Comfortably Numb, if it were written by Dire Straits

2 жыл бұрынComfortably Numb, if it were written by Dire Straits.
I had a ton of request for this one and it's taken quite a while to figure out how to make it work, but this is what I came up with.
The most notable change is probably the chorus and the last solo being in double time. I believe it was the best option for this song, to give it a more Dire Straits feel and to make for a more interesting final solo.
Played on my Fender Vintera 50s mod through a Fender Blues Junior amp.
Effects used:
- Polara Reverb
- TC Electronics Flashback Delay
- Ibanez TS-9 Tubescreamer
- MXR Dyna Comp compressor

The change in tempos is pure Knopfler. Love it. Two of my favorite guitarists are Gilmour and Knopfler. One uses sustained notes that are vocal like and the other is more of a picker, almost banjo style. I love them both. This artist understands production and sound styles. Impressive!

As a child my favorite band was Dire Straits, and as an adult it's Pink Floyd, so this cover made my hair stand on end from like the third second and my brain is in love with this. So much. So so much. I love even the idea of this. At first I was a little thrown by the juxtaposition of the double-time chorus which felt more 'On Every Street' era Dire Straits than 'Communiqué' era Dire Straits (my fave DS song will always be 'News'). I leaned in hard, and the guitar solo TOTALLY paid off as promised! Plus the fade-out left me hungry for more. Bravo! Wooo! Your style & skill at performing Pink Floyd in the style of Dire Straits, plus the work it took, is much appreciated by me. Thank you for sharing
