Here’s the first full lesson in my new “Solo Studies” KZfaq series, in which I transcribe and teach classic guitar solos.
I toured for many years with both Brit Floyd and The Australian Pink Floyd Show (TAPFS), so I thought I would start with some classic David Gilmour and teach you how to play the outro solo to the studio version of Comfortably Numb from The Wall album.
#PinkFloydGuitarLesson #ComfortablyNumbGuitarLesson #ComfortablyNumb
Incidentally, I'm left handed, but I horizontally flip my tuition videos in order to make them easier for most "normal" people to follow.
The guitar and pickups were hand-built by Dave Walsh at Eternal Guitars & Hot Rod Pickups in Chichester, UK.
I am also using a Kemper Profiler, Elixir Strings and Hawk Picks.
I hope you enjoy this lesson. There's much more to come very soon, so hit subscribe for regular content, including twice weekly lessons from my "Lickorama" series.
Cheers,
Bobby

I’ve been trying to learn this solo since buying the Steve Tarshis Gilmour tab book in 1986. I could never get near the 2nd solo. I have been watching this vid for a week now and have pretty much nailed it. So clear, so precise, beautiful phrasing and well broken down. I guess being locked in my room with Covid was a help too but thank you Bobby. Amazing!

When this guy played with Brit Floyd he does the best Comfortably Numb Solo Ive ever heard. Theres just a real smoothness to his playing. All the guys that play the Solo with Roger Waters look weak against this guy. How does he not have millions of views?
@andrewpowell3398 5 жыл бұрын
Great lesson Bobby, the most accurate and best explained version I have seen on YT. You are right when you say the high note after the funky chord bit was dropped in. In an interview, Dave Gilmour explained that he recorded a whole bunch of different versions of the solo on different tracks then went through and picked the best bits from each one to make the final solo by switching between the tracks. So, when it came to that high note, he would have whipped down one fader and another one up at that point.
@phalanger1 Жыл бұрын
Super helpful! Gilmours playing is so much about feel and timing that just having the tab/sheetmusic only gets you halfway there at best. This helps a lot in actually making it sound like Floyd. Thank!
@peterblyth5784 3 жыл бұрын
Thanks Bobby - I have waited years for such a lesson so thank you. As my memory is total bollocks I needed to write down the music / tab so I spent a very very long time watching and listening to your lesson bar by bar and succeeded in completing my goal using GuitarPro.Timing is tricky though getting everything right. Now I can play along with the Gilmourish backing track. I added sections from the Pulse version watching Brit Floyd and Aussie Floyd amongst others. I've just also completed Time and Money so great and much appreciated !!

Bobby,, this is amazing. Thank you for such a clear description. I'm in such admiration of your playing.. Gilmour is a special voice. He learned playing mainly through his own singing and i think this is a huge key.. Its been frustrating for me. I know the guitar neck through and through and a lot of theory and i can jam for hours soloing with intermingling chord progressions against my own backing tracks but as soon as I try to tackle a pre existing solo my mind becomes disabled. My brain simply isn't hardwired to carry a melody in my head that i can hum for hours (such as this solo) and translate it to my fingers. Also i find it easier to solo while following the logic of a chord progression. I can hammer out the chords of this song here in ten different positions on the neck with my own soloing bits BUT for the life of me can't carry the way he does it like you can. I think this has to do with genetics,, the same way some people can pick up a foreign language easier than others. the link between mind and tounge ect ect. Do you think it would make sense to teach the solo in how it works within the context of the chord progression? This weekend I'm going to put hours in on this! I'm really not into learning popular songs by others but this one here is such a part of me since being a teenager that I just need to nail it. This solo has been stuck in my head since 78 when my life changed when i first listened to this entire album in front of my speakers in a beanbag chair. thanks again.

Pretty much the most beautiful guitar solo of all time... well done and with a clear teaching tutorial by Bobby Harrison. What puts this tutorial above and beyond is Bobby's 'phrasing' or collecting the 'statements' made by the guitar as this solo goes along. Why this is important is that it differentiates between just playing the music and truly making the guitar 'talk.' By paying attention to that 'feeling' that Bobby also incorporates in this tutorial now we, who simply appreciate this music, can elevate our playing as Bobby has shared here. Thanks for a great tutorial of a great guitar solo Bobby.
