🎸 About This Lesson:
With all of our player studies, we spend a lot of time working out how to recreate the tone of the artist. With David Gilmour, we needed to match the right guitar with the right amp, and then add a few choice pedals to really bring the sound together. In the videos below, our gear specialist Chris will take you through how we created the tone for each solo we studied.

A great way of getting rid of the noise when you're using P90s, or any other 2 x single coil set up such as a Telecaster is to wind the neck pickup in the reverse direction, and reverse polarity to the bridge, and rewire your harness so that the volume pots are independent of each other. Then select the middle position (both pickups) and you esentially have a giant humbucker that you can use the volume knobs effectively without the sound cutting out when you turn 1 of the pickups down to zero like you do when your volume controls are dependently wired.
I've done this exact same thing to a Les Paul with P90s. I only ever have the selector switch in the middle position and use the volume knobs to select which pickup I want to use. It works like a dream and I suffer from no unwanted hum noises at all. It's the perfect set up for guitars with 2 P90s as far as I'm concerned.
maybe i missed it but.. compression! Another Brick pt 2 was a gold top with P90's into a limiter, compressed to all hell, then DI'd into the board. I believe it was sent to an amp, later but compression is the "sound" that makes it pop .
Hi Paul! Ah no, we didn't do that for our tone, but it's a great idea and something that would absolutely work! We kind of got a similar feel using a tube screamer plus the Strymon Decco which ads a touch of Compression. Next time we'll try your suggestion as well :)
Izno Iznogoud that's what I said
Izno Iznogoud oh, Ok.. Haha.. I just saw "actually".. I can see now, you were complimenting what I'd written, with the facts.. Personally, I think people put too much emphasis on gear. I'm sure you know that most of it, is in David Gilmour's hands and ears.. Not to mention Bob Ezrin's, Roger's and James G, Nick S. Good gear is going to make whatever YOU have sound the best YOU can make it, but there's no mana in the equipment, itself.. It's still only valves, wires, potentiometers, resistors,transformers etc.. The magic is in the man and ears of whomever is operating.. Although you do want the characteristics that certain equip provides, undoubtedly.. The old adage of the Silk purse and Sow's ear?.. That is interesting about the Fairchild.. I see you can buy one as a plugin. I'm not too familiar with plugins and such, coming from old school studios with 2', 24 track etc, which is what I worked with. I do have a computer setup and 10 channel mixer, with DBX outboard etc, But I never got that deep into DAW. I just have enough knowledge to track and mix what I want, using real outboard. I wonder how the plugin compares? Do you know anything about it? I'm sure I will get that deep, eventually.
He did play straight into the board, then compressed, etc like stated. I read that 100 times. :-)
Excellent Video, thank you.
Melbourne, Australia.
Thanks John!! Good to see we have some Australian viewers! :)
Brilliant video...!
Thank you Christopher! Massively appreciated :) :)
Very interesting video and you get as near as possible to Gilmour's tone without have Gilmours fingers. I'm intrigued by the Seymour Duncan Pickup Booster on your pedalboard. You don't use it on this demo but I'd love to know what you use it for. I bought one many years ago when the only electric guitar I had was a Strat and I wanted a thicker humbucker tone. It also came in useful as a volume booster when you switch from rhythm to lead playing. I ended up buying a '56 Les Paul Gold Top (with P90 pickups) for the thicker sound and also use the SD Pickup Booster with it to increase the volume.
Hi joe! Thank you for the great comment - Glad you liked the video :) Yes, we use it as a solo boost essentially (a little over the top for just that use, but that's how it's panned out!). It was especially effective with single coil... similar to your P90 pickup situation :)
Thats a great tone. Kudos.
Thanks again Matt!
HE had a les paul goldtop... bought it from a store in New Jersey. At one point was owned by my former boss Vic Dapra who is the undisputed expert on Les Paul bursts.
That little solo you did, was another brick in the wall pt.2 solo, which was done on a les paul not a strat
Which he states at 40 seconds into the video...
What if you have a Squire Affinity?
the dude sitting on the amp looks like happy gilmore. david gilmours cousin
I'd like to see you try and replicate his PULSE tones.
Yeah that would be great fun indeed! If we revisit Gilmour in the future we'll certainly do that :)
@@yga
Would love to see that..... must say Pulse imho is one of the best albums ever released, have the version recorded live at Earls Court, London.
I wonder why you guys used the Eric Clapton Strat model instead of the David Gilmour Strat model. Hadn't it been released yet when you guys made this and the previous video?
Hi Anderson! Simple answer really... One of our tutors had the Clapton strat that we could borrow! Whenever we do our gear videos we only use equipment that we have to hand, or can borrow from tutors/students! I would love to play the Gilmour one though... Have you ever tried it?
I think that's the valid point really - you don't rush out and buy a boat load of equipment, you do it with what you have.
That is a $7700.00 guitar here in canada so I dont think many would have that guitar. Have to be more realistic with a more affordable guitar. Even a Mexi strat will do
😎⚓ 🇺🇸. Okay .. I have a Epiphone Prophecy Les Paul , PRS Spalted Maple SE an a LTD With P rails Strat in other words . I play Through mostly Line Six Amps and My Marshall Half Stack .. any Recommendations for getting this Tone would be Greatly appreciated from anyone ... 😎
Hi Ed! I'll let others wade in on this one... But I'm sure you could get some basic Gilmour tones with that Line 6. Just dial in some delay and compression and you'll already be a bit closer. Anyone else have any ideas?
Dude you had a Lea paul and did not use it for another brick pt.2 David always used a L.P. Until Roger left the band and David only played it live because that is what the record company and fans wanted.
There is no evidence that a rosewood slab on a maple neck, a solid maple neck or a guitar made from carbon fibre sound any different to eachother. Three single coil pickups on any shape and type will sound exactly the same with only exception being a hollow body. Stop pushing this ‘maple sounds brighter’ crap or you’re in the same heap of nonsense as Gibson Tonewood!
