<P> The second half of the song is an instrumental classical guitar solo . Interestingly , it is not widely known who played it : In several interviews , David Gilmour has said that he tried to perform it , and was not satisfied with the final result ( `` I could play it with a leather pick but could n't play it properly fingerstyle '' ) . Accordingly , session musician Joe DiBlasi was brought in by Michael Kamen to play with the rest of the orchestra . He was ultimately wrongly credited as `` Ron DiBlasi '' on the album sleeve because Roger Waters only remembered that it was a three - letter name ; Ron was the closest name he could remember to Joe when creating the record . </P>
