Play in the Style of David Gilmour

[Dan Roth]

TrueFire is releasing a new guitar course: Play in the Style of David Gilmour:



From their blurb on this release:
Angus Clark’s Play in the Style of David Gilmour is NOT about learning David’s signature licks or solos note-for-note. The course goes deeper than that — it’s a thorough exploration of the David Gilmour style of guitar so that you too can incorporate David’s harmonic, rhythmic and expressive approaches into your own playing. Understanding what’s under the hood allows you to to tap into his influence to power your own sound.

Angus organized the course into three sections. In the first section, you’ll examine David’s tone, gear and his go-to scales and fingerings. In the second section, you’ll expand your vocabulary with 30 lead and rhythm licks that are most characteristic of the David Gilmour style of guitar. Angus guides you through an essential palette of techniques: bends, slides, vibrato, arpeggio based lines, playing over chord changes, delay and effects, slide, pinch harmonics, vibrato arm and a variety of rhythm guitar approaches.

In the the third and final section, you’ll apply everything you learned in the first two sections across four full Performance Studies. In the first study, you’ll learn how to play a minor blues in a shuffle feel reminiscent of Money. In the next study, you’ll focus on arpeggio-based lines similar to Gilmour’s approaches on The Wall album. The third study is modeled on David’s solo on Another Brick In The Wall Part 2. And finally in the fourth study, you’ll learn to solo similar to David’s work on the ride out in Comfortably Numb.

It's dangerous to play at being God.

I think one can make too much of David Gilmour's "style". Certainly he has one, but he is not a virtuoso guitarist and does not attempt to be. His style however is perfect for the music he plays on it.

There is a reason why "Wish You Were Here" is so beloved of street buskers. Not only does everybody under the age of 70 know the tune, it's also dead simple, with a straightforward rhythm and one standard chord per bar.
