Why don't you just find your own style and quit trying to be like the rest, that's a real mind blowing experience finding what you are and capable of. Santana told me once and I'll never forget it, go on a journey and find the notes, hunt for them

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 😊

I was in a world of hell selling Lego for about three years. I had a KZread 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

This is a great idea. You have me as subscriber and watching you on your journey. I am not into Gilmore or Floyd *per se* but I am finding a greater appreciation of the music as I go on my own guitar journey. (I am learning from in my late 50’s) I recently started to learn a bit of Shine On too, no ambition to learn the whole thing yet but it’s fun to noodle around with

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.

Well , good luck with you're guitar playing journey , i have played shine on with my band and gilmour / floyd is one of my favorites when it comes to music , the strat looks great so have fun , shine on will take some time to learn though , the best way to go is to learn it bit by bit and then string it together later on .

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.

Good luck on your journey. I use to play. Back in 2015 I started to re-learn how to play lefty. It's been a long journey & I'll never play like I use to but it's fun & you're right anything is possible & anyone can learn. I started my Intro/Riff lessons for other beginners. Too many guitar teachers forget they were beginners at one time. When you know something you tend to fly through things.

@@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 have a black strat with a maple neck also because of pink floyd. I think HSS strats are better. Some may argue with that. But they can play what they want. I like humbucker strats. You can still get that gilmour neck pickup tone all day at the flick of a switch

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 KZread 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).

@LearningGilmour

6 ай бұрын

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
