man! you won!

What because another good player played one of Gilmours guitars and sounded good?

You forgot the pedals and amp :)

If you search for videos of Gilmour playing his guitar in clean signal, you'll know what i'm talking about, he plays infinitely better than this guy... and without pedals and amp

@@pablotapia702 I agree. His phrasing and timing is unique.

There is truth to it. When other people sample his guitars, it sounds like some guy at Guitar Center

Nonsense.

@@ramencurry6672 Probably because they're not playing through his ridiculous rig.

welll indeed .. to my taste the red strat is superior over the black strat....but taste is hard to discuss of course 🙂

@@yves-zv5ey I think it's because black Strat is more iconic to Gilmour as he has been constantly portrayed with it in his heyday. I'd still choose black Strat over red one for that very reason, and I think it looks cooler, but I understand it's rather subjective. Given the fact I cannot buy the black Strat for more reasons than one I'll be making my very own Gilmour Strat, as I have a fair degree of experience at relicing guitars. Should be something. 🤔

The most iconic Comfortably Numb solo is the original one on The Wall. Recorded with the black strat.

@@martindale1680 Yet the 1994 Pulse version of it is the most played on TV/radio/KZfaq. 🎸 🤔

@@Phoenix_cataclysm_in_2040 I seriously doubt that

his amps and effects play a much more important part in forming his sound

quite right

@@mrbowlingcrazy not really. He still has the exact same, instantly recognisable Gilmour sound when he’s playing an acoustic. Whereas anyone else could plug a strat into a big muff through a 100 watt HiWatt and sound nothing like Gilmour.

i would replace red special with double neck used by mr. page

@@ewefturkey yeah, that one's also very iconic, but it wasn't used in the records if I'm not mistaken

I couldn't believe how much the Black Strat went for.

I rarely see people with Red Special replicas in their collection. I have seen a couple with Frankenstrats. Almost no one has a double neck. But Black Strats? There is no end to them. Almost everyone has a Black Strat in their collection.

That one surprised me, I wasn’t sure about the EMG single coils.

I own emg single coils and they sound great

@@Coopersboy7 I think I might look into them.

Set them pretty low. It’ll make them sound more vintage than if you set them to the emg recommended height.

Also, your vintage strat amp settings will need to be changed some for the EMGs. Treble up higher, less midrange less bass slightly. Set your amp up to make it sound like a strat should basically

Just....push

Or pull

"You pull the wires".

Yep, but You can't Say "Another Break in the wall was recorded with My guitar haha!

yes , it's the same for me ...

Really, his guitars are nothing special. They're old and made of wood like every other guitar out there. No magic fairy dust or unicorns inside. Gilmour bought his strat for retail prices back in 1970 too. Only difference is that you need to record 40 years worth of hits and maybe yours will be worth 3 million dollars one day too. Until then....

nah, just a tool in the eyes of the creator.. they are also pieces of art/history to others, so good for him to sell them for charity. Hopefully he will play Desert Trip II and he can show off something new

They're going to end up strange hands eventually. Why not under David's direction while he is living, and for a cause that he believes in.

@@ericbell6405 I like that

@@liminal6823 He donated the money raised to ClientEarth which is a cause for the climate change crisis which is something he is partial too. Though I don't believe he will reap the results of his donation while he's alive. To each their own. For him a guitar is nothing more than a tool as Eric indicated. It's a chunk of wood in his lap. He's said in past interviews that it really doesn't matter what he plays since it always sounds like himself. IMO, Gilmour could play a $200 Squire and sound better than 99% of the players out there so in reality it doesn't matter when someone is as skilled as himself.

@@ericbell6405 Well said!

Nej.

It's the original guitar from 1969. It's beat to shit.

If that were true he wouldn't have spent so much time swapping out parts and necks until he found the right combination. People saying tone is all in the fingers and not in the instrument or gear are full of shit. It's both.

It doesn't matter what amp guitar ur going through if ur shite at playing Ur argument is that if u give someone good gear they will play and sound as unique as him Cop on u dope 😅

@@TheGazz74 That's not the same argument at all. A person's style is one element of their sound, as is tone, which is not the same thing. People confuse tone with sound. They're not interchangeable.

I agree the vetter the instrument and gear the sweeter and better the tone obviously But the sound that comes out the speaker really has a lot to do with the player 🤔

@@TheGazz74 I would say it has more to do with the speaker. Not all speakers are equal and if the speaker can't reproduce it, you're not hearing it. Doesn't matter how you sound. "Tone is in the fingers" is utter bullshit. It's everything combined.

Agreed i have this guitar for not only 2 months and its already very sentimental and feel like i shouldn't lose her forever

@@swiar_d7057 neve,don't ever

I guess he just wanted some choice in what happened to them, he’s sadly in the last years of his life now. I do wish they had gone to guitarists though, rather than rich twats who wouldn’t even know what to do with them. Sadly we’ll never be seeing those guitars or hearing another note from them ever again.

@@martindale1680 exactly. Give it to a kid that's a musician at heart but doesn't have a proper axe. Don't sell it to snob ah holes

Almost $4 million for the Black Strat...SOLD!!

He got $4 Million for charity. I'd say that's a pretty good reason.

Greatest solos? You mean some of Echoes, and some of Money?

He barely used that guitar, only when he needed 24 frets.

So are bowel movements

If played at all. Sitting in the vaults for the rest of their lives, 95% of the time. Caged birds.

DACCORDISSIMO!!! SENZA ANIMA

Dude wtf are you talking about Frode Barths playing was fantastic in this

@@CEbding1996 Frode Barths knows how to play a guitar but he is no David Gilmour and If I didn't see who was playing I would still say that. The time wasn't even close.

fuck yes, jazz guitar face haha

but its for charity???

They sound "weak" because the player is "weak", not the guitars or amp

@@conan5885 Nah it's the gear, dude is right.
