Gilmour's tone is pure ... there is no words really... it just is a sound that is unmistakable and everything great. I can listen to it forever, and it will never ever sound bad, or get old.
Probably the greatest tone of all time. I could listen to you play that clean all day. So pleasing to the ears. I might actually go out and purchase this set up now.
This "sound like" series is very useful - I would never buy any gear to sound like anyone, but this series shows how various bits of gear complement eachother to produce good overall sounds. Good work, boys.
My dad it's very proud he saw my talent when I was a little kid now I'm a great guitar player and my dad is very happy for me P.S. sorry if I sound kind of douchy I don't want you to think that way
+Cristian Gabriel same here, I'm here for the second time today. thankfully, I have a well-paying summer job lined up, so I'm going to invest in a few pedals and see what happens!
Michael Osztertag 'They're just focussing on the cleaner, phasey sound for which Gilmour is known best. Maybe they can revisit some other sounds in a future video - let us know if you'd like that. '
Michael Osztertag I think this is a great rig for about 85% or more of Gilmour tones. He certainly had some amazing fuzzed out solos, but a grand majority of his tone is really clean. This would be a great starting rig to get most of his sounds, then you could just buy a cheap big muff or silicon fuzz face (both between 60-80 pounds I believe) and get the rest of the way for his sound.
The Dyna comp actually acts as enough of a boost (placed AFTER a fuzz) tp get that singing Gilmour tone with any Big Muff or Silicon Fuzz face styled circuit! I'd say to nail the MOST of his tones, you might want to go for a Jimi Hendrix Fuzz Face Mini, a silicon fuzz which is much better than their regular one. The cool thing about silicon is that it nails his early fuzz face tones and can really push into that smooth fat big muff range.
Miguel Fernandes The funny thing is that we all think of him with 'Lucille' The Gibson 'ES355' with no F holes and a Varitone and he famously used a Labseries L5 or L7 or a Fender Twin BUT a lot of what I consider his greatest records are recorded using a Fender Esquire. 'Everyday I have the blues' is most definately a Fender Esquire and the original version of that is brilliant. He never used fx.
I think these demos are great. Really informative for someone like me who lives 50 miles from the nearest music shop. I like Rabea too. Very clever guy, yet warm and good humoured with it - and honesty shines through. Keep up the good work guys!
Focusing on his clean tone? He is world renowned for his creamy tone. A big muff which he uses is what you needed. David Gilmore is no one trick pony. You should have included the muff.
+2A yup Binson Echorec up until 1977 and from then on Digital Delay, first Boss pedals and nowadays I think he has a Providence on the recent tour. Might be multiple pedals for the Delay though.
+Michael Garcia Nobody can bend a string like David Gilmour. I swear, he is the only guitar player you can identify from just one note. And I can bend strings pretty well, anyone can, but David Gilmour really makes them sing. Also he does not waste a single note in his solos. They are stories in and of themselves.
I don't think there is anything more satisfying than finding the exact tone from the album and playing along. That "Shine on..." sound is absolutely spot on. Great job guys.
so does anyone have any suggestions for a cheaper amp than that, that fits blues rock as well as normal blues and ofc pink floyd stuff? I got an orange crush and its all i have right now it doesnt even take pedals and i want to record and stuff.. any help would be greatly appreciated
@sbjkd Because those 19 year old kids probably have parents that spoil them rotten. Doesn't mean that they'll play any better though. Usually those who had everything handed to them have all the stuff given to them, but not possessing the "right stuff".
Recommendations for spinoff series: 1. Start with a reasonable Strat and LP, add a DSL40C and use that as a basis. Then add pedals in each episode to emulate a particular guitarist. 2. Have regular installment episodes for the most popular guitarists, selecting a few songs (or album/era) per episode. I'm sure the most popular bands (Zep, Floyd, etc.) would keep you busy (and viewers engaged) for years. 3. Don't change a thing. I'd keep watching. lol I'm a big fan. Thanks for doing this, Matt and Bea!!! 🤘🏻🎸
The four notes that you play at the end of the video sounds darn good to me . I am just starting to learn but I have been a fan of Floyd Since 1979. So keep doing these videos.
I feel like you're purposely being dense as fuck. Sure, David Gilmour will always sound like David Gilmour no matter what he does, because he is David Gilmour. That's a basic Philosophy. But what does it really mean to sound like someone else? Gilmour wants and prefers to sound a certain way. The signature sound of someone is the sound of what that person prefers. If Gilmour were to use a specific chorus and delay most of the time, that would relay into his signature sound. Thus, when they say "sound like Gimour" what they really mean is "the sound in which Gilmour prefers: his signature tone." It's rather colloquial.
Well it would be less amazing without the ton of gears involved. I agree about the finger thing but for several songs, especially cleaner ones, you can't deny the importance of effects.
Shawn Bloe David could use any chorus or delay pedal and he would still sound awesome. But your typical noob could play Gilmour's studio rig set up and still not sound anything like David, because David's sound is not in his gear. It's in him.
1971SuperLead I see this argument so often it's ridiculous. If it's all in the fingers, why the hell is there ANY consideration for gear? It is NOT all in the fingers.
What a fantastic idea for a video series! As players we all want to be able to replicate our favorite songs/tones, but some of us wouldn't necessarily know how to do it. Great idea and great video guys, I look forward to seeing more.
Most of Wish You Were Here were written and rehearsed during the Dark Side of the Moon tour in 1974-75. Released in September Pink Floyd never toured to promote the album until the Animals tour in 1977 when it was performed in its entirety. For the recording sessions David used more or less the same rig he’d been touring with on the Dark Side tour. His playing and tone on the album is subtle and much more blues oriented than his earlier work. Effects used on recording sessions Dallas Arbiter Fuzz Face (BC108) Colorsound Power Boost MXR Phase 90 Binson Echorec II The list above is only the effects that are heard on the album. It’s not documented whether David used his 1973-75 pedal board for the sessions or single pedals.

If you watch Gilmour play that iconic four note progression live you will note that he doesn't use phase but gets the modulation by using his trem arm after playing the notes, it's quite distinctive and I do this with my strat.
Great job ... you just nailed it spot on! Watching the video i guessed you would pick a SuperChamp ... yeah ... not as stage worthy but great cleans on a budget and very usable reverb and delay ... but this HotRod is a powerhouse anyway. And the Phase90 just fits perfect! Nice!
Those tones makes a person want to start writing and recording music. I have been playing for years and always was willing to share creative input but never recorded anything but some phone videos that are garbage. Those four notes split me down the middle! Great job on this one!!!!!!
I really enjoy watching you guys work out tones and shredding .. I did work at fender in Corona ca. it was a sweat shop.. They treat you like you are in Mexico.. I don't miss working there.. I did get 2 guitars more than half off. that was the only bonus..
That's a very nice tone but i guess the budget is not restrictive enough for the challenge to be fun. Ending up with a Standard Strat, Hot Rod Deluxe and a couple of well known pedals... honnestly, what's the point ? Maybe you should lower the budget and dare to pick up real alternative low-budget gear.
they do it like his because this is a cheap budget for performing musicians, which means that they can be at that 1500 pounds mark. But they should have a series for stay at home players who just like doing covers with a budget of around 900
+chiripas12345 exact, Gilmour uses those cornish pedals That top 500$ easily, the phase 90 script is 180$ a good delay can reach easily 400$, a EHX muff is not free, a Tube driver is expensive, not talking of an Hiwatt head (3000$) and a good rotary...
Yup. For the gigging musician, you need a certain level of gear and that's gonna cost you. If you're just playing around in your bedroom, you don't need so much gear. Especially if you can't afford it. Just pickup a Squier Classic Vibe Strat, Champion 40 amp, and a phaser pedal for 600.
Don’t forget Anderton’s wants people to come in and plop down £1400 for their gear. You could get all this and more on your phone or pc with bias/JamUp pro for under $50 and use the rest for a Strat and a speaker.
they did it but unfortunately no Steve Harris rig, but the rig was Fender HSH strat (cos they couldn't afford the £815 dave murray signature), Marshall DSL40C (cos the victory V100 is way too much) Cry Baby Wah Mini and MXR Analogue Chorus Jackson SDX Adrian Smith Signature (i found this slightly unfair cos they could get the Adrian Smith Signature but not the dave murray), Marshall DSL40C and i think that was it they should definately redo it with no budget
I compared the tones side by side, and yes, it's so close that, unless you had the original at your disposal at the time, you'd say wow, they nailed that tone!! Very well done Gents!
ENGL has a Blackmore signature model amplifier that nails the 'Blackmore sound'. 100 Watt Marshalls is what he used for many years. The secret to his pinchy fat tone however is an ancient Aiwa reel-to-reel tape recorder set on record/pause that he uses as a pre-amp boost. His volume knob on his Stratocasters has also been modified www.premierguitar.com/articles/23245-mod-garage-ritchie-blackmore-stratocaster-mods . Here is the best compendium of his gear and approximating it. If its not on this page it is not anywhere. www.treblebooster.net/blackmore.html
Ritchie was using modified (by Jim Marshall himself) 200 watt Marshall Majors. Super loud, tonally different from your standard 100 watter, and had tendencies to catch fire.
this is by far one of the best of this series. very very close to gilmour's clean tone. sounds identical to shine on you crazy diamond intro. well done, son.
Gilmour's my favourite player and these are the sorts of tones I'd normally play with and I think they've done a brilliant job. Lovely warm, clean tone they managed to get for a pretty good price too. Fantastic.
this actually sounds like gilmour! The sad part is: this is only ONE of his many great tones...probably need a hole lot of gear to dial in all of gilmour's tones
+Loferix gaming its actually really simple. There's a rig rundown here on TH-cam. its his special guitar, played with a penny --> treble booster --> Vox.
rezner101 Bare in mind that was buying all new. I dare say you wouldn't have to wait too long on ebay to get all that stuff at half price for second hand.
+chrisofnottingham yeah, I just sold my hotrod deluxe for £300. Nice amp for clean stuff, but didn't have the balls for what I'm doing at the moment. Got a marshall bluesbreaker now and that thing has an awesome tone.
+rezner101 maybe get a blues junior instead? if they put everything in front and do a clean sound anyway, the blues junior might work just as well and it's a bit cheaper.
+YohAquino2 strat/budget Explorer, AC10, and delay pedal with preset capability. You also need good overdrive like TS9. other than that, you don't need that much.
***** i've got a script phase 90 and a bunch of other stuff in my fx loop (chorus/delay/boost etc) with nothing clever by way of level control, is there a way to fudge the level for just the phaser that you know of?
Nice job guys. Just goes to show no matter how large your rig is you never want more then a few pedals active at any one time. Try running it in parallel with a leslie pedal. I use a Yamaha RA 100 but don't expect anyone else to go that far. The combo of the phase 90 and the leslie is what makes that arpeggio swirl.
Thought the tones you got on this video were closer to Gilmour's sound than on the Sound Like Dave Gilmour - BY Busting The Bank video. "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" intro sounds so close to the original recording that it is just ridiculous!!! Great job guys!!
MrMyKamilsz If not on a budget you can just get a an EVH strat and EVH signature pedals. If on a budget you can get a squire strat and a bunch of EVH sig pedals
Yes, that sounds just like Gilmour! Very nice. It's a damn good video, just what I was looking for. Now, I want all the equipment in that room, please.
Thanks for the skivey on that MXR dynacomp 'dynamic bubble' secret. I think he used 2 for stereo in the 80's and XLR out w/ an out-of phase pick-up Strat configuration. Now it's back to mono unbalanced outs like in the 70's, I believe. Cheers from Miami. Nice job
Haven't seen any of this series before. What a really good idea and so helpful tothose of us trying to improve our tone. I shall now have to come to the shop andbuy stuff!! Al
Hey thanks guys, I'm off to buy me those little pedals, I didn't really know what I could do with them until I saw your video. Nice tip on the delay, I would have put it in my effects loop but I'm keen to try one in line now too like you did. Rock on.
Who is here in the vain hopes of hearing the Solos from Time, both solos from Numb, Another Brick part 2, Turning away? Everyone. Who is here to hear Shine? Nobody.
Gilmour's tone is pure ... there is no words really... it just is a sound that is unmistakable and everything great. I can listen to it forever, and it will never ever sound bad, or get old.

@CammojoDragon97 HI, I'm here 7 years into the future...lol Did you get your rig?
Why no fuzz? The solos on time and echoes are the best lead tones!

They should have focused on his searing lead tone, since that's what he's known for and nobody can seem to duplicate it.

Big muff by electro harmonics with delay and a little amp reverb gets you close.
I don't think there is anything more satisfying than finding the exact tone from the album and playing along. That "Shine on..." sound is absolutely spot on. Great job guys.
Your version of "on a budget" differs from mine, sadly.
agreed, still expensive, but worth it I think once I can afford the amp or a good reverb pedal.
so does anyone have any suggestions for a cheaper amp than that, that fits blues rock as well as normal blues and ofc pink floyd stuff? I got an orange crush and its all i have right now it doesnt even take pedals and i want to record and stuff.. any help would be greatly appreciated

It's all in the fingers. And fingers are free. But a Strat sure helps.

Love these shows. And while not quite as mainstream or popular, but I'd love to see a Sound Like episode on Daniel Lanois or Robert Fripp.
I know this is 6 years late, but I’m learning guitar purely because of Pink Floyd and King Crimson. So, a Robert Fripp video would be amazing

I agree 100%
they do it like his because this is a cheap budget for performing musicians, which means that they can be at that 1500 pounds mark.
But they should have a series for stay at home players who just like doing covers with a budget of around 900
+chiripas12345 exact, Gilmour uses those cornish pedals That top 500$ easily, the phase 90 script is 180$ a good delay can reach easily 400$, a EHX muff is not free, a Tube driver is expensive, not talking of an Hiwatt head (3000$) and a good rotary...
Yup. For the gigging musician, you need a certain level of gear and that's gonna cost you.
If you're just playing around in your bedroom, you don't need so much gear. Especially if you can't afford it. Just pickup a Squier Classic Vibe Strat, Champion 40 amp, and a phaser pedal for 600.
Don’t forget Anderton’s wants people to come in and plop down £1400 for their gear. You could get all this and more on your phone or pc with bias/JamUp pro for under $50 and use the rest for a Strat and a speaker.
Brilliant. Really happy you guys have done this after asking for suggestions on FB. Great job!
Sounds like Iron Maiden
And bring in Dave to do bass
Yes!!!
+ToxicLIL How to sound like Justin Chancellor without buying a $5k Wal bass?
they did it but unfortunately no Steve Harris rig, but the rig was
Fender HSH strat (cos they couldn't afford the £815 dave murray signature), Marshall DSL40C (cos the victory V100 is way too much) Cry Baby Wah Mini and MXR Analogue Chorus
Jackson SDX Adrian Smith Signature (i found this slightly unfair cos they could get the Adrian Smith Signature but not the dave murray), Marshall DSL40C and i think that was it
they should definately redo it with no budget
Luc yep
I compared the tones side by side, and yes, it's so close that, unless you had the original at your disposal at the time, you'd say wow, they nailed that tone!! Very well done Gents!
Pleeaaseee do Ritchie Blackmore!!!!!!!!
strat, marshall, distortion, nothing more.
I'd love to see the sort of tones he used in Gates of Babylon and Rainbow Eyes, not to mention Child in Time.
ENGL has a Blackmore signature model amplifier that nails the 'Blackmore sound'. 100 Watt Marshalls is what he used for many years. The secret to his pinchy fat tone however is an ancient Aiwa reel-to-reel tape recorder set on record/pause that he uses as a pre-amp boost. His volume knob on his Stratocasters has also been modified www.premierguitar.com/articles/23245-mod-garage-ritchie-blackmore-stratocaster-mods . Here is the best compendium of his gear and approximating it. If its not on this page it is not anywhere. www.treblebooster.net/blackmore.html
Ritchie was using modified (by Jim Marshall himself) 200 watt Marshall Majors. Super loud, tonally different from your standard 100 watter, and had tendencies to catch fire.
this is by far one of the best of this series. very very close to gilmour's clean tone. sounds identical to shine on you crazy diamond intro. well done, son.
Ethereal is a great word, when pronounced correctly..
Our bad! We'll brush up on our grammar before Series 2 ;-)
Gilmour's my favourite player and these are the sorts of tones I'd normally play with and I think they've done a brilliant job.
Lovely warm, clean tone they managed to get for a pretty good price too. Fantastic.
this actually sounds like gilmour! The sad part is: this is only ONE of his many great tones...probably need a hole lot of gear to dial in all of gilmour's tones
Aww! Was hoping for a wee bit of comfortably numb!
But that sound is just brilliant. Those four notes just take you to another place man.
I'd like to suggest "Sound Like Clapton' and 'Sound Like The Edge'. Great series guys!
You guys did great on this one. You nailed that opening line to Shine On. Thats for sure.
do Brian May of Queen
Brian May guitar strait into an ac30
+B Thomas yeah but I've seen people do that and they still don't get the sound
Treble boost as well, I think
Brian May is probably the most difficult one. He has an extremely complex set up. It's impossible to do it in a budget.
+Loferix gaming its actually really simple. There's a rig rundown here on TH-cam. its his special guitar, played with a penny --> treble booster --> Vox.
duuuuuuuuuude. The first of your videos I've seen but those 4 notes gave me the chills. had to go listen Shine on immediately
Great sounds, but that would not only break my bank it would quite possibly get me a divorce.
rezner101 Bare in mind that was buying all new. I dare say you wouldn't have to wait too long on ebay to get all that stuff at half price for second hand.
+chrisofnottingham yeah, I just sold my hotrod deluxe for £300. Nice amp for clean stuff, but didn't have the balls for what I'm doing at the moment. Got a marshall bluesbreaker now and that thing has an awesome tone.
+rezner101 maybe get a blues junior instead? if they put everything in front and do a clean sound anyway, the blues junior might work just as well and it's a bit cheaper.
Very Nice! You've dialed it in.I've dialed in a tone for the solo in TIME and boy does it make it fun to play! Great job guys!!!
Kinda disappointed you didnt do any of his solo tones. A big muff or a fuzz face in there would have been sick.
Brilliant! Funny and knowledgeable! Luv it!
How far apart is the warehouse and the store?
Very cool. Thank you for this video and I hope you have more "Sound like" video's of others!
Regards from the US.
I'm sorry but just the spring reverb of the hot rod doesn't do it at all, you really need a seperate pedal for Gilmour's spacy verbs imo.
Well done lads....thank you so much,,,,,love Gilmor and love the Floyd,,from way back when,,,,
"affordable" "on a budget" your definition and my definition differs, like a lot! I could afford that if i have 3 jobs, and no family. lol
el van lorenzo these kind of comments are killing me! :D
Great video guys!
Sound Like The Edge Without Busting The Bank
Strat, AC15 and 10 delay pedals
+YohAquino2 strat/budget Explorer, AC10, and delay pedal with preset capability. You also need good overdrive like TS9. other than that, you don't need that much.
I know this is an old video, but I have tried the other TH-cam videos on this tone and this makes the most sense.
I wish the phase 90 had a level control.
***** i've got a script phase 90 and a bunch of other stuff in my fx loop (chorus/delay/boost etc) with nothing clever by way of level control, is there a way to fudge the level for just the phaser that you know of?
***** No fx loop, blues jr etc
No. Everything in front.
Tom Park Mine has. It's an easy mod.
Nice job guys. Just goes to show no matter how large your rig is you never want more then a few pedals active at any one time. Try running it in parallel with a leslie pedal. I use a Yamaha RA 100 but don't expect anyone else to go that far. The combo of the phase 90 and the leslie is what makes that arpeggio swirl.
Really can't sound like Gilmour without having a good sounding fuzz pedal..
Yeah I agree
yeah like they wouldn't be able to finish the song without it
+Swishy Muquos-milk yeah they could finish the song with a fucking banjo too ..what's your point !? it's called SOUNDS like.
Ma'am I'm feeling attacked from your hostility.
And a banjo would just mess it up more whats YOUR point, boi
+Joshua Martins Would a Big Muff Pi work? I'm likely picking one up in the next few days.
sounds fantastic! you nailed the Gilmour tone and sound! Thanks for the help!
And next Jack White :D
Paflig low output humbucker, big muff and a digitech whammy into a fender hot rod.
Paflig please, would be awesome
I was just about to write that they should do Jack White!
+JoeyRockerTV don't forget an old dilapidated organ to play the icky thump solos
Meat Helicopter 😂😂😂😂
HOW COULD ANYBODY NOT LIKE THAT SOUND. THANKS. BEAUTIFUL....
Can you do sound like Mattias Jabs?
I was hoping for more tones but i gotta admit the singular one you did attempt, you nailed
Sound Like Eric Johnson?
Thought the tones you got on this video were closer to Gilmour's sound than on the Sound Like Dave Gilmour - BY Busting The Bank video. "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" intro sounds so close to the original recording that it is just ridiculous!!! Great job guys!!
Sounds like Billy Corgan would be good lads.
best one really nailed it not only the tone but the video
Please do a Sounds Like Stevie Ray Vaughan. You did John Mayer so how can you not do the legend?
WOW 9 years later I find this video and agree your sound is So close to Dave Gilmour's wow, awesome playing too lads
You're a really good guitar player.
That Gilmour sound is spot on! Great job.
Sound like EVH
MrMyKamilsz If not on a budget you can just get a an EVH strat and EVH signature pedals.
If on a budget you can get a squire strat and a bunch of EVH sig pedals
We NEED a sound like EVH! Everyone knows how to vaguely get it, but no one I've seen has NAILED it, so I'd love to see what they do!
MrMyKamilsz Wampler Pinnacle + guitar with hot humbucker
I know but I want a video from them ;)
+budgetguitarist.com yep!!! Love my pinnacle. Big rock pro too. That's a killer pedal
Yes, that sounds just like Gilmour! Very nice. It's a damn good video, just what I was looking for. Now, I want all the equipment in that room, please.
what about a fuzz face?
Reuben Kaufman Seriously, how's it a Gilmour video without fuzz?
IKR
+Reuben Kaufman They could've gone with a blues jr which would save $100 and bought a fuzz face. IMO that would've covered everythign
+Reuben Kaufman gilmour used a big muff mate
+Flynn Hendry He also used a Fuzz Face prior to Animals.
This is the best video there is on this channel
As far as amplification, doesn't he use Hiwatts...?
+Johnny “Braveheart” Murdock He does, but they are out of their budget
Karl-Henrik Arendt
True....
+Johnny “Braveheart” Murdock He used a Gallien Krueger and a Fender on Momentary Lapse of Reason.
They were goin for an affordable rig,Hi Watt way out of range compared to the Fender.Anyhoo cant deny Beah nailed the tone.
+Johnny “Braveheart” Murdock yes, at least he did. Pompeii-ish days
That black strat on the back in the beginning of the video. Oohh thats so awesome
A sound like radiohead would be awesome
That would make an excellent rig for anyone! That Strat is just beautiful!
Do sound like Ritchie Blackmore!
Awesome tutorial! Greatings from Brazil!
Do Jimmy Page next. I'd love to see what you guys can come up with.
Have they done it yet
You'd have to change it for almost every album, he heavily customized his guitars all the time as an ongoing thing.
Thanks for the skivey on that MXR dynacomp 'dynamic bubble' secret. I think he used 2 for stereo in the 80's and XLR out w/ an out-of phase pick-up Strat configuration. Now it's back to mono unbalanced outs like in the 70's, I believe. Cheers from Miami. Nice job
Sound like Dimebag Darrell please
Haven't seen any of this series before. What a really good idea and so helpful tothose of us trying to improve our tone. I shall now have to come to the shop andbuy stuff!! Al
Sounds good. How about a how to sound like slide like George Harrison? Especially "Greece", and "Marwa Blues"?
how about "sound like turd splash"
Hey thanks guys, I'm off to buy me those little pedals, I didn't really know what I could do with them until I saw your video. Nice tip on the delay, I would have put it in my effects loop but I'm keen to try one in line now too like you did. Rock on.
Who is here in the vain hopes of hearing the Solos from Time, both solos from Numb, Another Brick part 2, Turning away? Everyone.
Who is here to hear Shine? Nobody.
great demo of Dave's sound. thank you
Sound like Eric Johnson without busting the bank.
Gilmour is one of my favourite players and for the budget you absolutely nailed it! Sounds amazing - good work (tasty playing too). Cheers,
strat with a maple neck
emg dg20
blues jr
boss me80
simple as
Its so complicate, if ypu dont want to spend a lot Of Money, your list Is right
"I could listen to that all day" - me too mate. Nailed it Rabea, nicely done.
Should have gotten a fender blues Jr III to save money
Great concept of demos. I think that these "Sounds like" demos reache a larger scale of people, instead of just us "gearheads"!!! :) Bravo!
adam jones 10000 days album
Thanks Rabea really love hearing you play the slow clean stuff. Fantastic. Massive Gilmour fan too.
