Thanks so much to the creator of this - I must have spent hundreds of hours watching and going back over it bit by bit; I may never be able to play it like he does, but I'm constantly improving.

It's *really* appreciated - that feeling of accomplishment when I finally get a phrase locked in is wonderful.

One Hell of a Tutorial, at 61 and 3 years in from my first note can now have a real go at smashing my favourite solo...many many thanks to a bloody awesome player!

[matthewpierce]

Thank you for this. I just got a new Strat player plus tequila sunrise its a beautiful guitar and been playing this . I cant get sick of Pink Floyd .playing is so emotional and i can feel it in every cell of my body. its its hard to see when my eyes get watery and I practice a lot to make it as perfect as i can. your lesson was so good Thanks again GILMOUR

[janekivanski]

This is a Masterclass lesson, a definitive version of this Solo, it is appreciated that this is as detailed and accurate as the original. Thankyou, and every good wish for your new family addition!!

[johnnykaszubski]

Thank you very much. There are many lessons for those songs on YouTube, but this is one is definitely the best. Also thank you for showing the chords that are in the background and explaining every detail of the solo

[BluesRootsMusic]

this is the best ive heard this played by any online teacher

[anilgonsalves]

You are easily the best guitar teacher in the Tube and a great blessing to so many of us amature guitarists, wanting to improve our playing. Thanks

[Baker]

learned this from you about a year ago! After i learned it, i never really came back. Recently broke the tabs out to tease out what I have been missing... Then checking your video out a few weeks later reminds me of how not easy this solo is when you add in all the feeling haha! Glad this is still going on youtube!

[wayneknazek]

There are dozens of tutorials for CN on line. Dozens. And all but a few are pretty darned good! A few literally suck canal water! LOL But out of those dozens, about 4 or 5 stand out as being very good. Yours is head and shoulders above most of them, and elbow to elbow with the top few! Both Technique wise, and Artistically, your's shines above them all! Thanks!

[rolandgirard]

hello i'm french and i don't speak and learn english but thank you, i understand your lesson " a l'oreille" ( en francais dans le texte) thank's very much, it's clear

[dekelittle]

This is an EXCELLENT tutorial video. I've been playing many years and this is very accurate. Great Job.

[tgdkls]

This is excellent, thank you. I tried to learn this second solo a few years ago using my ear and a couple of other YouTube lessons, and gave up halfway through. Got it now, thanks to your two vids - somehow the way you've done it just seems clearer to me. A Gilmour masterpiece really well broken down.

[anthonyangelis]

I finally discovered this lesson. Awesome awesome. Right off the bat you mention and do the pinch harmonic and the preceding D chord -which most lessons don’t even bother with. So I think I’m going to be here for a while…. Thank you for this extraordinary in-depth lesson… and taking the time to break down each phrase carefully, so even a beginner can access it. A lot of lessons go through it so fast and don’t call out every fret, that it’s impossible for me to follow👍👍❤️❤️🎸🎸

Damn Rob! The first video of yours I watched was "The Lead Guitar Concept that Forever Changed My Playing!". That really got me motivated. I practiced it over and over and just from that point on my playing has greatly improved. I'm going to subscribe to your "Premium Sustainer" program tomorrow when I get my check.
You really break it down. It's giving me all new licks and riffs to change my old boring way of playing. I've been playing the same crap for 50 years without getting better. I always downpicked, which is like wearing handcuffs.
By God... I'm going to play well before I die. You've got me on my way. Thanks Brother...

[jeffrobodeenyehcmon]

Best well taught 👌 solo of this song I've found. Perfect.

[lawofaverages]

Awesome. I just couldn't separate the licks in order as they are all similar I kept mixing them up but you broke it down in a way that was easier to hear and follow. Much appreciated.

[rcweber]

Brilliant lesson. You have the patience of Job to deconstruct Gilmour's solos so exactly, but they are definitely worth it.

[krazykyle]

This was amazing, thank you so much for sharing. It’s my fav solo of all time :)

[budandbean]

Hi Rob, this is so outstanding and really wonderful that you are doing a great song like this. You are really THE consummate guitar instructor and I want to thank you so much for this super material. Can't wait for Number 2. Buddy
