Having grown up listening to the guitar solos in classic Pink Floyd albums, David Gilmour is one of my favourite guitar players. There are so many things that we can learn by studying this guitar style and habits, including phenomenal style, bends, touch and feel, finesse, that there is more to rock than just minor pentatonic...

But most especially, that sus4 arpeggios on the guitar give us an easy way to create incredibly beautiful and melodic guitar solos and break out of the pentatonic box once in a while.

Guitar lessons Vancouver teacher Blue Morris teaches how to find and play these arpeggios and how to place them in your own solos and improvising.

    This is kind of mind blowing. It is so obvious once you see it. Usually when I understand what a musician is doing, the mystique and magic goes away. For once, I have a greater appreciation for the music. Nobody that I have seen mentions the arppegios and sus4! For that,it is really THE lesson to make Gilmour inspiried music. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

    How do you not have a million + subscribers? Another superb lesson. Your teaching method is so clear.

    As someone stuck in pentatonic land, this is just the kind of video I need - Practical guide to break out from the shapes. Plus, using one of my favourite guitarists - awesaome !

    This is one of THE best lessons I have seen online. It has opened so many doors for me that just this lesson alone is going to change the way I see the notes and the way I play the notes. I have never really understood arpeggio's in as much as how best to apply them, but a big BINGO light is flashing in my head just now. I'm a huge David Gilmour fan, but I see this technique as super useful in many, many situations. Thank you for the huge lightbulb moment and for the clarity in your explanation. First class lesson....THANK YOU!

    Geez...you've taken all the magic out of Gilmore's beautiful solos, but...made them accessible to amateur guitar players, like me. Thanks!

    You are the best teacher I've come across in 25 years including the ones I've met face-to-face. I think you should make a tutorial on teaching.

    Always get something useful from your lessons. Helps me glue together and expand upon concepts I have a partial understanding of .

    I'm a slow learner and not a good guitar player, but I've always been fascinated by David Gilmour. Learning the melodic content of his solos is not particularly difficult. But it's the subtle nuances in his playing - the way he shapes every note and every phrase like an air sculpture - that is what makes it very difficult to truly approach his style. I'll probably be learning something from Gilmour for the rest of my life.
