"This Heaven" solo - David Gilmour, AOL Sessions

[shefow]

my idol, absolutaly

[gumiflex]

Definitely a different David Gilmour, but nice to hear him play Les Paul. Sounds more bluesy for sure.

[echosyst]

Les Paul, P90's and a Bigsby too? Different for Dave.

[NtyrObliviOn]

@echosyst actually this is the very guitar he used to record the solo for "Another Brick In The Wall". A Goldtop Gibson Les Paul with P-90s and a Bigsby tremolo.

[akashefi]

The best

[francohhhhhhh7]

Beautifil Les Paul! *_*

[BlackMaidenTallica]

if nobody remembers, pink floyd was actually originally blues. and thats what david signed up for...a blues band. but then they experimented and went to psych/prog rock. they brought back a lot of blues material post-barrett and post-waters....

[dgmisal1979]

What a player - though I prefer his less-dense soloing usually, this is really well done for a little heartier approach.

[compulsivebender]

David Gilmour is basically a blues player , don't forget it ;) great solo , a lot of feeling .

[johnbeloe]

best i've heard him play

[2599snake]

00:41  00:43 :o dave !!!

[GibsonFTW95]

How can someone even dislike this? did he not play good enough?

[motokev]

Dave, would you please release another album ?

[fetzcou]

3 dislikers are Lady Gaga fans on pills got here mistakenly

[razzamanaz79]

I love David Gilmour, he's the best, but his playing here is not so good, he's overplaying it a bit

[bsskates333]

gilmour on a les paul..strange sight haha

[Smashinz2002]

Actually, Dave plays not only great bluesy stuff, but also he's gotten into more classical style work as well. Check out some of his classically-styled renditions of Pink Floyd songs, it's good stuff. He also still does his tradition psychedelic stuff too; check out his modern versions of Echoes, for example.

[jimmcmil1967]

btw, most of the wall was recorded on a Les Paul

[tomiclav]

@jimmcmil1967 what? really? i thought that only the brick part2 solo was recorded on the les paul.......

[jimmcmil1967]

wtf you mean awefull? the timing was perfect and the tone was perfect, your a tard

[STORYTASTIC]

just awful on a les paul...needs his strat..he doesnt know how to adapt...too bad

[TheBeatlefloyd]

is he playing a goldtop gibson les paul?

sweet i have one pretty similar to it

[luizhenriquestan]

If you close your eyes, till 2:00 don't even seems to be david gilmour playing. At least not the way I'm used to see him playing.

Pretty, pretty cool.

[freboso]

Dave's always been bluesy.

[helpdonate1]

He played one on The Wall with a fixed bridge.

[Mustang1204]

David Gilmour on a Les Paul, that's awesome.

[61floyd61]

This is like sex to my ears!! Awesome, David Gilmour<3<3 I LOVE YOU!!!!

[5tonyvvvv]

yep u know that screaming guitar is gilmour...amazing

[armanpour335]

dave and les paul!wow its awesome.

[blsnewreligion]

is it just me or has David gotten a more bluesy feel over the last years ?

sweet : D

[bigb934]

he's always had it!;)

[pattygilmour]

he's been bluesy since I was a kid I remember him coming over in the early 90's and playing dads martin d28 and from what I remembered it was a great 12 bar blues I wish I saw a lot more of him :( but he's always busy

[gilmourish]

oh uau tell me more about that story!

[ThatMysteryNoise]

@blsnewreligion It comes standard with the Les Paul ;)

[Rizagobelez]

@blsnewreligion Since he is getting old his soul is getting old too, so that makes him go more on blues i believe :D

[hylkeenteroittaja]

Gilmour used the same Les Paul on the solo of Another Brick in the Wall pt. 2

[Joyster2212]

its actually not that exact guitar. Gilmour has got two goldtops; one with a bigsby tremolo, and one with the original bridge :)

[Obelisk2290]

and it was recorded direct, later on they amplified it to get the "amp" sound on the record

[Alewho92]

Great! Thanks for all these videos.

[beryil]

It's the first time I see Gilmour playing a Les Paul.

[MrPinkFloyd882]

Yeah it doesn't happen often, he said once that he didn't really prefer the feel of them.
