Chords for How to Play Slide Guitar -Dave Gilmour style !

_ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ [G#] _ _
[D#] _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ Hello everyone, how's it going?
All right.
[N] I'm gonna take you through today some Dave Gilmore guitaring and probably the most
Famous slide guitar Pink Floyd track.
It's got to be breathe in the air
So what I'm gonna do is show you the [C] riffs and the notes and show you a couple of the techniques that you'll need to
Pull it [F#] off correctly now
_ When Dave Gilmore originally recorded the solo for breathe in the air
He [N] used a pedal steel guitar now the thing about a pedal steel is that it has pedals that can sharpen and flatten the notes
So you can hit major chords and minor chords together, which is something you can't do on a normal lap steel or six string
But when it comes to live playing Dave Gilmore does use open tuning and a bottleneck to play the riff
So what I'm gonna do is show you this version of it [A] with open tuning
So the first thing you're gonna have to do is tune your guitar into an [G] open E
Because it's e tuning a [F#] major chord tuned [Em] in so that's the first thing to do
Another important thing about this is [B] whether you pick up or whether you pick down
Because you're picking [G] two strings at the time if you pick up it'll [C] emphasize the [E] E more than the [Em] B
If you do a down stroke, then it'll emphasize [G#] the B string [G] more than the E
So I find on this song that the upward strokes actually sound better than downward strokes
[C] And of course another [G] really important thing is it's got lashings of reverb [E] on which help it give that [Em] classic sound that really dreamy [G#] tone
[A] So lots of reverb and upward [G] picking with the two strings
So, okay, let's take a look at the riff now
One of the most important techniques in [A] this song is the two fret slide.
It's gonna be played anywhere on the neck
I'm gonna play on the seventh fret and slide up two frets to the [Em] ninth.
So it's picking it once though
So you just pick once
_ [G#] _
[C#m] _ _ _ _ _ [G#m] Slide up _
_ _ [C#] _ _ _ [G#] Another technique is [E] the reverse which is starting on the [C#] ninth fret and sliding down two to the seventh
_ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ [C#m] _ _ [B] _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ I'm gonna [B] put the music on pick up a guitar and show you what's going on
Let's [G#m] take a look at the left-hand technique [A] first and I'll take you through changes and call out the notes as we go
The first slide starts on the 10th fret on the D and we're sliding up D to E.
[Em] So that's the very first position
_ B to C sharp
_ [A] _
_ _ _ [C#] _ D to [D] E
[D#m] _ [Em] _ _ B to C sharp _
_ [C#] _ _ _ _ E to [F#m] F sharp
_ [F#] _ _ D to [G#] E
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
B
[B] B _ _ to C sharp
_ [D#] _ _ [C#] _ _ _
E to F [G] sharp _ _ _
D to [Em] E
_ _ [A] _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ B
[Bm] B _ to C sharp
_ [C] _ [C#] _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ B
[C] B _ [G] _ _ _ _ [Bm] again _
the _ B to the C
[F] C [Cm] to the B to the [Am] A
A to the G
[G] G to the F
[D] D to [D#] an E on the B [Em] string
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ Now let's have a look at the right hand technique the picking hand
_ [Em] So you can see I'm picking an upward stroke on the in B [A] string _
[C#] I'm _ _ _ [D#] only picking [Em]
once and I'm getting two notes out of [C#] each pick.
I'm _ _ _ [F#] picking and then sliding
_ There's _ [G#] _ _ _ [Gm] _
_ [E] _ _ _ an upward [B] stroke again with _ both strings
[C#] _ the _ _ _ odd [G] single stroke
_ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ [B] That's two strings again
_ And two strings there _ [C] [C#m] picking once and sliding up
[A] _ two _ _ [C] strings
_ [Bm] Two strings again as we stay on the B _ up to the C
I pick once [F] on the C and [C] slide back to the B and [Am] then to the A so it's three notes [G] out of one pick
_ [D] The [D#] D to an E on [Em] the B string _
_ _ _ _ Another [C] _
important bit is on the end [B] turn round where it goes
[C] _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F#m] On that end section [Am] there you can get [A] overtones from the E string coming through it you might not necessarily want
It's actually [F] cleaner if you kill the E string [Em] before you play the last [Am] bit
So I'll play it again damped.
I'll cut the E string off this time.
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Am] It's just cleaner if I play it undamped _
_ [G] _ _ _ It's [G#] _ [A] _
_ _ [Dm] just not quite as clean [C] so things like that can really muddy up the sound
So it's important to [E] damp strings at times with the slide because otherwise you get a note that you maybe don't want coming underneath
_ [G] I'm actually doing a down stroke there as well on that
[G#] _ [A] _ _
[Em] Third fret to the fifth fret.
I'm strumming the B and the E [G] string together
_ [A] _ _ _ _ Well _ [G] that just about wraps it up
Showed you a few of the techniques involved showed you the slide in the double pick in and [B] the damp in
So hope you have many hours fun [C] practicing that
_ Well, that's just about it for the time take care dudes.
See you later.
Bye _ _ _ _ _
