On An Island

"On An Island" is the title track from David Gilmour's third solo studio album, released on 6 March 2006, his 60th birthday. It marked his return to solo work after 22 years, showcasing his signature melodic guitar style in a reflective, atmospheric setting. For electric guitar players, the track is a study in expressive, unhurried phrasing and tonal warmth that defines Gilmour's approach.

  • The album was Gilmour's first solo release since About Face in 1984, a 22-year gap between solo records.
  • At over six and a half minutes long, the track gives guitarists room to study extended melodic development and sustained phrasing.
  • The album came nearly 12 years after Pink Floyd's The Division Bell, making it a significant moment in Gilmour's solo career.
Fender Stratocaster

Fender Stratocaster

The most iconic electric guitar ever made. Its three single-coil pickups, contoured body and versatile tone make it the go-to for blues, rock, funk and everything in between. Players from Hendrix to Gilmour to Clapton built their sound on it.

Fender Twin Reverb

Fender Twin Reverb

The gold standard for clean tone. The Twin Reverb's 85 watts of headroom, brilliant spring reverb and crystal-clear sound make it the preferred amp for country, blues and clean rock. It stays clean louder than almost anything else.

Fender Deluxe Reverb
Amp

Fender Deluxe Reverb

Twenty-two watts of pure Fender magic. Unlike the Twin, the Deluxe Reverb breaks up beautifully at manageable volumes, giving players the best of clean sparkle and natural tube grit in a giggable package.
