- EDIT: I don't have tabs for this solo. Learned by ear! :-)
What better way to introduce my latest addition to my collection of guitars than a Pink Floyd cover?!
Taken from the album 'Delicate Sound of Thunder' I've decided to redo this cover of On the Turning Away, now with a Fender with whammy bar.
Sound, just from Logic Pro X (Preset called 'Arena Ready' which I modified a bit).
Backingtrack: / pink-floyd-on-the-turn...
Fender MIM Stratocaster
Logic Pro X
Rating and/or comment would be appreciated!
No copyright infringement intended, just dedicating my love to Pink Floyd's music, that's all :)
You feel that the cover was perfect when you cry watching this video.
Thank you very much, Mr. Ligiero! :)
Same. Incredible stuff.
After all these years, I still feel the same. A truly emotional and soulful cover. Thank you!
A fantastic piece of music played brilliantly. Gilmour would be proud.
I would be honoured knowing he'd seen it and nodded approvingly. :-)
This solo seems to be a lot more complicated than I would have thought. You handled it well. Respect!
For some reason Gilmour's solos are very naturally to me. But I'd say his late 80s work is on the rather technical side, never leaving the emotional side of course! :)
Played absolutely perfectly mate!! Wow ❤
Thank you very much, Paul! It's a fairly old cover by now, but somehow still my most viewed and commented on. Thanks for taking the time!
I've been playing guitar for 18 months and people like you are my inspiration. This is one of my favorite solos ever and you played it with real soul.
I feel like I have to correct you by saying you probably mean David Gilmour is your inspiration.. I am merely a copycat.. :-)
But thank you, Gilmour's solos deserve nothing less than to be played with soul!
I am 62, I used to weep while listening to this piece ❤ my blessings to you ❤
Cheers, that means a lot!
OUTSTANDING !!!! Smashed me in the feels ..To nail Dave Gilmours style you have to feel it, it won't work any other way and you then have to have the ability to transition from slow bends to incredible speed still feeling the notes you hit ,that's what keeps you in tune .....You have got all of this Santosh ..best of luck ...blown away ..you are an incredible guitar player sir!
Your comment makes my day! :D Thanks a lot! You are right about playing Gilmour being more about the feels, and somehow I don't have that connection to other players their style :)
Not Sir David but there is only one. Very good.......
Beautiful! Two years later, and it gets better with time!
Thanks Geoff! And yeah, time flies by...
Hey people,
Again I am so overwhelmed by all the positive words this cover of mine gets!
I kindly invite you to check out my ORIGINAL composition: th-cam.com/video/82bZkgyJkYw/w-d-xo.html
Playing David Gilmour's stuff is nice, but playing my own stuff is nicer. You might hear some David Gilmour influences however..
Enjoy!
A 101% perfect execution... my deepest respect and admiration for your art
Thank you Douglas! However, I have to say that this is purely David Gilmour's art, not mine. I'm merely a copycat! :D
@@SantoshKuppens you're too modest...
@@massimomorini6627 Hehe, I dare to disagree! :D
Dam bro I'm blown away and killer looking strat
Thanks Matthew! It's a Mexican, truly a delight to play on it as well!
Hey people, thanks for all your nice words. I invite you kindly to check out my cover of the studio version of this solo: th-cam.com/video/XYNYe5OrKi4/w-d-xo.html
Have a wonderful day you all,
Santosh
Great job on the whammy bar! You got his signature vibrato right!
Cheers!
By far and away the best cover of the DSoT version of this epic solo. Gilmour would be proud bro!!
Thank you very much, Graham! It would be really cool to know if David Gilmour has watched some of my videos, and if so, what he thinks of them! :D
Dude. You gave me chills. Very well done Sir!
Thanks for leaving a nice comment Rodney! All the best. :-)
I agree with your fans.It 's best sounding truest version of the song.
I'm sure David would be impressed!!!
Thanks a lot for your nice words Joseph! :)))
@@SantoshKuppens You're welcome Santosh ! Can you tell me what gear you use to get that Gilmour sound? I have an American standard Eric Clapton strat,Mesa amp, ME-70 Boss multi effects pedal.The sound you have is amazingly similar to the recording. I'm trying to learn the lead to that song now because you make it sound incredible and I wanna learn !!
@@josephmagnani3949 Hey again Joseph. My answer might disappoint you, or maybe it will do the opposite.
The sound is purely a Logic Pro X preset ('Arena Ready') that I modified a bit. Modified by the means of EQ, Reverb, Delay and not much more.
I am under the believe that the player's fingers contribute way more to the sound than is accepted by many. There are arguments for and against this statement, but it is a statement I believe to be true. :)
Best cover ever. I've watched this a minimum of 30 times in 2 weeks. I am trying to learn this solo.
Thanks for the views! Good luck with it, it's a gem. :)
probably the best cover of this song ive heard
Cheers Dom!
The thing you do at 2:02 - 2:05 is something else man. Not talking about the technique just the emotion flowing through and the timing.
Thank you for that.
Thank you for your nice comment Oskar!
It was a rather agressive tap, as I am never sure how well it will ring through. Not that familiar with the tapping world. :)
@@SantoshKuppens The whole thing was beautiful.
Very very good job 👌🏼
You just nailed it man....... bravo
Thanks a lot Mannu! :)
@@SantoshKuppens I watch it again and again.........still no other cover comes close to it 👏👏👏
@@mannu7554 Cheers man, that means a lot! :)
The best cover of this song on yt!
I am glad you think so! :)
I agree
Great, perfect!👌
Thanks Anthony!
Outstanding song and a criminally overlooked solo by Dave. Excellent choice, and great tone, feel and nuance to your rendition of Dave's solo 👍👍👍
Thank you so much for your kind words. They are much appreciated! :-)
Hai perfettamente ragione. È un assolo finale eccellente, inspiegabilmente trascurato. Boh?
When all people understand this music, there will be peace in the world. Best gregards from Slovenija...border near Italy ...Trieste 🙂
Wow! You’re killing it Santosh! By far the best Pink Floyd solo videos on TH-cam. I am amazed at your tone from a MIM strat. My custom shop doesn’t sounds this good. You definitely have inspired me to learn this solo. Please keep up the videos. Thanks!
Thank you for This beautiful thing 🙏❤️
Thank you Mehmet for you beautiful words, they are much appreciated!
Amazing! Your sense of rhythm is awesome !
groucho3500 Thanks! :)
Beautiful work, this solo makes me time travel in my own alternate reality
One of the most emotional solos of all time. Good job dude 👍
Thanks man!
Grandissima cover. Ho ascoltato l'originale centinaia di volte da quando è uscito l'album, ma questa produzione, che trovo pressoché perfetta, fra tutte quelle del web, per me è la migliore. Per tutti gli altri, ricordate che Gilmour, non lo si può semplicemente copiare, lo si deve interpretare. E lui ci è riuscito perfettamente. Bravissimo
Well played. Outstanding bro !! This is one of my favorites.
Thank you very much! :)
Very soulfully played!! Thoroughly enjoyed watching and listening to this video 🙏
#The Best Guitar SoLo Cover Of The DAVID GILMOUR /PINK FLOYD
Imagine Dragons Thanks!
Amazing guitar cover. My favorite Pink Floyd song.
Thank you very much!
Great music and fantastic performance! All the best and have a happy time!
Thank you very much! :-)
Praticamente uguale all'originale.Bravo
Mille Grazie! :)
As someone who just bought his first guitar few week ago, I keep watching this and think I ever one day I will be as good. You killed it
Hey there, how exciting! I remember when me and my dad drove 1 hour (in Belgium that's considered far away) to buy a second hand guitar starters kit - still have it! Broke a string within an hour and had no spare strings. Don't let any setback stop you, it might become your biggest passion!
@@SantoshKuppens I would never thought to have such a nice reply to my comment. It shows a lot about your great personality. Thank you sir, you made my day
@@MidnightLofier Thank you! :)
Absolutely brilliant well done ( best on TH-cam ) and I’ve seen them all 👏🏻👏🏻
Hehe wow, thank you very much! :))
Cant stop watching this pal, absolutely beautiful
Hey man, thanks a lot for leaving your kind words, means a lot to me! Please keep watching! :))
El mejor cover ! No por que lo haya hecho casi igual ,sino por la cantidad de recursos y técnicas distintas al original osea el amigo lo personaliza esto !
Saludos
Muchos gracias!!! :D
That's a clean cover, very good. Nice strat too
Thanks for taking the time to leave nice words, John. Love the MiM Strat. It definitely does the job for me. Would love to get my hands on an American one at some point.
Best On The Turning Away cover of Internet
I'm glad you think so! :)
Yes, indeed! The best performance by far. And I have watch all TH-cam covers of this song xD. If I may complain about something is that the tone could be improved. You should check Francesco Carpentieri channel (th-cam.com/channels/Hrr3aa2Wteska76DY3S3ZQ.html), who I think has accomplished the closest David Gilmour's tone (Francesco has based his setup and gear following gilmourish.com tips, but has take it even furder and better). Greetings from Argentina!
No it's not. It's ok though
Thanks man. I have checked out his channel and the tone is definitely there. The paying lacks a bit of feeling though. :)@@gianfranco.barbiani
yes but this version is good too, very original. The bridge is stranger however ahah th-cam.com/video/v59Zkw_3qqA/w-d-xo.html
Fantastic job
What’s crazy when seeing Dave in concert he’s so fluid, like he’s not trying so hard.
👍🏻👍🏻 to u, like I was there in 88
Thank you very much! You're lucky to have seen him in his guitar high days. The funny thing is, it's his natural way of playing, which others have to replicate in order to sound convincing and thus requiring a lot more effort. The same with Mark Knopfler, whose style is even more distinct I think. The fact that it's his natural way of playing still dazzles me at times, so precise, articulated and clean.
Best on the web. Please give details of the gear you used for this.
Thanks. Please read the description. :)
A very fine performance and true to the original. Well done.
Thank you. It's always my intention to play it note for note and replicate the feeling as well.
Damn this so good. Well done!
Cheers Robert!
Great performance...bravo
Thanks Lorenzo! :)
Man, it's really the best TH-cam cover of this solo. And I'm a big fan of Gilmour.
Thanks a lot for your nice words! :))
Excellent and tons of soul!..David Gilmour would be proud.....
Thanks for the nice words Marc! :)
I can’t even hardly put my words in here...... I’m aghast by your performance, sir!!! Dave would be so proud
Thanks a lot Kyle!
Genuinely one of the best covers I’ve ever seen
I genuinely thank you for this comment, much appreciated!
Absolutely incredible.
Thanks!
HELL YEAH !!!! LOVE IT !!!!! GREAT JOB !
Thank you very much! :)
Awesome !!!!
I get chills!
Merci beaucoup!
Lots of people say they can when they can't.. I was sceptacle, but, you rocked it mate, well done 👏.
Hehe thanks for your kind words, Mr. T30 :-)
Tremendous cover!!!
Thanks Jeff!
Das Solo hat mir schon immer gut gefallen. Von dir gespielt ist es wunderschön. David Gilmour wäre ebenfalls begeistert.
Ah yes, the 2019 live version solo! Thanks for this bud.
You're welcome!
Amazing playing, just like master Gilmour🤩🤘
I try my best, thanks!
Back here for this excellent guitar playing ,great work Santosh .I read in the comments you say you are only copying Mr Dave Gilmours masterwork .... but there is much more going on here ,you are tuned into his world and not many musicians can dream or have the ability to get close to what you have achieved . As i said before "To nail Dave Gilmours style you have to feel it, it won't work any other way " It is an incredible cover of his solo and i still think it will remain the best one i've seen!
Thanks for coming back! And thanks again for your kind words, I'm truly grateful for those!
At least I feel I'm a mere copycat, but you are right. There is definitely some work in getting into his lines and feeling them. I am glad you think I can communicate them back in a convincing way! :)
Wow!!! Perfect solo😉
Thanks!
NAILED IT!!! I wish you could see the smile on my face. Truly awesome dude ~ thank you!
Hehe cheers Scott! I wish I could! :-)
Soy de Argentina, me gusta mucho David Gilmour, lo vi en vivo, es de lo mejor lo que haces, igual al estilo de DG, los mismos tiempos, el mejor cover, excelente!! 🔝
Muchas gracias! :D
Easily one of the best solo cover on the internet. Hats off bro!
Thanks a lot for your nice words! :)
Bhai khatarnak 🙏. Even David Gilmour can't replicate these tones so accurately.
Thanks a lot Akash! :)
I used to jam pink floyd with my dad when i was a kid. This song reminds me of him. Those solo notes are like no other. Spot on Santosh. Its a slightly different sound when played at home but it makes a lot of difference when you hear the studio version one too many times. Keep it up brother, youre fuckin awesome
Hey Ross, thank you for your very nice comment! It was my dad who introduced me to Pink Floyd, so listening to Pink Floyd reminds me of the time my dad was telling me the story of 'The Hobbit' over a classical version of 'Dark Side of the Moon', performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra. Those were good times. :)
The studio version is top notch Gilmour. It's such an underrated solo as it's full of small details, amazing whammy bar actions, incredible bends.. Thanks, you too! :)
La mejor versión, escuchada con sentimiento, mis respetos
Beautifully played.
Thank you very much! :)
Congratulations from the south of France.So Great
Un grand merci à vous!
Awesome!! Love watching your Floyd solos.
Thank you very much Thomas. Maybe there's more to come..? ;)
Wow, just wow ...............peerless
Thank you! And thank you for learning me a new word, I had never heard 'peerless' before! :)
You ...you sir. You feel the floyd. Obvious. I too feel it. David has a way of expressing the hell out of music.
Thanks! :)
Santosh Kuppens saw your reply. Got to listening again. Again. Damn. Killer bro.
Thanks once again! :)

Thank you so much Andy!
Just came across this video accidentally. What a wonderful cover Santhosh . Captured all emotions. Struck straight to the heart.

Closed my eyes and thought I was listening to David play and forgot it was a cover. Well played my friend. Have a good day.
Thank you very much! You made my day a good day :D

The day I bought Delicate Sound of Thunder, I was hooked on this song. You did it Justice. Thank you. Keep playing
Thank you very much, I definitely intend to keep playing. Hope to cover the studio version of 'Sorrow' one day, it's the most difficult solo from Gilmour in my opinion, so many details!
@@SantoshKuppens I love Sorrow, when you do post, I'll be watching. You'll get there. You have amazing talent
Thanks! :)
Woww.. You nailed it mate ❤
The best cover ever of this classic solo. 🤘👍💪
Thanks a lot! :)
Mesmerized !!!
Cheers Chafik!
Another level brother...stay blessed🙏🙌❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you very much for your kind words, they’re really appreciated. In the end, I’m still copying someone else, but to be able to get the feeling right is definitely regarded as a compliment, so thank you!
