"Shine On You Crazy Diamond" solo - David Gilmour, Royal Albert Hall

[STE4KIN125]

great solo !

[KritterMusicFuneral1]

These comments that speed is not proof to be equal or better or has no equivalent "emotion" "Feel" to it is plain ignorant. Think about what your saying and grow up. Sure some of those people just run scales fast and its average joe, but surely you can figure out that someone play lead regardless of the generalizes of it being fast can be just as soulful. Look up steffen Schackinger. He put in time and beauty in the carefully selected and times notes he hits. They are fast and slow and soulful.

[KritterMusicFuneral1]

@KritterMusicFuneral1 On top of what I'm saying this video shows time and emotion, but don't assume that someone else playing fast has any less. If your good you put in your "10,000 hours" If anyone even has any idea what that means and some people learned expression and love for what they play regardless of what is generalized in. Of course this man has more than and of course many others do as well, but god damn...I hope someone understands that anything you say is meaningless.

[KritterMusicFuneral1]

@KritterMusicFuneral1 Anyone can be soulful with speed or if its done right as well as going slow. Some people just suck at telling the difference and some people suck at actually playing fast and ruin for those who are good at it. I'm a slower player myself, but I keep an open mind. You should too.

[krustwell]

David Crosby looks on, approvingly.

[Mordred478]

Epic is the word for David Gilmour's guitar solos. (Too bad the kids use it to describe everything from a thirty second conversation to a belch.) ;-) Seriously, though, as a guitar player, Gilmour reminds me to focus on the essential.

[TheOne4UNow]

He's not of this world.

[tbagabeartrap69]

Im not even gay at all, but i'd fuck him.

[tbagabeartrap69]

this is so orgasmic, i switch it to porn when my mom walks in the room.

[GarrettGrrt]

The beauty of empty space...

[russ01539]

When I listen to this I get a tingly feeling in my testicles. lol

[MV520qrf]

I love how all the other performers are just watching him as if they're a part of the audience....When do you ever see something like that?

[shefow]

I will know you mr. gilmour!!! If God wants!! I BELIEVE!

[TheSantiayo]

If one day i can play one note as good and so ful of soul as David Gilmour, i will be totally happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

David Gilmour Forever!!

[simo90msn]

this song pierces the brain



[bsskates333]

david crosby at 3:04?

[aaaarrrgggghh]

This is 10 thousand times better than the acoustic concert

[23kcin]

anyone know what pedals he uses in the intro??

[aguscoria]

1 person isn't a diamond, ain't crazy and sure as fuck can't shine

[zeck40]

The Best!!!

[85rickee]

My absolutely favorite guitarist and doesn't get the respect he deserves

[destiny439207]

lay in bed with the lights out and listen to this. best ever.

[TheBabszem]

0 Dislikes.... Good to see that the people still knows what music is..

[YodaGaming]

Magical.

[dmemswiler]

They played this in 1977 in Philly, at the Spectrum. I was 17 and I was stunned ... the Animals tour. How incredible... Roger Waters walked off the state (rarely told story) because the Philly idiots were being idiots, as usual. (That's why I love em...but, hey, English guys have a thing about people screaming, I guess.) He came back and the concert was incredible (two nights I think)...

[Usia55]

Ripped my guts out many years ago, and still does! Wow!

[MatsEP]

Chills are going down my spine

[Mwtorres24]

I love how that chord rings on 0:22 <3

[gearslut69]

this is what fenders were made for...

[erom88]

there may be a lot of guitar players who can play faster and do sweep picking, tapping or whatever... but no one can play this way

[AlternateTunerDotCom]

This gets better and better as I get older, younger, sadder, happier, and understand less and more everyday.

[jacksonthrasher]

he definitely is the greatest bender of all time (no pun intended lol)

[mandm0835]

i've had thepleasure to see this cat live a handful of times and he is just a total badass. he's classy, like a statesman or something. nobody bends like david.

i play, and after seeing him i always have the feeling that i should just sell all my gear because it seems pointless since i'm so far below him. but i keep trying.

dude's a total stud. too bad him and roger can't stand each other.

[rikray1]

Man...there aren't too many other guitarist out there that play with more feel, touch and soul than David Gilmour!!

[fuckincrzy]

Gilmore is way better than roger waters.

[Mastodontamr696]

Young adults my age have a problem with expand their horizons on music. I grew up listening 2 Floyd,Zeppelin and ACDC. Then I migrated 2 the heavier stuff, but I never 4get how I got there.

[graham90123]

You know a song is good when you get shivers EVERYTIME from listening to it.

[glw1967]

OMG !!!!!!

[pgzzz]

He is at one with his guitar !

[SOMAN1983V]

The best guitarist !!!!!!!!!!

[NYGSD]

There is somthing about this great mans playing. He doesnt show off. He is there to feed you musical notes picked right out of the air. 100% perfect notes. Perfect. David Gilmour is the absolute best guitarist I have ever heard.

[chabon88]

Orgasmíco.

[Khoanz]

playing with the soul. Love it !!

[jarcho123]

i like david gilmour and all, but c'mon! if you want to hear something unique, listen to django. the pentatonic scale is something every mediocre bluseman learns in infancy, and gilmour was never able to wean himself off it

[GuitarzLover]

@jarcho123 It's not because pentatonic scale is easy to learn that it is easy to play. This guy is a freaking master, who cares if he is using pentatonic. I mean, just listen to the freaking sound man.

[kangal123hakan]

The quality of this song takes so much emotion to write, I don't think there will be any other guitar solo ANYWHERE NEAR the aspects of this song within now and a billion years.

[AlternateTunerDotCom]

I love how David Gilmour always seems like he's playing at about 90%, and that he's got a secret stash in his back pocket that he saves for later. He almost looks like he should be sipping a cup of tea and reading the paper between notes.

[duey101]

@AlternateTunerDotCom Perfectly said...

[scotty688]

You could learn this solo, but to play it like Gilmour is a whole new story.

[inisch]

he is a genius

[laikynsdad]

remember when you were young....

[DanyGilmour]

This is pure feeling. All of you lovers of hypertecnical shit trying to cover the soul of this great man, The Lord of the Strings; you who say that they are better than him... you just make me laugh lol

[92Dreak92]

It's because of him that i started to play guitar

I tried playing his music, but it's simply impossible; only he can put so much passion in those songs

[gitardoofus]

Untouchable; no one even comes close to saying what David says with such economy of notes and depth of feeling. His bends and articulation are a master class on blues-based rock lead guitar - it should be mandatory instruction for every aspiring guitar player. Thanks for setting the bar so high, David!

[gsquizzared]

someone like yngwie is really good at what he does, but he could never play like this

[Rozq87]

untouchable as always

[kdouglas24]

out of all the guitarists out there, i feel the most emotion from david gilmour's solos. it doesn't matter how fast you play, it matters how much feeling you put into it. just my opinion.

[robslater90]

@kdouglas24 same here. fast solos can be good but its all about the feeling.

[itsonlyrcknroll]

@kdouglas24 Feeling is the key. Perhaps one of the others that would compare would be Mark Knopfler and Dire Straits. The live performances are flowing with feeling and emotion.

[420micro420]

finally a soulfelt solo, this is how you play kids, it is the surest proof that faster is not equal to better

[vileguile]

He's using EMGs pickups in this guitar. On their website there's a part called EMGTV where there's an little interview about the guitar .. that's how i got to see this ;)

[lisergitek24]

every time I hear it is an orgasm

[floyd369]

why is the best part cut out? great song thought

[pinkfloydman123]

love this guy so much pure genious

[alpisurf]

after beatles, Pink Floyd was the best!!

[Yamboozle]

@alpisurf In my opinion Pink Floyd are even better then The Beatles.

[alpisurf]

It`s my opinion! I respect yours! Pink Floyd is so good as beatles, but beatles opened the doors to floyd.

[00CHARLESDARWIN2]

@Yamboozle

In my Opinion King Crimson are even better than Pink Floyd...

[ProGamerNco]

@Yamboozle im my opinion pink floyd are god

[sbandat90]

@alpisurf fuck you and beatles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[oveman]

AMEN!

[alpisurf]

@sbandat90 You are the biggest idiot here! Respect my opinion! your mind must be so empty that you have no brain to discuss anything! you need to say your ideas have offended others. Have brains, man!

[sbandat90]

@alpisurf if that was only your opinion,you could say "i think that beatles are most talented of pink floyd".....you re an idiot.fuck

[sbandat90]

@alpisurf no...i waste time with you.bye

[logo10heli]

Excellent guitar, as usual. Towards the end, around 3:00 there's David Crosby on stage.

[mitulrmehta]

yay ... I have the same strat and pickup ... but cannot play like him :( ... i am at very early stage of learning ....

[darthvalek]

That's a custom shop strat (4000$). You don't have that.

[mitulrmehta]

I dont have that strat ... I have similar strat :) ...

[SmittyBaGitty]

@darthvalek

hahaha! most wont!

[keithmurraymusic]

Awesome performance from the great Mr. Gilmour!

The pickup system is EMG, they have a pre-wired pick guard system available on their site. It's called DG20, retails for around 299 american!

[ilcongia]

non ce n'è....it's so difficult to play in such this way...with this splendid time!!!

[plotchickens]

i have flagged this, the uploader is dishonest

this is not david gilmour

[sbandat90]

@plotchickens fuck you

[ericclapton00]

What are those Pickups?

[JRBain7]

Either EMG SAs or his signature (now discontinued) version, the DG-20.

[arnaud360]

EMGs because there is too much electric things near him

[quality43]

bellissimo!! grande david gilmour!!!forever pink floyd...

[william1theguitarwah]

what pedal is he using?

[sbandat90]

@william1theguitarwah cs-2,ce-2,mxr delay,tube driver with hig volume and the tone of gain is almost closed

[Jinkzy123]

i dont know why people call him "god"... he's good but his solos are dragging...

[william1theguitarwah]

wtf man, his solos are like the best, just cos you might be into idiots playing 1000 notes a second, get with it fool pull ya head in

[failedState911]

@william1theguitarwah true his one note can speak 1000 emotions which even 1000 notes of shredders malmstein, joe, or any metal detath..whatever players can't do

[adil2552]

@failedState911

I have to agree, however Joe Satriani is very capable of playing emotive solos.

[FermerMetal]

@william1theguitarwah you are correct sir. you cant be an amazing player unless you play slow

[jacksonthrasher]

@FermerMetal not really dude, i mean you can play fast and still have the groove if the piece is lively and energetic

[Chompobar]

@william1theguitarwah

I promise anyone that this solo is equally hard as a Metallica or Dream Theater solo. Trying to play it with as much soul as Gilmour is next to impossible. Just because a solo has only a handful of notes doesn't mean it's not hard to play... David Gilmour stands as a testament to that.

[smelliot95]

@Jinkzy123 If by dragging you mean getting behind the beat, then thats just his jazz influence. That's what sets him apart from most generic rock guitarists. If you listen to most jazz they'll pull the tune around a fair bit. Otherwise it sounds a bit too mechanical or unmusical without a bit of anticipation

[joasoo]

I listen this song when im going to sleep. Because it brings me peace and happiness to me.

[elgrande1987]

@joasoo OMG YOU ARE SO RIGHT I REMEMBER I USED TO SMOKE A JOINT USED TO AND THEN PUT THIS SONG OR US AND THEM OR THE GREAT GIG ON THE SKY AND MAN I WOULD JUST TRIP IN MY SLEEP PINK FLOYD IS THE ONLY BAND THAT FABRICATED LULLABIES

[lauretgadolet]

The words cannot explain what I feel by listening to him...

[rankthis]

geif ozrick tentacles with dave as guest guitar - imagine that - mind blowing - i'm drooling just thinking about it

[hogwarts09]

david gilmour the god and keeper of the fender stratcoster long live david gilmour king of all guitar gods

[3dpaper]

i sexed your mom

[hogwarts09]

what the fuck dirty git

[rankthis]

love how dave crosby is lurking behind with a big smile on his face :) total respect

[QatBah]

I have no words......just thanks David! Thank you for the beautiful emotions you have given me for many years.

[hbugw]

when you can actually feel the music, you know a great guitarist is behind it.... David Gilmour.

[Ghostorchid2]

Excellence!!!!

[23flowergirl]

Gilmour is god.

[redwhitch17]

only one word to say..Beautifull...:)

[cjagsmith]

I love how he encorperates chords into his solo. AWSOME

[KarmicOmen]
