It didnt sound like anything was wrong with the sustain, strats dont have the best sustain for technical reasons. Thats why I love them. You have a fabulous tone though.
I love this song so much and you really did an excellent performance. If you are looking for more sustain try simply cranking your speakers up a bit , that may help. There are many ways to get more sustain.
Amazing song and well played. Mesmerizing music and hypnotic state of mind. Did not listen to this song before but I love the way it surfs thru the mind.
Really great job! As to your sustain issue, you might want to check out the specs for pick-up height and see if yours aren't a tad too high. The magnetic drag of the pick-ups can rob you of sustain by draining the kinetic energy off the string.
This is good! I'm a huge fan of Gilmour and not a very easy critic on most vids that I see. You did well, though, and I'm happy to see more Gilmour-enthusiasts such as myself!
I don't hear a problem with the sustain...sounds great to me! You play with feeling and very close attention to pitch...all the characteristics of Gilmour's playing that many miss...
For better sustain use a compressor/sustainer like the Boss CS-2 Gilmour uses (not the CS-3 which sounds like crap)... it removes a bit of the "quack" and attack of the Strat but really helps.... Did the Callaham block improved your Strat ? I'm still wondering to install one on mine.
@F3FisGoodforYou Well, I bought this Strat used and it was already installed, and this is really the only guitar I've spent a good deal of time on. I've heard nothing but good things about Callaham though.
@GilmourTrueHD Adding the two springs will eventually break the tremolo bar off at the first thread of the stock issue block if you use it for big dives a lot. So keep that in mind if you add springs.
@GilmourTrueHD Thanks :) This guitar has a Callaham assembly in it, but I've had some neck problems with the guitar...I had someone do a truss rod adjustment and general setup that unfortunately didn't seem to help much with the sustain problem.
@mitchellcmb I wonder if running through the comp with guitar rig has something to do with it, have you tried the guitar through a good tube amp turned up a bit to see if the sustain is there? Interaction between the amp, speakers and guitar is so different than through the comp. I notice that David's fingers are always putting in vibrato even on huge bends, they are always moving.
@GilmourTrueHD All that said, look at your neck relief to see if the truss rod adjustment was incorrect or shifted. The neck will continue to move for 24 hours after the adjustment and maybe you lost the neck relief?
Check out this Luthier, he's great and shows how to check and correctly adjust the truss rod. Easy to check.
yeah! great play...
that old looking strat sounds nice in your custody.
can you tell me that backingtrack?
Take care.

If you are really looking for more sustain, a better tremolo block will help tons.
Callahan or DeTemple custom blocks are supposed to be good improvements on an American Standard Strat for sustain and tone control.

If you haven't already add the two extra springs on the tremolo in the back of the guitar. More mass gives more sustain. However, excellent job!
