Pink Floyd - Sorrow solo

[brucecornell]

hi great cover, what model of strat is that ? are they dg20 pick ups ?

[brucecornell]

Hi awsome playing, is that emg dg20's you've got on your strat, great sound, tone :-)

[lucasrenguero79]

very good friend! awesome guitar .. I know very little English Argentina) which are wanted Effect saver that you use? regards

[gamesman1231]

i am a beginner and is this song easy to play, also can you PLEASE me the notes for this song

[Pelezinjo84]

Tnx for this bro...awesome work :)

[stubear101]

anyone with that kind of talant is ok in my books

[ezrego]

For the interested parties, David's red and blonde strats didn't actually have a V neck, they were a C. believe it or not.

[UltmateMy]

hello!!!

i love this song, do you have a tab for the 2nd solo?

Please!

thx

[hessdx1]

sir gilmours gonna be pissed ! looks like somebody stole his red strat. awesome video ! thanks

[sbandat90]

do you use big muff?

[frippstar47]

after all the ? remarks....just wanted to say you done kicked ass. whatever pickups and wood you were playing through. it all ended up to be what it was going to be.....thats GILMOUR!

[mumaguma79]

Well done Septimius! It's beautiful and beautifully played. I've been using the video to learn the solo. I'm fascinated by this version. Not quite in the same order, but "fascinating" is also a word that comes to mind when I read the comment wrestle below...

[lozvik]

that was excellent, u certainly have the gilmour sound

[EMGstrat1]

hi make a leson slow version

[Kelidar]

fantastic... fantastisch! the feeling of hearty :)

thanks!!!!!!!!!!

[fastfirenick]

dude no offence but its not like david gilmours red strat at all his strat is a 1983 57 reissue with a maple v neck

[Septimius]

yeah, and mines totally not a 57 reissue with a maple v-neck. Can't you comment on the music instead of something besides the point?

[gilisfloyd]

people need to find something to bitch about don't they...i'd take it as a compliment if he's bitching about your guitar and not your guitar playing.......well done...

[Septimius]

thanks :D

[fastfirenick]

look dude im sorry about that you did a great job a few higher notes than expcted but great but still im a guy whos always tells it how it is

[dmdt1313]

dude, who cares what guitar ur playing; it's the music that counts! Hell Gilmour's my favorite guitarist and I don't even own a strat! haha Well, I do have a G&L strat, but you get the idea. Actually, I can get a pretty convincing Gilmour tone (dirty) w/ either my LP Gold-top (DLX) or my crappy Tele!! Really, David doesn't have that traditional 'strat" tone like Hendrix did.. look @ Another brick (pt. 2) solo - he did that on a LP Gold-Top! Altho, when he plays clean you kinda need a strat!

[esjclipes]

if you cannot awnser to other questions besides the music i don't think you would be a good musician.

but, anyway, good playing.

[crk1121]

He said it bears a resemblance, not that it is like Gilmour's. It's a red strat with EMG pickups, I'd say that definitely bears a resemblance.

By the way what kind of guitar do YOU have????????

[fastfirenick]

dude how fucking long ago was that you fucking freak and why the hell are you asking me what kind of guitar i have which is a #0002 1956 olympic white standard stratcaster with Kluson tuners and Fender CS '56 pickups you probably no nothing about guitars yourself / you probably just started guitar because of fucking guitar hero you fucking poser

[mouloudo]

what you dont get is that he was being sarcastic, IT IS a 57's reissue with a maple V neck and EMG's

[fastfirenick]

what are you talking about how do you know that he was talking sarcastically because he wasn't he said it bares a resemblance dude just mind your business because i said something about this like 5 months ago and someone brought it back

[mouloudo]

because the guitar IS a 57's strat, you still dont get it! I know it's old, but dont say something publicly on the most visited sharing site in the world if you dont want people to react to your comments

[mouloudo]

"yeah, and mines totally not a 57 reissue with a maple v-neck" if you dont see sarcasm here...

[fastfirenick]

damn you fucking retard ok i get it that if you put scare quotes on your sentence its sarcasm ok yeah yeah but what you dont get is he was not talking in sarcasm he said it to be for real because david had a regular looking standard strat his looks like one too ok so just shut the fuck up right now you are just making a fool of your self

[mouloudo]

dude you're like the dumbest fucker around, you say " that's not the same guitar as gilmour cause that's not a '57 strat with a V shaped neck" he answers by saying " that's totally not a 57 strat with a V shaped neck" meaning " of course that's a 57 strat with a V shaped neck you stupid cunt" and you still dont get it so I'll say it again : THAT IS A 57 strat with a V SHAPED NECK, what is the part you dont get you moron? you cant have a closer guitar to the the red strat...

[fastfirenick]

yeah because all it is a standard strat you fucking dip fuck nigger ass tit bitch asshole cunt vaginal testicular cancer patient fucker go suck on david gilmours left nut you slash dick you gay guitar hero fucker

[mouloudo]

nice point, I'll say one last time, that is a 57 strat, gilmour had a 57 strat, it is candy apple red, he had an candy apple red strat, he had a V shaped neck, htis one has too like every 57 strat, it has EMG's like Gilmour's, I dont what you need , have a nice day stoopid

[mouloudo]

know*

[fastfirenick]

well ok here you ignorant fuck where does it say it is a 57 strat and v neck phsss stop thinking you know everything FOOL

[mouloudo]

he says it on other videos meathead, and it's ovious if you're not totally ignorant about stratocasters... haha and you call me ignorant, you dont know a fly shit about what you're talking about noob

[fastfirenick]

hey look meathead ITS Spelled (obvious)

and what are you talking about im ignorant about stratocasters ok maybe i never checked his other videos and also saying his strat is like david gilmours is like saying one of davids new strat models is like his own black strat ok and remember this (both of) his red strats the pick ups have low impedance active EMG-SA single coils with Alnico magnets with EXG mid-cut/expander and SPC mid booster and a Shortened tremolo arm NOW WHAT

[Septimius]

Thank you for the heated dispute about my guitar and my sarcasm. Mouloudo is completely right; it was sarcasm. The More You Know, fastfirenick.

[fastfirenick]

umm well why the hell would you put sarcasm up on a video for no damn reason see the thing is people who want to be someone else is a fag people who make there own stuff is awsome the more you know fucker

[Septimius]

Nice comeback.

[fastfirenick]

i thought it was your, comeback was pretty cool too

[Septimius]

it's funny because it's sarcasm.

[fastfirenick]

yeah i know but i wont tell he he ha ha

[Septimius]

Yup!

[OBTIGORR]

chuvak da ti super .... !!!

[kingdo100]

wow great!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[skypemanager]

[richard737800]

Awsome !! the tone is perfect!

Nice guitar !!  is it a 57' ?

[9841496228]

hey if i have to buy a similar guitar like the one u r playing , how much does it cost?? please let me know and the place where i can find ... also the name of the guitar ,, i want to give it as a present to my small brother who loves pink floyd like me

[penntocali]

Dude, this is great!

Only comments:

2:30 What happended there?

3:06 Not so good drop/break

3:20+ Too much - key wrong.

But other than a few seconds, four and half minutes of excellent Gilmore impression. About a 1000 times better than I could ever do.

[ChablesMan]

Pretty damn good.

I like the gold hardware too. It's a nice touch on a classic Gilmour-style finish.

[Septimius]

Hehe, it's actually just the lighting that makes it seem gold :)

[fenderbuzz]

Septimius...you mentioned...after "playing the guitar for only a year".

I don't want to seem light on security, myself...but you MUST mean...THIS GUITAR. If you have only been "playing guitar" for a year when you posted this video...I quit! You have done a very good job on this solo no matter how long you have played. If only a year...go find some band members and a studio...you'll be need one before this year is up! Great job...keep it up.

[Septimius]

Thanks :) Yup, this was posted two years ago. I had only owned a guitar for a year and I no prior knowledge other than piano stuff. About time I make a vid of this, eh? ;)

[mpbadaro]

Great..congratulations!

[pinkfloydrule27]

Great cover I love playing sorrow probably the funnest floyd song to play

[samw391]

What guitar is it, i know its a strat/strat style but is it fender, squier or another company. 5 stars

[Septimius]

I don't think there's a point to dealing with strat styles than original stratocasters. American made too ;D

[Fenderfan1975]

GREAT and FANTASTIC. 5 Stars and more.......

[dirtracenfan23]

bad ass solo!!

[AngusShanks]

setup ?

[joserfreitas]

This is awesome. I watch it almost every day. It's inspiring.

[Septimius]

Thanks a lot :)

[zatnectel]

amazing :D

[vwgonza]

great man , congratulations!! thxs!

[yankeefan21192]

what kind of fxs do you have on?

[Septimius]

Big Muff Pi, Compression Sustainer, sine chorus.

[arrotamiltan]

settings for the bif muff and the chorus please

[Septimius]

60% drive, 48 gai, 45 tone. 50 on both depth and mix with chorus with a whole-note tempo (in the tempo of the song). I don't use this patch anymore, though, and I'm building my own Big Muff (BYOC).

[arrotamiltan]

I asked cause I have a ME-50 and I'm looking for cool tones like DAVE's

[jeffmay1]

Not to many guitarists impress me on here but that was very well done.

[curicaveri1968]

Bravo!!! Aplause !!!

[brandon9689]

There is only one attempt of the original that is posted(its like 3 minutes). You seem more than talented enough to do it. Maybe you could give it a run and post

I know its a rather akward solo, but there are parts of it that i can't help but like.

Do you think its possible to create the tone of the original with EMG pickups? Thats what I have and I don't think I will be able to.

[mitchellhung]

Tone is all in the fingers, but pickups can help.

And by the way the rest of your post doesn't make sense.

[Septimius]

Rather, the finesse of a tone lies in the fingers. It's virtually impossible to recreate David's tone because of the massive rig, but even if you were hooked up to it, the vibrato and overall feel is a whole other level of mastering.

[Septimius]

The original solo is played with a Steinberger GL headless guitar, and actually played live in a statium in LA, so it'll be very hard to replicate. Besides, the tone is very cold and a tad boring IMO, so you should rather try and make the live sound ;D

[tahoe4u]

A damn fine job, dude.

You definately know every chord and feel the atmosphere of the song.

There were some awkward pauses — at least seven I counted — during the transitional change ups, but I don't think it was you so much as you were compensating for some lag in the organ/percussion area.

[Septimius]

thanks :)

Yeah, those small stutters and 'insecurities' is the result of the small finesses not being in place after having played the guitar for only a year. I'm considering making a new version of this song, since it's been a while since I posted this ;p

[MacrosTheNaked]

you go that dude, I'd be quite interested in hearing it.

[FallenPhantom54]

great playing

for that last bit ( the recap of the intro ) how did you get that feedback or pinch harmonic? it sounded exactly like the live version

[Septimius]

3rd fret - lightly touch string

[ObiManMDQ]

which string?

[DavySolaris]

awesome playing.

the solos from pulse and the other live recordings are all so much better than the horrible, directionless, awkward solo on the recorded version of Sorrow. gotta love this.

[BENGALtiger87]

nice playing!

[brandon9689]

those are nice pickups, i know you are using the pod xt live but would you recommend a boss gt-8 for this and other floyd songs? I hear it is also very versatile

[Septimius]

I wouldn't know.

[jzcode]

Sounds great! Could you tell me what pedals you are using. Did you use the EMG DG20 pick gaurd or install the pickups onto the Fender pick gaurd? Thanks, JZcode

[Septimius]

I'm using a Compression Sustainer CS3 and my PodXT Live. Other than that, nothing. This is the DG20s installed on a white pickguard. The pearl's just plain ugly.

[kashmir1976]

You're awesome dude! Keep this good stuff coming ;-)

[quartrmster007]

The tremolo arm looks to me to be the short one like David has...where did you get it?

[Septimius]

That's right. I made it myself, bu cutting of the excess metal and glueing the top back on.

[topspurs]

absolute quality mate! thats all i can say!!

[Septimius]

cheers, mate.

[GuitarZzann]

Sweet dude! What kind of guitar and how much it cost you? I'm looking to buy one.

[Septimius]

the guitar was $800, but with the DG20, the '57 bridge and the '57 vintage neck, I'd say it's worth around $1500, if not more, just in parts. But I wouldn't sell it for under $2000 :p

[ansris]

well done! do you have a tab? tks

[Septimius]

done by ear.

[digisol]

Well done. Sounds totaly spot on.

[crispimbarros]

genial bravoooooooooooooooo

[rogergilmour]

This my first ever comment on youtube and i've been registered for almost two years.I've benn waiting for the right video to post my first comment and this is it

[Septimius]

Thanks for the honor, mate.

[kraaam]

great playing mate, well done

[voga]

can you send me the tabs? :}

[Septimius]

Did it all by ear. You should do that, too.

[z1barrie]

fuckin world class palying

[dbmcmillan]

Great job! The tone sounds so similar to Gilmour's. What amp and effects did you use?

[tmick7]

SPOT ON! You should be proud.

[miggez]

Im a 43 yrs old proguitarist and i just wanna say that your doin a excellent job.... spounds spot on like the original on the phrasing and thats extremely difficult to do w gilmours style of playing..... keep the notes a 10000s of a second longer on the long notes and ur there... take care and good luck bro....

[Septimius]

nice to hear :) And even better when I feel, myself, that this isn't too good of a video, anymore. It's been 8 months at this point, and I can pretty safely say that I've improved well in some fields. Cheers!

[motokev]

WOW, I'm impressed.....great SOLO !!! 5 stars

great backing also.....

[teofaouaz]

Very nice! DG's like solo. I think that your Strat is equiped with EMG SA's, right? What was the amp and effects used? The tone is very close to the DG's red Strat.

[denndubist]

he sucks? why do you say that? i gues your not a guitar player he. Its just perfect how you play:p

[IronSquirrel891]

nice

[JP2790]

you suck=)

[eddiemolmol]

FIVE STARS MAN

[Septimius]

Cheers, mate

[SpartanHawk]

All by ear? Thats good stuff man, you play just like him too. How do you get that tone though? It sounds so big and really crunchy. I have some of the equip which I heard he used like a big muff, active emgs, I have a 100watt marshall and a 150watt line 6. Is there a certain setting I should have on my amp and big muff..?

[alexsl23]

how do u get the feedback, like at the end on ur podxt?, coz iv got one and cant get feedback like that at all, could it be settings, the amp or pickups?

[Septimius]

It's not feedback. Nor does David use feedback. He actually manages to pull forth a harmonic, using the whammy and his effects. That's what I do too.

[alexsl23]

how do u do that harmonic?

[Septimius]

It involves a sort of inexplainable process. You see, a tone touches more than one frequency, so if you play a string, all the harmonics will "be" in that tone. And what I've managed to do is to use my whammy just right, and that way pull furth that tremolo. David's much more skilled, and can do some tones I don't even understand, but the essense if it, in my eyes, is just using the whammy right, with a good sustaining sound, like the one I have in this vid.

[manimalgr]

I want send me the full Tab please . You play very good

I found bad tabs from Internet but not soo good like your

[Septimius]

I learnt to play it by ear, which you should try out, too.

[bookoz]

awesome job!

in my opinion, the best performance on the pulse dvd and you nailed it

[killer47blade]

great solo..

[nelly1232123]

fuckin awesome sound + good technique = brilliant result

(plz comment my videos) :)

[davidgilmour1234]

hi geeza, get a spring from a pen, stretch it a bit, then take the tremolo arm out, put the spring in the hole, put the tremolo back in, it will be less loose and stay in position better, good work by the way..

[nbafan110]

sounds almost like the Pulse concert version..nevertheless, it sounds really good.

[MetalMatt2510]

Great job dude, one of my favourites by Pink Floyd. I love David Gilmour, you got the tone spot on.

[supern00b]

goddamn, a hiwatt? how much was it? also, what does a compressor do? ultimate-guitar forums dont help

[Septimius]

It's simulated through my PodXT Live, so I don't have a physical hiwatt. A compressor makes that sweet, sweet sustain. Or it can be used as a limiter. Whatever you need. It gives my heavier tones that extra bite.

[supern00b]

Hey, thanks for the prompt answers....can u list all your gear? [because i doubt you have a hiwatt]

[Septimius]

My guitar is an American 2004 Strat with a Vintage '57 neck, now also with a Vintage '57 bridge (featured in my Comfortably Numb video). Shortened tremolo arm for comfort. DG20 pick-up setup.

Effect path:

Compression Sustainer (CS-3) -> [ A gate -> Big Muff Pi -> Sine Chorus -> Digital Delay -> Verb -> HiWatt 100 -> 1978 Marshall with Stock 70s cabinet ]*

*[ all through a PodXT Live ]

[supern00b]

a big muff?

[Septimius]

Big muff pi.

[supern00b]

for the distrotion, do you use a fuzz?

[Septimius]

yes

[cdfb]

Need more of these about.

[Septimius]

Cheers. I'm also thinking about doing the 8-track solo on Pigs on The Wings, Marooned, Cluster One, On The Turning Away and maybe a new version of this.

[Tjoppy]

Nice dude!

[donk70]

Good tone

[mahender6969]

KID IS REALLY GOOD,

[Kelidar]

respect...! you can play the next concert with

Pink Floyd... ;-)

have a nice time :-)

[GuitarSlinger2112]

Tone is excellent. Really great job. If you don't mind a small crit, you go too fast and deep with the vibrato throughout the piece. Seven seconds in being the first example that I'm referring to and then 32 and 36 seconds and so on in a few more spots. But I still give this as close to a ten as can get just because your tone and feel are otherwise excellent. Great work.

[Septimius]

I enjoy critics from someone that knows what they talk about. I'll try and work on it. I don't normally use the tremolo for vibrato all too much. Besides, with my new bridge it's a whole different feel.

[motokev]

very good in deed

[harlee1400]

Boy you can play good ,how old are you.

[Septimius]

I'm 18.

[crystaldrano]

niceee!

[jhugger]

Very nice, in every way! Your tone and feel is perfect. Couple of questions. Did you do the EMG install yourself and where did you get the backing track? Did you cut down your own trem bar?

[Septimius]

I bought the DG20, but that pickguard it comes preassembled on is rather hideous. So, I installed it on my white pickguard myself. It's not a hard task, and only requires a little bit of soldering.

I made the backing track myself. I don't have a bass-guitar, so I just used my whammy to lower my guitar 1 octave.

I used a multitool to cut down the trem arm myself. That was easy, what I'm going to do next is to make a bend on a cut down trem arm.

[MetalMatt2510]

Pretty cool.

[digisol]

Very good, sounds just right. Are you using AMG's?

[lucassahm]

what's your equipments???

[Septimius]

My guitar is an American 2004 Strat with a Vintage '57 neck. Shortened tremolo arm for comfort. David Gilmour DG20 pick-up setup.

[redhouse1985]

Where did you get the money to buy a Hiwatt 100?

[Septimius]

I didn't actually use an amp here, it's all through my PodXT live, which emulates a HiWatt 100. Good sound, eh?

[redhouse1985]

Hell yeah man, it has alot to do with the emgs too, which im getting for xmas O YEAH! So are you going direct in to your soundcard? Or do you have an amp there? Also, do you have the patch that you used for that sound? Or could give me some tips on how to get that sound

[Septimius]

Oh, you're not getting the patch, but I did say the stuff I used :) USB to my comp for sound transfer.

[kennyb270]

pretty good, but i was referring to the have a cigar solo. anyways good job

[sluggo243]

nice fender and awesome playing. what kind of amp and effects do you use? did you learn from a tab or just from listening to the song?

[Septimius]

I've played for two years, and I have never had a guitar lesson. Learnt all from playing along.

Great job! Finally someone did a Sorrow cover. It features some of Dave's most heart wrenching playing.

[Septimius]

Gotta love it :)
