Notes

Studio recording, 1975. Gilmour used his Black Strat with stock single-coils into a Fender Dual Showman Reverb for the solo. No evidence of EMG pickups or Hiwatt amp for this specific studio solo. Effects are primarily from pedals and amp reverb.

Difficulty

The solo requires expressive bending, slide phrasing, and dynamic control to match Gilmour's touch and sustain. While not technically fast, the phrasing and feel demand intermediate to advanced control.
