David Gilmour Tone meets Paul Reed Smith 305 Tontest between Black Strat Mesa Boogie Mark V HD

[charlesenn]

It doesn't hurt to have a zillion dollars worth of Marshall amps behind you either. I could "tone up" a $75 dimestore Harmony strat copy and make it sound like a million dollars with all that. I like your playing though, you have an awesome style!

[M4X71cv]

Great!!



[tatersalad573]

great job man, the tone and playing ......AWESOME

[jnitro75]

im a prs fan all the way and my god you perfected gilmours sound ! you should give lessons on his playing style !

[homedefender83]

Very beautiful playing but it just doesnt have that Straty sound.

[gage816]

how did you get the stereo effect. 2 amp or are you mixing into 2 speakers

[d145807]

Man this is great!! ... fits right into my Gilmour,, Jeff beck and Roy Buchanan playlists

[MrGeorgIvanov]

Man, I've been watching your videos for a while. Your tone is heaven-sent, perfect! But you should write a backing track more enjoyable than this back and forth thing and work on a melody for the guitar, not just improvising and going nowhere. Maybe adding some chorus parts to the song.

[MG180Man]

I wish I could do this

[dem1275]

So cool, great video!

[dem1275]

So cool, great video!

[SplatterGuitar]

What delay pedal did you use?? And wich setting? Cool video! ;)

[MrJoeyDoe]

Unbelievable!

[papalazerus22]

would be nice to afford !! this gear !!

[pipsqueek14]

you play great. fantastic tone and feeling.

BTW you look like Jan Akkerman. thats our dutch guitar hero

[philrob110]

That is beautiful. THE clean/OD tone I am chasing.

[SOBRANTE409]

Excellent tone sir. Mesa and PRS are my standard

[574jmann]

Excellent...please tell me, where did get this backing track?

[carpediemgr]

what a tone !!!  what fingers !!!

[allfloyd816]

I got so overwhelmed I misspelled lullaby..lol

[allfloyd816]

like a sweet lullably to me...

[pinoyblues]

which one is better the 305 or swamp ash special narrowfield? I cant decide help please!!! thanks!!!

[Schnullyman]

@pinoyblues Hi my Friend . So one clear Answer - 305 its bedder

[surfnorthwest1]

Different vibe then a good quality Strat but none the less fantastic tone.

[ROBYRH4]

ciao che tipo di reverbero usare ? dal mixer?

[TheThepurplebird]

dressing like tom petty will not make you famous

[DiomedesTididax]

PRS 305 = best strat tone around

[jumbofrets2011]

@DiomedesTididax idk  call me crazy but i always thought the strat had the best strat tone around.

[LesPaulFreak10]

Only Axl and Chuck Norris had he video name across the whole screen ! :) xD

[fed71]

it's funny to find somebody who plays glimour's style better than gilmour himself...

[PRSpl4yer]

Was that a custom order from PRS in black with the birds?

[FlorianWZ]

@PRSpl4yer It's probably a 25th anniversary model (headstock has the 25th an. logo). I think you can still find some new.

[jmillett12]

Sir great job on this, your playing and tone are great for sure. I am a beginner, can you tell me if this tone achievable with just the mesa boogie mark V with the el 34 powertubes and the 513 pickups in the 305? Or is there something else you are using as far as effects processors or pedals?? Thank you so much and God bless you, your talent is amazing

[CREWDOG289]

what effects are you using?

[MrJcsettlemyre]

its funny, hes got a stack of Marshall heads, yet hes playing through a Boogie... does that tell you anything?

[jonnyhturbo]

A true test of tone would be paly it clean with maybe a little reverb. anything would sound good with all those effects you are using.

[PRSpl4yer]

Damnit. I have money down on a Mira... but that black 305 is sexy to the core. Now I'm going to have to buy two guitars :/

[PauloEPedroso]

Awesome tone man, I have a Fender myself with some "Gilmoured" pickups and I don´t get as close as you did! Congrats!

[1947JimS]

Really Excellent Axl.

Im still waiting Your setting Alt mann

[captaaron1]

what are you using to make your backing tracks???????????

[mattsavedbygracengai]

hey, i was wondering if you could give me some advice on a delay pedal to get Gilmore's tone. im currently playing 2010 Experience Custom 24 through an egnater tweaker.

[thefreem35]

id say your tone is a mix between clapton and knopfler. both strat players. but smooth tone that prs is known for and with great distortion

[sydfloydpink]

your strat sounds way better

[420highhopes]

you really need an ass kicking band. great sound

[L0nkero]

Beautiful playing!

[2khawk]

i could listen to you play all day! beautiful!

[spekulatius90]

awesome.....

[Howardtripper]

Hi I would love to know what pickups are in that guitar.

[Schnullyman]

@Howardtripper hi picks are PRS pick ups from the Modell 513

[aninstrumentalvision]

Most excellent!

[Schnullyman]

@aninstrumentalvision Thanks for this very nice Comment

[teleman1280]

Yeah obviously .it is what other effects. Reverb? Bit of delay?

[teleman1280]

Is this through a markv?

[Schnullyman]

@teleman1280 hy my Friend .Yes i always used the Master of Tone the Boogie Mark V with EL 34 Power Tubes

[teleman1280]

Man this is seriously one of the best gyuitar tones I have heard

[boscoboys]

I will pay to watch you LIVE. I mean it.

[Schnullyman]

@boscoboys HY my Friend.Tangs for your nice Comment .Yes you can see me Live on Stage-You must come to Germany . but we work for one Tour in Europe End 2011

[NR2112]

Dude your video makes me happy I ordered a 513. Cant wait! ---- one qustion----How do you get your effects in this video?

[Schnullyman]

@NR2112 HY Dude -Wow an 513 ? Please let me know when you get them.Please send my an Vid or Pictures .Al my Effects are from Final Cut Studio Full Version by Appel MAC .All my Vids i render on two MAC Machines .

Hey look at my new Vid .Chill out is the Name .

[NR2112]

@Schnullyman I just checked it out this morning. I like how YouTube will tell me when you have a new video. VERY helpful. I will show you videos and sounds when my 513 come in! Thanks !

[Schnullyman]

@NR2112 HY on this Vid i use one old Ibanez TS808 Tubescreamer one old Eventide Timefactor Delay and one New Vox Signature Satriani Delay .Reverb comes from Master by Steinberg Wave Lab .Thats al .

[hardyfridge]

@NR2112 Great tone! You'll love the 513. I have two with Brazilian rosewood necks which i bought four years ago and i love them, as they have great soul! Have a few prs's and also the DG strat. You can get this floydie tone from quite a few PRS's and the reason why i choose them above Gibson.

[NR2112]

@hardyfridge Got the 513 and love it. warmest, creamiest guitar ive ever played so far. Videos coming up. thanks for the gear list axl!

[Mr5CHNELL]

Axl - you are an outstanding musician. It's so nice to hear someone who truly feels what they are playing. You succeed in summoning the distinctive sound of David while still delivering something heartfelt and original.

Shine on - das ist wunderbar.

[Rozq87]

FUCKING YEAH!!! nothing more, nothing less!!! BRILLIANT MY FRIEND!!

Paul

[paintdrink]

Beautiful tone and you really know how to rock a cravat!
