So good, it almost looks fake, because it's too good. Well done.  :clap

The quality of this cover only makes me marvel at Gilmour's improvised version all the more.
It takes a virtuoso guitarist to approach what Gilmour did on the spot.

Absolutely, that's what my quote in signature is all about: “It was easy to be great. What was hard was to be good.” — Steve Martin

Meaning that you can copy David Gilmour's solo exactly, but the man himself can produce 10 solos like that night after night and actually make a living out of it. I think we often deeply underestimate just how great all the greats are.

When I think I can play the guitar, which happens from time to time, I just go on Youtube and watch real artists and I'm reminded there actually is a difference between playing the guitar and being a guitarist. Like Radiohead said in one of their songs : "Anyone can play the guitar".
