Comfortably Numb

My first upload in 2-3 years. I'm back!

Here's the guitar solo from Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb (David Gilmour) with a little of my own feel to it.

I'm playing this on my new Fender Vintage Hot Rod (1957) Stratocaster which I bought while I was in the USA. The amp is a Marshall JCM 900 (100W) with a 4x12" Marshall 1960 Lead cab. My effects are the same as they've always been (plain and simple): Ibanez TS808 Tubescreamer, Boss TURBO OverDrive OD-2 & Original Crybaby Wah.

Tell me what you think :)

How do u like the dimarzio tone zone in the bridge position? is it good for rock/hardrock?

[bluesallaround]

Yeah I really like the dimarzio on the bridge. I would not replace it. I have been thinking of replacing the mid & neck pickups with texas specials though

Welcome back! That was spot-on perfect!

[bluesallaround]

thanks, good to see you're still around :)

@bluesallaround

How do u like this guitar, im doubting between the american standard customizing it with a dimarzio tonezone in the bridge , And the one you have. How is the thin finish? how many time does it take before it looks vintage because i rather have it look shiny like it is now. Maybe u can help me thanks in advance.

Yeah love the dimarzio on the bridge - see my comment above. Re guitar wearing: This model has a thin nitro finish so wears easily (rather than the polyurethane seen on the american standard strats). Part of the back has already worn away due to my belt buckles etc, but that is expected. The front is still okay, and it would take some beating to start the paint wearing. I have played the guitar a lot and none has worn away from my arm contacting on the guitar yet. But yeah, nitro all the way!

Good job and nice axe!!!! Check out my stab at the Time solo :-)

Than one more question haha how do u like the V shaped neck compared to a C or D shaped neck ? can u tell me anything about that.

I think this solo would be much more popular if you were to make a version without the MIDI background music. Try and find a real instrumental to play to.
