Song Breakdowns

Money

The lesson on "Money" is a treasure trove for aspiring rock guitarists. This song introduces the concept of odd time signatures, specifically 7/4, a rarity in rock music. Learning "Money" not only enhances your timing and rhythm skills but also familiarizes you with David Gilmour's unique approach to solos, blending bluesy bends and expressive vibrato.

Comfortably Numb

"Comfortably Numb" offers one of the most soul-stirring and technically demanding solos in rock history. This lesson focuses on Gilmour's incredible ability to convey emotion through his instrument, teaching you how to use sustain and vibrato to breathe life into every note. The song is a masterclass in dynamics, showcasing how to build a solo from a whisper to a scream.

Shine On You Crazy Diamond

Diving into "Shine On You Crazy Diamond," guitarists explore the use of effects to create atmospheric sounds. This song is a lesson in patience and subtlety, emphasizing the importance of tone and feel over technical flashiness. It's perfect for learning about sustained notes and the effective use of guitar effects like delay and reverb.

Time

"Time" is a lesson in both rhythm and lead playing. The song's intro is an excellent practice for precision and timing, while the solo is a display of Gilmour's melodic sensibility. This lesson is great for developing a sense of space and phrasing in your solos.

Another Brick In The Wall

This lesson on "Another Brick In The Wall" focuses on one of the most recognizable guitar riffs in rock history. It's an excellent exercise in rhythm playing and clean tone. The solo teaches string bending and vibrato techniques, essential skills for any lead guitarist.

Hey You

"Hey You" encompasses a range of techniques from delicate fingerpicking to aggressive strumming. This song is a comprehensive lesson in dynamics and expression, teaching guitarists how to convey emotion through their playing.

Take It Back

Playing with a Backing Track
