FYI dudes, for all those asking why we didn't use the exact gilmour custom shop. well the one we chose is all in all the exact same guitar. just aged looking
@ parallax3d - do a little more research before typing please. Nobody wants to hear your misinformation. ua-cam.com/video/MScJB8IxeJM/v-deo.html - here is a review. Check 9:00 mins in the video for the information you are lacking
That is a great idea. And, I'm sure you guys have heard this before, but I would love to hear how to sound like The Edge without busting the bank. Or OK Computer era Radiohead.
you guys should do a sound like a genre/subgenre. So like, sounds like thrash metal and then you have to get a versatile enough rig that you can do megadeth, Metallica, slayer etc tones with one rig, that'd be pretty dope
Agree. Watch the break the bank Jimi Hendrix, the last 90 seconds or so is outtakes and he makes a few mistakes and they stop and laugh about it, makes him seem mortal because he’s anything but! He’s a total guitar god!
I'd never hear of him until I was looking at Neural DSP plugins a few weeks ago and this is the first time I seen him. He didn't get the correct phrasing on "Shine on You Crazy Diamond" btw
@@JohnShalamskas depends on the guitar... he used many with a variety of pickups, from emg actives, to fender lace sensors, stock fender pickups from various years, as well as Duncans. Most had a common bond, and THAT core element is the part of the " gilmour sound" they are trying to help nail down. He gets his core tone with all of those variations.
I was privilege this year to hear David Gilmour live in Toronto, to hear him play live is an experience, I seen some serious players over the years, some that can play blinding fast , but David Gilmour is tone, the guitar is more then instrument, you just need to hear Gilmour play live once and you will understand, but well done on this Rabea, what I would love to see you lads try is Brian May,
Please do: 1: Eddie Van Halen 2: Randy Rhoads 3: Zakk Wylde 4: Jimi Hendrix 5: Def Leppard 6: Alice in Chains If anyone thinks I'm forgetting anyone in the list feel free to comment!
Jonah Husak I believe it was an ssl-1 made with extra windings specifically for him, which later became it's own production model, the ssl-5. I think I read this on Seymour Duncan's website but I could be wrong.
@@lukebreunig Gilmour had a DiMarzio in the bridge during the recording of The Wall. He replaced it with the Seymour Duncan SSL1c prior to the Wall tour
That's what irritates me in these videos. They should make one called "Sound like David Gilmour by doing a tiny bit of research and discovering what he actually used." If you search Google, the gear he used for the solo is revealed in every one of the 27 million results. I know, I checked all 27 million. Surely they have some gold tops with P90s lying around at Anderton's.
Maestro Lifeson is the "man of 10,000 tones". Also, consider that much of the tones we remember of his, are in fact several guitar tracks added together. Listen to the lead in Limelight. That's several guitars via different paths, in unison. It's an impossible tone to replicate. Men like Lifeson, Gilmour, Johnson, etc. have a great deal of experience in recording and live engineering. They're "renaissance men" skilled (though not formally) in both the arts and sciences. You could do a doctoral dissertation on any one of them.
Helium Road I agree. I would argue, however, that it is not a matter of equipment but is a matter of his approach. For all the money in the world, one cannot replicate the mind or the hands...
GDK Opinionator Rabea can do a pretty good Gilmour; I'm sure he could play in a Rush tribute band if he needs to. Equipment only gets you so far with any of these guitarists, even the "easy" ones.
Yeah I know right.. Didn't Rabea once famously say "this a sound alike not a look alike".. Therefore he should be using the signature Dave Gilmore Strat..
ok so, it's down to the electronics more than anything: both guitars would probably be the exact same wiring, pickups, selectors, et cetera. the only difference would just be pricing and aesthetics, so when it's a choice between two guitars which are the exact same feel, exact same wood-types, exact same electronics... then why not make the aesthetic choice? though, personally, i'd rather see a comparison between the two guitars, to see if what i just said actually holds up. given circumstances, it is unlikely that'd ever happen
Great playing Rabea and Matt, when I was young, Dave was called "God's guitarist", yes he was bloody good, but as I get older, his leads sound even better, awesome, within the realms of being my some of my greatest rock memories. You guys did a great job, cheers.
@@HeliBenj broadly agree with that (perhaps not 20 years!) I get a very similar DG tone with a Squier CV Strat, Burgera G5 amp, and a smattering of moderately priced pedals. Practice is the key, get your bends/pre bends down, your picking dynamics and your timing.
@@cardbored_ sure. Buy what you can, cheap or expensive or in between and be done with it. It's easy to get lost in the gear and tone, been there done that
You know what that is going to be. Cranked Marshall (probably the ever present DSL40), a strat, a vox wah, octave pedal and a Fuzz Face. There was also a Leslie sim pedal Hendrix used but it was pretty late in his career.
He has the most changeable tone in the world. I like his sounds from The Brown Album (which I think was running 3 amps simultaneously, with a PRS), but just compare that to Pork Soda, or Sailing the Seas of Cheese and realise that it's likely a totally different setup... I want one of those advances record companies give bands to get better gear.
This series is by far my favourite thing on UA-cam. Fun and feeling like I’m learning about the different hardware in context as opposed to super indepth, deep dives into individual components. Love it, you guys rock
To your ears it did. To mine you are talking crap, but thats how it goes. They are probably not going to reshoot this video anytime soon since they didn't even reshoot the John Frusciante video, which was terrible.
@@toledo2983the recorded version had tons on post processing to get it on the track. This removes almost any specific tonal needs from a guitar. That pedal show gets it almost perfect on a telecaster. And I’ve seen it done very close with a normal Les Paul with humbuckers.
Would love to see you guys redo all the past "Sound Like" videos but "By Busting The Bank" this time. So excited to see what kind of dream setups you guys come up with. Love the vids by the way.
OMG , the Laquer of the Dave Gilmout Strat is Incredible Cool !! Yes you guys are Right ! it has a Absolut Stunning Vibe ... Wow ...really one of the Coolest Strats ...especially the used one ...
I would have used the amps reverb and got a dawner prince boonar for that old binson echorec sound as it is essential for the DG sound. I'd go for more of the late 60s 70s sound which is a Dunlop germanium fuzz face the boonar and a vox wah. Essentially that's all you need.
Never too late to learn...I saw a news article recently about a guy who gives guitar lessons to residents in old peoples' homes. Start low - get a Squier Strat and a budget modelling amp for a few hundred pounds and you can still make some good sounds.
Please, do the "Sound like Mark Knopfler BY busting the bank"...!!! That two sounds: in Brothers in arms and Speedway At Nazareth And the other one like Sultans of swing and Lady Writer
Electric Mistress Flanger - a must for some of his rhythm sounds, plus a Chandler Tube Driver Tube Overdrive Pedal that he uses a lot, + BOTH guitars to A/B them!
My Gilmour strat is a Squier 2012 Vintage Modified '70s Stratocaster - Black w/ Maple Fretboard. I added the Gilmour switch and left the Duncan SC-101 pickups which they sound close enough for my ears. You just need to adjust your sound between pedals and tone controls on your guitar. The cost of guitar , switch hardware, and GHS Gilmore strings came to $265 US dollars.
I just rediscovered Pink Floyd, been listening to vids on UA-cam the last couple days. David Gilmour is my new favorite guitarist. His lines are so cool. Simplicity transformed into absolute excellence for lack of a better word. Great stuff!
On the album he used a Les Paul for most of it, and for Another Brick the guitar solo was a Les Paul plugged directly into the desk - then after recording they ran the signal through a small tube amp to break the tone up a bit.
Kotz Magic emgs. I know that he's used lace sensors in some guitar somewhere, but not in the red strat i dont think. Emg offers a gilmour pickguard kit with active electronics.
he mean't BY busting the bank, not without :P If you want to sound like Philip Sayce by busting the bank you should just check out the gear he's using. And remember that if you give that guy a mexican strat, a blues junior and something like a tubescreamer, he'll still sound amazing. Sound and tone has alot to do with your fingers :P
OMG!! The first four notes just carried me back!😍 That is sooo good. The tone is perfect, and Rabea's licks are impeccable. Sounds like it's direct from the album. Well done you guys... thoroughly enjoyed this!! 🤘😎🤘
Hi guys, i would like to see a 'how to sound like'; John mayall and the bluesbreakers(clapton era) Peter Green Mike Bloomfield johnny Winter Paul Kossoff Mick Taylor (stones era) Maybe one of those please!! Anyway, thanks guys!
As a serious musician, with a scrutinising ear, the thing that strikes me most about this video is how you were able to keep saying "big muff" without wetting yourselves with laughter. Oh, and the great gear and playing. I really enjoyed this.
I love how Rabea and Matt got so close, and how others like Gilmourish get really close, but when it is all said and done what is really beautiful about Mr. Gilmour and Pink Floyd is that, even when you have all the same gear, there is a magic about the tone and feel that absolutely makes the notes come alive - which we can't even touch. I always said that I would never pick a favourite for anything and that I would never limit myself musically, but Pink Floyd has solidified top spot for me and it will never change. Never!
That Stratocaster is too sick for words. I just built one with a Custom Shop body and American Original 50’s neck and it’s incredible. There’s something about the color scheme that is just right.
I thought the David Gilmour Strat had electronics setup unlike any other Strat, Plus he uses Seymour Duncan in the Bridge, not a Fender Pickup? Correct me if I'm wrong. DG is by far one of my top 5 fav tones of all time. Thanks for doing this video. Gilmour has also recorded on Scorpion Equipped Peavy Stereo Chorus 2x12 Combos which had Digital Delay built in, in the 80's. I'd also say DG's sound breaks up a little more and sooner in relation to the amp. It's not quite as clean as this is, but great attempt, it has spiritual qualities of the Gilmour tone and sound. \m/
L I T B O Y S I meant that they had a hard time finding gear for the muse video because of the price limits. So I think it would be cool if they made a another muse video without any limits, the tone would be sick, bro!
Can see why you would want to see that but I think it would be too much effort for them, they would probably go for the live rig using a kemper and an axe fx also they cant throw down the ££s on a manson as I doubt they would have one in their shop. I think we just need to be happy with the without busting the bank version :)
Great video I enjoyed watching this. Gilmour is so unique there isn’t a guitarist in the world that sound exactly like gilmour. I’ve seen so many tribute bands which sound very close but when you see the man live there is just something different there. When he played sorrow live the hairs just stood up on the back of my neck what a legend he is
They probably want to do that video, but can't. They couldn't play any songs that Fripp plays, because he'll block the video. Fripp is a notorious blocker...
Just as a point, david gilmour used his black strat on most of Dark Side Of The Moon & Wish you were Here, but played many, many, many diffent guitars throughout Animals & The Wall. The Wall Part 2's solo was played on a Les Paul Custom.
Austin Dyer Live he used 3 DR103s. Actually 2 into a pair of WEM 200w cabs each and a 3rd as a backup. Post DSOTM he actually travelled with upwards of 10 DR103s and would plug in and soundcheck each individually and choose the ones he thought sounded best that night. One particularly cool story is that he was checking amps one day and said one head didn't sound right and no one else could hear the difference. So he had a roadie take it backstage to swap it out with a different one and the roadie brought the same one back. Gilmour plugged it in and immediately said "that's the same one, isn't it?" Another says that during a 1973 Dark Side show the sound man was shocked as he didn't have to run Gilmour's amps through the PA as they were loud enough with stage volume to fill the venue. For having such a pristine tone and flawless sound, he was notorious for playing at EXTREME volume. That's part of how achieved such amazing sustain.
Rabea certainly had a misspent youth, but the benefits of that education are abundant for all to see and hear. And I for one am glad of it. It’s also nice to see that you don’t feel the need for any silly antics and showmanship. None of the contorted faces that go predictably with certain chords. It appears that Rabea cares not a jot what others think, he is serving a higher master, namely his own need for perfection. You sir, are an artiste of the first water ! Well done. Australia
I feel like his use of the whammy bar is a really subtle, but really big part of his sound. Watch any live video of him now and he almost never lets go of the thing. Shine On really stuck out as missing it in this video. Great video otherwise
Pink Floyd live in the rain in Houston at Rice Stadium. From 4 rows up right side of the stage. Gilmour at his height, the band competing with the thunderstorm and the laser show with the lightning. No budget could get you there but that's the sound in my head. The radio capture is on on tube its a great listen
don't know what I enjoyed more... all the information and pointing guitar players in the right direction in terms of gear.... or your playing.... I think o could listen to you guys play pink Floyd for a loooolong time awesome stuff
Rabea have a wery Soulfull and a lot of emotions in his guitar playing .A great player ! Better than Chapman too i think, :-) because Rabea puts more ""emotions" in his playing.Great Stuff
I believe that in studio sessions David didn't used phaser pedals. In the 70's was very common use an amplifier called "Leslie rottary speaker" which cause this effect, the same amplifier was used in Rick's organ too. But, also i could be wrong. This video was an amazing job, you're insane!
94 Earls court, and the night after the concert I was at, there was a collapse of a stand in the room? But the experience of hearing DSOTM, live, and the Division bell, through the 2nd half was emense
Best in-house store video ever! I mean, it is ONLY about guitars :) but Rabea has obviously done his homework nailing the transcriptions, and it all comes off really well
You guys did an awesome job here. Regardless of the budget issue, I think the main contribution of these videos is to help us realize we can get very close to those tones we covet with a reasonably compact rig.
Gents, all I would say you need to make this rig any better (if you were going to) is an EHX Electric Mistress. It is an important one, although you guys got great tones from the gear you had. Great job!
David’s strat has a blend switch added, he can add the neck and bridge and all three pickups at once, this was great tone and fine playing. Rabea is a beast!!
Sounds like: Eagles Joe Satriani Steve Vai Alice in Chains Megadeth (if it hasn't been done) Pearl Jam Black Sabbath Sleep High on Fire Death Cannibal Corpse Obscura
It’s so interesting that everyone is always trying to get the Dark Side sound when they think Gilmour. When I was a kid my dad gave me a bunch of PF vinyls and the one that always stuck with me was actually Animals.
Best episode by far! You could say because its David Gilmour but you guys just nailed it. :) Watched this one probably 10 times now. Greetings from Germany!
really happy to see everyone liked this episode. MAN IF I HAD £6,000!!!!
That Morgan sounds spectacular! Great playing :)
You'd probably get 6k from all those kids buying your awesome signature lol
do a sound like randy rhoads or Eddie van Halen plz!!!
+Dino Vario YES
you have to do the guys from Karnivool at some point that would be awesome
FYI dudes, for all those asking why we didn't use the exact gilmour custom shop. well the one we chose is all in all the exact same guitar. just aged looking
and has a more pale neck and without davie g's signature, but whatever floats your boat...
Does the exact Gilmour custom model not have different control switching options compared to the guitar you used in the video?
yes it has a neck toggle switch so you can use the bridge and neck pickup together, its on my DG Custom
@ parallax3d - do a little more research before typing please. Nobody wants to hear your misinformation. ua-cam.com/video/MScJB8IxeJM/v-deo.html - here is a review. Check 9:00 mins in the video for the information you are lacking
I feel like you could have conveyed that information without being so harsh about it, but thanks for the correction!
When you guys do the By Busting the Bank, Rabea and Matt should split up and pick a rig separate. See at the end who did it better!
That would be interesting! =)
That is a great idea. And, I'm sure you guys have heard this before, but I would love to hear how to sound like The Edge without busting the bank. Or OK Computer era Radiohead.
YEAH
OOOOOOH, love this!
totally good idea!!
I think we can all agree, Rabea is a fucking beast on guitar
isnt he in coheed and cambria? ;)
@@ph0kused lolol both him and Claudio are insanely good
Best 4 notes in world.
Axioloqy Echoes' initial one beats them in my honest opinion. The Live at Pompeii version is just incredible.
Probably!
@@lucagrassi6886 you literally named my favorite song ever and best version
God damn right those four notes by themselves are a timeless masterpiece
Its called Syd's Theme.
you guys should do a sound like a genre/subgenre. So like, sounds like thrash metal and then you have to get a versatile enough rig that you can do megadeth, Metallica, slayer etc tones with one rig, that'd be pretty dope
i second that motion
Great suggestion
yiaaah
Great idea
+Matt Taylor different amp settings and different tunings, all can be done with the same guitar
Sound Like Rabea Massaad
GormyGorm gro an afro, tune down to drop c#, play loud rock or prog
They can just bring in his entire rig
They would never be able to pull that 1 off
Practice practice practice!
Or you could just listen to some Toska. ;-)
Anyone else realize they watch these videos mainly to see Rabea play like every guitar hero? He's incredible.
Agree. Watch the break the bank Jimi Hendrix, the last 90 seconds or so is outtakes and he makes a few mistakes and they stop and laugh about it, makes him seem mortal because he’s anything but! He’s a total guitar god!
Totally agree
I'd never hear of him until I was looking at Neural DSP plugins a few weeks ago and this is the first time I seen him. He didn't get the correct phrasing on "Shine on You Crazy Diamond" btw
i couldn't have been the only one screaming "just take both strats and compare them!!!"
Just bust the bank and grab as many as possible!!
Absolutely! Why didnt they listen to both!
My first thought too...
The bridge pickup should be a Seymour Duncan SSL-5, which is a bit hotter than a stock Fender bridge pickup.
@@JohnShalamskas depends on the guitar... he used many with a variety of pickups, from emg actives, to fender lace sensors, stock fender pickups from various years, as well as Duncans.

@@lukebreunig Gilmour had a DiMarzio in the bridge during the recording of The Wall. He replaced it with the Seymour Duncan SSL1c prior to the Wall tour

Triston Leavitt the solo.
He also plugged directly into the board instead of using an Amp.
At Roger's insistance.

the clean tones are spot on, but i've never heard anyone QUITE get that beautiful more aggressive tone he used on The Wall.
Gilmourish riis on youtube
lerch25 you'll never quite get the wall, that was post-production trickery as much as it was Gilmour's tonal mastery
On the album he used a Les Paul for most of it, and for Another Brick the guitar solo was a Les Paul plugged directly into the desk - then after recording they ran the signal through a small tube amp to break the tone up a bit.
He also had a red strat with emgs, which would definitely push his hiwatt a bit more.
Kotz Magic emgs. I know that he's used lace sensors in some guitar somewhere, but not in the red strat i dont think. Emg offers a gilmour pickguard kit with active electronics.
Sounds like Philip sayce by busting the bank!
Already done. Check the Sound like Playlist out.
he mean't BY busting the bank, not without :P
If you want to sound like Philip Sayce by busting the bank you should just check out the gear he's using.
And remember that if you give that guy a mexican strat, a blues junior and something like a tubescreamer, he'll still sound amazing. Sound and tone has alot to do with your fingers :P
Sorry, misread that one :)
Same with Gilmour, doesn't stop Rabea from doing a job
I think anyone would sound great with a Mexican Strat, a Blues Junior, and a Tube Screamer. I'd gig with that rig anytime!
OMG!! The first four notes just carried me back!😍 That is sooo good. The tone is perfect, and Rabea's licks are impeccable. Sounds like it's direct from the album. Well done you guys... thoroughly enjoyed this!! 🤘😎🤘
Yeah, at first I thought they were playing the original track as a reference. That tone was spot-on!
It bring me to tears this shop is not in my hometown. Not even in germany. I would by everything from it, no doubt.
I don't think you can say enough about Rabea's playing here. So soulful and effortless.
long time Pink Floyd listener, you guys did a great job. nice sound
Sound like Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead
Yeaaaaaaahhhh!!!!!
yes PLEASE!
I second this.
Ed O'Brien
yes!
Hi guys, i would like to see a 'how to sound like';
John mayall and the bluesbreakers(clapton era)
Peter Green
Mike Bloomfield
johnny Winter
Paul Kossoff
Mick Taylor (stones era)
Maybe one of those please!! Anyway, thanks guys!
As a serious musician, with a scrutinising ear, the thing that strikes me most about this video is how you were able to keep saying "big muff" without wetting yourselves with laughter. Oh, and the great gear and playing. I really enjoyed this.
Best show around, I'm binge watching this since last week, can't stop it!
I love how Rabea and Matt got so close, and how others like Gilmourish get really close, but when it is all said and done what is really beautiful about Mr. Gilmour and Pink Floyd is that, even when you have all the same gear, there is a magic about the tone and feel that absolutely makes the notes come alive - which we can't even touch. I always said that I would never pick a favourite for anything and that I would never limit myself musically, but Pink Floyd has solidified top spot for me and it will never change. Never!
One ingredient that you can’t buy though is an insane amount of talent.
That Stratocaster is too sick for words. I just built one with a Custom Shop body and American Original 50’s neck and it’s incredible. There’s something about the color scheme that is just right.
Fender twin!!! Clean tones American style!
Sound like John Frushantie with busting the bank
They have one.
+Jonathan Hay they do?
That would be awesome
This.
rhcp, best band in the world
I thought the David Gilmour Strat had electronics setup unlike any other Strat, Plus he uses Seymour Duncan in the Bridge, not a Fender Pickup? Correct me if I'm wrong. DG is by far one of my top 5 fav tones of all time. Thanks for doing this video. Gilmour has also recorded on Scorpion Equipped Peavy Stereo Chorus 2x12 Combos which had Digital Delay built in, in the 80's. I'd also say DG's sound breaks up a little more and sooner in relation to the amp. It's not quite as clean as this is, but great attempt, it has spiritual qualities of the Gilmour tone and sound. \m/
Sound like MUSE by busting the bank!
+sammy reynolds they did sounds like muse WITHOUT busting the bank, not BY busting the bank.
L I T B O Y S I meant that they had a hard time finding gear for the muse video because of the price limits. So I think it would be cool if they made a another muse video without any limits, the tone would be sick, bro!
+SIMON yes I see where you are coming from, that guy was just miss informed. he even deleted his comment lmao
Can see why you would want to see that but I think it would be too much effort for them, they would probably go for the live rig using a kemper and an axe fx also they cant throw down the ££s on a manson as I doubt they would have one in their shop. I think we just need to be happy with the without busting the bank version :)
Lame, they shouldn't do this
Great video I enjoyed watching this. Gilmour is so unique there isn’t a guitarist in the world that sound exactly like gilmour. I’ve seen so many tribute bands which sound very close but when you see the man live there is just something different there. When he played sorrow live the hairs just stood up on the back of my neck what a legend he is
I've always loved David Gilmour's black strat
DAM, that SHINE ON sounds sooooo GOOD
Do a sounds like Warren Haynes video!! In particular his live tone- it's incredible.
"Sound like Robert Fripp". Please!
Place every pedal in the store in front of a roland JC120, and don´t forget a Roland Synth in the front =)
And an eBow!
They probably want to do that video, but can't. They couldn't play any songs that Fripp plays, because he'll block the video. Fripp is a notorious blocker...
I think this is one of the most spot on sounds like videos!
Just as a point, david gilmour used his black strat on most of Dark Side Of The Moon & Wish you were Here, but played many, many, many diffent guitars throughout Animals & The Wall. The Wall Part 2's solo was played on a Les Paul Custom.
BITW Part 2. It wasn't an LP custom. It was a '55 LP Goldtop.
Make a sound like of Tony Iommi
Yes
my point exactly!
Gibson SG and an Orange amp. There you go
Defiantly!
+Mason Hoeper - Don't forget the treble booster!
sound like Johnny Marr of The Smiths!!
Gilmour's main amp was the Hiwatt DR103.
Austin Dyer Live he used 3 DR103s. Actually 2 into a pair of WEM 200w cabs each and a 3rd as a backup.
Post DSOTM he actually travelled with upwards of 10 DR103s and would plug in and soundcheck each individually and choose the ones he thought sounded best that night.
One particularly cool story is that he was checking amps one day and said one head didn't sound right and no one else could hear the difference. So he had a roadie take it backstage to swap it out with a different one and the roadie brought the same one back. Gilmour plugged it in and immediately said "that's the same one, isn't it?"
Another says that during a 1973 Dark Side show the sound man was shocked as he didn't have to run Gilmour's amps through the PA as they were loud enough with stage volume to fill the venue.
For having such a pristine tone and flawless sound, he was notorious for playing at EXTREME volume. That's part of how achieved such amazing sustain.
Man, that bend on Shine on You Crazy Diamond! 8:25. It's the most guitar-face inducing note ever. Excellent work guys.
Rabea certainly had a misspent youth, but the benefits of that education are abundant for all to see and hear. And I for one am glad of it. It’s also nice to see that you don’t feel the need for any silly antics and showmanship. None of the contorted faces that go predictably with certain chords. It appears that Rabea cares not a jot what others think, he is serving a higher master, namely his own need for perfection. You sir, are an artiste of the first water ! Well done. Australia
sound like dream theater by busting the bank
Use tones from 'Pull Me Under', 'Under Peruvian Skies' and 'Forsaken'.
Seconded. John Petrucci episode.
you get a Mesa Boogie, a MusicMan JP (or any Ibanez, really), add some chorus and delay and voila!
Andertons would go broke. His wah costs nearly €800, for gods sake!
I feel like his use of the whammy bar is a really subtle, but really big part of his sound. Watch any live video of him now and he almost never lets go of the thing. Shine On really stuck out as missing it in this video. Great video otherwise
Sound like Alex Lifeson!!! Great job on this one, BTW.
Pink Floyd live in the rain in Houston at Rice Stadium. From 4 rows up right side of the stage. Gilmour at his height, the band competing with the thunderstorm and the laser show with the lightning. No budget could get you there but that's the sound in my head. The radio capture is on on tube its a great listen
don't know what I enjoyed more... all the information and pointing guitar players in the right direction in terms of gear.... or your playing.... I think o could listen to you guys play pink Floyd for a loooolong time
awesome stuff
Rabea have a wery Soulfull and a lot of emotions in his guitar playing .A great player ! Better than Chapman too i think, :-) because Rabea puts more ""emotions" in his playing.Great Stuff
There were multiple Morgan Freemans in the same room?? :D (4:24)
Sound like JERRY CANTRELL please
I believe that in studio sessions David didn't used phaser pedals. In the 70's was very common use an amplifier called "Leslie rottary speaker" which cause this effect, the same amplifier was used in Rick's organ too. But, also i could be wrong. This video was an amazing job, you're insane!
94 Earls court, and the night after the concert I was at, there was a collapse of a stand in the room?
But the experience of hearing DSOTM, live, and the Division bell, through the 2nd half was emense
The first solo in Shine On You Crazy Diamond was just Gilmour's strat straight into his amp.
burgleberry yeah but other people have to spend thousands to sound like him where as gilmour is gilmour
With Studio compression and reverb, hence his use of pedals
Breaking the bank version did sound a ton better. TY for doing both.
Give the 8 strings some love, do a sound like Tosin Abasi.
Best in-house store video ever! I mean, it is ONLY about guitars :) but Rabea has obviously done his homework nailing the transcriptions, and it all comes off really well
You guys did an awesome job here. Regardless of the budget issue, I think the main contribution of these videos is to help us realize we can get very close to those tones we covet with a reasonably compact rig.
Kevin Shields from My Bloody Valentine. That would be fucking sick
I second that
I third it
In 91.....but I think you have to bankrupt a label too to make it legit.
I fourth it
Just go to the broom closet and get a few vacuums! ;)
Sounds like St. Vincent, please. Any budget!
That would be awesome!
+1 yes
Fuzz Factory #done ;)
Have a search for "St Vincent guitar moves", its all there.
langerdan13 I love that video, but she only talks about technique, not tone.
13:10 The solo is from pt.2 ;)
Gents, all I would say you need to make this rig any better (if you were going to) is an EHX Electric Mistress.
It is an important one, although you guys got great tones from the gear you had. Great job!
David’s strat has a blend switch added, he can add the neck and bridge and all three pickups at once, this was great tone and fine playing. Rabea is a beast!!
Sounds like:
Eagles
Joe Satriani
Steve Vai
Alice in Chains
Megadeth (if it hasn't been done)
Pearl Jam
Black Sabbath
Sleep
High on Fire
Death
Cannibal Corpse
Obscura
Slayer, Scorpions, Deep Purple
To really sound like DG BY busting the bank, buy his actual guitars at his auction in June!
But everyone's bank :)
Sound like Radiohead or the Smiths?
It’s so interesting that everyone is always trying to get the Dark Side sound when they think Gilmour. When I was a kid my dad gave me a bunch of PF vinyls and the one that always stuck with me was actually Animals.
Best episode by far! You could say because its David Gilmour but you guys just nailed it. :) Watched this one probably 10 times now. Greetings from Germany!
sounds like Jimi hendrix by busting the bank
Marshall plexi,jimi hendrix signature,fuzzface and wah wah
