David Gilmour Quick Licks

David Gilmour Quick Licks.

This David Gilmour guitar lesson will teach you step by step how to play 3 famous David Gilmour guitar licks. They come from two of Gilmour’s greatest solos with Pink Floyd: ‘Comfortably Numb’ and ‘Another Brick In the Wall’ and demonstrate important aspects of the David Gilmour guitar style.

-Lick 1 is in the key of B minor and is taken from the outro solo on Comfortably Numb. Notice how Gilmour adds the 9th to his minor pentatonic scale for a more interesting sound.

-Lick 2 is also taken from the outro Comfortably Numb solo.

-Lick 3 comes from the David Gilmour solo on Another Brick in the Wall. It’s the lick that starts the solo and is in the key of D minor.

Once you know the licks shown in this guitar lesson, you should take them and use them to make up your own David Gilmour style guitar licks!
