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

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.

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.

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 😊

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

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

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!

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.

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..

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..

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..

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!

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.

Thank you so much brother! I really appreciate you joining me, I’m excited for this journey as well, and it’s great to see others interested in watching how things go… thanks so much on the Strat, I simply love it, makes me want to not stop playing 😂😂 I appreciate you joint the ride, always feel free with words of advice or comments i try and respond asap.. Thanks so much!

I was in a world of hell selling Lego for about three years. I had a RU-vid 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

I appreciate you checking me out!

Thank you so much! Really means a lot to me! Enjoy what’s to come

3 full albums! Good luck brother!! That’s a task and a half… dedication seems to be the key… if you ever make a channel leave a link id love to follow you… Thank you for checking out my channel, I really appreciate you..

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

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!

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!

@@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.

That’s awesome, so glad you’re still trying to play, never let the music leave your soul.. I’d love any advice and links you have feel free to drop in the description…I really appreciate you taking your own time to watch me, watch my progress… it’s really amazing how many great positive people are out there.

@@LearningGilmour It's great when you find positive people, life is so much more fun & pleasant. Music brings people together & when you have encouraging comments that always a great thing.

You are 100% correct, I left FB I have no other social Media account but this.. I find life way happier😁 and the comments are super motivating.. Thanks again.

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 😮‍💨

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

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…

Hi thank you so much for checking out the channel and stopping by. I am not sure what the Darkside paddle is. I have not heard of it nor have I used it. I’ll look into that. I do not know what it is. I’ll keep you posted. Thanks so much.

@@LearningGilmour Sorry it's by Keeley effects, the dark side pedal!!

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..

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..

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 RU-vid 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.

@@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).

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

I disagree a Jackson is for heavy metal and hard rock, the Strat is the go to for classic rock… Jackson is a fast playing guitar and neck, and not a huge fan of the body shape.. def not easier to learn on a metal guitar.. I really appreciate you taking your time to comment and discuss, advice, thoughts, it means a lot to me.. Thank you kindly for your time and input Ryan

Nah it sounds great.

I mean I know he played a triple single but all the work he had done to his guitar who knows truly what it was in the end.. he also played a Humbucker..

@@LearningGilmourthe only hb he played was on his les paul on another brick in the wall solo he never used a hb strat...His black strat is sss ...It only really matters if your totally trying to emulate his tone...Nice guitar though ✌️💚

@@StevieZero no I understand that.. I actually bought the SSS they only had floor models left they offered me this one brand new for $699 so I couldn’t pass it up.. I can use enough pedals to get good tone though.. hey thanks so much for the conversation I appreciate.. I appreciate you checking out the channel it means a lot.. seriously any advice I’m a new guy so I’m doing the best I can…

Almost every time I'm trying to reply my comments keep getting deleted by youtube and all I'm trying to say is you're doing great...Same things happening every comment section I go to its a severe pain in the ass but I keep seeing everyone having the same problem...
