thank you so much for taking your time to watch me, it’s really humbling to know others appreciate watching people learn…

[@mattj6676]

Good luck, you picked a great one to focus on!

[@LearningGilmour]

Thanks so much! It takes on a personal thing for me, as this song was 100% about Syd, this song for me helps me remember those I’ve lost through the years, and I felt like this song just touched my soul.. I can’t tell you enough how excited I am am and Honored I am that you take your own time to watch my channel.. it means the world to me! Thank you!

Theres just something uniquely special about a strat or tele.

I would have to agree with you 😁

It’s the tone those two guitars put out for me it’s heavenly so captivating when you have your amp dialed in 😮‍💨

[@LearningGilmour]

@@TheNimbusCloud I agree again, now for me to dial in my tube amp, so new to tube amps… I’m a little intimidated..

[@TheCleaner6969]

Good luck on your journey. I use to play. Back in 2015 I started to re-learn how to play lefty. It's been a long journey & I'll never play like I use to but it's fun & you're right anything is possible & anyone can learn. I started my Intro/Riff lessons for other beginners. Too many guitar teachers forget they were beginners at one time. When you know something you tend to fly through things.

[@LearningGilmour]

Why did you stop? Did you loose a limb? Or accident? Play lefty, we all know some epic lefty players…I really watched shine on you so many times and said no way I’ll get this, and the more time and slow progress I put in the more I get out… I’ve never taken a lesson, and I wanted to but my brother in law and father taught me some basics.. it’s amazing to have this much love for music! Thank you so much for taking your own time to spend watching my progress, it really means a lot to me. Thanks!

[@TheCleaner6969]

@@LearningGilmour It was an accident that caused me to stop playing. I seen some people worse off then me playing & thought I should try. In the beginning being everything's backward it's like I didn't know chords or where anything is at. I am self taught as well. I can't read music but a lot of players can't. I never thought I'd strum it's a strange feeling. Palm muting is really hard but it's fun takes your mind off things. I loved music since I was a kid. You're doing great & sounding great! I enjoyed watching the progress you made in a short time. If you're into Queen I have a video up that shows how to make a Treble Booster that would go sweet with that Vox. Very simple circuit.

[@LearningGilmour]

That’s awesome, so glad you’re still trying to play, never let the music leave your soul..

may i suggest Mother for first solo, then first solo of Comfortably Numb

[@LearningGilmour]

Mother is def not David Gilmour and I’m almost 1000% sure comfortably Numb will be the hardest solo, as it was rated by guitar magazine as the pulse version, the greatest solo ever..

Yoour bridge pickup is wrong type? Maybe it has a coil switch to slect single coil on the bridge? Anyway, nice Strat, nice goals, will watch you. 👍

[@LearningGilmour]

What do you mean the bridge pickup is the wrong type? I’m using an HSS? Gilmour played both the SSS and the HSS .. but yes his black strat was 3 single fat 50s.. I watched a documentary on his black strat, free on KZbin it’s really interesting, he had that guitar cut apart, rebuild, 5 new necks, the back taken off, new tremolo etc.. great documentary… Hey I really appreciate you taking your time to stop by and watch and listen, it really feels good to get others perspectives and advice. As a new player in there 40s it’s not easy and I probably slipped into some bad habbits over the years… thanks again.. I appreciate you.

[@wizrom3046]

@@LearningGilmour Actually dude I was teasing a bit because you has HSS Strat. 😁 My HSS Strat has a pullout knob switch that turns the humbucker into a single coil, so it can give more Stratty sounds when needed. It is really worth adding that mod if you dont have it. It just runs the front coil of the bucker (coils furthest from bridge) which is a similar position to a Strat bridge pickup (mostly).

[@LearningGilmour]

I have the Yamaha Pacifica 112v as well and that one has a tap on the third coil to split it to single when you pull the tone knob up… I’ll look into the mod … thanks
