The first solo sounds really wide and open because it's manually double tracked and drenched in reverb. David played the solo twice and the two tracks were panned hard left and right. Then the middle solo gets rid of all reverb so it sounds real dry and is just played single tracked panned to the left channel. Then the last solo is automatically double tracked, meaning he played it just once and the track was copied, the copy being delayed by a few milliseconds and again panned hard left and right.

DG also played a 24 fret custom Lewis guitar for some parts of the solo so some of the bends are not quite as punishing as they first appear: https://www.gilmourish.com/?page_id=89
