Comfortably Numb Solo
Here's an excerpt from an internet collaboration where we covered Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb. My part was to provide the first solo. To try, and I repeat TRY, to approximate Gilmour's tone I used my Schecter PT (middle pickup split) and PodXT with a patch I found on customtone.com called, appropriately enough, Gilmour Lead.

Thanks, guys.
f1point7, to answer your question no. This cover was done a long while back on another forum. The outtro was actually performed by Chris Watson, of Black Rose fame. I was never happy with the backing track so I wouldn't mind redoing this cover again in the future. Perhaps you or some others from this forum might like a go at it?
If anyone cares to listen to the entire cover you can click here.
I should give credit to the other performers on this. On vocals is Bob Morrison and, as I already mentioned, playing lead on the outtro is Chris Watson. I found a midi backing and converted it then mixed and mastered everyone's parts in Cubase.

O, btw, why does your dancing bananna have a monkey wrench?

I actually got to meet Chris over the summer while I was on a business trip to the London office. He went out of his way to travel 3 hours by train to meet up with a friend and I and showed us a great time. Class guy. I can only imagine how well he must treat long time friends.

Since we're on the subject of the second Comfortably Numb solo, here's a link to a post I made a couple of months ago. It contains a link to a recording of that piece that I stumbled across at the Seymour Duncan forums. The playing is excellent, and the tone is just flat amazing, IMO:

Nice job, Stingx! It's fun to play over that song, isn't it?
Gotta love the Floyd of Pink.

Thanks, Robert. I have to tell you your clips on your website are very motivating. I think you and I share a similar quest for tone.

Thanks man, that is great to hear!
