I might be a bit biased, but I think it’s been topped by Adrian Smith’s. But that’s not really fair since it’s Adrian frickin’ Smith. This covers still insane though!
This is the most identical to original cover on TH-cam, Adrian smiths was not very similar in terms of the exact notes to the original, Thomas version is amazing
That's insane, really, that's insane. These 'easy' solos are actually really hard to play perfectly. You need that 'touch' that only few people have. You are definately one of those. Amazing man.
@@yungplague5534 couldn't agree any more! He has a great ear, that's the key to being proficient at bending, to reach that perfect pitch, tough task to say the least....
Hey man. I know I’m 10 years late to the party, but I just have to let you know that this cover is truly incredible. I’ve been playing this solo for over a year now, so I understand how difficult what you’re doing is. You capture the feel and timing of the song better than I could ever dream of. Every note is perfect, the best I have ever heard someone play. Congratulations on this going viral, you 100% deserve it.
@@George-kh7sn-the ad libs suck. You can’t improve a masterpiece and David Gilmour TOTALLY painted a masterpiece. Don’t fix something if it ain’t broke. If I wanted to watch Eddie Van Halen I would’ve went to his video
man, I've been listening to Floyd for a long time especially that second solo... you killed it. your style owns it. best rendition I've heard. gimlour would be proud.
Just made an account to tell you that you're a super player. It's so amazing listening you play masterpieces in such an inspiring way with so much heart an soul. Keep on doing the good job my friend can't wait to hear your own stuff.
I’ve never commented on a TH-cam video before. This. Is. It. I’ve listened to this solo about 10,000 times, and I’m certain it’s the best I’ve ever heard. Everything was absolutely nailed. Thank you sir
I'm such a critical ass with covers and..terribly picky..after this video I looked at my wife in the eyes and she knew..I had nothing to say...outtstannndding playing brother..I knew the first few notes that this was going to be the real deal..from 1:33 to 1:44 those low notes and bends melted my skull..fuggin A
Michael Those low notes and bends are from the one and only, David G. Pulse Live, that's why your skull melted. Thomas is real good but his own licks that he throws in is something that David Gilmour would never do. That's the difference between one of the very best legendary guitarists in the world of all time and a very good technical player. No offense Thomas.
I've come back to this solo so many times. Your comment sums it up perfectly. I can always find something about a solo that's just "off" or "wrong," but this one is, well, as close to perfect as I can imagine. If he did it in one take....then, just....
Outstanding cover - what'd even more amazing is how you took Gilmour's own playing style and implemented it into your own cover. Like as if Gilmour himself was making this variation. Guaranteed if you were to play this for a huge Floyd fanatic, they'd swear it's Gilmour messing around or him recording it. Then blow their mind showing them it is just a cover and not even Gilmour playing it. Once again, OUTSTANDING job! Spot on! Truly sounds amazing! Keep up the GREAT work!
I have watched this video at least 70 times over the past five years. I just need to know does this guy hold the pick of destiny?? absolutely beautiful, I mean in my opinion, one of the most beautiful solos of all time and he ABSOLUTELY NAILS IT. Beautiful
You’re so accurate with every single note, your timing couldn’t be any more perfect, your precision, dude, you’re just simply what I would call my dream guitarist
Dang son!!!! This makes me wanna get inspired and pick up a guitar. I only could wish I could play an instrument like that. Incredible my friend!! Mad skills yo!!!!
It is not about how fast you play or how man notes per second you can shred. It‘s the feeling, stupid. That‘s why this one of the best guitar solos of all times.
You sir, are an amazing guitar player. Not only did you get all the sounds right, but the timing, and the cleanlienes of the sound, is what sets you apart. I felt like I was at a Pink Floyd show!
lindo solo magnifico, grande interpretação, toca muito cara, sucesso Best ive seen on youtube..Period. Well done.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Boy ah say Boy!!!!!! More, son, ah say we wanna hear more from ya boy!!!!!!!
It’s been a while since I’ve really been listening to music. not listening to certain albums or songs as a religiously, but I come back to comfortably numb every once in a while just to hear the solo, shit goes hard every time.
10 years later and still the best solo cover of comfortably numb on TH-cam.

The moment he pulls out his D, he means business too...
Kaiden Santos just had to say something about pulling out d's didn't you billy.
cloudvs1 yep that D was amazing 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I was 11 when i first saw this insane cover of yours. Now im 20 still the best cover for me!!! You really rock dude!!!!
Oh yes my friend. Time flies so fast
I was 27 when i first saw this. That was 45 minutes ago and I'm still hitting the replay button!
😳 Dang
damnnn
Broooooo same here!!!!
That's insane, really, that's insane. These 'easy' solos are actually really hard to play perfectly. You need that 'touch' that only few people have. You are definately one of those. Amazing man.
It's all in the bends really

@@yungplague5534 also his vibrato is extra smooth, that helps enormously!
Exactly. It's not pyrotechnics. It's expressing feelings and emotions through the instrument.
Slash guitar , Beatles shirt , Pink Floyd song that's a deadly combo bruh he nailed the cover BTW !!!
Betals?
Betals
battles

fucking betals
Perfect timing, clean as hell and you got the spirit spot on. I never hit that suscribe button that hard before.
thanks man
Thomas75s How long did it take you to learn the second solo?
+TheCountrystuff13 just keep practising. Don't count the hours, make the hours count:)
Yasser Parihar that's true. I'm trying so hard to get the timing down. Other than that it's not hard at all

@@andrewunknown111 He used an LP on the another brick in the wall pt. ii solo

That's a f'ing AWESOME comment!

man, I've been listening to Floyd for a long time especially that second solo... you killed it. your style owns it. best rendition I've heard. gimlour would be proud.
thanks man
yep this man is my hero :D
Keep continue thomas . For really you play as original .
Gimlour.. Sounds like a Lord of the Rings character...
@@anupamthapa. that's what I said. " Gimlor pass me the gold coins" gimlor: yes master

+V10 FSI i don't get it?
+Jason Martinez look at the cover of Wish You Were Here
No he wont, he would hug him !!!!
He won't. He was using a Les Paul xD.
That improv towards the end was beyond amazing. You are a true master of the guitar.
Fylly agree, the improvement at the second is amaizing, even the first solo he mastered a bit on his own..excellent!
Viktor Novak İt's called improvisation, not improvement.
Dude ! the 1:59 harmonic was just the most perfect thing for this interpretation it moved me for so many years thank you
Its an essential part of the solo now I can't unhear it best cover hands down
And that beefy bend right before, around 1:53 was the perfect buildup. Slight change of time but it makes such an impact.
It's awesome to see others go crazy over quiet subtle touches. Happens to me all the time. That's why music is the greatest thing.
12 years later and still the best Comfortably numb solo cover out there. I hope this guy is doing very well in life.
Thanks 😀👍

That sounded like David Gilmour meets Slash. Very nice interpretation.
Was just about to comment this. Amazing cover
hes playing pink floyd on a les paul, its david gilmour's played on slash's axe of choice
Out of the current 3.6 million views of the video, I probably watched it like 3.6 million times..

@floydwilliams8595 hers is garbage lol
Best ive seen on youtube..Period. Well done.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
More than 10 years and still the best cover on here.
I loved how the player flavoured the solo to his own musical style... a bit more attack than Gilmour...

Without a doubt the best comfortably numb cover on TH-cam.
Watching this again now and realising this video is just rude 😱
eehhm - How ? :)
Rude cause you're making us all look bad haha :)
(its a compliment my friend)
:)
don't know if you'll see this but can you do sultans of swing pls
i cannot count how many times I've watched this. Every single note just makes me spasm
One of the greatest solos of all time played by a guy wearing a tshirt with one of the greatest albums of all time. Legendary
I saw this cover around 7 years ago and it blew my mind. Today is 2023 and it's still the best cover I've ever heard.
damn. just majestic. gives me the chills.
best cover on YT
The level of precision... you hit the absolute perfect spots
no..
14 years, and still one of the best solos of Comfortably Numb on TH-cam. Love watching you “touch” the guitar.
Playing Pink Floyd, wearing a Beatles shirt... I can see that you're a man of culture as well
That little tapping lick was pretty damn sick, fit the feeling and vibe of the song and solo very well.
Fucking killed it. Nailed those crazy double bends
***** "Lingos"?
RmB9104 I have no idea what lingo/lingos mean but i believe it's a new name for phrases.

You make it look so easy...wow.
its a easy sólo
+Eduardo Gutiérrez Castillo an*, pd. desactiva el autocorrector jaja.

well it is easy... on guitar hero
Maybe because he plays it slowly then speeds up the video.
Fucking goosebumps, really strong version of a timeless song.
1:13 GENIUS!!!!!!!!
pinch harmonic & bending at the same time?
***** Dont worry son you will never do it, it's Black magic
*****
Yeah.... but it was just at the right place !
3 billion years later and the sun is currently on its way out, and yes I can confirm this still is the greatest cover of this solo ever recorded
1:45 eargasm!
The whole solo is an eargasm tbh
Hey, check my version aswell, it s not as good as thomas but it's decent :)

He stayed true to the solo but also made it his own by adding his own licks and style. Love it.
1:49 that bend 🔥🔥
Ive been listening to this for more that 5 years.... always amazing.... that guitar sings man!!!!
I love that little scream the guitar makes at 1:13
It’s called a pinched harmonic. Executed 👌🏻
It's a pinch harmonic
Killed that one hand tapping.

13 years later still the best one , still here for listening … amazing . Just a perfection 🔥
Incredible guitar playing. But that aside, I really want that t-shirt lol
I knew this cover would be epic after the first note
Can you re cover the stairway to heaven and Comfortably numb solos with better audio and video?
I spend whole days listening to this cover over and over... and I would never get bored of it 🔥
Resperct For You Master!!
For some reason I always feel like crying at 1:37
Damn, I do too.. That is for sure one of the most sensible guitar parts I have ever heard.
Probably cause its near the end ;)
that part so emotional
