David Gilmour i feel doesn't get brought up enough in conversations about great guitar players. His style is so unique, you immediately know it's him playing when you hear it
@@firefaller3555 I agree with what you're saying. I guess different things impress different people differently, I've tried to figure the same thing out.
Exactly. People like Jim Root and Kirk Hammett and many others sound good fast, but David Gilmour didn't have to play fast to have just as much or more power than them.
David Gilmour has an amazing ability to sound huge with just one note. He plays just one bend and any guitar player listening will just melt. He is the master of suspense and emotion. You cannot teach his style 100%. You can get close. But there will always be that 1% that only his unique mind can reproduce. Very few guitarist give me the chills when I hear their music. SRV and David are just about the only two. Music is Win = My daily guitar related enjoyment. Keep up the solid work. You have a solid understanding on the minds of many and that makes you good to listen to. And you understand the best aspect of guitar. THE MUSIC!
You don't have to teach his style, its quite easy. He's got a taste of blues, but his rifs are easy, you can basically play them by ear the first time around. What SRV songs give you chills the say, Learnin' to Fly. I don't feel the same. He's just to fast, he is among the best, his version of little wing is amazing and moving yes. Not sure how he did that.
I had a teacher who used Gilmour as an example of how it's sometimes more about the notes you DON'T play than the ones you do play. His point was you can be a great guitar player without playing fast (not that David can't, I'm sure he can) if you simply know what notes to play and what ones to leave out to convey a message. You're also spot on with his hands, him and B.B. had/have an amazing way of massaging every note just right.
He is a kind of magic when it comes with playing! When I'm lazing on a Sunday afternoon listening to queen I've always thought of his guitar riffs, he sure knows how to tear it up!
"Sucking at something is the first step to becoming sorta good at something". Yeah, it's hard now but if you can stick it through until you can play a few songs you like, it's really fun!
I’m convinced that David Gilmour has gotten so good at Bending that he has the ability to bend the laws of time so he can go back in time and reexperience all the amazing performances of his life
@Angel. I do believe him to be the madness and wild man that made them Pink Floyd. Roger Gilmore did his thing to sold old Arenas, he lacked something Waters brought I think. I could be wrong, but they do not sound a like. Honestly, Gilmour was easier to listen too and the better guitar player, its just how it is/was. I know you Waters guys are dedicated, but I'd take a Gilmour show over a Waters show any day. Sac Religous, maybe, but as a guitar player, and not a song writer who I'd rather hear.
Waters: "This bit here is about how much I ####### hate Margaret Thatcher..." Listener: "Who? I can't relate to this song at all." Gilmour: "WOWOWOWAAAAAAAOWOW..."
Gilmour is still alive and performing. Several times throughout the video he is referred to in past tenses as if no longer living. Grammar point for future videos.
Make sure to check out Modern Rock Guitar Techniques (bit.ly/MODROCKcg) for a full breakdown of some of the techniques I used in this lesson. Also, comment and let me know which guitarist I should break down the habits of next!
But he hates soloing. I think he's the kind of guitarist that would require something more specific like escales, modes, etc. to know how he likes to write music
There's a bit more to it than that - The way he plays individual notes is quite unique. The best way to replicate that I've found requires the thumb and finger to pluck the string pretty much simultaneously, and for the thumb to be as far up towards the neck as possible while the finger is as close to the bridge as possible. Also being able to play rhythm and lead at the same time is really characteristic of his later (mid 90s onwards) style. I've never quire managed to work that one out, though. I would consider Mark Knopfler to be my personal guitar hero. His solo music is a blend of folk and blues that I simply adore. His lyrics are really interesting, too. Loads of stories about his life and things he's seen.
Indeed, for how truly amazing and unique he is, he tends to be overlooked on best of lists. Also, the story behind the lyrics for Money For Nothing is amazing.
Ethan Rummel wasn't it something like he overheard a Best Buy employee commenting on Musician's playing on MTV and he wrote down everything he was saying?
Raphael chieusse-gerard. EVH. Iv Hear his early reh tapes. Pop up solo tech's support, lick rythums .now Hendrix lefty one hand solo into voids, black hole explorer , heighest heights on bends!!AMEN!
Not sure if this would be a popular choice, but Habits of Lindsey Buckingham would be fantastic. Very different approach to classic rock guitar, and the subtleties rhythm playing are phenomenal. Maybe not the most high profile player to do, but could learn so much.
I always liked David Gilmore but when he released The Division Bell, I became a huge fan. His tone is almost ambient but at the forefront. His use of reverb and delay are masterful.
His Work has outlasted every shredder or trend we have ever seen! guitar players take note! on what it means to write something awesome and creating timeless phrases and Parts. I have seen them all and Gilmour still inspires me...
Nice analysis. When I learned that he played sax before guitar his playing (phrasing, note choice, bending etc) made so much more sense to me. Think of the solo on Time - could have been a sax solo. Even the tone he chose makes his guitar sound like a saxophone. (Go listen now - and reply to me - do you hear it too?) Now think of eddie Van Halen soloing - he grew up with his dad playing clarinet. Think of big band clarinet - choppy, super fast phrasing and note runs. Boom! Who else is channeling other instruments on their lead playing? Yngwie and the violin obviously. Chuck berry and his horn section musings - he was copying what horns would do by playing double note lead runs. The human voice is obviously a blues lead guitar target, but harmonica has been channeled often as well. A lot jazz guitarists sound like they are channeling vibes. Channel your inner other instruments!!!
Casey Kittel David scat sings his lyrics and guitar solos first. He records the rhythm tracks, then scat sings nonsense, where lyrics, and guitar solos would be. Then he listens back to it, and tries to replicate what he sang, but with his guitar. His wife listens to his scat singing, where lyrics would be, and lets his singing inspire her. If he what he sang, kinda sounds like a certain real word, she'll take note, and try to work it into the actual lyrics. If you listen to "Wish You Were Here", you can hear his scat singing, along with his guitar playing. They were originally going to take it out, after he recorded his guitar parts over it, but they thought it sounded better with his scat singing left in.
whatever works! whatever it takes to get the ideas down. I make better music by singing the solos out first too! learned from a pete seger "learn to play guitar" book fucking amazing. love it.
Casey Kittel Yes, me too; except I learned it from watching David Gilmour interviews. I found that it definitely helps with phrasing. It gives you a more natural build to your solo, rather than just... "What would sound cool in this spot, and 'impress' whoever listens to it?"
That was an excellent analysis of Gilmour and how to express rather than just play an instrument. We should never underestimate the sound of silence. Actors make the the same mistake. They are afraid of the pause. It terrifies them. Exactly the same thing. You put out some really interesting and thoughtful ideas.
Biggest technique in my mind is something you said but didnt spend much time on. David put SOUL into it. More soul in 4 notes than most artist will have in their entire catalogue.
David Gilmore is possibly my favorite guitarist from a stylistic point of view, and I think you really nailed it here! Nice video - thanks for your time and cheers!
David Gilmour is my personal guitar god. All my other favourite guitarists play 30 notes and leave me gobsmacked; David Gilmour plays three notes and leaves me in tears. Thanks for the video.
Indeed, but having seen his interviews have you ever felt that he's holding back? Not giving you everything, not sure how to say that, hes quiet. I wish he talked tech more, and, from his past and present. The old days of Les Pauls, to the Lace Sensors and black beauty. Why such a big switch, and to maple no less, although my problem with maple is not his, i find it unforgiving in tight spots.
@@gustavomelles1 It's a pun, his last name being Clapton so it's like Slowhand clap = Slowhand Clapton. A slowhand clap is something people used to do for encores in the 60's when he was given the name by John Mayall if I'm not mistaken.
Play to serve the song is quite honestly the best advice for any musician playing any instrument. Love your content Tyler, can't wait to see what else you've got coming!
Excellent dude!! David Gilmour is the most soulful guitar player ever, along with Steve Vai! Thanks for this. Can you tell us the delay and distortion settings you used here? Habits of Gary Moore, Eric Clapton or Johnny Winter would be great!
Great vid. David Gilmour / PF is one of my faves and yes its all about the fingers for him. Very hard to play like him without knowing how to have the FEEL. Great info. Just recently found your site. Great to see someone so young be such a good player and teacher. Keep it up
Pink Floyd was about themes whereas David's solo work relies on just whatever he feels like doing. The only modern song I like from him is On An Island because it reminds me of Echoes.
it seems to me that everyone is coming up with suggestions for future habits of ... videos, but I just wanted to point out what a great video this is. thank you man, love from Holland.
Great points made about the subtleties and not overplaying. Pink Floyd were the masters of the use of blank space or time. They let there be emptiness and room to breath with this beautiful respect for all the little nuances they put in there. Sort of the opposite of loose, sloppy, noisy, punkish pop types of things. Not that there's anything wrong with that kind of thing either. Gilmour really allowed us to savor the moment as he did with every gorgeous note. Just discovered your channel. Great job, I'll check out more.
Tyler! You kick so much ass brother! Love your videos and I signed up for both guitar super systems courses which I highly recommend to anyone taking the time to read this comment...I'm a perpetual student of the guitar and there is so much clear and concise information in there to give a much fuller picture of how to get to where you want to take your guitar playing. I have witnessed your channel really start to take off and I couldn't be happier for you man!
Adam Jones. I've seen a lot of people talk about how to play like him, but they don't go into how to get those enormous feedback sounds he textures his songs with.
I enjoyed this gentleman's look into David Gilmore's style & how he worked within a band environment... Turned 51 in June 2018 & I had been trying to get round to this for years & im now trying to learn acoustic/lead & rythmn guitar & if I can ever sound just a bit like David Gilmore or Peter Green then all the years Im going to put in will be well worth it... Yes it'll be coping but imitation leather s the greatest form of flattery... I've never come across a guitarist except DG that can put so much emotional content into his overall playing & when it comes to his solos it's truly beautiful to hear.. Considering (as far as I know) they were & are the only band to, through their music, speak about the frailties & dark side of the human mind & with so much emotion that you can but stop to listen to them playing these iconic & cult classic songs... Yeah are great shredders & others like Joe Satriani/Stevie Vai & Guthrie Govan that have are constantly taking the electric guitar to some serious other levels but I'll listen to David Gilmore/Buddy Guy/BB King et al every time as it's the emotion content that gets me every time...
After breaking a thousand strings trying to do the 3-step bend in Another Brick in the Wall, I learned in an interview that he used scalloped frets to get those big multi-step bends. Also, re: vibrato, he was very intent on not starting the vibrato immediately after landing a note. He compared it to a good singer, who would gradually add the vibrato.
trying to sound like david gilmore is very difficult youve got to put your soul and mind while playing his solos. its so delicate and the movement of the finger is pretty crazy man...
Not even close. DG has some of the most fluid bends ever...always perfect, and his soft touch and precision. Page is sloppier and not nearly as calm and collected...both icons and brilliant song writers, but miles apart as players.
you need a guitar, would that start you out? if you promised you'd priactice i'd consider sending you a squire for nothing, which is nothing to be ashamed of. music will change you.
One habit of John Petrucci is basically all of David Gilmour's habits combined with or played in between ridiculous shredding. Listen to Lines in the Sand specifically for a very Gilmouresque solo.
Finger tone is one of his style in guitar playing but MORE THAN THAT it is his genius of creativity, improvisation of sounds and mixture of the both that made him the world's best guitar player...his bending is also a must but he is GIFTED in all levels, musically, spiritually, physically so is his partners ROGER WATERS NICK MASON AND THE LATE RICHARD WRIGHT...UNBEATABLE AND NOT TOBE IMITATE...Thks for your inputs on his mecanics, technics....Marcella Loyer, author
Loved the video! David Gilmour is for sure one of my favorite guitarrists, and I think you captured how he plays slow and beautiful, minding every note and/or passage. His hands and his tone (gear-wise) are amazing. I will add my voice to the choir and ask for one on Jimmy Page as well!
What a great lesson on David Gilmore SSSOOOOOO good !!! ..very insightful!!! great tone with the capturing the delay little reverb maybe a deco or supreme pedal but his style...very cool lesson
David Gilmour can bend SpaceTime.
and maybe three octaves without a whammy pedal :DDDDDD
the man is a Magician.
So true.
Vol deMort because he IS space time
Lmao
David Gilmour i feel doesn't get brought up enough in conversations about great guitar players. His style is so unique, you immediately know it's him playing when you hear it
That's the sign of greatness. Clapton, Hendrix, BB King. No doubt who your hearing
David Gilmore comes up at my dinner table all the time when we're discussing guitar
I feel like when people talk about great guitar players people think fast players like EVH or Steve vai, this happens a lot
@@firefaller3555 I agree with what you're saying. I guess different things impress different people differently, I've tried to figure the same thing out.
Year he is tone and feel timing I hear hank Marvin meets hendrex but add more town to it as well
You know why David Gilmore doesn’t play fast? Because he doesn’t have to. His solos are never boring.
Exactly. People like Jim Root and Kirk Hammett and many others sound good fast, but David Gilmour didn't have to play fast to have just as much or more power than them.
Being honest, I’m not saying Gilmour is shreddy but he definitely can be fast.
@@willd7884Depends on what you define as “fast”, for some it’s Van Valen’s style, for others it’s SRV’s style
@@NBrixH that's is true 👍 I think Gilmour can be fast in a bluesy way
Fast equals good in most minds. Amazing.
David Gilmour has an amazing ability to sound huge with just one note. He plays just one bend and any guitar player listening will just melt. He is the master of suspense and emotion. You cannot teach his style 100%. You can get close. But there will always be that 1% that only his unique mind can reproduce. Very few guitarist give me the chills when I hear their music.

Gilmour Vibes you can teach, and learn, any style
Hendrix Newport festival 1969
Hendrix is forever the best, ask around
Gilmour and Slash probably have the most emotional bend styles in my opinion.
You don't have to teach his style, its quite easy. He's got a taste of blues, but his rifs are easy, you can basically play them by ear the first time around. What SRV songs give you chills the say, Learnin' to Fly. I don't feel the same. He's just to fast, he is among the best, his version of little wing is amazing and moving yes. Not sure how he did that.
you know he’s good when everybody sing his guitar solo
انت منين يسطاااااع

PooPoo > PeePee
Change my mind.
Agreed, it was his music that made me want to play guitar 10 years ago.
Absolutely..every solo he has written is filled with emotions. Never fails to give me chills
Nischal Adhikari every single one man.. live or otherwise. every note has purpose. Definitely the reason I started playing.
top 5 def in my book...no way i could possibly narrow down a FAV with so many great ones in my library...
Никита Федоров for me as well
HABITS BRIAN MAY
it would be awesome
It will require a lot of over-dubbing.
Sanderson Martins yupyupyupyupyupyupyup.
Brian is so (red) special, when it comes to style.
He is a kind of magic when it comes with playing! When I'm lazing on a Sunday afternoon listening to queen I've always thought of his guitar riffs, he sure knows how to tear it up!
I always wanted to learn how to play the guitar, but the beginning seems so slow and frustrating (FFS YOUSICIAN)
Ste-V 😂😂😂
"Sucking at something is the first step to becoming sorta good at something". Yeah, it's hard now but if you can stick it through until you can play a few songs you like, it's really fun!
Jake the Dog is right.
MagnusBruce lol I know how to play guitar, I just hate the yousician ad 😂
Oh I see... I don't ever see adverts so I didn't know what you mean! Apologies.
I’m convinced that David Gilmour has gotten so good at Bending that he has the ability to bend the laws of time so he can go back in time and reexperience all the amazing performances of his life
He did it on the time solo
No tremolo arm for this one? Thats a huge part of his vibrato technique.
STRAT-0-HOLIC the phrases he showed David doesn’t incorporate the tremolo....
I know how he plays
I thought so.
So Gilmour is a marvelous guitarist in your opinion, isn't he?
Well played.
@Angel. I do believe him to be the madness and wild man that made them Pink Floyd. Roger Gilmore did his thing to sold old Arenas, he lacked something Waters brought I think.

habits of bushy one string
You need a chicken & some corn. You can grow from there, even though the corn can't.
Mike D Thanks
Just play one string.
Sherlock shit no
Brunionbro lol
david gilmour is the reason i am absolutely in love with music, not just the sound, but the technique and the history
Gilmour is still alive and performing. Several times throughout the video he is referred to in past tenses as if no longer living. Grammar point for future videos.
JP Holesworth you used is and was in the same sentence and confused tenses. Just a grammar point for future comments.
Thank you, Ashley! I'll work on it! Just know that in the broader view, David Gilmour is still alive and well!
JP Holesworth he is referring to his past albums. Use comprehension and context points for future videos
JP Holesworth Calm down ladies!!! You're all pretty!!!
Thanx grammar Nazi. I always tell people you need a lil bitch to correct you. Oh, wait I never said that.
that one dislike is roger waters himself
The rest are people who wouldn’t know music, or guitar, with a brain transplant
hahahaha cmon!
Nemesis 86 I know you aren’t talking with that kind of playing on your channel ☠️
Haha burn!!! 😆😆😆
Yeah bro he's the comment right above yours
Make sure to check out Modern Rock Guitar Techniques (bit.ly/MODROCKcg) for a full breakdown of some of the techniques I used in this lesson. Also, comment and let me know which guitarist I should break down the habits of next!
Music is Win habits of Kurt Cobain!!
Music is Win plz do Billy F. Gibbons
Mark Knopfler and Randy Rhoads
Allan Holdsworth
Music is Win habits of Guthrie Govan
Would be interested to see Habits of Jonny Greenwood.
Same
yeah
Totally agreeing
Just cover your face with lots of hair.
Just joking, it would be great
But he hates soloing. I think he's the kind of guitarist that would require something more specific like escales, modes, etc. to know how he likes to write music
The other thing about Gilmour is his absolute understanding of music. He plays the right note at the right time all the time.
Habits of Mark Knopfler! please!
Play with your fingers and have more melody than god
There's a bit more to it than that - The way he plays individual notes is quite unique. The best way to replicate that I've found requires the thumb and finger to pluck the string pretty much simultaneously, and for the thumb to be as far up towards the neck as possible while the finger is as close to the bridge as possible.

Exactly, the world needs more Knopfler.
Ethan Rummel wasn't it something like he overheard a Best Buy employee commenting on Musician's playing on MTV and he wrote down everything he was saying?
I think it could be cool to do Habits of Van Halen, since he has a "scale" and a lot of different techniques (Tapping, harmonics, tapped harmonics...)
Raphael chieusse-gerard. EVH. Iv Hear his early reh tapes. Pop up solo tech's support, lick rythums .now Hendrix lefty one hand solo into voids, black hole explorer , heighest heights on bends!!AMEN!

Also he had smoking habit, he eventually got rid of that one while recording "Wish You Were Here" tho. XD
That explains why it sounds like a different person when he sings Dark Side of the Moon songs. Maybe he could make good Nirvana covers nowadays

I think he's referring to his prime/ more active years
@@chrisbailey556 old comment but his recent track slaps, nice folky song with a great acoustic part
it seems to me that everyone is coming up with suggestions for future habits of ... videos, but I just wanted to point out what a great video this is. thank you man, love from Holland.
seems awesome video dude! hope that you will do another video- "habits of eric johnson"
You know,I really enjoy bending notes,it's so expressive ,very visceral you really feel your having something personal with the music
*M A R K K N O P F L E R*
thanks, man....loved it!! had been requestimg this video in ur reddit and also in the comments.
AWESOME!!!
David Gilmour may just be a rock god, up there with a lot other great guitarists
Your still alive!
Ronnie James Dio he’s in the Rolling Stone ‘Top 10 Guitarists of all Time’ I believe
Ronnie James Dio he’s an exception
These videos make me play better than any lesson or anything else I saw, keep up the great work!
You should do Habits of Santana next!!
Great points made about the subtleties and not overplaying. Pink Floyd were the masters of the use of blank space or time.

Habbits of Gary Moore?
THIS
apsolutely!
That would be awesome, his vibrato was insane, one of the masters of feel
drinks and chicks!... his 2 habbits..
Patrick. Moore of Gilmores shadow,first!.
Adam Jones. I've seen a lot of people talk about how to play like him, but they don't go into how to get those enormous feedback sounds he textures his songs with.
What about the habits of Devin Townsend? Would be awesome to see an episode with some alternate tuning... A whole other level of habits! :)

Yeah are great shredders & others like Joe Satriani/Stevie Vai & Guthrie Govan that have are constantly taking the electric guitar to some serious other levels but I'll listen to David Gilmore/Buddy Guy/BB King et al every time as it's the emotion content that gets me every time...
Maybe it's a minute factor, but just in case what pick would be recommended for, uh, David Gilmouring?
Gilmour uses a Herco Flex 75
After breaking a thousand strings trying to do the 3-step bend in Another Brick in the Wall, I learned in an interview that he used scalloped frets to get those big multi-step bends.
Also, re: vibrato, he was very intent on not starting the vibrato immediately after landing a note. He compared it to a good singer, who would gradually add the vibrato.
Great video! Do habits of BRIAN MAY!!!!!!
trying to sound like david gilmore is very difficult youve got to put your soul and mind while playing his solos. its so delicate and the movement of the finger is pretty crazy man...
Jimmy page next
Sloth Bear i couldnt disagree with you more
Not even close. DG has some of the most fluid bends ever...always perfect, and his soft touch and precision. Page is sloppier and not nearly as calm and collected...both icons and brilliant song writers, but miles apart as players.
#1 Habit of Jimmy Page
Have one of the most fucking disgusting guitar tones of all time but still somehow be a rock god
Didds some songs his tone was pretty good like achilles last stand and since ive been loving you, but some were just shit
Brandon Quod what tones were shit?
David Gilmour is certainly one of the most bluesiest hard rockers around. And you certainly do come very close. Keep up the good work!
PLEASE DO HABITS OF FRANK ZAPPA NEXT TIME!
My favorite guitarist thanks you for uploading this!
habits of marty friedman
the habit would to pay anything i can't
Semitone bends, and a LOT, A LOT... of dorian notes
Being in my late 60’s now, I’ve found Reverend Willies .07 light gauge strings work fantastic for big bends like Gilmore’s , BB, Bonamassa etc
I always wanted to learn how to play the guitar, but the beginning seemed so slow and frustrating
So I didn't
you need a guitar, would that start you out? if you promised you'd priactice i'd consider sending you a squire for nothing, which is nothing to be ashamed of. music will change you.
YOU DID IT! You did a habits of Gilmour. You beautiful man!
jimmy page
this is one of your best "habits" videos, cheers man!
habits of Jack White would be awesome!!! Could You make such video?
That would be an interesting video indeed! Jack white is such a unique guitarist. It would be difficult to pin point his crazy style🤘🏻
Please! I've been requesting that ever since he started doing these videos. Buddy Guy or BB King would be awesome too
Grzegoslaw gitarmen Habits of who??? for the love of god.. 😐
Grzegoslaw gitarmen he has no habits he's shit
Something Something thas right. ..😊
This is my favorite video on this channel.
Habits of John Petrucci!
Stephen M Guitar overplayed everything. Thats all
One habit of John Petrucci is basically all of David Gilmour's habits combined with or played in between ridiculous shredding. Listen to Lines in the Sand specifically for a very Gilmouresque solo.
Finger tone is one of his style in guitar playing but MORE THAN THAT it is his genius of creativity, improvisation of sounds and mixture of the both that made him the world's best guitar player...his bending is also a must but he is GIFTED in all levels, musically, spiritually, physically so is his partners ROGER WATERS NICK MASON AND THE LATE RICHARD WRIGHT...UNBEATABLE AND NOT TOBE IMITATE...Thks for your inputs on his mecanics, technics....Marcella Loyer, author
habits of tony iommi?
Your videos are amazing so it's good to see you shine on you crazy diamond
Chuck Berry anyone ?

Habits of BucketHead pls
Иван Плетнёв THIS
#1 Habit of Buckethead
Put out a new album every nine seconds
one of my favourites for sure. have always loved the Floyd, especially the early years before DSOTM, largely due to Gilmour's live performances.
habits of Matthew Bellamy please
Daves playing is so dramatic. I love it
habits of Matt Bellamy!
You are my fav youtube guy now. period.
Tone isn't stored in the fingers, tone is stored in the balls.
The last minute gave me the chills.. Super nice feel you gave at the end that made the hair on my neck stand up.... cool :)
I have the same Fender :)
Влад Борисыч what model is it?
I've been waiting for this one! Thanks man!
Gary Moore Habits
Congratulations on getting this video into Guitar Player Magazine!!
Habits of FRANK ZAPPA
Loved the video!
David Gilmour is for sure one of my favorite guitarrists, and I think you captured how he plays slow and beautiful, minding every note and/or passage. His hands and his tone (gear-wise) are amazing.
I will add my voice to the choir and ask for one on Jimmy Page as well!
This ones gunna be a weird one but habits of synyster gates
Thank you! You are a great musician and teacher.
David Gilmour is still very much alive...the past tense you keep using is a bit disturbing.
Exactly.
What a great lesson on David Gilmore SSSOOOOOO good !!! ..very insightful!!! great tone with the capturing the delay little reverb maybe a deco or supreme pedal but his style...very cool lesson
