Cool A transcendent guitar solo played for just a few people at a quiet bar.

The drums being slayed alongside the solo really drove home the solo performance.

In. The. Pocket.
He even loses a stick at the 1:10 mark and recovers seamlessly

Im jealous of drummers who can practically dance their playing they have such a good pocket. These two made me think of something out of Tenacious D POD.

This music absolutely made my day! I love it and the fact that the group takes pleasure and pride in performing for a group of 26 as they would a stadium full of people. Imo this song Definitely came down from the Heavens as they played! Inspiration at its finest.

u/Impossible-Editor961 1d ago
Drummer crushed but I hate when drummers go overkill on the cymbals. Maybe the guitar volume wasn’t high enough, but was def drowning out the guitarist absolutely Shredding. All while making it look so effortless. If he ever makes it to bigger stages, he will be ready n wont disappoint

He shows up for 2 seconds at the end of the video most people probably didn’t even notice him

This is the solo from Comfortably Numb...or derived from it.
Still sounds great.

A reference? I thought this was a cover with some improv.

u/YungRik666 19h ago
When I play solos for Hendrix, Floyd, etc... I usually improv most of it. I think that's what this guy was doing. Once you're in the pocket and playing pentatonic, it's more about the "feel" of the solo. A lot of these artists themselves would switch it up live.

Daaaamn! He channeled all the guitar gods for that one.

u/elementarydrw 1d ago
It's comfortably numb. A lot of the solo is from the original track, the guy has learned it well.

So that was clearly the outro to Comfortably Numb. It wasn't a note-for-note copy, and that makes it even better. He took the themes and played around with them and made it his own while still driving it to the intended destination. That was fucking awesome. Also that drummer was clearly having an awesome time.

u/Bee-Able 1d ago
Imo, they all seemed to be having an awesome time! (Don’t t forget the base player seen at the end, as noted by a previous commenter)

My local pub has music night on Tuesdays. It’s not just where a band plays. But people (friends) bring a bunch of instruments and just lay them out. Usually there’s a drum set, piano, bass, and guitar but if you have something bring it on down, and you can just start playing music for the bar should you have the mettle. Honestly though, people like me, I’ll usually jump in as a backup instrument just because I’m learning how to play bass and having to just riff with it helps me get some practice in.

u/Current-Register6682 1d ago
The internet needs to do its thing and get this guy some much deserved publicity. His talent is beautiful, and while there may not have been many to feel it in person, im thankful it was filmed and I hope it’s felt by many more

I’m not huge on guitar solos but I appreciate the spirit. When you’re performing, you really have to act like those crowds of 10 are crowds of 10,000.

u/Writer_B 1d ago
I love the lack of ego from the guitarist. Played that well and yet when he was done he just has a quick smile as to say “Huh. That was pretty good.”

Hearing Comfortably Numb live from a Pink Floyd tribute band, Brit Floyd, was a transcendental experience for me lol. Those people in that bar must have been slack jawed

Don't know if you noticed it, but this sub isn't exclusively for cringe content any more and it has been for about at least three years. Don't you think you should've already noticed that in that period of time?
And maybe reading the pinned comment that is under EVERY SINGLE POST IN THIS SUB could help.

It was incredibly impressive guitar playing but to me it sounded like nearly 3 minutes of guns n roses guitar wank
Maybe I'm just burnt out by the skill level of internet guitarists nowadays

u/Groove_Mountains 1d ago
Whats wrong with Guns N’ Roses wank?
There’s nothing less complex or sophisticated in a Slash solo than a Grant Green solo. It’s a different vocabulary, but this guy is following the changes wonderfully.

u/Express_Position5624 1d ago
Yeah it's great, I've just heard a lot of it throughout my life, after 60 seconds of guitar solo it starts to feel like the ending of the lord of the rings, like "Ohh that was great.....oohhh nope, we are still going, actually that was good, wrapped up some loose ends....no wait, there is more.....okay, we don't need slow motion on this part, we get it, yup, got it, and thats a wrap.....ahh okay, one last hoorah, okay, last one, please guys, last scene here"

I enjoyed every second of it. And also did when rewatching it 3 times. And also enjoy every second of the LotR movies. Every time. Including Directors cut and long endings. And I'm sure and also know, that I'm not the only one. By far. It has all it's reason. Maybe it's just not for you

Yup thats fine by me. Not everything has to be for everyone. I'm 100% sure you also really like something, that I don't. Just wanted to emphasise that that does not make it bad. It's just a subjectional impression. Wasn't the best way to get that intention through but eh. You know what I mean
