Is there a song you need help with? I have studied his style and I am not the greatest guitarist, but I know his style pretty well. It is really mostly in the fingers as you said. With Gilmour, it's all in the bending and vibrato. He doesn't let a note die without bending it both directions and generally milking the hell out of it. I know most of his best guitar pieces, and I will gladly offer any advice I could. Let me know.

His style is pretty simple.

Which songs do you need tab for? I got a couple of tab books with most of his stuff. I can scan it and send it off to you. PM your email address if you like. Yeah, I'd be interested in some bootlegs.

I didn't mean to imply that he bended in opposite directions, I was just exaggerating the fact that he does a crapload of bends. Time, for instance. On the solo he'll bend a note up a 1.5, come down a full note and back up 1/2 a note. Just crazy usage of the strings. As well, Shine On, I had to dig up an old interview of his to finally figure out how he was applying vibrato to get that special sound in the beginning of the song.

I don't think there is a thing I could tell you though if you have been playing his stuff for well over two decades. Maybe I ought to be asking you some questions. Anyhow, it's great to see another student of his style around these boards.

Thanks

Sorry, got caught up in another thread for a while. Man, these questions are just a little out of my expertise. I usually have some Gilmour settings on my POD and they do nicely. But I have a couple places that might have your answers.

Here's an interview with his guitar tech Phil Taylor (very bottom of page). I believe they mentioned he controls his effects with a Bob Bradshaw:

This site covers just about all his effects, with pictures:

Were you referring to 'Comfortably Numb' solo, or another song?


Forgive the ignorance, but what is a PIE?


Actually I haven't used either. Most of my effects and tones are through my POD. But I am going to have to check these out now that you got my interest peaked.


I am assuming the one closest to middle, though I probably can take a look at my Pink Floyd DVD tonight and confirm it. I play it through my LP and through the middle, since I have only a 3-way switch.


I'll see what he is doing on the PF DVD tonight and update it if I find any 2's or 4's

Cheers,

holy crap.... I never understood a word... Ill stick with playing my easy ass nirvana songs... oh boy...

Thanks
