Lex,I'm a retired professional guitar instructor of over 45 years and I have to say your guitar playing was very good.Your podcasts are very inspirational and always start my day off on a positive note.I wish you nothing but the best in the coming years ahead.
Holy. Fuck. PHD, AI Researcher at MIT with multiple publications, Black belt, Podcast/interview Host, and musician. English isn't even your native tongue, I believe? You sir, have my absolute respect. Christ I need to go think about my life after this. (edit) just realized from seeing that piano back there that you probably know that as well. good god man.
@@simonclarent3742 I don't think it will be impossible for him. I can play the guitar very well, I have been playing since I was 9 years old. I have basic knowledge of the piano. I have a masters degree that focuses on business strategy through data analytics, statistics and business rescue (in USA known as insolvency, bankruptcy, chapter 11 etc), I have time to play games like Lex does and most people for that matter, I work for a university, I have taken fighting classes since 16 years old...basically I have done similar to what Lex has done and I'm 24 years old. In other words I'm nothing special and I have done this so I think anyone can do what they want to do. Nothing stops them. If they want to be as skilled as Lex and have nothing stop you then just do it.
It's crazy that this guitar solo is so emotional and people that call this the greatest solo ever seem to understand it. It's like it lulls you into comfort with the lows and then when the guitar goes high almost sounds like a cry for help and then back into the lows as if its all gonna be okay. It's such a brilliant piece of music that gets a lot of respect but also I think some people over look it. Seeing someone like Lex play this and you can tell when he plays that high part it hits him like so many others.
That's cause David Gilmour is a guitar god! Literally one of the greatest guitar players of all time. I never really appreciated him as much when I was a lot younger, but as I delve more into pink floyd I realize just how much of a legend he is. He's up there with hendrix for sure.
Try listening to Holdsworth, Guthrie or Gambale if you haven't already. I know that Gilmour is great but nowhere near these guys in terms of versatility and technique
I look back at my 57 years on this planet, and I feel that Lex and I are on two different ends of the bell curve for accomplishing things in our lives. Thankfully, he shares his knowledge with us 😄
Had no idea you could play guitar, one of my favourite people to listen to and here you are playing one of my favourite guitar solos. Just Wow man it sounds amazing! Wish we could jam together 🎸
That's a fact about music hitting its zenith in the seventies. Couldn't agree more. I always laugh at some of these twenty-something review channels when they say something like... "Wow, that was pretty good. It holds up pretty well even today..." OMG !
One day I’m listening to him talk about life and the meaning of it all, the next he’s playing Stanley parable and now I stumble upon this? Truly a renaissance man amongst creators.
@Nedd Flanders He has spoke about his battles with humility (and lack of) at times. Just because a person shows confidence in themselves doesn't mean they are not humble. I find Lex to be well balanced with a good inquisitive nature about him, it is wise to question things with a view towards improvement. We are all a work in progress.
Hats off to you Lex. You're a fine example of how specialization is not the key to the future of education. Continue your diversity and share it all. Thanks for inspiring.
Well said! Of course he should be versatile- that will create many interesting opportunities for him. And since he sucks at interviewing people, he'll still be very good at doing something else..
Not disagreeing with you, but I don't think we should force diversity. People naturally have multiple interests, and we should encourage that, instead of forcing them to diversify.
I'm 76 years old and my life has spanned the beginning of true electric guitar sound with The Ventures to the whole hippie 60s and 70s. It's amazing what was created in the way of this sound in only about 20 years. Since Hendrix and the others of that generation, there has been little innovation, just perfection-ing.
Lex is so cool man, where science, spirt and the soul comes together, couldn’t be happier for his success and wish him the best ongoing. Love to see him shred, solid
Awesome to see this side of you, sweet tone, binge listening to every single video of your channel at the moment, thank you for putting all this great content up
Awesome to see that you follow Lex, Wintergatan! Brilliant minds gotta follow each other! Unrelated to Lex, I recently have been listening to those of the IDW and the first thing I noticed about the Dark Horse podcast is that you supplied the theme tune. With the sound of the machine and marbles resetting too!
The first time i saw this guy being interviewed, my initial though was, “this guys is WEIRD.” Halfway through the interview, “is it weird I’m still listening to this guy i thought was weird?” By the end of the interview, “i totally have a crush on this guy!” Many interviews later and now watching this…oh boy. 😍
Beautiful lex. One of my favourite pieces of music. A solo to ponder existence, space and consciousness to. I write this from my tent after walking for four days through rugged beaches and forest untouched by people where I had many things to mull on and the timing of this was perfect. A full moon too…
Exactly what i was thinking. At 26 i just realized that this is the kind of man i want to be, educated, relaxed, open minded, with a successful career and being able to do what i love while meeting incredible people in the meanwhile.
I feel the same way. I have watched his talks and just thought he was someone smarter and more interesting than me. After Joe Rogan episode and now this it shows how much I still stereotype people even though I consider myself as open minded as they come.
@Trent Michael Talented people tend to be talented in multiple domains. His brain works and that's how he understands guitar, machine learning, etc...
He is not shredding. Shredding is a term for high speed and highly technical playing. This is a slow jam. Also he's got a long way to go, which is perfectly cool, sounds like he started playing late in his life.
I play and learn guitar myself, it's a very challenging instrument and this solo has lots of emotion in it. It'll take a lifetime to replicate it - David Gilmour obviously spend his entire life's work to the art of guitar.

In 1994 I had to choose between a Pink Floyd concert and my first real job. Everyone told me there would be other concerts, I told them there would be other jobs. I've made some dumb decisions in my life, but this was not one of them.
Well actually there are tons of flat bends and mistakes of every possible nature. Still, it's a good effort and he's surely a decent intermediate player.
Dude, why did it take me 2yrs to learn that you can also rock the guitar! Big fan, inspiring and don't ever change ! Truly talented Lex! It's one of my favorite tracks and you played it perfect 🙏
Absolutely beautiful. The very last part is so emotional, it feels like a riff of hope played out to those that are suffering and have suffered. It says, "I feel your pain", but the context of Lex playing this transforms this piece into one of hope. Lex Fridman understands the terrible suffering of the human condition, and so he works tirelessly every day to try to help build a better world. Therefore, his existence in this form proves there is still hope for humanity after all. He proves that there are truly good people out there who selflessly want to help. Thank you Lex Fridman. For your service to humanity, and for the inspiration you provide me with everytime I visit your channel. God bless you.

Seriously, Right!? This man is incredible... Great Cover/Great Playing! Question: I see the "Happy Birthday" posts... Did he share this on his Birthday? I'll admit, I'm a bit taken back, because Lex Fridman is a Research Scientist at MIT and he doesn't look a day over 20 -21... Ha! Does anyone know what his age is? (He seems to have accomplished sooooo much in such a short time... Maybe "Skipped" a couple of grades before entering University??? ) :) Cheers! :D
First love your Podcast…. but Wow! Didn’t know you could play like that! I’ve been playing since I was 16 and I’m 52 and still gig weekly. Nice job! Your technique and feel is really strong. Little advice watch your pitch in some of your bends. I’ve enjoyed this as much as your other videos. Thanks for posting!! Cool to see and hear this side of you.
Get out!! Lex can play like this?? I heard it mentioned he plays guitar and I figure he's a strummer+ Lol! He's playing it as relaxed as Gilmour. Wow...I'm seriously impressed. He played it with so much emotion. Bravo, Lex. 👍🏼
Love it and 3:02 was smooth. Especially how you end it. You did your own version yet it sounded like something Gilmour would do. Just lots of bend and simple melodic playing and very interesting choice of tone. It sounds raspier than Floyd but it worked. Which is all this song is about. Gotta feel it and let the music play itself. You gotta post the full version Lex. It's been years now.
It's always good to have balance of creativity, intellect, and sportsmanship. Wow! This was unexpected! I just started my guitar journey last year and play daily now. This inspires me to keep on!
Lex, Between The Godfather suit, your work on AI and bringing it to the attention of millions, the guitar shredding, and your ties with Philadelphia (I’m a Philly boy myself. Drexel Alumni with a degree in Philosophy) I must say: You rock, brother. Please keep up the good work!
Man, you're just my inspiration. MIT professor, karate black belt, a brilliant podcast host, now a guitarist. You're one of the most Versatile people I've ever seen.
Well done...you have the flow... you are genuinely feeling the music. True to yourself bravo. Once you feel the adrenalin...breath...try to delay a couple of nano seconds...relax jaw and shoulder, breath you are creating cosmic vibrations
I remember watching Gilmour play this solo in New Orleans. I looked down the row and saw 5 other grown men with tears flowing down their cheeks... You got a lot of soul for a genius.
New found respect. Second Favourite pod caster playing my favourite song. Driving my favourite car. If only we could get all the apposing sides in one room on mushrooms 🍄 lock the door until they all learn to stop hating one another. Your the best Lex.

I had no idea who Lex fridman was till he randomly popped up on my feed. This kid is amazingly multitalented!
lmao I randomly discovered him this week and I've been over indulging in his content ever since
@@nateo7045 They go way over my head on their discussions. But, enjoyable nonetheless
This song brings me to tears everytime, it's just too powerfull.
Lex can do everyhing. Very smart, MIT researcher, great podcaster, great interviewer, never aging. How come!! Life is so not fair.
A musician too!
Can't be more awesome!!!
Happy Birthday Sir.
Seriously, Right!? This man is incredible... Great Cover/Great Playing!
Question: I see the "Happy Birthday" posts... Did he share this on his Birthday? I'll admit, I'm a bit taken back, because Lex Fridman is a Research Scientist at MIT and he doesn't look a day over 20 -21... Ha! Does anyone know what his age is? (He seems to have accomplished sooooo much in such a short time... Maybe "Skipped" a couple of grades before entering University??? ) :)
Cheers! :D
Sourov Roy Thanks Bro! I will! Cheers! 😀
You’re so interestingly unique lex, I’ll always admire you.
The multifaceted, omnipotent genius that we do not deserve.
After some reflection, I've realised that humanity deserves more humans like you. 1 million at the very least.
Lex, you are outstanding, you have my absolute respect...
Holy shit Lex. I'm a huge Pink Floyd fan and your rendition of this solo just gave me goosebumps.
Dammit Lex, that's a damn good cover, including the improvised part. Much love from Mother Russia, brother.
First love your Podcast…. but Wow! Didn’t know you could play like that! I’ve been playing since I was 16 and I’m 52 and still gig weekly. Nice job! Your technique and feel is really strong. Little advice watch your pitch in some of your bends. I’ve enjoyed this as much as your other videos. Thanks for posting!! Cool to see and hear this side of you.
Get out!! Lex can play like this?? I heard it mentioned he plays guitar and I figure he's a strummer+ Lol!
He's playing it as relaxed as Gilmour. Wow...I'm seriously impressed. He played it with so much emotion. Bravo, Lex. 👍🏼
This solo has brought me to tears before, not because I’m sad but because I’m present within all that is around me
🙏
A SERIOUS TALENT ACROSS SO MANY AREAS OF LIFE....big props LEX
Love it and 3:02 was smooth. Especially how you end it. You did your own version yet it sounded like something Gilmour would do. Just lots of bend and simple melodic playing and very interesting choice of tone. It sounds raspier than Floyd but it worked.
Which is all this song is about. Gotta feel it and let the music play itself.
You gotta post the full version Lex. It's been years now.
I did not know that Lex could actually shred, let alone play guitar. This is amazing!
Thank you for sharing this with the rest of us, extremely enjoyable! Great podcast, great heart!!
It's always good to have balance of creativity, intellect, and sportsmanship. Wow! This was unexpected! I just started my guitar journey last year and play daily now. This inspires me to keep on!
One of the best solos of all time.
Absolutely massive.

Lex is always doing things in a way that polishes his attributes
Lex,
Between The Godfather suit, your work on AI and bringing it to the attention of millions, the guitar shredding, and your ties with Philadelphia (I’m a Philly boy myself. Drexel Alumni with a degree in Philosophy) I must say: You rock, brother. Please keep up the good work!
The more I find out about Lex, the more I am impressed and amazed by him.
Man, you're just my inspiration.
MIT professor, karate black belt, a brilliant podcast host, now a guitarist.
You're one of the most Versatile people I've ever seen.
You forgot the chess.
The way you nail the bends…. Damn brotha.
One of the greatest solos of all time.
Well done...you have the flow... you are genuinely feeling the music. True to yourself bravo. Once you feel the adrenalin...breath...try to delay a couple of nano seconds...relax jaw and shoulder, breath you are creating cosmic vibrations
Incredible !! Never knew that you play guitar this way, I would even say that you mastered the piece professionally , Bravo !
One of the best things I’ve seen in a day already packed with best things!
Lex puts out some amazing content but watching him play some David Gilmour is hands down my favorite.
One of my favorite solos of all time. Great job, Lex!
I remember watching Gilmour play this solo in New Orleans. I looked down the row and saw 5 other grown men with tears flowing down their cheeks... You got a lot of soul for a genius.
When this pops up in your feed and you've already watched/listened to it many, many times but have to do it again. 😍❤️
Well now i like/love Lex even more playing one of my personal favorite bands. I think David himself would be proud/honored your an obvious fan
Good job mate, one of my fav band and guitar solos of all time.
Pink Floyd's music is really timeless !
New found respect. Second Favourite pod caster playing my favourite song.
Driving my favourite car.
If only we could get all the apposing sides in one room on mushrooms 🍄 lock the door until they all learn to stop hating one another.
Your the best Lex.
Incredible work. Love how you worked your instrument. ✌️
Discovered you on JRE--Joe doesn't understand the romantic and passionate Russian soul. I get my peeps, they run hot and cold. hahah Great solo. :)
Someone’s in love! And I don’t blame you. I’m a straight guy and this guy is an inspiration !!!
