Okay, we are going to take a look at our first section of our David Gilmour style of track. I will try to start with – I just put into lead the track and give you a chance to get yourself set up. I will show you those chord examples that I played just in case you want to play over that section. I will play to the first 12 of the solo and then we will break it down into an easy to digest sections. So here we go.
We are going to take a look at our first lick. This tracks in G minor and we will take a look at the chord progression later on the DVD. So we start off with a little introduction really which is just based on the chords of C then Bb, C and then G minor. But just add in a couple of a nice triad ideas. It is very similar to the kind of thing that David Gilmour play either in a live situation or a little over on a Pink Floyd recording. Instead of playing like a full C chord voicing, let us play a little triad up here on which some of you may recognize that as the top part of the D shape or the top part of the C shape. This is probably more recognizeable as a D chord shape really if you think about the open position. So we are playing that on the 12th fret of the G, 13th fret B, 12th fret at the top E. A little bit of vibrato there. Perfect down a whole tone for Bb. Over the top of the G minor chord, we actually just play what appears to be a Bb triad. But when you play that in conjunction with the G root note, you have to get a G minor 7th chord. We are just using that same shape. So we are up in hopefully some familiar territory to start off with. It is the shape of one of the G minor pentatonic scale and just add a little bit of extra boost there. That is our first little phrase. We are bending 17 up a whole time of the G, releasing and pulling off to 15 and back up, we are going on the 17. We are going to let the note down and then push it back out. And then that little phrase which is just 17 release, pull of to 15 on the G string and then play 17 on the D. We just get a little double stop there on the 15th of the G and the B string.
Our next lick is kind of a very stylistic little blues. I am obviously listening to Shine On for a sort of an inspiration for this first section. You can hear similar licks during the end solo. The lick is this. Just based again around the blue scale so we are bending five up a whole time on a G string and then play three on the B, three on the top E. That is five three on the G-string then five up. Play it one more time. Five up to seven on the G, three on the B, three on the E, six on the B bend five of a whole time on the G string. Pull off five to three on the G and then five to three again. And then we play three on the D, three on the A, one on the A and then three on the bottom E. So it sounds like this or depending on how you want to phrase that line.
We come to this next lick. Hopefully we get my wrist slot for this one because it is a little bit of a classic one to pinch but I am sure Mr. Gilmour will not mind. It sounds like this. So we are pulling off 18 to 15 on the E, playing 15 on the B. We are going to bend 17 up a semitone on the top E and release. 18 to 15 on the B string and bend 18 up, repeat, release, pull off to 15 and then play 18 so we got this.
Here is the next lick. It sounds a little like this. It is similar in constructions to the last one. That is pulling of to 15 from 18 on the top E. Play 15 on the B and then 18 up a whole turn on the top E. Pick and release, pull of to 15 and then back up to 18 and 18 up a whole time on the B. We pick up and release, pull of to 15 and play 18 on the B and then bend 17 up a whole time on the G. And then release, and pick and release, pull of to 15 and then play 17 on the D. So you get something like this and this is the previous lick. This is really good for your string bending.
Okay, we go to the next chords, we have a simple little phrase to outline the chords. Something along those lines so just playing 16 on the B, which works over the top about EbM7. So just play 16th on the D and then 15, 16, 15 and then 17, 15, 17 up a
