Absolutely balls bro!!! Thick gilmour here. Hats off my man. Killer job. I had NO idea he was picking more than one string at a time. Yup I was playing it wrong. But I got that slow lift into Em that I love so much.
The sections where you let the sound feedback are too long, but I understand that might have been to make a point. Other than that, you are one of the first players I have ever seen play the into correctly.
Great work again, just like Comfortably Numb 👌 The guitar sound is fantastic and done without EMGs 🤔 Is it possible for a little breakdown from guitar to effects to amp please?
Thank you. My pickups are more similar to Gilmour’s Black Strat, but I do have the EMG SPC midbooster installed on it (lmk if you’re interested in the complete spec list for my guitar). Generally, for any songs post-Roger Waters, I turn down my master tone and turn up the SPC a bit to make it sound more like David’s candy apple red Strat. Here, I am actually turning up the SPC to the max on a long note in an attempt to squeeze out harmonics from the feedback. As for pedals & amps, I am using none :). I plug into a USB audio interface to my computer, where I am using plugins and virtual effects/amps more or less based on David’s gear, depending on the era. For this song, it’s compressor > big muff > hiwatt > some chorus > a bit of rotating speaker > delay > reverb
Yep! Saw one other person do this on CZcams and thought, wow this guy is crazy until I watched it live and found out it was true! Why can you buy that Poland dvd??? Haha I want that concert
It’s very subtle and hard to miss but it makes a lot of difference to the sound. I think when they released the Pompeii dvd, they probably felt like they didn’t need to release anything else from that tour
Can you please tell me what kind of neck you have on this Strat. Is it Urethane, or nitro finish. My 1995 MIM Candy Apple Red Strat with EMG DG20 needs a new neck and in the market for a 50's vintage but I'm not sure which to get. His looks somewhere in-between light and tinted Maple. Cheers. PS. hope you're still on good terms with your neighbors!
Hi, the neck on my Strat came from Warmoth. When I ordered it, I chose options that were pretty modern and non-traditional for a Strat (compound radius, stainless steel frets, black pearl inlays, etc.), but I think they do offer options that are accurate to vintage spec if that’s what you’re going for. They don’t come with the Fender logo. It is polyurethane finish in the honey vintage tint, not sure if they offer nitro. I think their regular vintage tint option is a closer color to what David had, at least in the 80s when his guitar was still new at the time.
You should check out DG playing Sorrow on the Fender Anniversary concert. Strat pack. Another great view of his hands picking this intro. I know it’s a moot point but it’s still interesting and different to see him play Floyd without his full rig. He just walks out and plugs in….
Well David has the best guitar techs possible at his disposal so it’s easy for him. For me, I just make sure the guitar nut and bridge saddles are properly lubricated, that way when I use the whammy it doesn’t go out of tune that much
Thank you. If I do, it will be very some very obscure release on bandcamp, definitely not here, I am not brave enough for that! haha, also my music is very not-Floyd like
@@lionofnaples Good to hear! With all you talent It would be a shame if you would not become more than a Pink Floyd clone :) You show that you are very sensitive for the details in music. The best conditions for your own music to be very interesting. What kind of music is it?
@@3dbildermacher590 yeah, wanting the details of this music to be performed right is why I have this channel. I see many other people on CZcams I feel not doing it justice. But I am opinionated of course. The music I make myself is more modern and more on the pop side. Still guitar based, but with less guitar solos.
Spot on! I'm amazed how good it sounds, never new he did this hybrid picking on this intro!
Yeah it does sound better if you play two notes rather than one
Absolutely balls bro!!! Thick gilmour here. Hats off my man. Killer job. I had NO idea he was picking more than one string at a time. Yup I was playing it wrong. But I got that slow lift into Em that I love so much.
Thanks! Yeah that slow pull up on the whammy with the Em is such a killer way to start the song
David actually does that a lot. It’s 1 of the techniques he uses to add harmonics to his playing.
Insightful, great help. Thanks!
I'm looking forward to your full cover
😅 the solo at the very least!
You are right i originally transcribed this in 88 when the live version came out and i did it in octaves also but later thought i was wrong. Thanks
Nice, you got it earlier than most of us then!
Awesome, thanks!
Thank you!
Precise work!🔥🔥🔥
Thank you!
Thank you for watching!
Spectacular. Thank you for sharing.
Excellente thank a lot
You’re welcome, thanks!
I worked this out way back when pulse was first shown on the telly.
I love that slashing sound on the slide, it sounds like lightening.
I’ve never seen this song performed live personally. It must feel like thunder while you’re actually there
I saw it in Birmingham alabama in 1994 and the sound was unreal like the bass in the guitar sounded like an earthquake
Pretty Great. Nice job!
Thanks!
fantastic video, it was a great help
Thank you, glad it helped !
The sections where you let the sound feedback are too long, but I understand that might have been to make a point. Other than that, you are one of the first players I have ever seen play the into correctly.
Thanks. My setup wasn’t loud enough to squeeze out those harmonics quicker, but it was already too loud as is and I didn’t want to risk it
Good Job! 👊
Thank you!
Great work again, just like Comfortably Numb 👌

It’s always gonna be extra with David. People say his stuff is easy to play but when they demonstrate, it’s usually wrong.
Yup. Subtle but extra
Yes. I play it wrongly!!!! Thank you for the tips
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching
Great analysis! Are you going to make a tutorial of the solo as well?
Thank you! I don’t think I will do a tutorial on the solo though, I don’t have the patience 😂💀

Nice. You have a sharp eye. I never saw that man. Btw, nice strap. Who made it?
Thank you! And the strap I got from a company called Walker & Williams
@@lionofnaples 👍
How did you get this tone?? Sounds so good!!!!
Thanks. I used Guitar Rig 6 on my computer. I own no pedals or amps at the moment
Great Job BUT the whole key to playing the Magnificent Song is HOW THE HELL DO U GET THAT SOUND FROM PULSE. Please tell us that.
Thank you! I used Guitar Rig 6, with settings more or less based on David's gear on the 1994 tour. The key was using chorus and rotating speakers
put your guitar in front of your speaker to get the feedback sooner..
I don’t think I’ll be trying this again any time soon lol but thanks

@lionofnaples thank you it sounded great
Plays it differently on the album vs the octaves live
I’m not sure what you’re trying to say. Are you saying he doesn’t play octaves on the album version?
@@lionofnaples It doesn't sound like it. Sounds like single strings on the album version.
@@booshting3520 I disagree. Sounds like octaves to me.
Judge Judy lol..... 😂
Her reaction is very appropriate 😂
can't wait to hear some of your own music!
Thank you. If I do, it will be very some very obscure release on bandcamp, definitely not here, I am not brave enough for that! haha, also my music is very not-Floyd like
