selection and go from there.
And…..how do you create a shape whose colour is a gradient ? The shape must not be filled.

Really, if you want to use photoshop further, RTFM AND buy and READ some books. There ain’t such thing as a "create a gradient-coloured shape" tool. Nonetheless, there are several ways to do it (see below) but in order to find a solution to this kind of a problem, you need a basic understanding of photoshop.
Here’s a HowTo
Create a black shape as described by Bob on a layer of its own, create another layer on top of this layer, Expand the selection you used to create the shape until it contains the whole shape and fill it with the desired gradient. Click on the boundary between the two layers in the layers rollup while pressing the alt key. This restricts the visibility of the top layer to the non-transparent part of the bottom layer. Merge down the top layer.
