In this video I talk briefly about David Gilmour's guitar style evolution and his role as a member in the band. How he mastered both the role as a supportive guitarist and a band leader. And took the band to new heights with a not so sophisticated, but highly impactful playing style.

    Gilmour copied Syd in the early days, which is why ge got a lapsteel guitar. Don't forget Nile Song, More Blues, Spanish Piece. Rick Wright style peaked in 1970 during the Zabriskie Point session in Rome.

    The Echoes thing is Ravel's Bolero. You skipped the Animals Tour, which was the most important learning curve for David Gilmour. Live, his Guitar playing started to eat up the band entirely in a negative way. The pieces sound endless and to be honest, I can understand why the audiences would get bored and seek entertainment in fireworks. From the Momentary Lapse of Reason, he couldn't be bothered anymore. Songs like Sorrow are verging insult. While Pink Floyd was all about changing rhythm (Emily Play, Funky part in Echoes), Gilmour just can't be asked. High Hopes, well, I hoped the Division Bell (a late realization of the album's flaws?) would have sounded like High Hopes but no. Lazy Gilmour taking easy short cuts. The single Take It Back is particularly bad. This 5 minute piece should occupy no more than a short slot in a Medley on the B side. Marooned has no loop? Give it to a DJ, let's see if Marooned has no loop. Bring in some modernity into Space Rock. How could they be satisfied with this? Keep Talking has a loop and tbey keep it on. My God I could talk endlessly of everything that went wrong in Division Bell.

    Rick Wright used to have to tune Roger and Syds bass and guitar , before gigs, back in the day!! He DEFINITELY, 💯 doesn't get enough credit, He's also classically trained and accomplished, (No mean feat, in & of itself) and , although he did kinda blow a gasket (pardon the pun fun) with cocaine and self deprecating behavior later on, which made him difficult to work with, He STILL does not get enough credit and dues for his role in their compositions, IMHO

    Even a 3 hour long video cannot do justice to his playing. I know he wasn't a virtuoso but his sense of melody was just incredible. I think that comfortably numb solo is the reason I started playing guitar and his phrasing has been the single most important thing that I've learned. Just playing random notes sounds boring but when I think about phrasing and timing, those same notes sound infinitely better. I just think it's crazy how lucky I am. I get to listen to Pink Floyd everyday.

    Contrary to popular opinion, I agree with AMLOR and Division Bell being great albums. I prefer the Gilmour material musically. Lyrically the albums are a not as thematic, which puts people off. Musically they are fantastic albums. I am of the opinion that had Sid not left to be replaced by David, the band would be an interesting footnote who influenced other musicians and hardcore prog rock fans, but one that ended by 1973 or so. David's contribution was pulling the sound more mainstream. This also gave waters, as the primary writer of lyrics, the ability to add more relatable to the general listener, but still deep themes. Pink Floyd v3 Lost the deep album themes, but we saw what happened with the Final Cut. When Waters is left to do it alone, it is a bit of a mess. It takes Wright, Gilmour, and Mason to keep Waters balanced l.

    You say few but he sung quite a bit. A major part of Dark Side of the Moons feel is from his vocal performances against Gilmour's and the Harmonizing in Us and them is another example of his singing adding to it all. Sure after DSOTM He took a backseat but for the first half of their discography he contributed a lot more vocally than people realize.

That was truly a collaboration and it made it seem like Gilmour was doing all the work there the way it was said here lol. Gilmour is a God among men and his guitar parts were legitimately some of the best that PF had to offer. But Floyd was made off the sound of all members and Waters was not only a gifted lyricist. Now without PF Waters lyrics fall flat with none of the soundscape of PF. In the context of evaluating one players evolution and composition being as accurate as possible is vital.

In short they are brilliant even in their individual ways, i could not think of a time now without their music and Gilmours contribution in it, comfortably numb live is still one of the most amazing guitar solos ever, with High hopes and marooned being personal favourites, but includes so many of their songs from every era!

    4:09 - wrong. Gilmour sings lower harmonies to **Richard Wright's** higher register. Gilmour has often said that the harmonies on this song between him and Richard were the best that Floyd ever sounded.

  • @fitz7231

    I appreciate the passion you've clear put into this - but I would say, it feels a little rushed overall. Particularly, it's kinda hard to jump from the first song on Saucerful of Secrets all the way to echoes in one bound - especially because the years between the two are really where the band found themselves. For example, Gilmour has an entire quarter of Ummagumma which he came up with as an instrumental, which seems a little odd to leave out. Atom Heart Mother also seems important to mention - since it's where we really get a feel for Gilmour's songwriting on Fat old Sun, and the title track was in many ways a dress rehearsal for echoes. Similarly, avoiding Momentary Lapse of Reason seems strange, since it was for all intents and purposes Gilmour's first outing leading Pink Floyd, as does his first two solo outings. Honestly, in my view I feel like a 45 minute to an hour analysis would really do the subject justice - and give you a chance to engage with several fascinating periods in Gilmour's career.

  • @johnpeace971

    David's early style is more clearly shown by the amazing leads of Careful With That Axe, Eugene on Ummagumma. Let There Be More Light is a droning song where he is playing in a more Indian, sitar-like style and is not a good example of his early playing . Fat Old Sun is a great example of the next phase, as he started playing melodic solos

    dude, you and I must be connected in some creepy way, csuse you've posted this right in the middle of my sort of month long Pink Floyd discovery journey =P now, I'm still one of those people who really doesn't get all of the fuss (for context, I couldn't get through The Beatles album and I barely managed Thriller by Michael Jacksob, stilll gathering the courage to try a full Radiohead album...I'm just not nerdy enough for he greats I guess) - I did get through The Wall - three times at least: the movie, one in depth review and the 1990 concert, I think that's probably Floyd's most accessible stuff for us who prefer lyrics and storytelling to big instrumentals anyhoo, I actually agree that Dave is mostly the brains if not the storyteller in the band, and he also seems like the nicest person, I don't think even Roger can deny that, and he is an amazing guitarrist both live ane in the srudio (not to mention his voice has aged much better than Roger's) I was just watching the Live 8 concert before this II definitely missed that back then) and Wish You Were Here was totally rhe highlight for me (it was the only Pink Floyd song I knew besides Aniother Brick Pt 2 unti last mobth anyway) - it's such a simple and iconic thing, no thrills about it, no megashow, but it's an acoustic player's wet dream (way better than Wonderwall if you ask me) and they had an acoustic solo in there - blew my mind - so I agree, that acoustic riff is Dave's biggest acgievement of all, because even though I still can't do hammer ons and I cab't say I'm a fan of the band, I wanna learn that - bad (I know you're on electric but please never play that again, it sounds okay but not right) The aoloa on Comfortably Numb are also spectacular for sure, but what I love in that song is the melody and simplicity in it, much like in Mother or Hey You which are very simple compared to the grandiosity of The Wall, which I tend to gravitate to more, those are the songs that I personally like to jam to, both on acoustic and now on uke too (I love playing Pibk Floyd on uke, you lose some of the nuance, but it's kind of really cool) I wonder what your take on Dave's solo work is, I've personally never heard any of it,,,,

    Haha what a fun coincidence. And yes The Wall is probably a good starter album if you like long-tail stories. Piper At The Gates of Dawn, their first album with Syd Barrett also had some one-off stories per songs. The Gnome being one example. Although they are quite oddball I really like em. It's far away from the Pink Floyd most people know though. And about the electric guitar I played for Wish You Were Here, I was supposed to borrow an acoustic guitar from a friend. But that never happened. Definitely agreed with you. It sounds off on the electric. But I kept the part in for versatility's sake. I've never listened much to his solo stuff either. Might do it at some point. Thanks for writing and watching.
