David Gilmour has been a great source of inspiration for many guitarists of many styles. His work with Pink Floyd and as a solo artist are well worth listening to.

In today's lesson, we'll study some of the characteristics of his solos. David uses mostly minor pentatonics. The following licks should give you some simple ideas to develop your own leads.

Hope you enjoy!

David Wallimann	16th November 2007
Instructor	Thanks so much for all your comments! It encourages me to do more in that style. About teh sounds, use a clean sound with a tiny bit of dirt in it and delay. Hope that helps!

Member	Your using the neck pickup, correct? I have a strat and I tried using the bridge pickup and it sounds way better with the neck pickup (well, closer to this videos sound)

Iluha	15th November 2007
Member	Though I don't the chord progression was typical of Pink Floyd, that was a great Gilmour style usage of the pentatonic scale! will defintly be learning this one!
