Thanks so much to the creator of this - I must have spent hundreds of hours watching and going back over it bit by bit; I may never be able to play it like he does, but I'm constantly improving. It's *really* appreciated - that feeling of accomplishment when I finally get a phrase locked in is wonderful.
One Hell of a Tutorial ,at 61 and 3 years in from my first note can now have a real go at smashing my favourite solo...many many thanks to a bloody awesome player!
Thank you very much. There are many lessons for those songs on RU-vid, but this is one is definitely the best. Also thank you for showing the chords that are in the background and explaining every detail of the solo
This is a Masterclass lesson, a definitive version of this Solo, it is appreciated that this is as detailed and accurate as the original. Thankyou , and every good wish for your new family addition!!
Thank you for this. I just got a new Strat player plus tequila sunrise its a beautiful guitar and been playing this . I cant get sick of Pink Floyd .playing is so emotional and i can feel it in every cell of my body. its its hard to see when my eyes get watery and I practice a lot to make it as perfect as i can. your lesson was so good Thanks again GILMOUR !!!!!
learned this from you about a year ago! After i learned it, i never really came back. Recently broke the tabs out to tease out what I have been missing... Then checking your video out a few weeks later reminds me of how not easy this solo is when you add in all the feeling haha! Glad this is still going on youtube!
There are dozens of tutorials for CN on line. Dozens. And all but a few are pretty darned good! A few literally suck canal water! LOL But out of those dozens, about 4 or 5 stand out as being very good. Yours is head and shoulders above most of them, and elbow to elbow with the top few! Both Technique wise, and Artistically, your's shines above them all! Thanks!
Wow Wayne, thanks so much for this positive and thoughtful comment. I’ll keep these lessons coming, both here and at Patreon.com/Swiftlessons. Expect more PF in the near future. -Rob
I finally discovered this lesson. Awesome awesome. Right off the bat you mention and do the pinch harmonic and the preceding D chord -which most lessons don’t even bother with. So I think I’m going to be here for a while…. Thank you for this extraordinary in-depth lesson… and taking the time to break down each phrase carefully, so even a beginner can access it. A lot of lessons go through it so fast and don’t call out every fret, that it’s impossible for me to follow👍👍❤️❤️🎸🎸
hello i'm french and i don't speak and learn english but thank you, i understand your lesson " a l'oreille" ( en francais dans le texte) thank's very much , it's clear
Damn Rob! The first video of yours I watched was "The Lead Guitar Concept that Forever Changed My Playing!". That really got me motivated. I practiced it over and over and just from that point on my playing has greatly improved. I'm going to subscribe to your "Premium Sustainer" program tomorrow when I get my check. You really break it down. It's giving me all new licks and riffs to change my old boring way of playing. I've been playing the same crap for 50 years without getting better. I always downpicked, which is like wearing handcuffs. By God... I'm going to play well before I die. You've got me on my way. Thanks Brother...
Awesome. I just couldn't separate the licks in order as they are all similar I kept mixing them up but you broke it down in a way that was easier to hear and follow. Much appreciated.
Awesome lesson man. You teach in way that makes difficult timing so much easier to learn. Thats a gift bro,,and your a mean guitarist too. Thanks a lot.
Hi Rob, this is so outstanding and really wonderful that you are doing a great song like this. You are really THE consummate guitar instructor and I want to thank you so much for this super material. Can't wait for Number 2. Buddy
Thanks as always Buddy, I really appreciate your positive feedback, especially after a challenge like this one. I'm filming the remainder today, and hope to have it posted by this evening. Check back soon!
This is excellent, thank you. I tried to learn this second solo a few years ago using my ear and a couple of other RU-vid lessons, and gave up halfway through. Got it now, thanks to your two vids - somehow the way you've done it just seems clearer to me. A Gilmour masterpiece really well broken down.
Thank you young man! Excellently done! Best I've seen! I'm new to the electric and old to the world! Ha ha! I'm actually not doing badly, so I think there's hope for me on this one! Now one of my life's goals! :D
Sorry for the wait, I didn't realize there was so many people excited for the 2nd solo, because the lesson I did prior got fewer views than expected. I should have the next video up this evening. Be sure to check back! -Rob
Thanks for the tutorial, I love this solo! Unfortunately I am not at the skill level to learn this solo yet. I am a begginer (currently learning about pentatonic scales and 1-4-5 chord progressions) and I was wondering what would be a good classic rock/blues solo to learn?
Matthew Brodsky You do not have to be an expert to play this solo, you don't need to know scales and such to play this. Just learn what to play and practice it, build speed and learn the timing, this solo is not complicated and pretty easy to play, the hardest part I think is sometimes the timing of some of the licks. I'm a beginner player also and only know some scales, chords and some songs/solos and had no problems learning to play this solo.
Bradley.. It's better if you know your scale positions well while playing..such as the octaves which are used in the solo.. It's starts with Bm.. Then it gets shifted to D major pentatonic back to Bm again and it goes on.. Containing A and G in between..so it's better if you know your scales and the octaves while you are playing gives you a vivid idea how to create solos of your own..Guitar is not just playing few notes with some added dynamics.. It requires a lot of theory to understand.. :) like modes..Added notes in between..or whatever
Hi Rob, thanks so much for all the time and effort you put into making this video. Could you elaborate on what gives you that great tone? What pickups, fx and amp are you using in this video? Many thanks
Hey Luc, I'm using an American Fender (all stock) and I'm running into a boss digital delay (amzn.to/2GGuZi3). The Fender Supersonic (amzn.to/2GEBDVX) has fantastic reverb and drive, so it has much of what is required to get a Gilmourish tone.
@@swiftlessons Seems like I hear a compressor in the signal chain... Is that what the pedal is that's sitting on top of the amp? if so which one? About to go buy your tabs and I want that tone!!! :-)
Wow. I bought a Special Edition MIM from a guy a couple months ago he replaced the pickguard to white and yet sent me the black as well. He added extra 2 springs in trem and was immaculate shape. Plus a pro fender case 445.00 usd. I swear you are holding it right now. Lmao. Wow. Aged pickups as yours. Dang I only have 21 frets. Wasnt you. Lmao. This dude was a bassist that bought to use for a few floyd sounds I think. But decided to upgrade bass gear. I was so nervous I'd get hosed but I got hooked up nicely. It's a 2017 Spec Edition You'll see them on Ebay for 499.00 and Music stores from that to 599.00. Etc. Give or take. I am here to learn but also had to shout out. Beautiful guitar man. Great video. Subbed.
The best tutorial on internet for this classic. Thanks for posting this. Can u plz let me know the amp settings for this. I have a spider v 20 line 6 and not able to set it for the kind of tone u r getting. Love from India
What gauge of strings do you use? I've been playing for six months and the fingers are hardened, but with caliber 10 46 after a couple hours of training this solo appear terrible corn sorry for eng, i hope you can understand me im thinking about 8 38 now
+Артём Лебедев I’ve always used 10-46s. It’s the most popular gauge, as it is heavy enough to provide a nice tone, but not so heavy that they are difficult to play. I would go below 9’s.
@@swiftlessons about the noise, true but i have never seen gilmour use the mid/neck together, maybe on coming back to life second solo :) still, great work!
Interesting observation, I looked at the google images and while I am seeing some pics with him set to neck position, there are a ton with him in bridge position. I know my guitar doesn't sound anywhere near that fat in bridge position, but my guess is he compensates with pedals, pickup choice, and amp settings. Thanks for bringing this up, i'm extremely curious now!
@@swiftlessons Another point - if you consider the recorded album, you will never know which pickup he was using. So, it really doesn't matter as long as you get the best sound to cover his tone properly.
You’re so frustrating sometimes it drives me nuts! You will be in the middle of showing a new phrase and instead of just showing the whole new phrase you keep jumping back on to the phrase we’ve just learnt!! Confusing me on the new bit!!
@@swiftlessons I only listened to the first 4 bars! And you already added extra notes. I am teaching this and I'm always curious to look at other versions. If you just want to do an approximation, thats fine. I am not trying to be malicious :)
I listened to the isolated track at 1/2 speed and painstakingly picked out each note, some of which are muddled in the mix, but they are there. I stand by my transcription. Good luck with your lesson!
