This is kind of mind blowing. It is so obvious once you see it. Usually when I understand what a musician is doing, the mystique and magic goes away. For once, I have a greater appreciation for the music. Nobody that I have seen mentions the arppegios and sus4! For that,it is really THE lesson to make Gilmour inspiried music. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

This is one of THE best lessons I have seen online. It has opened so many doors for me that just this lesson alone is going to change the way I see the notes and the way I play the notes. I have never really understood arpeggio's in as much as how best to apply them, but a big BINGO light is flashing in my head just now. I'm a huge David Gilmour fan, but I see this technique as super useful in many, many situations. Thank you for the huge lightbulb moment and for the clarity in your explanation. First class lesson....THANK YOU!

I started guitar back in 1980 and my teachers back then were a total waste of money and time. They never showed things like this? it was like they were afraid you would get better than them?

​@@These_go_to_eleven_1959 Man! I taught myself. But wanted to get better so about 6 years into playing, I decided to take lessons. My teacher would take me in the little room, and would tell me to plug in and he'd be right back. I'd sit and play stuff while waiting on him. He'd come back and hear what I was playing and say, "how'd you play that." I'd end up paying him to teach him! I took 2 "lessons" and quit lol

A similar video for Satana is a great idea. I'll see how this one does first and if it does well, I'll do more like it.

I'm a slow learner and not a good guitar player, but I've always been fascinated by David Gilmour. Learning the melodic content of his solos is not particularly difficult. But it's the subtle nuances in his playing - the way he shapes every note and every phrase like an air sculpture - that is what makes it _very_ difficult to truly approach his style. I'll probably be learning something from Gilmour for the rest of my life.

Blue, you are my favorite guitar teacher I've found on KZread. I've been drumming in bands for nearly 20 years, so I understand music from the perspective of feeling, rhythm, dynamics, etc. But I've never been much of a guitar player, aside from being able to pick up an acoustic and strum some "cowboy chords." I made it a personal goal in 2023 to start properly learning how to play guitar, and the little tricks and licks you teach, as well as relating them to some of my personal favorite guitar players (like Gilmour and Keith Richards, for instance) helps me string together the missing pieces in my guitar vocabulary. Also, learning these fun and easy tricks on the guitar further grows my confidence -- making me want to practice more. Thank you!!!

Lessons like these show that being "stuck" in pentatonics is more of a psychological state than anything else. An arpeggio, in a sense, is just a "trail" through a pentatonic scale with a few intentional detours in an effort to speak to the specific chords of a progression. If you know your pentatonics cold, then you likely have just about all the foundation you need to be come a good musical soloist. Minor pentatonic scale= 5 notes (minus the the 2nd and the 6th) Major pentatonic scale = 5 notes (minus the 4th and the 7th) Typical Arpeggio = 4 notes, commonly containing 1/3/5/7
