David Gilmour special in new Total Guitar magazine

new issue – cover date July 2022, issue 359 – of Total Guitar magazine, which majors on David Gilmour and Pink Floyd (https://www.magazinesdirect.com/az-single-issues/6937159/total-guitar-magazine-single-issue.thtml). Over 23 well illustrated pages, with some shots we’ve not seen before, they trace Gilmour’s evolution as a guitarist via 20 classic Pink Floyd tracks – from 1969’s The Nile Song all the way through to Hey Hey Rise Up. Along the way, Gilmour’s genius in landmark songs such as Echoes, Breathe, Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Wish You Were Here, Comfortably Numb and Another Brick In The Wall is celebrated by a host of guitarists – Kirk Hammett, Matt Bellamy, Sophie Lloyd, Derek Trucks, Jon Gomm, Steve Rothery of Marillion, Geordie Greep of Black Midi and Stu Mackenzie of King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard. Gilmour’s story of his life in Pink Floyd and beyond is told in his own words, and an insight into the guitarist’s creative process is provided in an exclusive interview with Bob Ezrin, producer of Floyd’s legendary double album The Wall and the last three albums of the band’s career. Finally, in an additional eight-page in-depth lesson, they profile the details of David’s playing technique. From his trademark wide-interval string bends to his melodic bluesy phrasing, they say they cover what you need to know to play like him. You can order this online through this direct link (https://www.magazinesdirect.com/az-single-issues/6937159/total-guitar-magazine-single-issue.thtml) saving you the effort of tracking it down in a store, or if you live outside the UK.

Two new guitar magazines focus on David Gilmour/Pink Floyd, and Dark Side’s 50th

through this direct link to the publishers (https://www.magazinesdirect.com/az-single-issues/6936969/guitarist-magazine-single-issue.thtml), or in selected UK stores. The second of these is the more specialist Guitar Techniques, published in the UK on April 5th, and is issue 347 (cover date also May 2023). They suggest with the help of their videos, you can “learn to play like David Gilmour” (a bold claim!) with five pieces detailed that “celebrate his rhythm, lead, slide and acoustic playing”. The magazine promises “a comprehensive look at the Pink Floyd guitarist’s emotive styles”. Elsewhere in the magazine, there are various technique tutorials from slide to classical. You can buy the magazine online, with worldwide shipping, through this direct link to the publishers (https://www.magazinesdirect.com/az-single-issues/6936964/guitar-techniques-magazine-single-issue.thtml), or in selected UK stores.
