Fantastic! Love hearing Great (Gilmour) solos - Live or Memorex. Just another extraordinary example of the Guitar/Amp/FX/Mic modeling of the VG-8/88 series. Long live the Roland VG-8!!! I still use it Live to play a broad range of 50's/60's/70's material. Nothing does it better. Major Kudos on your Hard Work!
Beautifully played - love the Gibson Nighthawk - just bought one myself, but with just a P90 & Standard Gibson Humbucker. Lovely sound though. Would love a reissue of the type you're playing though - real cool.
Hi, I was wondering how did you manage to get the original backing track without the actual solo on it. Could you let me know please? Thanks and BTW good job.
Nice, I like the occassional notes you've added yourself. Trying to learn to play it myself for a school show, but mine sounds no-where near as good as that :(
I am sure that you have had lots of posts about this and have moved on but any how, nice job, David Gilmour uses a Nova Delay pedal with a double delay setting played through a compressor/sustain pedal though the tone you had was very close indeed 5*
very good...and good sound, I just uploaded my first version of that solo, I did hard work on getting as close as possible to the original, but my equipment for sound and video is not good.
That's a lot better than pub cover bands, Floyd tribute bands.. or even session guitairists manage when playing with Roger Waters. Not Gilmour.. but very good, certainly as good as Snowy White or Jeff Beck. I saw Eric Clapton screw it up at Earls Ct '84 with Roger, bloody awful he was!! Keep playing..!! very good! The only thing missing..! is Gilmour seems to be able to hit a 'resonance.' & he did record it on a Les Paul..
ppardee, i think that it sounds much bluesy because it has some drive - the original recording is: "clean signal heavily gated/compressed into the mixing desk, then fed through a Mesa/Boogie amp and back into the mixing desk"
Good stuff man. The only suggest I have is regarding the bends; Gilmour has a tendency not to put too much vibrato on any of his notes. If any at all, it's a light, slow vibrato on the end of a note. His bends are all very slow and deliberate. Maybe throw a little of that in there and it'll be perfect. Great playing.
do you have any idea how hard ive tried to get that tone!!! i mean seriously, ive tried adding gain, taking it away, adding mid taking it away, switching guitars, switching amps, and im still not close. its the late eric clapton and gilmour tone and i REALLLLLY want it.
Awesome work dude, 99.9% flawless but 10000000X better than i can do it.
HA HA . I Always thought that the lead break in The Wall was the best example of a Statocaster sound you could ever hear, Until i heard that the actual studio recording was done on a Gibson.... silly me, But fuck - what a fat full sound Mr Gilmore creates.. unmatched on that particular track.
That was brilliant and love the guitar sound. what guitar is it your using, dont recognise it. One thing that bugs me when i listen to this video, is you go a tiny little fraction to sharp on the big bends, appart from that its really good, so far ive not met anyone who can play that second to last riff, your nearly got it, you started the riff in right place but need to stay there to get it. id love an honest opinion from you of my solo, a cover of the live one.. its in my videos cheers davey
very goood!!!

So he should go buy a Strat, just to post videos on Youtube?
Besides, I'm pretty sure Gilmour used a Les Paul with P90's in it when he recorded that solo.
