Lockdown Lick 304

Lockdown Lick

Lockdown Licks no. 304. “Shine On You Crazy Diamond” part 6 by Pink Floyd.

David Gilmour style Lap steel riffs played on an HB Vintage Slider II lap steel guitar tuned E,B,D,F#,B,E low to high strings. Using a NUX M8 amp set to ‘superlead’ with some delay.

The song is from the 1975 album of the same name.

The tempo increases in part 6 and features powerful overdriven lap steel from Gilmour. Some feel the ‘wailing’ blues riffs are “crying” for Syd Barrett who had suffered a complete mental breakdown and left the band years earlier.
