David Gilmour playing another brick in the wall 🎸🎼

[@tringamonga2024]

When we discovered that it was recorded with a Les Paul with p90, sales of Les Paul or gold top copy with p90 began to increase. Thanks I am going to order one

​@@michaelangel2492 he's not wrong. You don't need the exact gear. If you've played with different amps and done your fair share of tweaking, you'd know you can get any sound out of anything.

Dear David, thank you for this beautiful solo. It reflects the state of my soul, every note touches my soul. I am slowly learning it, and I am grateful to God and to you for such wonderful music.

[@bricktop201]

Always loved the idea that so many people were chasing what they thought was the perfect Strat tone and it turns out to be a vintage Les Paul with soap bars. Mind you, I preferred it when no one but me like P90’s....

[@sultanoftippoo3857]

As always stunning to hear him play. Also interesting to see whatever he plays (Strat, Les Paul) it’s his fingers that heavily influences the sound not just the particular equipment that he uses.

[@MrEarle999]

That unmistakable tone and glissando sends shivers throughout my entire being

[@connorclarke1218]

One of if not the tastiest guitar solo in a popular rock song, or just by a rock guitarist in general. The subtlety in like Hendrix meeting Mark Knopfler

[@xtc1957]

Right up there as well, with the anthemic guitar duo of Don Felder and Joe Walsh on "Hotel California." Distinctive sounds from two guitars, created with ingenuity and played with remarkable feel and compliment to each guitarist.

I am surprised no one has mentioned the heavy compression which is a big part of the sound.

[@StONed-yx5qq]

Gilmour with a GIBSON!!! My mind is blown that a ‘55 was the original guitar for that solo!!!!!!!!!

[@bricktop201]

Yep, a vintage Les Paul with P90’s is the quintessential Strat tone 😆😆👍

[@redrock1963]

1955 Gibson LP Goldtop with P90's - and here (everyone) gives lessons for this solo with the assumption that it's recorded with a Strat.

[@moshezarviv1252]

for me the best solo of Gilmour far ahead of the others

[@lubomirgasparik]

It's the first time I've seen David play it, because for me it's definitely his best solo, it's just a shame that it's already been modified many times at concerts. That powerful compressor is important because there he plays long notes and the string wouldn't sound as long as it needs to. Perfect!

compressed to within inches of its life

[@xtc1957]

AGREED! That's what I said... "Got squish?" His live show is also very "greasy." The EFX and signal processing are a large part of his extraordinary sound. But man, the guy has feel, and aside from Joe Walsh on a Bigsby, NO ONE has a better hand for a vibrato bar. Both use it in a very singular way.

I've read repeatedly that he uses 10, 12, 16, 28, 38, 48 on the strat and 10.5, 13, 17, 30, 40, 50 on the LP. I can get through the solo okay with a .010 -.048 set on my LP, and the shorter scale helps, but I think the flatter radius does too. Gilmour can wring out perfect fourth bends on any instrument, but he's been doing that for decades.
