Apart from a Jimi Hendrix or an Eric Clapton solo…I think Gilmour’s solo in this song is the greatest rock guitar solo of all time. It’s bad ass af without being over-the-top; it’s so refined and smooth and perfectly executed without being pretentious. It’s a perfect solo. It’s beautiful 💯

The thing I got from this was how much note selection changed the way you sounded... when you played like him, you sounded like him but when you started playing in your style you sounded nothing like him even with his tone. I think it’s much more in that than in what gear and settings you use, that’s just there to bring it out more.

Yep, agreed - I think Gilmour playing a Gretch Country Gentleman through a Marshall stack, would still sound more like Dave Gilmour, than someone else borrowing Dave's guitar and having a go in Dave's recording studio through Dave's effects/mixer. As soon as the opening few bars were over, it just sounded like Chris Buck. It didn't even sound like Chris Buck trying to sound like Gilmour. Still, they both sound good, but not at all like each other.

Insanely good video mate. Thank you 🙏🏻

You nailed it. Great job!

Thank you Chris.... a really great exposition of the background to the sound of the solo. Also your mastery of Logic is exemplary. I will now have a place to go to try to sound a little like Mr DG...once I have mastered the notes !! :-0

Great stuff Chris! before I clicked, I thought I could give you a little grief for releasing a Gilmour video today after your earlier announcement today, Then I saw you playing your p90 revstar and was stoked. That's my favorite revstar and I didn't know you played one until you replied to my IG comment earlier this week saying its your most used revstar, Then I watched the video and learned tons of new stuff.... You, my friend, are firing on all cylinders.

Love this! I love it when it turns out that players whove become famous for one particular type of guitar,. from one particular brand ,.have used other brands on some of their iconic pieces of music. I think gear (although a lot of fun to discuss and debate,.) can sometimes overshadow hard work creativity. I love that Jimmy Page recorded most of Led Zeppelin 1 on his Telecaster despite being known for playing a les Paul, and that Gilmore recorded this solo despite being know as a "strat guy".

Sounds awesome well dialed.....I've just replicated it myself using the DBX160 and 2 x 1176 compressor plugins although I also added a very short slap delay which helped thicken the verb trails going to grab another comp pedal and see if this can be done live .

Chris Thank you very much for demo. super

Tomorrow, I'm going to order a Revstar! :D

Really cool vid. I just got a POD Go (basically helix but lower dsp) and what I’ve done is used the Cali IV amplifier which I believe is a MK IV Mesa. I’m using the same Yamaha Revstar 502 in bullet green I think. I’ve put the bass at 7, treble and mids at 6. I bumped the sag, hum, and bias to 7 to give it more of a real tube amp feel. I’ve added an LA studio compressor at the end of the signal chain and and LA studio compressor just before that in the limiter setting. I’ve used the standard Cali cabinet, with an 84 condenser mic at 1 inch. It sounds pretty good so far. I’ve not added the spring reverb yet but I will. I’ve noticed that I’m definitely getting that pop and a tone that isn’t far from the original recording. I’ve been listening to the original track over and over again, and while some parts the tone is spot on, I think in others, especially the 2 1/2 step bend there isn’t enough sustain to carry that note if you play it as gilmour originally did only picking once. I’ve also noticed at the end of the solo during the last couple bars that it sounds like it is much more heavily distorted. I don’t know if that’s because he had his gain set higher and was dynamically picking, or he had his volume rolled throughout most of the solo. I suspect it’s the latter, as the raked picking and sharp picked notes on the high e string in the midsection suggest he was picking fairly aggressively. I’ve painstakingly gone through this solo, as it’s one of those that I’ve always thought I’d played close to the original, but there’s always more to learn. When I feel that it’s at least 95% I’ll post a video of the cover. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. Appreciate you cutting out some of the leg work for me.

Thankyou.

Nice one, fella

People who research David Gilmour's tone invariably end up on gilmourish. That site is a treasure. I like to believe that even David himself sometimes visits the site, when he's trying to remember what gear he used way back when.

Thanks man! I would not have come up with the idea putting a limiter BEFORE the compressor chain! But it really nails the tone quite well.

And all this time I though that solo was cut on a Strats neck pickup. But my ears are shot.

@@GordonZoot it is easier to bend a note 2 and 1/2 tones, release the bend and raise the note back up one tone with one pick stroke..... and sustain & vibrato the notes using a Gibson Les Paul.

I have a Fat 50s in the neck of my strat and I can get the tone pretty close as well. Either way Gilmour tones are just fantastic.

And now we know Lee Ritenour played the last 4 bars on the solo.

I love the analysis.I would say what your hearing in the desk doesn't account for "Roomverb..Ingvie Malmsteen put lagre stacks in a small room to make it 'breathe'..And played outside the room with the door open..With (of all people) BobEzrin..That tone is just awesome for jazzy licks in a rock format..Well done ....The future of music is as bright as your good self....Kudos ..I subbed.

Lord With That Tone! I'de Be Jamming By Calendar Date's! 📆🎸🔊🎼

Fun fact, Dave also used a custom double cutaway dual humbucker (Les Paul clone) on the solo for Money as legend has it, his Strats only had 21 frets at the time.

The important point is that it is a Les Paul with the P90 pick ups, not the humbucking typical Les Paul sound but the P90s - these are single coil and hence the confusion with the Strat single coils. But a Les Paul with single coils is a bit like a fuller Strat sound due to the better sustain from these guitars.

I had a Yamaha Revstar 520 with P90’s and it was £525 I think and it was my favourite sounding rock/blues guitar. I sold it when I was broke if anyone is curious.

Nice.

Great video and... a big hard drive in your computer... more than one hour mainly of nothing to play few licks. Thanks Chris !!!

Nice. I wonder what those same settings would sound through a strat they are single coils after all.

Hi Cris, P90's are great but they hum (single coil) ,how did you get rid if the 60/50 cycle hum noise in this video?? Thanks in advance!

Reporting in from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Whats the story behind the revstar? Was it like an impulse buy, or were you looking specifically for a p90 equipped guitar? did you pit it against others? Sorry for all the questions man, but I m on the search for my first guitar with soapbars, and I ve been eyeing this yamaha for a while

Very nice video. Could you do this with the Helix as well ? How? Thank you

You can still manage it with a Strat, especially with neck neck/mid pickups, and a Electro Harmonix Ram's head big muff. I do pretty well tone wise with my Strat Plus lace sensors. Again, the Ram's head big muff helps a lot too. I've only been noodling with it and might get a bit more serious with it soon. Such a cool solo and deserves to be done proper. Gonna give it a go with my Jazzmaster/P 90s when I get it back from the shop.

How do you get the amazing sound of comfortably numb amazing solos?

As I understood it the sound was an early example of re-amping as well. In other words the solo was already laid down on tape. It was recorded through a D.I. box on if whose functions is to impedance match the high output impedance of a guitar pick up to the low impedance inputs of a mic preamp. After recording, Gilmour thought the tone sounded too thin and the solo was subsequently played back from the tape through the console and out to the guitar amp rig in the studio. I'd therefore say that another element you haven't taken into account is the warmth of tape, its bass bump, as well as the effect of tape compression. Also what we don't really know is there was probably a blend of several tracks in the mix DI, reverb and re-amp to achieve a difficult to analyze and replicate blend. Gilmour discusses what I relate here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/e6J7mLR6ipOxh9Y.html

Great video, very informative! One thing though, look ahead on your compressor doesn't do anything while monitoring, only during playback

It's nice to see, that Chris have also dust on his guitars xD But my question: Is it possible to reach the tone with the tone knobs on the guitar?

So I have one technical question, What gauge Strings are you using?

Damn I had no idea that it was recorded on a Les Paul. The more you know

From an audio engineering point of view, it’s very likely they actually used a 1176LN and a LA2A (or maybe LA3A) before the amp. If you want to try to reproduce it with an analog path only, you can always try with some pedals that emulate those compressor such the Cali76 and Effectrode PC-2A.

@santibanks

Жыл бұрын

If I understand things correctly, then the notion that David was recorded "direct" as many sources claim is not really the case in the sense audio engineers would use this terminology. He just used two pieces of studio outboard instead of pedals to run straight into a Mesa amp with maybe the guitar going via the desk into those compressors but basically as an expensive patchbay. But the end result is still hearing just the sound of the Mesa with super fancy processing in front of it.

When Gilmore wrote this, what ever he was hearing in his head he really nailed it! Just like some his other works!

Wow I always thought that this solo was recorded with that white strat Gilmour has,I heard the odd rumour it was a Les Paul but this is great stuff to learn about,hearing that brick in the wall album on cd for the first time was me hooked on electric guitar for life,thats a very hard sound to emulate.
