Pink Floyd – Shine On You Crazy Diamond Part I-V
Cover of the Studio Version from “Wish You Were Here” Album
This song, sound and playing, is one of the reason why I absolutely wanted to play the electric guitar. The emotions I still feel when I play or listen to it, is still incredible. I covered the various solos paying tribute to Mr. David and trying to recreate the original feeling as much as possible.
I had some difficult to record the first solo in time, being the backing without the click … but I really love this backing, and that’s why I chose it anyway…. The studio version of this track have a unique clean but powerful sound! I enjoy a lot trying to recreate it, hoping to be successful in the result!!!

Grazie infinite Maurizio per la condivisione.
sei bravissimo!
Hi Maurizio,
I have the same deep feeling when I’m listening to that song or playing it. The tone of the very first solo is amazing, so emotional.
It’s really the clean guitar tone I’m haunted by, and looking for. Almost the same tone as the beginning of “Echoes”, and the construction of the two pieces are close.
On my Strat Plus with Lance Sensor Gold pick-ups, I use the blend of the neck and middle pick-ups. It helps my tone to be a bit more “aerial”, with a source more difficult to localize precisely. It works better on my Strat than the neck p.u. alone. With that blend, the tone I get is more “ethereal”, that’s suite better to what I hear in the original track.
There is something that kills me in the tone of the first solo that I don’t manage to get : it’s the little “wah” effect that I can hear in the 9th, 10th and 11th bar, when Gilmour bends from G to B flat. This very subtle “wah” during the bend…. I would give my soul to the devil to be able to get it.
Any idea ?
Best regards
Jim (from France)
hello
I would like to know if you use the tone pot of the guitar for the first solo or if you only use the equalizer to have the legendary “deaf ” tone
thanks a lot for your answer
good job for this video
Franck
I close the tone pot about 6/7 out of 10
Great job with the tones as well as the playing. Looking for the guitar profiles with the guitar on all the guitar parts for the second and third solos (also the backing guitar parts). Please let me know if they are available.
Just got my Kemper about 2 months ago and still working with it. Love it so far.
