Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb Guitar Solo - Fender Stratocaster vs. Gibson Les Paul

Музыка

The Pink Floyd Comfortably Numb guitar solo was performed David Gilmour on the famous Black Strat, using his DiMarzio FS-1 bridge pickup, through a Big Muff, and split into a Hiwatt DR103 and a Yamaha RA-200 rotating speaker. This guitar tone can be achieved with overdrive, chorus, 300ms delay, and boosted mids. Enjoy this shootout between the Stratocaster and the Les Paul, and comment which one sounds better!
Each guitar was played through the same rig with identical settings.

    Thanks Jonny. Looking back on this video, I agree the Les Paul won, but I think I set the mids too high on the amp for both guitars. The sound isn't as "big" as I would have liked - but then again, no one can sound as good as Dave

    Les Paul's will typically have the advantage when they're played with blues based solos, because of their fatter, rounder and warmer tone because of the humbuckers. The strat has a higher treble range because of their single coil pickups. I would go with the Les Paul, but it could do with a bit more midrange to balance it out.

  • @sirtalis69
    @sirtalis692 жыл бұрын

    At first, it was really hard to tell because they both sound so good! But after giving it a 2nd and 3rd listen, my vote goes to the Gibson. It's almost imperceptible, but if you listen very closely, the Gibson has a slightly deeper richer sound. Either way... great playing man! 👍

    I think the Strat sounded more original, but the Gibson had a more robust sound to it. Just my opinion. I have that exact Les Paul Standard you were playing - color, pickups, and all. No Strat yet, but if I do, I'd get one close to what Gilmour uses live. You played both pretty well, and pretty close to the track.

    Listen to Doyle Bramhall II and Snowy White trade choruses on the outro of Comfortably Numb on Roger Waters "In the Flesh Live". The former plays Gilmours parts on Strat, and Snowy White improvises on Les Paul. I might even say Snowy's parts are as good as Gimour's. Blasphemy, I know. But listen, and tell me you're not blown away.
