Dear visitor,
Music can be written down, with notes for example. It is the task of a musician to bring those notes alive, give them colour, flavour, feeling and meaning.
I am merely an amateur bedroom guitarist in a constant attempt to do so.
Take a brake from life and enjoy my covers, as well as some of my own content.
Feel free to leave a comment or some (constructive) critique.
Kind regards,
Santosh
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is thanks to my dad that I started playing the guitar. It is my dad who introduced me to Pink Floyd, Dire Straits, Bruce Springsteen and many more of those artists who produced some fine music.
Thanks dad, love you. (Mama, ik zie ik u ook graag, zelle.. xx)

A Touch of Electric: Original - Santosh Kuppens
I had this jam/composition/improvisation sitting somewhere on a hard drive, and decided to combine in with pictures I took on a walk tonight.
The acoustic part is played on a semi-acoustic Epiphone EJ-200CE, where I improvised some Floyd-esque dreamy melody/solo track on top.
Enjoy!

In Any Tongue: Studio Solo - David Gilmour by Santosh Kuppens
Переглядів 3,8 тис.2 роки тому
Yet another @davidgilmour cover! Taken from the album 'Rattle That Lock', I've decided to do this cover of 'In Any Tongue', trying to get as close as possible to the studio version of this solo. A seemingly simple solo, but harder than it actually sounds. There are a lot of subtle details and I am not 100% sure about the fingering in this case. The sound is now coming from my Line 6 Pod GO wher...

Yet another @pinkfloyd cover! Taken from the album 'A Momentary Lapse of Reason', I've decided to do this cover of 'On the Turning Away', now getting as close as possible to the beautiful studio version of this solo. It's a tough one, many details with that whammy bar.. For me, guitar-wise, the late 80s, early 90s are the pinnacle of @davidgilmour 's guitar skills, combining melody and techniqu...

This is most definitely one of the more difficult solos in David Gilmour's repertoire. The amount of details keep surprising me and every listen make me discover new stuff, whether it is a whammy bend or some subtle vibrato. Sound: a modified Logic Pro X preset.

My tribute to Prince Rogers Nelson, who died 5 years ago on this date. Rest in peace, you musical wonder! The song itself needs no introduction. I have written my own solo over this. Jamming over tracks I know and like has always been one of my favourite pastimes. It's not only fun, but it also develops my musicality and sense for melody. Over several improvisation sessions in my bedroom, I gat...

'Sultans of Swing' is a classic rock song that I've always liked very much. The upbeat tempo, the juicy fills and the amazing solo. I have decided to pay my tribute to this song, by writing my own solo over the solo section. I hope you guys like it!

A while ago I encountered this track named 'Guitar Backing Track Sad Emotional Ballad B minor' (ua-cam.com/video/b6Ebc9uqNKY/v-deo.html), made by Nick Neblo. It was quite late, played through my computer and jammed on it for a few hours. That became the basis of what is now contained in the video. I really hope you enjoy it.

EDIT: I don't have tabs for this solo. Learned by ear! :-) What better way to introduce my latest addition to my collection of guitars than a Pink Floyd cover?!

Honeymoon: Solo Improvisation - Phoenix by Santosh Kuppens
Переглядів 2,7 тис.6 років тому
The first time I heard the song (thanks Óli!), I was astonished by the outro of the song. Ideally to write a solo over it, was my initial thought. Enjoy! I'm not using a plectrum here as some parts really needed that Knopfleresque feel to it. Sound, from my Peavey Classic 30, combined with a MXR delay pedal through an audio device (Roland UA-25EX) into Logic Pro X, edited with Final Cut Pro. Su...
Knockin' on Heaven's Door: Solo Improvisation - Guns N' Roses by Santosh Kuppens
Переглядів 7 тис.7 років тому
Now this song is a special song to me. One of the few I sang when performing with my former band live. The chords just ask for a melodic solo played on top. I combined some own licks with some improvisation and this is the result! Sound, from my Peavey Classic 30 through an audio device (Roland UA-25EX) into Logic Pro X, edited with Final Cut Pro.

(Finally) Something original, although the idea is a little older. 2 tracks, simple as that. A solo line soaring over the accompanying rhythm track. I hope you enjoy it! The clouds come from Final Cut Pro X. Also worth mentioning: I did not edit the sound in any way, just the way it came out of my Peavey.

Part of a live performance of Knocking on Heaven's Door with the coverband ('4-Fun', based in Hoboken, Antwerp, Belgium) I have the privilege to have played in as a lead-guitarist. Purely improvisation, so if you want to know my style on a simple chord scheme; this'd be it. :) Being a self-critic, I need more solidity in my lines (composition-wise), being more of a storyteller rather than a 'li...

Very very good job 👌🏼
Amazing!!!
FANTASTIC cover!! This is one of, if not his best solos ever! So much feeling and emotion! It fits the song and lyrics perfectly. Thanks for sharing, keep up the great work!
Beautiful nice tone and playing.
I keep coming back to this because its so satisfying and refreshing to hear after listing to the same solo over and over😂👌
VERY VERY GOOD SANTOSH EXCELLENT
Wow! That was damm good... absolutely superb!
Thank you for your nice words! :)
This is one of my favorite Mark Knopfler solos I just can't 2:23 stop watching this again and again.... Words can't describe how perfectly you have recreated the legend's classic solo... I've become your fan...
Intelligent phrasing! Such a controlled playing! We miss your playing these days..... Love to see your music n learn!!!!
Thank you very much for your nice words! I convince myself that the controlled playing is still in my fingers, but I really should put it to the test again..
Genuine improvisation! Good listening
Merci beaucoup!
Bravo!!! 👏👏👏👏👏
This song is my favourite and the original video to go along with it just perfect
Nailed the tone!
Hi Santosh, I just wanted to take a moment to let you know how much I appreciate your talent. Your Pink Floyd covers are absolutely amazing! You capture the essence of their music so beautifully. Keep up the fantastic work-I'm a huge fan! Best regards, raouf
Fantastic work. Thanks for posting ☺️
This 12 years old video is aging like a fine wine.
Yo Santosh, you still around? I hope so! You play amazing! Like I wanted my son to but he just gave up. Never give up! You got talent!
Hey! Thanks for your nice words - I am still around. Haven't gotten around to playing that much, but I don't think it's totally gone - the wish to play again.
you are a legend ! good job
Cheers!
Sir you are the greatest
I do have to correct you, but David Gilmour is the man! I'm merely a copycat.. :-)
AWESOME !!! Beatifull , Increíble, un cover perfecto. Congrats !!!
Thank you very much!
That first note hit in the higher registers... man, you nailed this. Perfectly demonstrating Gilmour's understanding of the guitar, and by extension, yours also. Applause.
Oh yes, he has a profound understanding of the instrument indeed. And thank you for your nice words! :-)
you play beautifully and you also play the best version (!) of this Solo. there are a lot of videos, but for some reason almost everyone plays the worst versions. It's a pity that there are no tabs, it would be a super space video WITH TABS ) thank you.
Thank you for your words - I don't have tabs, nor the motivation to tab it out. I suggest you slow this video down so you can write it down yourself, it's a good exercise as well! :-)
@@SantoshKuppens Yes, sure! I'd rather watch this video slowly (although I'm beiginner and it's quite difficult for me) than watch other videos with tabs but worse versions of this solo. and also you play so accurately that my ears enjoy it and it’s easier for them to catch the right notes.
@@Sazareli Thanks again for your nice words! I hope my rendition serves you well to learn it. Remember, great results don't come at once, and said you're a beginner it will take some time. The best advice I can give you is to remember to have fun with your playing, then things will come naturally over time. Best of luck, and have fun!
This is incredible thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
What pickups do you have in this strat? Sounds so good!
Just the stock pickups - don't know what they're called. :-) I agree, they sound good (enough) to me as well!
@@SantoshKuppens Thanks! Can you recommend any Fender Strat pickups to achieve the MK sound?
@@joeyjojo8200 I'm afraid my knowledge when it comes too pickups is too limited to provide you with a meaningful answer. My guitar is a Made in Mexico, with Standard Single Coils in them. For me, together with the right sound, they seem to produce the desired tone. Hope it helps!
@@SantoshKuppens Thanks, Santosh!
Lots of people say they can when they can't.. I was sceptacle, but, you rocked it mate, well done 👏.
Hehe thanks for your kind words, Mr. T30 :-)
A real talent👏👏👏👏
Well done
Thanks!
Anyone can play a David Gilmour solo... but you have his accent man. That was beautiful. So good!
Thanks a lot, I try!
Genuinely one of the best covers I’ve ever seen
I genuinely thank you for this comment, much appreciated!
Awesome!
Thanks!
There is no better studio Sorrow solo cover than this one!
I'm glad you think so!
Beautiful. 💝
Cheers!
HOT AF 🔥🥵
The cover, or me? ;-)
Both 🤭
@@natomczukguitar Hehe thanks - you've got some good covers yourself as well! Keep it up girl!
Thank you! 🫶🏼
@@natomczukguitar Still doing collabs?
strepitoso!
Grazie mille!
10 years to this cover - and I'm still listening! :) Great work @santosh!!
Hehe, thanks a lot man! It’s really nice to see people come back to my covers - must mean they’re somewhat great. Thanks again!
Very nice!
Thanks!
Any tips on making bends easier? Just started guitar so my fingers aren't hard yet.
Umm, support by using multiple fingers would be my main tip. Don't use just one finger, use at least two. In terms of pitch, practice and listen. When it's off, the two frequencies will soar and interfere with each other, sounding off. It should be the same frequency, so only constructive interference between your sound and what Gilmour plays. Hope it helps!
@@SantoshKuppens Thank you this helps a lot. I think I got it down where the tone is for half bend and full bend, the only problem is execution, so I suppose it will come with practice.
@@McSpicyYT Oh yes, practice until your fingers bleed.. More importantly, have fun! :-)
How do you do the super high bends? is it just tuning the strings down or is it just pure strength of fingers via practice?
Don't use strings too thick, finger strength and practice.
Do you have any trick for getting those pinch harmonics? Are they even pinch harmonics you're doing?
Practice until it sounds like it's supposed to.
Amazing!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Very nice David style!!!
Cheers.
Amazing guitar cover. My favorite Pink Floyd song.
Thank you very much!
great timing, great sound, really enjoyed it.
Thanks a lot!
Fantastic. How did you get this tone❤
Thanks. By fiddling around on the Pod GO until it sounded somewhat like the record.
Bravissimo
Cheers!
oh GOD please make him see my comment. "Please give me a tip I am a beginner I can play few songs I remembered the positions but don't know how any of these things work, What should I do? I barely know any scales but can play from the tabs I don't know how to connect anything. hope you understand what I asked for >...<"
Practice slow, focus on playing things right. Maybe play this video with 0.5x speed.
Fantastic work! You've successfully emphasized the importance of every note in this amazing solo.
Thanks!
👏👏👏
Topissimo 👏
se necesita mucho coraje para tocar los Pink Floyd ❤ B R A V O
A fantastic piece of music played brilliantly. Gilmour would be proud.
I would be honoured knowing he'd seen it and nodded approvingly. :-)
