  • very goood!!!

  • this is a very good cover of ABITW!

    even if it's not in the Girmour style, yours is very round and fluid...

    kind of Santana, I'd say...

    nice!

  • 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!

  • dAVID GRABO EL MITICO SOLO CON UNA "LES PAUL".

  • great ... great play you need only do it with a Stratocaster

  • when david played this song live, he used a les paul guitar

  • very sweet sound, love it : )

  • very good....... Oo

  • muy buena

    100%

  • 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.

  • Wow .. nice cover. Nice tone. I dub thee Pink-Night-Hawk-Floyd. :) I wonder if the VG-99 has the same PF tone.

  • Wow man almost note by note , i think this is the one of the best covers on youtube!!! :)

  • @PRISI0NER0123 you should check out the one by "happyguitarplayer", his is definately the best on youtube, but this one is still awesome

  • A Les Paul with single Coils works great.

  • 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.

  • @Italicorum3500 gilmourish[dot]com this is good

  • 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 :(

  • Why anybody would give this a thumbs down is beyond me,

  • Very nicely done! Nice guitar.. !

  • Great playing. The tone is spot-on.

  • is this lespaul ?

  • Pretty much spot on. Love it. Bit i also like it when you put something of yourself in it and not only trying to imitate.

  • Hi,

    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*

  • no mandes fruta chabon

  • good job man..

  • excellent cover!

  • awsome!!!

  • good job man...

  • Brilliant

  • hey dude perfect cover! loved the sound what amp are you using man?

  • gibson nighthawk??

  • sick cover. Nice clean soundin guitar ;)

  • great tone and playing, check out my version..

  • rly nice what effects you use for that tone?

  • wow

  • nice sound

  • Very nice video!! What kind of guitar do you have?

  • very good video man!

  • es cojonudo !! que buen sonido!! muy bien !! congratulations

  • God! you´re ROCK!

  • Excellent

  • Nice

  • Excellent, you have got very very close to Gilmour's sound, lovelly lyrical tone and playing. Congrats - get on the phone to Waters quick!

  • good job guy!

    I have the same guitar.

  • 5 stars.... excellent!!

  • excellent work friend! happy xmas! :D

  • =O no words.

  • Beautiful playing man.

  • Great sound. Great cover...

    ...and please take good care of that guitar? :]

  • Fanfuckintastic.....

  • did u add that middle pickup in your nighthawk? nice idea...

  • Really nice bends. I always liked the Nighthawk. Care to sell it?

  • Not quite the snap of the Les Paul but the Night Hawk is a very worthy rig. Nice feel...

  • smooth

  • fantastic!!!!i love this sound!!!!

  • very delicious and refreshing tone with a lot of feeling and genuine execution style

  • Comment removed

  • You are a champion.

  • perfeito...sem palavras

  • PERFECT MAN!!!!5 STARS

  • 10/10 mate note perfect you just reminded me how far away I am from getting it right.......well played.

  • great sound, awesome

  • 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.

  • Awesome.

  • easily the best cover of this solo on youtube

  • @jimbobmcgrath what about duey101?

  • @aleksandarfriscic no this is better imo, nice tone i think but duey101 isfarely savag!

  • Unica esecuzione degna e piuttosto curata. VERY GOOD!

  • this is really smooth

  • Tha guitar is so damn smooth man, your playing is also top drawer... :)

  • You caught the feel and everything here. You must have spent a bit of time studying that solo. Top marks. Fricken A.

  • omg.

  • Ottima cover,e ottimo twang,davvero fenomenale

  • superb mate ...all you dicks who say it doesnt sound the same go fook off !!

    does it really matter what guitar or pups you use ??

  • This is amazing man..

  • 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..

  • excelente! igual a Gilmour

  • excellent !.. I put you on my homepage ok ?

  • 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.

  • @GaryLeeMcKinney uhh no? strat yes.

  • @GaryLeeMcKinney - indeed..this solo is been recorded with a LP 59.

  • @Italicorum3500 actually it was a 55 lp

  • Comment removed

  • It's selfmodified Gibson?

  • Very, very nice!! Almost perfect!! Keep it up, man..

  • I must say, very nice in deed....

  • luv the Nighthawk. Gibson's big mistake discontinuing it.....

  • sweet verry nice

  • best cover.

  • GREAT,man5*****!!!!!

  • very good vibrato :)

  • *very very kick ass sweeeeet*

    keepit rock'n. :)

    peace~~

  • nice touch, great sound.perfect cover imo

    5 stars from me dude :)

  • tres bien joué bon son

  • muy bueno man!!!!!!

  • Will you post the VG88 settings? Which amp sim, etc?

  • wow very nice man...i dunno how u get that close to the sound without a strat :P amazing

  • roland VG88 pickup it can emulate almost any guitar pickup/tone whatever

  • wow...how much does it cost? :P

  • 716 bucks for the system and 195 for the GK-3 pickup so like 1000 bucks- the fender VG strat has one in it

  • oh ok i know what it is now :P thx for the clarification :)

  • sorry its the vg99 with it is 1400 bucks and the GK-3 with the GR-20 is 700 bucks. The Gr-20 looks cool

  • Gilmour actually used a P90 equiped Les Paul on the original recording of this solo, not a strat. Great tone and playing nighthawk!

  • pretty good but you need to learn where to bend or get your fingers strong enough to bend that far but good job overall

  • whats your name ? David ? :))

  • though its not 100% accurate. This is the best video ive seen so far. your playing style is so clean, its just stunning

  • Excellent job man - sounds very close to the original!

  • the sound is very close to the original and the playing is amazing, good job man! : )

  • amaizinggggggggg

  • Very good. But how you make the drums+bass background ?

  • what guitar is this anyone know?

  • Gibson Night Hawk

  • Beautiful !!! I wish to have a go myself now i have bought my new Boss GT10 . Real sweet

  • What you need is a big muff pedal. Gilmour often used that pedal, such as the solo in Time.

    Great play though. :)

  • hehe big muff

  • great, but I saw several versions, and nobody play twosteps bendings like David Gilmour, in the part C D E notes

  • Great job!

    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"

  • Awesome job! Sounds much more bluesy than the studio version, but I don't know what is different. :(

  • Excellent solo.

  • Are you really playing it? It sounds just like the real thing.

  • Boy that was really sweet, sounds like the real thing, Congratulations 5*****;) Billy ;)

  • Man your tone is great!!! This Guit nails the Gibson Lespaul tone! Can you tell me your amp/effects set-up?!

    Sweet performance - 5 stars

  • Spot on, loved it.

  • incredible¡¡¡ you play the same solo...I could touch that but you are the best

  • sounded very nice

  • Awesome man!!

    Could you check out my attempt?its not as good as this, but i had a go lol.

  • The wall solo was played by Guilmour with a 50's gibson les paul gold top with 2 p 90 pickups.

  • PERFETTO!!! GRAZIE!!!

  • Excellent !!!

  • very good

  • Comment removed

  • yeah,pretty sweet.

  • 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.

  • wow preety sweet btw what kind of effect are you using ?

  • Fantástica la ejecución y fantástico el sonido. ¿Para cuando un tutorial o una lección del sólo?.

    Un saludo desde Madrid.

  • Very nice work

  • Simply fantastic.

  • 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.

    Peace out

  • 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.

  • fuck class man , check mine

  • good one... not so damn easy to do it well - just look at the others.

  • It is very hard to play with the feel that David plays with..but damn if you didn't pull it off...kudos,kudos,kudos

  • best cover i've ever seen!! brilliant!

  • 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

  • Awesome! Very well done.

  • when i first heard it i thought it was dave...your great 5 stars

  • wow you nailed the tone! you pulled that out of the vg88? so clean. great job playing the solo.

  • good can someone tell the tabs?

  • AND I DONT NEED MORE DRUGS TO CALM ME, i just need a guitar and a sound like that

  • WE DON´T NEED MORE EDUCATION!

  • nice gtr dude...what is it???custom?

  • it looks like a gibson nighthawk

  • awesome

  • awesome

  • its the best cover i ever heard 5 stars

  • Amazing talent!

  • BEST COVER I''VE HEARD SO FAR!

  • What guitar is that?

  • Gibson Nighthawk

  • Hey man please tell me the amps and effects you're using...they're amazing

  • wooooow no mms esto si q es un cover

  • Hi,
