Re: Gilmour and his Scales
I believe that CN is in B (or something), while Time is in F#.
Or something... I'm not good on keys...

Not all of it. He also uses the blues-scale, doesn't he?

Re: Gilmour and his Scales
Yeah, I suppose you could say he does... he adds some passing notes which *could* make it a blues scale.

Re: Gilmour and his Scales
Probably. In fact in Dorian is just pentatonic with a couple of more notes. Not that im an expert, I just think thats it.

Re: Gilmour and his Scales
His solos in "Dogs" employ a jazz scale that is reminiscent of both major and minor scales. Because of the chord progression it's difficult to determine the exact scale he uses, but his solos are generally based on the scale of the song's key... in this case Dm
