If you could point to a Gilmour open-c Bron-yr-aur equivalent, I could be persuaded.

The most haunting guitar on The Wall is the acoustic at the start of Is Any Body Out There. Arpeggios of open chords written in standard tuning. Simple to play. and written by Waters.

Gilmour, whilst a better player, stuck primarily with standard tuning, with the occasional drop 1/2 step. Goodbye Blue Sky(on the wall) is his best acoustic work. Standard tuning and simple to play.

Page tunings(for the acoustic in particular) has driven amateur guitarist like me mad for years. He has stated thathe figured out the guitar tunings and he will never(unfortunately) divulge his secrets. The &#!@#*$. The majority of his 'special tuning' songs takes hours and hours to learn and almost take the fun out of learning them.
