GUITAR PLAYER: DAVID GILMOUR

Guitar Player 2009 | GIAMPAOLO NOTO

Per quanti di voi non lo avessero giร  comprato, segnalo che su Guitar Player di Gennaio 2009 (USA) c’e’ una bellissima intervista a David Gilmour… veramente da gustare fino all’ultima riga.

Per non incorrere in problemi relativi al copyright non riporto l’intera intervista… ma solo un passaggio:

Guitar Player: Do you think in terms of scales and conventional harmony, or are you playing more intuitively?

David Gilmour: I have no idea about scales. I didnโ€™t really know what scales I use, or even that I was using anything unusual, until I started playing the saxophone. I would be playing for my sax teacher, and heโ€™d say, โ€œOh, youโ€™re playing in Slombonian and Lilliputian,โ€ and Iโ€™d have no idea what he meant. He would play me that scale, and I would say, โ€œYeah, I guess that sounds like the choice of notes that seems to be right for me at that particular moment.โ€ He was quite surprised at the variety of different scales that are a part of my normal working palette. Iโ€™m not trying to sound like an idiot savantโ€”I know my stuffโ€”but I donโ€™t know all the names of the different scales.

Genio allo stato puro.
