I sure hope to be able to play this solo as well as you did here - amazing cover! And that Fender Dark Night Stratocaster a thing of beauty - one of the guitars on my wishlist
@@Penno335 Mr Andy it is great because it is so right in the musical notes. And it is you. And it is the fender. It is a combination. Greetings from Greece.
3 years later your video still stands out. And agree with someone else’s comment on choosing between the SSS and HSS. This video helps pushing me to yours. Mine will be in Mercury Silver. Thanks for posting.
This did it for me.. For hours deciding between the SSS or the HSS from other RUclips performances.. Finally, Andy showcasing The HSS and Andy's incredible performance here that finally put me over the Top for the HSS Dark Night.. Thx Andy, I'm a Fan of yours.
@@josephsantana3094 Hi, the first solo is the neck pup, the main solo is 'mostly' on the humbucker but is you watch closely you see me switch to position two and toggle between S/S and H/S before switching back to humbucker. I had only had the guitar a couple of days so was testing my Kemper profiles against positions.
there are a lot of comfortably numb covers but this one is different, defenitely going to save it! i just started out to play the guitar and this inspires me so much.
Kind of you to say, you are right ... it’s done to death but it’s iconic and an example of DG’s brilliance at putting so much emotion into his playing. As such I think it will never grow old.
Great playin Andy. I just got the same guitar delivered yesterday but because of a foot surgery I can’t plant my feet on the ground to be able to play it. You sound great though.
Love the Dark Night color. The American Pro ll I Have is the Olympic White with the Tortoise Guard. I love that guitar. I Love my Strats but love my Tele's more. Just the way it is. I go back n forth but if I HAD to choose a forever guitar of one it would have to be the KOTZEN TELE It's beyond amazing
AH HELL YES!!!! Awesome playing!!! Perfect!!!! I just bought this exact Strat today. Gonna be a while before I get that good but the road there sure is going to be a hell of a lot of fun and doing it in style!!! Thank you for sharing!!!!
Ish? Nah bro you nailed it! I had another video playing and then yours came on snd I literally thought it was Gilmore himself. I had my eyes closed and you made me tear up. Some of the best playing I’ve ever heard. Bravo!!!!!!
I must have watched this video a dozen of time within the last few days. Your guitar skill is making me question my own playing and this Dark Knight Strat is beyond beautiful!
Beautiful guitar! I love the way you started the solo on the single coil and then switch to the humbucker on the other part of the solo. The tone is awesome STRAT CAT!!
Man! Good stuff. Glad you went longer than the studio solo. I always felt David shoulda went longer on the studio solo of the song. This is the closest to David’s playing that I have heard yet. Most people can play the notes but never get David’s style and technique even close ... good job! 👍
Deserves more than 140 odd likes. I keep coming back and having a re listen so you know. Best rendition by far than all on the toob.. can you answer this if still replying, is it worthwhile in your opinion getting the humbucker model or just get sss. Ta
Thank you for the kind words., still shocked by how well this post did. I’m an HSS fan, it really comes down to how much you want the authentic position 2 quack. It has the quack but not as close as an SSS. Personally I would rather have the versatility of the thunderous Humbucker and a fairly close position 2.
Hell yeah. This has me pumped. Insane performance, and very inspirational. As much as I want an HSS, two hours ago I went with the SSS Dark Night. Thanks for sharing.
Great job Andy. My Olympic White and Rosewood should arrive in the next few weeks. Difficult to get a hold of that combo in Sydney. Looking like March batch then September. Testimony to what a great piece of gear this is.. Again nice work on this cover..👍🇦🇺
Hi Andy. Just bought the exact same guitar colour and all mainly to get back into playing after 20 years. Can I ask what settings etc you have there to emulate the specific sound on the American pro 2? I don’t have any pedals etc yet just a fender lt50 amp
Andy. Beautiful, no words can explain the emotions one can get from this video, your playing is beautiful. Any advice for someone who's been playing for years but is totally unmotivated (however, still wants to improve somehow)?? Thank you already, cheers!!
You are so very kind, thank you. When I hit those low motivation times I usually end up revisiting players that inspired me in the first place. Rediscover solos, songs and albums that fired me up. This is exactly what you see in these videos, me trying to motivate myself during the pandemic to continue to play.
Beautiful Fender model! Awesome song performance!
I sure hope to be able to play this solo as well as you did here - amazing cover! And that Fender Dark Night Stratocaster a thing of beauty - one of the guitars on my wishlist
The best demo of fender ...
The worst thing about this video is that it ended. I loved every single second of it and could listen to you play for hours! Amazing!
I’m still shocked at the reaction this video is getting. Thank you so very much.
@@Penno335 Mr Andy it is great because it is so right in the musical notes. And it is you. And it is the fender. It is a combination. Greetings from Greece.
That's the damn truth....awesome
Holy shit . That is good .
Maestro!
Close your eyes and it may as well have been Dave himself playing !
That was OUTSTANDING
Finally someone who didn't F*ck up a classic. Well done
A very modest use of “ish.” Absolutely amazing sound-tweak and playing.
3 years later your video still stands out. And agree with someone else’s comment on choosing between the SSS and HSS. This video helps pushing me to yours. Mine will be in Mercury Silver. Thanks for posting.
That was mesmerizing. I would have loved to have heard it a little more at the front of the mix; so beautiful. 🤦♂
I have the guitar but not the skills -great job - my favorite song and group.
This did it for me.. For hours deciding between the SSS or the HSS from other RUclips performances.. Finally, Andy showcasing The HSS and Andy's incredible performance here that finally put me over the Top for the HSS Dark Night.. Thx Andy, I'm a Fan of yours.
So kind, thank you :)
@@Penno335 Were you playing in single coil mode here or in humbucker?

Really well played Sir, and an awesome rendition on the HSS Dark Knight - thank you and greetings from California 👋
Phenomenal job here! Feels are here)
I'm a little late to this party, stumbled on this because I want to get that very strat as my next guitar. Beautiful cover. Great technique.
there are a lot of comfortably numb covers but this one is different, defenitely going to save it! i just started out to play the guitar and this inspires me so much.
Kind of you to say, you are right ... it’s done to death but it’s iconic and an example of DG’s brilliance at putting so much emotion into his playing. As such I think it will never grow old.
Amazing...
I watch a lot of RUclips guitar clips
I keep coming back to this one....
Thank you!
Not sure why youtube decided to suggest this to me, but I'm glad it did, this was awesome! Thanks for sharing :)
Great playin Andy. I just got the same guitar delivered yesterday but because of a foot surgery I can’t plant my feet on the ground to be able to play it. You sound great though.
One of the best solos ever
Wow wasn't expecting the tone to be so close

the best song to play on a strat I bought the exact guitar should be delivered on monday the 26th of feburary
AH HELL YES!!!! Awesome playing!!! Perfect!!!! I just bought this exact Strat today. Gonna be a while before I get that good but the road there sure is going to be a hell of a lot of fun and doing it in style!!! Thank you for sharing!!!!
I Love the Playing and I also got the same Dark Knight yesterday! traded my Stat Performer for it.
I bought the dark knight today.
I wil use the sunonyms words that i was taught from my English teacher..
Marvelous Gorgeous Extraordinary Amazing Fabulous
C'est extraordinaire, je suis tellement dégoûté quand la vidéo termine alors je la relance encore et encore
Absolutely brilliant. Love from India.
Ish? Nah bro you nailed it! I had another video playing and then yours came on snd I literally thought it was Gilmore himself. I had my eyes closed and you made me tear up. Some of the best playing I’ve ever heard. Bravo!!!!!!
Thank so much for those kind words, very glad people enjoy this.
I concur:)
Still in love with the strat?
Yes
that guitar fucking cries, great guitar great cover great song love it thanks.
Sorry had to come back again this is great the playing and now is the time to buy that strat as the ultra 2s are out so this ones going cheaper
abs terrific sounding rendition! Look no more then here, truly amazing playing.
That dark night finish is absolutely gorgeous, and your playing makes the guitar look even prettier.
Excellent playing!
Your playing is like your strat : absolutely awesome ! 😍
Gave that guitar a Run run run run for it’s Money 💰!!
Awesome job, got me in the mood to give it another go! Tried many times to get it sounding right and given up. Thank you for the inspiration 😎🎸🎸🎸😎
I must have watched this video a dozen of time within the last few days. Your guitar skill is making me question my own playing and this Dark Knight Strat is beyond beautiful!
I see guitarists on Instagram daily that make me wanna burn my guitars. Keep playing .... it heals the soul.
well played sir! I felt that!!! 👍🤘👌
Beautiful guitar! I love the way you started the solo on the single coil and then switch to the humbucker on the other part of the solo. The tone is awesome STRAT CAT!!
I hope this guy get a million views. P.S I'm jealous of his dark knight Fender Strat. Basterd.
Outstanding sir
Favorite guitar video on RUclips thanks sir !
I’m humbled, thank you.
Man! Good stuff. Glad you went longer than the studio solo. I always felt David shoulda went longer on the studio solo of the song. This is the closest to David’s playing that I have heard yet. Most people can play the notes but never get David’s style and technique even close ... good job! 👍
I can only dream of mastering the art of playing a guitar like this. And one of the most soulful pieces of music ever written.
This just made my day! I was thinking of buying one of these Strats with the rosewood in this color.
It is Bat man The dark knight edition :D
Who needs David Giimour
wow, thanks man !! :)
Pump the brakes! Haha. Nice playing however
Everybody!
Absolutely fantastic!!! This guy played that perfect. Way to go!
awesome guitar awesome playin!
Best solo ever.... Great Great Great!!!!!
Absolutely nailed it. The tone and especially the playing were spot on!
I almost forgot to watch this today
Wow, just wow ❤
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Excellent playing!
Very dialed in and informed playing, sounds great 👍
Amazing! I just bought a 2021 in Olympic White today. I can only hope mine can sound half as good as yours!
Wow awesome playing and the tones were gorgeous 👍🔥🎸🦅
Thank you very much Sir

Throw a humbucker in there. I have the Miami blue one that I’ll be doing that in soon.only color I could find locally. I still like the color though.

Amazing playing, as always👍
Wow. That's great. Great sound and a lot of feeling in the final solo. Very good. Good job. Really good.
Fantastic playing! Fantastic sound! Fantastic looking Fender!
Have watched this over and over, sublime playing. Have also convinced myself that I need that exact spec guitar!! It’s happening 😌
That was sensational,, I wanna be like you when I grow up✌️
Honestly, growing up is overrated :)

Great job and great Strat!
Awesome job! I am so looking forward to getting this guitar!!! It's on back order so I have to wait three months! 😭
I leaned back at 3:41 just the same time you did. I guess it's a universal guitar thing.
Freakin kick ass!

Maybe you can send me the Kemper Files? Amazing sound and playing....
Well played!
Wow! That was beautiful!
Thank you so much!
Just wonderful!!
Who’s the maniac that clicked thumbs down? What are you some kind of a nut? This video is aces! 👍🏼
Well everyone is entitled to an opinion, perhaps I didn’t play enough notes :P
