Notes

Live performance, 2024, from 'Luck and Strange Concerts'. Gilmour used the Gibson ES-335 for a different tone on this tour and album, as confirmed by Guitar World. The Alessandro Redbone Special is cited as his main amp for this era. No evidence of the Black Strat or Hiwatt for this specific live solo. Effects are primarily from pedals and multi-effects units, not amp-based.

Difficulty

The solo requires advanced control of bends, vibrato, and sustain, as well as nuanced use of effects and dynamic phrasing, making it challenging for most players.
