Man ... He always has such beautiful phrasing !!!

 

[Harpozep]

Thanks. Nice little bit. I passed it on to a friend.

Les Paul's sound sweet in Floyd songs. Andy Fairweather Low usually tours with Roger Waters and plays a Les Paul. He plays some ripping stuff on the "The Wall Live In Berlin" show...

Going to see Waters on the 30th. Wish Dave was there...

Yeah and Snowy White on the Floyd and Water's tours as well as actually doing Pigs on the Wing, from the 8-track version of Animals. It was originally done by Snowy White on his Gibson Les Paul Goldtop.
It is available on the Snowy White CD "Goldtop"

Here's a nice Snowy song while we are at it:

Yeah I finally got to see Snowy on the In The Flesh tour, which was one of my top 5 shows of all time. Snowy, Andy, and Doyle Bramhall III on guitars. Smokin..

Oh that sounds So good. I'm glad you got to experience that lineup.

I have to get over my disdain for Waters. He is great, I know that. But for a period, it seemed like a very LONG period, I could not stand his approach to vocals. All the whispering then screaming, then down to a whisper again, just wore me out and chased me away. I'm over that now. Hopefully Roger is too?

That's beautiful... I had seen Gilmour playing Les Pauls before, which I thought it was kinda weird becuase he always have Strats... Im just trying to remeber where I saw it...

[Harpozep]

He's taken to that Les Paul lately. Perhaps more to come?

He used a Les Paul on one of the songs from he wall tour from memory, will have to do some reasearch from my dvd copy to see which one it is

 

[DolmenRage]

He used a Les Paul on the solo for Comfortably Numb from the Wall tour in 1980

Amazing solo. And beautiful song.

 

[tiedstick]

My favorite guitarist right there.

DG's a beast.

I have always liked David Gilmour. Now I like him even more since EMG put me next to him on their website artist roster.

P90's aren't that far a stretch for our Strat playing friend, great tone and playing as has been mentioned..

That whammy bar mod looks weird, though.

Cool! So are you David Gibbs or David Graef? Congrats on making the artist list, you're in rare air bro.

Here's something I found at GC, it's GHS strings David Gilmour Signature series for his LP. He uses these for his Lester as they don't work well in a Strat, they get hung up in the tremolo.

GHS David Gilmour Signature Red Set Electric Guitar Strings and more Guitar Strings at GuitarCenter.com.
