How To Sound Like David Gilmour - Lead Guitar Course

In this section I take you through how to play & locate the pentatonic scale on the neck of the guitar. There is a solo for you to learn and a jam track to play along with.

In this lecture I show you how to borrow notes from the underlying chords and add them inito the pentatonic scale framework you are basing the solo on. You will learn how to work out what notes are in any given chord, and where to locate these notes  on the neck. You get a solo to learn which illustrates this, and a jam track to play along with.

Sometimes, Mr Gilmour will play over the chord changes by moving from one scale to another as the chords change underneath him. In this lecture I show you the basics of how to do exactly that. There is a solo to learn, and a jam track to try out your new skills over.

In this lecture I show you how to time your licks perfectly with the backing track. You will learn a simple little secret that makes the difference between sounding just "OK" and sounding tuneful, memorable & melodic.

This lecture shows you how to use repetition to great effect in a solo. This is fundamental to creating memorable music. You will also get some tips on how to develop a solo from a single phrase. Want to play long solos where you never seem to run out of licks? This lecture will show you how it's done. You get not one, but two, solos to learn and jam tracks to play along with.

In this lecture I show you how to count and play triplet based rhythms in your phrasing. Mr Gilmour uses there A LOT, so it's a great way to inject a little bit of his style into your own solos. Once again, you get two solos to learn which a crammed full of triplet based licks.

Here we go through a few string bending techniques that many of Mr Gilmour's mjore recognisable licks rely upon. There are (as always) close up demonstrations & explanations, as well as a solo to learn and a jam track to play along with.

In this summary I reflect on what topics we've covered & how they are going to be of use to you. There's also a bonus jam track to try out all the ideas you've learned in a new context.
