If you could listen to my piece I wrote, I would love to hear your opinion, thanks inadvance. Avi. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cmgjpOlHkOY.html❤
Funny you should say that. Gilmour once walked into the Richmond Corner Hotel in Melbourne, walked up to the band and said "Hi, I'm David Gilmour from Pink Floyd. Mind if I play with you guys tonight? "
@@nathan7063 Apart from Not now John (which was written by Roger, and I don't think David really liked any songs from The Final Cut) he doesn't really swear much. In a few songs he says a word or two, but he doesn't swear nearly as much as most rappers and modern pop musicians do.
@@dummag4126 He helped write a few songs and he has solo albums, he can still write better than the average person, that’s enough for the phrase “He composes”
@@dummag4126 well not really, he and Wright works on much of their best materials (pre The Wall stuff) musically, with Wright harmonically and him melodically, and as much as i love and respect Waters, he is a little mediorce musically. It is quite clear when they went solo, Roger's music is often merely 2 chords with a perfect fifth away from each other over and over again (quite similar to stuff from The Wall), whilst Wright's music is very jazzy and Pink Floydish (yes because he literally compose most of their chord progressions), and in Dave's solo works, of course, the famous solos carried from Pink Floyd is there. It is quite obvious that the music for Shine On You Crazy Diamond was Gilmour and Wright's baby, whilst the fantastic words were Roger's. Well, for many sole Waters credited compositions, the musical arrangements were arranged from Waters' initial idea, yes, but seriously, the initial ideas are rather.. mediorce to say the least.. i mean, for instance, welcome to the machine, it is literally 1 chord over and over, and it was mister Wright that composed the chords (basically the music) to it.. similarly, lots of stuff from The Wall was Gilmour's arrangement, you can quite easily tell from their solo works, and it is even clearer when you know music theories. And Roger never hide it, he himself claimed that he was never very "intellectual" musically, saying “Well, I was in a very toxic environment where I was around some people…Well, David (Gilmour, guitar) and Rick (Wright, keyboards) mainly were always trying to drag me down. They were always trying to knock me off.” Waters stated that they tried to undermine his artistic vision “by claiming that I was tone-deaf and that I didn’t understand music. ‘Oh, he’s just a boring teacher figure who tells us what to do but he can’t tune his own guitar…’. They were very snotty and snippy because they felt very insignificant, I think.” He was a little bitter and overeact i think, but anyway when he has all chances by doing solo works, they aren't very nice musically, but his concepts are still killers. While on the contrary Dave's solo works are fantastic musically (On An Island is basically Pink Floyd) but with just fine lyrics, not bad but also not as striking as Roger's words. overall Roger Waters: conceptual genius, lyrical genius David Gilmour: melodic genius Richard Wright: genius composer Nick Mason: fantastic drummer they all created the Pink Floyd sound we love Cheers
100% agree bro .. 100% .. I don't even think there will be any person who can play this the way David ever did . its not the skills that are missing .. its the unique feeling that comes from the original composer that can not be ever copied .. it is just not possible specially for this song or most of Pink Floyd songs in the matter of fact :)
@Alucard Dracula I'd love to see better and more melodic and soulful guitar players than Mustaine... playing with Gilmour like Steve Lukather...Neal Schon....Tom Scolz...Eric Johnson ...they have all the same melodic approach that WAY better than metal.
@@margix1172 Mustaine used to be more soulful than most his peers, just in a different way. Absolute youthful aggression, i mean it's heavy metal, right? Listen to pretty much all the guitar work on the Peace Sells album, it's very interesting. No one can imitate what he was doing back then, imo.
David Gilmour wasn’t gifted. He’s been blessed with such gift. I don’t know if this was part of an interview, but at the moment he started to sing, emotions started to happen in me, and I truly don’t know why, when I already listened to this song a thousand times. Amazing, glory be to God!!
My favorite guitarist! Gilmour Rocks on forever in my library...DAILY 🔥❤️💯✌🏼 Please do 1 more USA tour?!!Wishing you health and happiness always David Gilmour.
You have to remember that he joined Pink Floyd in January 1968, he's 67 years old now, and still doing what he does best. Entertaining people for over four decades now, the man is a music genius!
True... But let's be fair, while a good musician can make a crappy guitar and amp setup sound great, David is playing a vintage Strat going into a serious rig valve setup. I even shudder to think how much that Fender is worth, just by the tone alone.
I can still remember, as if it had happened yesterday, the very first time I listened to this masterpiece from the brand new black vynil disc turned by the Hi-Fi player of my best friend. It is still among the 10 longer lasting emotional memories of my whole life, and I am currently 62. Thank you David, you made our lives a significant bit better and you still do it.
David is like performing this and saying to himself “I don’t know why people are fascinated by me, or by just simple song, am just picking some strings”
ЭТО МОЖНО СЛУШАТЬ ВЕЧНО....... браво мастер!!!! Браво маэстро...... уходят КУМИРЫ... НАШИ((( ЖИВИИИИ ДЫШИ МУЖИК....ЗДОРОВЬЯ ТЕБЕ СИБИРСКОГО НАШЕГО РУССКОГО.. МЫ ЗАМЕШАНЫ НА СТАЛИ☝️🙏🏼👍👏👍👏👍👏💐🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺👏👏👏
Technicality aside (and included) - I think Dave is the best guitarist of all time. Not only because he’s Master player but because he creates emotions no one else can.
Well, I will respectfully disagree with you. I believe Jimi Hendrix is the greatest of all time. His genius is unparalleled and we will never see his equal.
@@derangedQuiver you're right, his tone, phrasing, articulation play absolutely no part in it because he's just playing in dorian like any wanna-be. Great analysis
David you are the pinnacle of the greatest guitar player in the world. Saw Pink Floyd in London in the 70t's and drove all the way from Amsterdam to Dover and then London to see you just after releaser of Dark Side of the moon, and I am still in awe of the magic you all produced for many generations to come ,but mainly down to you playing guitar Thank you so much Peter ........ Melbourne Australia
A musical genius, a very hard working man and an incredible singer. 50 years rocking and still going. You preach and teach how it is really done. Thank you David, always a man to admire just by being true to yourself you teach us how to be true musicwise to ourselves. Huge admiration. Keep on doing what you do best, we'll be there to follow and learn a thing or two.
Back in the late 70s,whilst incarcerated in her majesty hotel,my two cell mates and me would settle down in our small dwelling smoke a few splits,and tune in the radio to Phil eastons express,floyd would be on and I promise you,listening to them took me away from my surroundings and had me feeling I was I another dimension,since then they have always been my favourite band along with early genesis,
I have read all the awesome comments about Mr Gilmore's Talent. There is no doubts whatsoever that he is one of the best to ever pick one up. I am proud to say that I'm a professional keyboard player and have been keeping the Flames for Pink Floyd burning ever since I started playing professionally period as long as I live I will always play Pink Floyd Tunes all my keyboard such as Richard Wright did in honor of he and David in the whole band, and will never stop until I'm gone
Thanks for your comment. I'm not here often to reply and talk with you, add me on Google Hangout App,davidgilmour733@gmail.com I'll keep in touch over there.
They used to say Pink Floyd was stoner music back in the '70s. well guess what? this is just a classical genius at work. I still listen to it and enjoy every minute of it. Thank you Pink Floyd!
Unbelievable how easy is for David to reproduce the same emotions of the song heard on the record with just a guitar and a whispered sound coming out of the speaker. Great David and the whole music PF gave us..,
The album ‘wish you were here’ blew my mind when I first heard it.even till today it is almost sacred in the history of popular music.David Gilmore guitar playing is legendary.
David é um dos poucos tipos de músico que realmente emociona. Sua habilidade tanto vocal quanto instrumental se juntam de forma mágica e pega o ouvinte atento e o deixa nas nuvens. Ele é fino, perspicaz e genial. Que viagem amigos... Que viagem...
Even if I have heard him for decades, I'm always waiting with impatience the next note. And he always delivers of course, but it's always a new gift, gifts for our lives.
David's ring finger has more soul, and musical talent than 99% of the music industry today. Personally, I don't think we will EVER, in our lifetimes, hear music to the caliber of Pink Floyd... And that also goes for Gen Alpha!
One of the few guitarists that put melody and feel before flashy techniques and showing off 👍 never fails to bring all kinds of emotions to his playing
KMA spot on!...Not that David is this way...but if he were an 'old school' traditional sushi chef and you came to his bar and asked for some fusion roll with spicy tuna tartar piled on top of seared albacore wrapped in a tempura shrimp with avocado and jalapeno broiled salmon skin coated with raw smelt egg( I know...actually sounds pretty god! huh!?) he would probably ask you leave!😄
The video is uploaded 7 years ago, this comment is left 1 day ago and has already 35 likes. And that's absolutely normal, because it's timeless Pink Floyd and David Gilmour 👍 This music won't be forgotten - and that is a fact)
I really enjoy watching and listening to David play and sing. Even though age brings its own challenges, it hasn't affected his desire to play. I remember Venice. The distant sound of Thunder.
Na minha opinião David é o melhor músico que já esteve no plano terrestre… sem explicação para a admiração que tenho por ele. Tive o privilégio de assistir ao seu show em São Paulo e sou eternamente grato por isso. Voz única e talento e bom gosto musical incomparáveis. Além do seu toque e timbre de guitarra sensacionais!!!
David, you note bending sonofabich! Magical genius! Imagine being lucky enough to spend a day listening to him playing these wonderful songs solo. I'd give my left one for that experience. Or the right one, really doesn't matter.
I can listen to him even at the age of 80, he wrote such pieces that will remain the history of rock. His feeling is the best I ever listen to... This come not from our minds but from our emotion whenever we listen such music...
Meu ídolo ... Verdadeiro mestre na sua arte ... Que vídeo incrível ..vê esse fera tocando uma das minhas músicas preferidas só no gogo e guitarra..valew
I really like the way DG makes the guitar sing. It's not like he stops singing and "HERE IS THE GUITAR SOLO". He patiently hits just the right notes keeping with the mood of the song / lyrics and is not stuffing a distorted screaming guitar solo in our face. I'm always in the mood for more Pink Floyd!
Really the only exception I can think of is his solo in Time. And even then... that was kind of the point. The solo that serves as a transition between the two verses of the song is meant to depict time blowing past you before you can even realize. And this is exemplified with the sudden start of the guitar solo, which has little to no transition. There's no time for a transition, there's barely any time left at all! It might even be too late to truly start your life.. I'm sorry if I got a little too into that, I'm a massive pink floyd fan ^^"
Such an incredible composition. It’s just a Gminor blues with some great rhythmic spices that really make the chords lock and flow into smooth transitions. Using diminished chords and a few chromatic slurs to great effect. People will dig this tune for another 50 years at least
I wish there were more and longer videos of him playing closeup like this. I learned how to play so many guitar riffs just from watching this. Even when he messes up or stumbles it still sounds perfect
Wonderful stuff..we all still love this after all these years..David Gilmour like Mark Knopfler dont need to be flash.. their brilliance is in their feel and phrasing ..never over done always making you play their records over and over again..even as they age they mesmerise us still... thanks for posting this 🎸
Mr Gilmour, you are a kind man, thank you for making this video, & words cant explain how your music, & fellow band members, touched my life with your music, poetry "& sound has soothed me when all other drugs failed at some point but Pink Floyd always did & still does do the trick,, hahaha ,you never forgot about that Crazy Diamond & that alone is a testament,of your kind heart,,& honor , God bless you & thank you from the bottom of my heart, sincerely, Jerry Don
Ooooo dammmm.... wow This is Incredible... I would love to see the strings from inside the Guitar while the sun Reveals The motion (Vibration) of the notes from the strings... This brought me to tears .. Sad and happy at the same time... It is on loop now.....
