David Gilmour's Comfortably Numb guitar solo. The best RnR guitar solo ever and ever will be. Listen to it and tell me I'm wrong.

The absolutely best performance guitar solo of David Gilmour

I think “Dogs” is Gilmour’s best work.

No, you're right :-) Comfortably Numb, and Gilmour's closing solo, have been a major part of my growth as a lead guitarist since I first had the opportunity to play that song in a band in the late 80's. Learning and then playing the studio solo was a revelation. The various live incarnations, from Delicate Sound of Thunder and Pulse onward, only increased my appreciation of its power and subtlety, at the same time magnifying its pain and anguish. I consider that solo a musical sacrament; there is simply nothing that compares.

And I say that with full acknowledgement and appreciation of the many outstanding solos of Clapton, Page, Hendrix, Beck, and the other guitar gods whose works I have also had the honor of learning and playing over the years. I have thought about what music I might request for when I shuffle off this mortal coil some day. The closing solo in Comfortably Numb is at the top of the list.

I agree, was watching a reaction video to comfortably numb and first comment I read said a guy was listening to comfortably numb with his girl friend and said this is the second best guitar solo ever and she asked what is the best and he said “wait a minute” lol

Obviously those who like most notes per second will not agree.

Reminds me of a music review after the last ohio state university stadium concert, which I went to, and the guy should have started his review with I don’t like pink Floyd and here is my review.

Different strokes…. I thought it was amazing and not just because of the aromatic smoke that filled the air 😎

You're wrong. That's not saying that it is a fantastic solo, but not the best ever.
