Notes

Studio recording, 1993-1994 (Division Bell sessions). Gilmour used his Black Strat with EMG DG20 pickups for most of The Division Bell, including 'Keep Talking'. Hiwatt DR103 was his main amp, with effects run into the front and via effects loop. Settings estimated from era and forum references. No live/tour gear included.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate skill due to the integration of talkbox technique, precise timing with delay, and sustaining notes with expressive dynamics, but does not involve advanced speed or complex chord voicings.
