Notes

Live performance, 2016 (Live at Pompeii 2016 Remix). Gilmour's Black Strat was used for the solo section, running into a Hiwatt DR103 head and WEM/Fane Crescendo cabs. Effects include Binson Echorec-style delay, Fuzz Face, and compression. No evidence of amp-based reverb; all ambience is from effects and the venue.

Difficulty

The solo requires advanced slide technique, nuanced control of volume/tone knobs for expressive swells, and precise synchronization with delay repeats, making it challenging for most players.
