David Gilmour

Any effects on the guitar or is it only Tweed amp/guitar caper?

Anyone in the know zone? What is your take??

I would really like to know.

For me, it does'nt get any better than this...

There's a pedal on the floor in front of the amp but it's probably a Boss tuner.

I think that's straight in!

Even for small shows he usually uses his Cornish pedal board and there's no sign of it (you couldn't miss it) or anything else between him and the mic stand, so I reckon that's straight in.

Right tools for the job, and mastery of the instrument combined.

thanks Paulster!!

Not a bad Tele either. He never was a banger to I doubt he relic'ed that himself. He really is amazing to watch and listen to. Nice clip!

I like the sound of me guitars and Trainwrecks. It cuts through nice and clean, but i would like to fatten it up a little and get David's tone without extra noise. Is there one pedal that would get me there?

I'm all ears?

[Tubetwang]

i've just done a few hours with it in my music room, and, i think that i'll stay put with my single coils, Trainwrecks, little reverb and little compression...

I'm close enough...



If you don't have this "Tribute to the King" DVD, i urge you to get it...if you're into that kind of music, of course..

Paul Ansell, Alvin Lee, Ronnie Wood, David Gilmour and all the other musicians on the bill are just great.

Primo sound and performance!

It's actually a '55 Esquire that Seymour Duncan fitted a neck pickup to back when he still owned it (and presumably bashed around a lot) before he sold it to DG.

It's notable for having been used on Run Like Hell on The Wall album.

What I love about David Gilmour's playing is that he knows when not to play a note just as well as when to play one. And his vibrato technique isn't too shoddy either.

I'm going through the Live in Gdansk box set at the moment and that has some pretty special stuff in it, but this is still one of my favourites:

That sound just brings tears to my eyes

[Structo]

At 3:43 he goes into a distortion patch. That sounds pretty good.
I didn't really like the tone of that guitar at first, sounded like a piezo nylon string.

What guitar is he playing?

[skyboltone]

That's a Taylor something or other.

As long as we're doing free association time here. This one's for Casey. He hates pedals. I can listen to this all the time.....desert island, one book one album, one surfer girl...well maybe two.

Dan's right; it's a Taylor with a plain 3rd, as there's a step-and-a-half bend he has to get on it.

It isn't the best acoustic tone, but it sounds great through his electric rig for the solo.

There's a reason that's been consistently voted the greatest guitar solo of all time.

It's also a demonstration of how to the trem without sounding like you're making surf music or trying to sound like EVH (neither of which is a good thing in my book), and how to use pinched harmonics to actually add something to a piece (Zakk Wylde, take note).

I couldn't care less how many pedals he uses if he sounds like this!

[Tubetwang]

yup!

The man is in it's own special space.

Discipline, talent and lots of work to get there, i suppose...

Truly inspiring dude!
