There’s no question that Musty’s channel is a superb scholarly resource for all things relating to David Gilmour’s guitar style. However, listening to the emphasis on practising particular songs, solos or techniques hundreds of times, I felt a qualm. I formed and fronted a successful tribute band to Free. Paul Rodgers was an is a vocal hero of mine. But, despite the hundreds of times I’ve listened to or performed certain songs, a point came when I recognised that no two voices are the same and anyway, I wanted to write, record and perform my own own songs. The same principle applies to guitar playing, I think. If your aim is to imitate DG as closely as possible then it’s true that huge amounts of practice may be necessary. But in some people this will activate a disabling kind of perfectionism. I suspect that, if DG had tried with all his might to sound like (say) Jimmy Page, he wouldn’t have developed into his style so fully. I suppose the conclusion is, learn what you need for whatever your purpose is then move on.

I like you a lot man. I'm a huge fan of David Gilmour and your contribution to promote his style is enormous. Your feel for a music and technique is outstanding.

Joining MustyGuitar's Patreon was the BEST decision I've made in 2024... after getting the right gear, i have started learning & playing my favorite songs with the RIGHT TONES... sounding like David Gilmour, because I was able to easily find short videos which clearly show the amp & pedal settings... but there's much more... there is SO MUCH TO EXPLORE!!! $51... are you kidding me?!?

[@dojyaan.0]

From my understanding, the Gilmour sound is mostly in the fingers/phrasing(vibrato/bends not what Musty Means). Next comes compression. Then delay. Then overdrive. Then fuzz or big muff. Then a Stratocaster/single coil pickups. Those are the key parts. I own a Squire Affinity Strat, a Zoom G1x4, and a Fender Rumble Bassman 40 watt amp, and I'm getting most, if not all David Gilmour tones. I started playing in January 2023 and I've learned a lot from Musty, but mostly by ear. But Musty is right. Tones mostly comes from gear. Thanks for these videos Musty.

[@dojyaan.0]

Also never stop practicing.

[@Musicman3832]

Rock on friend. I started playing in June of 2022.

[@scrap_iron_2264]

Both of you rock on! We need more guitar players in this world

[@jesseferguson8668]

We're all here because of the time and work you put into learning these songs and tones. Don't feel like you are bragging by saying how much you do to be able to sound incredible

[@onegirl_oneguitar]

An awesome reminder of what i need to do thankyou 🙏Mustafa and thanks to you we have so much more help and excellent advice from you than you prob ever did. As you Patreon, I couldn't have come this far so quickly without your tons of pedal and tone lessons, personal advice and guides, alternative pedals, just so much to learn from your hours of patience and knowledge. I agree 100% with the comment you highlighted, "when you step into your world it's like stepping into Disney World, surrounded by wonder and endless possibility to accomplish" so well captured Dave Joyce

[@FokC352]

Eh, idk about the gear stuff. You have to imagine that if you give gilmour any type of guitar with any sort of effects and gear it will still sound like him. Sure, gear brings you close because it can offer you the immersion you need to actually hone your phrasing and fingers and note choice and all that. The gilmour sound isn't in the "colour" of the tone but rather the note choice, the phrasing and the mindset. Idk if that made any sense lmao but I absolute love that there are more people like me out there absolutely fascinated and consumed by how different Gilmour sounds from any other guitarist. Good job!

[@douginny]

Great video. Patreon Member. So I am in a PF cover band and you have helped me tremendously. Can you look at the Friedman BE OD pedal for Time into BD2? It sounds amazing! I actually bought the Jam Phrase and Friedman I think nails it better. It's NOT an Overdrive. The gain can be adjusted to make it between Distortion and Fuzz.

[@stephenduffy3309]

@mustyguitar love it!!!! We said especially on the picking!! Please do a "scattered" tutorial acoustic and electric .. probably the best gilmour song!

[@Teoandor]

thanks for the video! trying to sound like david gilmour for a while now.

[@imikewillrockyou]

I love Gilmour's sound, and I know it is absolutely a strat sound. I'm just more of a Gibson player, although I do own a strat. Great video, I'll give a go! And I do slide into the HUGE bend for another brick in the wall solo, mostly because I don't like to break my strings, not that I can't do it LOL

[@PaulBoden-f2m]

I'm loving this.

[@NeonBlade]

Great video! Tone is in the guitar strap

[@andrewpappas9311]

I find that the Lace Sensor pickups in my Strat get me pretty close to Gilmour’s tones as well as my Boss OD-1X for his drive tones, I was also really happy with the fuzz tones I got from my EHX Big Muff Pi but after buying my EHX Ram’s Head Big Muff last summer that’s gotten me way more spot-on and I still love it (also my MXR Phase 90 and Uni-Vibe instantly get me those iconic Shine On/Have A Cigar/Comfortably Numb and DSOTM Breathe/Time/Us & Them tones and I couldn’t help happier with them)

[@Domn879]

You are an excellent addition to KZbin friend.

[@mustyguitar]

I think YOU are an excellent addition to KZbin comment section friend.

[@JorgeCampos12345]

I have the gear, ive learned a lot from you and Bjorn, my main problem is, i never learned how to play using a pick 😂 im curious to record myself to see how much of a difference it will be... for instance, im learning Have a cigar right now, and i guess certain parts of the main solo will not be the same without using a pick.

[@ericgardner5969]

Never to late to learn! I’m a pick guy, never bothered with finger style. But now I’m trying to learn. It’s tough but I’ll get it down sooner or later

[@wellingtonaraujo9824]

I own a Tagima Memphis MG32 stratstyle, with stock caps (cheap ones) and I'm trying to get gilmour tones. I was learning Time solo and playing it with a Mosky Mini Muff, a Demonfx Tube Screamer boosting the Muff; a Caline Simon Super Delay (analog mode), and a Flamma Reverb FC02 (hall mode).. all that plugged in a Hartke GR30 (30 watts 1x12 speaker). The sound I'm getting is nice, but I find it's not there yet.. Maybe with a better caps and a little more practice.. These chain effects is right? Or is there some pedal missing or not needed?? In time, this channel is the best for Gilmour tones on KZbin!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@DarksideoftheSteve]

It's official...MustyGuitar is the new Gilmourish 👍

[@TheAggroculture]

[@douginny]

Hey bro. Can you talk more about the Trem setup. Is it set for only dives or is it floated?

[@chrissguitarshow206]

[@DavOP]

Hi! Thanks for the videos and effort you put into them. I was wondering if you have tried boss ir 2 for gilmour tones.

[@captie]

nice slippers in 2:01 like my moms haha

[@leandrogerones3739]

I admire your job. How do you set the stratocaster knobs (tones and volume)??. thank you from Argentina!!!!!

[@mustyguitar]

volume is always at max for lead stuff, on a vintage style pickups, tone knobs are mostly maxed, on EMG pickup, SPC depends on the song and EXG is always off.

[@Darlo86]

Iv been playing guitar less than a year, iv learned poles apart solo, time, majority of shine on. In the flesh. Making a starton wish you were here. Is it possible to replicate all those sounds from the pedals using a boss katana with tone studio. Thank you

[@mustyguitar]

I really need to get my hands on boss katana to make a video

[@Darlo86]

@ for me iv bought a few pedals but again im pretty noob. So found it much easier with the boss, hooked up to my laptop using studio. Also downloaded patches from dedicated groups on FB. And thanks for the videos and tips theyve been amazing and improved my playing. Im no professional but the time iv been playing im really not interested in learning anything but Gilmour solos, and KZbin has made that happen. My plan is to master some of my favourite solos and by next summer play them to my family in the garden, big speakers, smoke, some lasers 😂 just need to master the Pinch harmonics(so hard) fingers are sore as hell but i love it. Thanjs again. And will be joining your Patreon 🤟🤞👍

[@willstooksbury1477]

All you need to sound like gilmour is a clean amp, maybe a compressor, fuzz face and delay, along with 200-300ug of acid

[@willstooksbury1477]

They are not a drug orientated group

[@mg8224]

Can you hit those bends with 10 gauge strings on 25.5 scale?

[@smashing_Bass]

I paired my neck and Bridge pickups. What's ur opinion about that?

[@JoãoSilva-d5i]

Ei Musty: Excelente Vídeo, como sempre!!! Tu és um dos verdadeiros, embaixadores do David Gilmour. Obrigado pela tua partilha, daquilo que tu e nós adoramos, David!! Tens sido uma inspiração e ajuda para mim!!! Com toda a minha humildade, te agradeço, tenho aprendido muito sobre o Dave, por tua causa

[@Mark-yc9ne]

The one main important reason you don't sound like gilmour... is that your not David Gilmour.. you can have all the effects and gear that you want ... you don't have his fingers ..but you're a very talented player and sound great 👍

[@LeopoldinoMarcelo]

Como eu não tenho o fuzz e apenas o Cube Baby, tenho que usar um pouco de overdrive kkkk

[@AlessandroSulBrazil]

No Patreon vc tem alguma dica de como montar o SET Gilmour com plugins, infelizmente aqui no Brasil eu teria q vender uns 5 orgãos para conseguir um pouco do equipamento nescessario, acho que 5 é pouco, teria q vender a alma! kkkkkkkkk Mas vou assinar se Patreon, vc é fera demais!

[@mustyguitar]

Man I totally understand you. I really do. Look at me with all the pedals in the world but I remember when I got my first pedal, I had to work a month to afford it years and years ago. It only got worse for my country xD Anyway, unfortunately, I don't have much experience with digital stuff. All I know is, Guitar Rig is not very good for my taste. I paid full price but didn't like one bit xD

[@AlessandroSulBrazil]

@@mustyguitar Agradeço pelo feedback, e foi incrivelmente muito rápido rápido em me responder, hoje mesmo vou assinar seu Patreon. Sou apenas um mero hobbista, e já tem alguns anos que tento arranhar On The Turning Away, e sempre falho, mas não vou desistir tão cedo! Obrigado!

[@SomeNiceChips]

In terms of boosting, Is it bad to boost with a bd2 going into a big muff because I've heard some people saying you should not have a buffer going into a fuzz (as all bosses have buffer)? I think it sounds better having bd2->green russian but I would quite like your opinion on this

[@tgdkls5891]

Buffer before fuzz is only a problem with fuzzface type circuits, it's fine with muff. The "boost before vs after muff" question is basically up to taste. DG has done it both ways, and after is more common AFAIK, but depends on other factors so just go with what sounds good to you in your particular setup.

My biggest advice is always "play in sentences."

[@ThereHeGoooo]

You can practice for 1000 years, it’s because you don’t have the soul David Gilmour has.

[@mustyguitar]

I’m sorry but what the hell is that even mean? What a terrible statement without a hint of thought. What should people do? Worship Gilmour and quit playing? Can you people stop exaggerating this “soul” stuff already? I see hundreds of people playing Gilmour solos perfectly.

[@ThereHeGoooo]

@@mustyguitar it means exactly what I said. It’s really not that hard to figure out, sorry my statement confuses you.

[@Domn879]

@@ThereHeGooooDo you simply mean you can’t play like him because you are not him?
