        Hello! Here’s a video I recorded almost 2 years ago, with the first solo on Pink Floyd’s Comfortably Numb.

        Now I’m planning to record it again and see how I have improved (hopefully!)

            yep! sounding great

            The melody of the notes is what expresses the art of music . 🙂 6stringerPete

            It really is all about ”melody”. The melody comes from a language from our heart. Our heart is the muscle in music harmony. The melody is the sweetness that it pumps into our musical thoughts on the fretboard. 🙂 6 stringer Pete

              that was nice! I was looking for a few pink floyd solos online tonight, i was practicing the three pig solos,, i need to get 8 gauge strings i might have 10s on maybe try 9s ..Gilmour bends are much bending,next set of strings on my strat are 9s maybe 8s

                Great solo, you’ve obviously been playing a long time to be that good, welcome to AM..

                    There are also custom David Gilmour string sets:

                    https://www.ghsstrings.com/products/11344-david-gilmour-signature

                    I tried them for some time and they’re nice but after I had my guitar set up by a guitar man I returned to .10

                    Thinner strings will certainly make bending easier but maybe you’ll be sacrificing tone? I mean less sustain and less warm sound probably…

                              Hi Jamie, that was awesome. I think it is a great idea to record you again and show how you improved. Can it get better than that, tho? 🙂
