Lockdown Lick 124

Lockdown Lick

Lockdown Licks no. 124. “The Final Cut” by Pink Floyd. Guitar solo, played on a Telecaster using neck pick up with NUX amp set to superlead with delay added. Originally played by Dave Gilmour on a Strat.

‘The Final Cut’ is a song from the album of the same name, the twelfth studio album by English rock band Pink Floyd, released on 21 March 1983 in the United Kingdom and on 2 April in the United States. The recording was plagued by conflict; guitarist David Gilmour felt many of the tracks were not worthy of inclusion, but Waters accused him of failing to contribute material himself. Gilmour certainly delivered with this solo in my view, a highlight on a clearly difficult album.
