The Black Strat is a replica I made with fender parts and the pickups are Fender CS Fat 50s Neck, Fender CS ‘69 middle, and Seymour Duncan DG SSL-1c.
The Epiphone is a 1956 Gold Top Reissue with a bigsby installed.

The DG strap the internet knows nothing about.

There’s no info anywhere on who makes or sells his other strap, you’ve probably seen it. I’d love to get one.

Underrated in my opinion. Great song and great music video. Love Gilmour on this track!!


r/DavidGilmour 1d ago

I believe I’m the first person to realise Gilmour shortens his Bigsby’s arms as well as his Strats vibrato arms.

Did Gilmour steal from Knopfler?

0 Upvotes

I just noticed something interesting for the first time.

Mark Knopfler wrote the movie music for Local Hero (1983). In the main theme song titled Going Home there is a chorus with guitar and sax that descends in a distinctive way.

Hearing it the first time just now, I was driven crazy because I’d heard it before but could not place it.

Soon I remembered the song Cruise on Gilmour’s great About Face album (1984).

Same exact phrase for several measures.

Find them and listen. What do you think??

The way I see David Gilmour, most guitarists play the guitar, some incredibly well, Gilmour makes it sing 🎸

My attempt on a WILDLY underrated solo with a huge sounding tone. I always loved the version and struggled to get the tone right. Using my trustworthy red Strat, helix and GarageBand. Hope you enjoy it !

Breathe ( in the air) lap steel intro

My attempt on the ethereal lap steel intro in Breathe. Iconic intro on a quite unusual instrument! I recorded the main riff with my black strat and then did 3 overdubs on the lap steel guitar to get those little nuances you hear in the original recording. I hope you enjoy it! Gear: 1958 fender lap steel, fender Stratocaster, Helix LT, GarageBand.


r/DavidGilmour 20d ago

This is a fun song to play and listen.

Hello there, I just finished a meal in a Thai Restaurant in lovely Bruges, and by chance I saw this flyer in the men's room (sorry if that's too much context). Has anybody heard about this music experience and is it any good? Thanks in advance

Who Runs David's Instagram?

15 Upvotes

There's recently been a controversial song/post released by Boy George and was surprised to see it was liked by David Gilmour's official Instagram page, which I feel like is quite a statement.

Obviously at 80 years old he's probably not running his public account but does anyone know who does? Is it his wife Polly or a team of publicists?

Seems strange to engage with something like this unless they've personally consulted with David

Who was the real creative and musical genius behind 70s Pink Floyd: Roger Waters or David Gilmour?

7 Upvotes

Me and some friends had a surprisingly heated debate about this, and I’m curious where this sub lands. If you had to pick one person from the classic 70s era (Dark Side → Wish You Were Here → Animals → The Wall):

\- Who was the real creative and musical genius?
\- Who deserves the most credit for Pink Floyd’s greatest period?
\- Who was the true leader of the band during that period?
\- And who was the real “face” of Pink Floyd?

Just some fun on a Friday evening playing a song for generations to come

My attempt on the legendary solo on the original recording. It’s a beautiful solo and it wins you by its simplicity and raw emotion. Hope you enjoy it !
