Tabs: smarturl.it/Comfortablyextended One of my all time favorite guitar solo by one of my very top favorite guitar players - The legendary Sir David Gilmour 🙌 I didn't want to come up with just another Comfortably Numb solo... I wanted to create a meaningful solo that will be long enough to help me put my soul in it. I wanted to get to a point where I clear my mind from everything, and don't think at all about what and how to play. To just let my heart and fingers do everything. I think that I succeeded with a few licks... Especially towards the end :) I'm pretty sure that most of you will not make it through the ALL 10 minutes, but I'd appreciate if you let me know if there were parts that you liked more. The guitar that I play is the all-new Fender Stratocaster American Ultra HSS in Cobra Blue. Fender did a great job with this new model.The neck shape is to die for! Absolutely perfect and exactly how I like a Strat's neck. The Cobra Blue color is absolutely beautiful. It looks lovely on screen but even more amazing in person. And the dark rosewood fretboard really surprised me in a very good way - This is Custom shop level wood!

Hi Kfir, sorry for bothering I'm very interested what devices you use to record your songs. Can you do a review for a mics and the way how you record the sound. I really need this
- Dad why my sisters name Rose - Because your mother loves Rose - Thanks Dad - No problem Pink Floyd Comfortably Numb 10 Minutes Guitar Solo! Fender Ultra
Are you friggin’ kidding me right now?! I have heard this solo played hundreds of times and have never heard anyone make it there own while maintaining the soul of David Gilmour. Well done man.
There's some A minors in stairway, that could be next on the list!!! I actually do like minor chords, Niel Young's, heart of gold has Eminors in it, there good for mellow songs, imho.
@Olivier van Oeveren Definitely this solo belongs to Gilmour, no one could play it like he does. However, this is a great interpretation and it'd be a shame if anyone ( especially a Pink Floyd fan) was to leave this earth without this blessing their ears.
As I sit here in my truck driving to little nowhere iowa on a Sunday heading to a lonely hotel room leaving my daughter behind just to put food on the table I listen to this song blasting volume I can't help but tear up there's so much emotion in the solo it's literally makes me comfortably numb I'm not even joking thank you so much you made my drive so much better
IM 61 AND IN MOST OF MY LIFE I HAVE ALWAYS FELT GILMORE WAS THE ONLY PERSON WITH ENOUGH SOUL TO MAKE THAT GUITAR SING THROUGH HIS FINGERS LIKE YOU JUST DID. THAT WAS AMAZING AND EVEN THOUGH YOU DIDN'T WRITE IT... YOU SURE THE FUCK CAN ROCK IT. AT THE VERY LEAST AS GOOD... IF NOT BETTER. THANK YOU !! ITS MY NEW FAVORITE.
@@mjf857 I think that You are too young to understand that. Emotions, that's all. In this case netiquette simple won't work. Man..., we talking about one of the best guitar solo in music history. Is that all what You can say? CapsLock, rly? Shame on You...
@@mjf857 let the man be. if you'd been a fan for ages and you discover something that give you new enjoyment you'd be hypes as well. it's called being passionate
The Wall sold 20 million copies between 1979 and 1990 alone. That's totally not FREE content, this song made those guys respectfully rich. And I believe this video's monetisation goes to Pink Floyd as well.
Just because he gets money from us watching it or sells a course etc doesn’t mean its not free for us to watch. Which it is! Can an artist not earn money???
Thanks Kfir, that was the best version of Comfortably Numb with your many passing notes, extended version, adding your natural feel, l have heard, many thanks 🙏, appreciate your brilliance and talent. Long time guitarist / singer, l am guessing you are a hot session player, just fantastic 🎸 🎼 🇦🇺
I’m an impatient man. It’s rare that I’ll listen to a cover from start to finish, not even a 3 minute cover. I listened to this from start to finish. Just awesome!
My god man. I have been on this earth for 45 years. Seen and heard a lot of solos in my time. And that was by far the most emotional, yet improvisational, and all while staying on the natural melody of the original solo I have ever witnessed. You made that shit personal, and you made it your own. And that is what a true musician does. So glad I clicked on this. It was a pleasure. Just wow. Thank you so much for posting this.
It's a pity I cannot find the right words to describe such great feelings when listening to this awesome performance. Absolutely amazing and unique!!! Thanks for these 10 minutes of absolute pleasure !!!
It’s about time someone extended that solo. One of the best all time solos ever , one that you can’t turn up loud enough of get enough of . You nailed it bro
Ok here's my thoughts for what they are worth. For me a 10 minute solo is not difficult to listen to as long as it doesn't become redundant, which yours did not. It can be extremely difficult to find enough expression to fill that amount of time and keep the listener attentive. Personally I was on the edge of my seat the whole time waiting and anticipating the next expression. Your phrasing and use of harmonics as well as the roll offs were quite good, I think that even Sir David would be pleased with that performance. David Gilmour is a very high bar to reach indeed because he is so emotional and expressive in his playing and these are the nuances that I think most covers miss. You simply cannot play Sir David from ones head, it must come from inside and I think you captured that quite beautifully. Sir David is my favorite artist of all time and so I tend to be very particular when someone produces a cover of him and usually won't even listen to them. That being said, when i saw in your headline "but it's a 10 minute solo", I thought, this I've got to see. Because I knew that in 10 minutes you'd have to be adding some of your own interpretation. I must say that I happy to have listened, and yes, I sat through the whole thing. Long story short.....I think you did a splendid job of not only capturing many of David's nuances, but the addition of your own personal interpretations were simply spot on. I am new to your work, only having discovered this morning, but I hope to see more of it. Keep putting heart and soul into your music and you can't go wrong. 👍😎
Can I listen to this through your ears some more, please? I find your thoughts worth more than you would admit :-). I'm curious if you would agree... Sir David, bless him, has in my head this particular gift and artistry. Almost every note is one of a kind, and he's musical journey seems to have a beginning and there's always a one way trip towards the end. It's like walking a path in the woods. All you see is trees, but every one is different, and the landscape always changing. If he (Gilmour) reuses ideas, he reshapes them every single time, I never listened hard enough. Have you ever found any repetition in his solos? That's my only concern for the 10 minute variation in this video. He is a very skillful musician, and covered all of Gilmour's work splendidly. His own style was showing in some later riffs. They are all good, I feel Sir David would only frown (and ever so slightly) at the 4 bar long loops. I don't agree with much of the shredding, but I won't question it. It's a bridge to a modern guitar sound, and Comfortably Numb is timeless piece, no? :-). Really good listen this.
@@nanakveermehta7497 Haha, finally made time to give it a try. It's wild where he takes that song, the middle eastern vibe is really something and in good taste. Can't say I'm a big fan of reproducing vocal lines on instruments, but otherwise, that was a good listen. More talent and feel than I can ever hope for :-).
Kfir, I grew up with Pink Floyd and I've heard that song and solo played a thousand times but I have to say I have never heard it played that well. Sir my hat's off to you, that was absolutely amazing. Thank you for doing it justice.
I think david gilmour would appriciate this cover of his solo lot of effort have gone into this got to be the best cover iv heard fantastic kfir 👏 well done
I have literally listened to this guys solo hundreds of times almost daily since I first heard it. A couple of people I've shared it with have actually thanked me for doing so, and the feeling I've gotten from that thanks is something I feel the need to explain here but cant find the words. A few minutes ago when I read some of these comments it actually brought tears to my eyes that it affects so many others in the same positive and uplifting way. Thankfully because it confirms this guys amazing capability.. which in turn helps me explain away the tears I got from simply reading words about a new solo of an old song I've loved for over 40 years.
I HAVE NO WORDS 😳😮 SPEACHLESS ! I thought Gilmour was the only human on earth that could play this the way I love it. I was wrong .If mister Gilmour would sadly leave this earth he has someone to continue his legacy !! Bravo Sir 👏🏻👏🏻
@@linux49er he literaly mentions in the title 10 min solo so he didnt try to do the original and I would love to see you play guitar just so we can judge you too smarty pants
Guys; Imagine what it actually feels like to be able to play this crisp,fresh,relaxed,creative and free, that should be your motivation! Thanks Kfir bro!
Nothing is more important than the emotion that goes into a solo and I felt all of it. You made that guitar sing, scream and cry. You understood the assignment and killed it
Omg yes! My thoughts exactly! Fucking nailed it ALL across the board. Felt all that emotion behind the music 😭😭😭😭😭 That’s what solos are all about. Absolutely fuckin loved it man. I always wondered how this solo would continue if the song didn’t fade and it looped like that for a 10min killer ass solo. Low key had me in my feels 🥹, I wish I could play like that. But tomorrow afternoon I’m replaying this video with the speaker up to 11 and ima play my kit to your solo man. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 you were amazing. I’d pay to see this live lol 🤘🏼 definitely with a lighter up high haha; yelling “fuckin shred it brooo”
@@bigpartyartie The perfect balance between technical and emotional. Some people play fast just to show off and the emotions are no longer there, the instrument loses its value. Some people play emotional but very slow and dull, so it gets boring. This solo right here is just straight up perfect, fast enough to say "damn man!" yet emotional enough to make you think about your entire past, present and future looking to a wall and find answers to questions you didn't even know you had. Get me? Only thing missing is some acid hahahahah!
when are a beginner, the first thing you discover is the guitar does not sound as you expect, neither like your heroes does. It looks impossible. but it's so
I was kidding myself a few years back. I always wanted an electric guitar but only bought one when my fingers were so screwed up by injuries and old age it became wall art. Thank GOD I still have my hearing and the internet. My nephew has the guitar with all the goodies.
This is pure guitar heaven. This was one of my father (and me's) favourite songs, and my father having passed away a year ago, this touches all the feelings. You (should) know you are good when you can make somebody have a tear down an eye with playing the guitar. Thank's for your videos. I mean that.
In all honestly, this might be the best guitar solo I've ever heard. You took one of my favorite guitar solos of all time and elevated it to a whole new level. Amazing.
There is no word in any language to describe this dudes talent its effin mind blowing every single video just leaves you speechless mans an effin genius 👏 😳
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE I saw this video for the first time a month back. Saw this many times almost everyday since then. That wasn't enough, I decide to buy a guitar after having left playing the accoustic one 12 years back. Last week I ended up buying a Stratocaster. Now I have the guitar in my hands, I think of this video...Man, You are GOD... You have inspired me to learn the guitar again, I dream to play this song sometime in the years to come. Thanks for keeping our spirits alive!
hehehe, what a inspirate post, dude, good luck in your efforts with the guitar, never forget that a good amplifier is the key in electric instruments, film your progression time to time and in a couple of years you can show us your progress, we can celebrate with you your success ;D
Your comment makes me so happy because it’s great to see how other people are incredible impressed too. Keep it up. I’m sure that you’re gonna make it. :)
Thanks to this inspirational video, and all your support. I finally recorded my attempt at this iconic solo. Although I think it ain't that good but it honestly feels great to have learnt this after starting out 7 months ago. Link below. ruclips.net/video/x8m_wltg0u0/видео.html Cheers to all!
There's an important lesson there - unfortunately there will always be negative people trying to bring you down and it's not necessarily a reflection of your work; it's them not you. So you can ignore them and carry on.
David, like Eric probably can't play anymore.. that's why he switch to steel.. He's okay w that I'm sure..I can play better than Eric now. I'm 72, a little younger..I was backstage at a Cream concert, in '68 sitting next to Mr Eric..Alohas
You’re saying most of you will not make to end. Let me tell you that I played it twice continuously with full excitement of watching 🤘🏼 Keep this up dude, this is one of the greatest projects that I heard from you. Well done Kfir 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😍♥️
OUTSTANDING!!!! I have loved guitar solos for more then 40 years! Metal, country no matter, but this is on another universe!!! I actually cried in feeling good! AWSOME!!!!!
I've loved this solo for years, I've heard many versions of it and I can thell you that your version is simply amazing, you really feel the energy of the solo and you transmit it through the way you play. I'll download this video to listen to it wherever I go. You are an incredible guitar player and the most important, you know how to play with the heart.
@@smpleman I'll check out Andre Korolev. But actually I think Kfir is better than David Gilmore. Kfir's playing is cleaner. [Update: you're right, Andre Korolev is incredible, but I wouldn't even know how to rank Andre vs. Kfir, the style is quite different]
@@smpleman that guy sounds very close to the Pulse version. But in reality, any guitar player will respect someone who can put their own twist rather than trying to copy a solo note for note to a T. Kfir played it spot on, but then threw in originality on top. But it's all subjective in the end.
I've seen lots of attempts at one of the greatest solos of all time - lots have hit the notes, but not nailed the phrasing, the bends, the smoothness of the transitions and most of all, the heart you are playing it with. You have brought all of it. Best cover of this solo I have ever seen - hands down
Unbelievable!!! I've been a Floyd fan for 50 years, and the Comfortably Numb solo is just one of the greatest contemporary things ever. And, Kfir, you've just totally shredded it to the absolute max. 10 minutes too long for some, maybe. Seriously, you could have given me 60 minutes of that and I would hang off every note and bend. Just speechless. Best ever.
This solo reverberates through the body, mind and soul.No other guitar solo can match this and Mr David Gilmour will go down as one of the greatest musician of all time.Awesome work Kfir.
This is some of the very best playing I have EVER heard. The feeling, the bending, OMG! Just from hearing this one solo, IMO you’re truly one of the best players on the planet. Do you give lessons? Did you have a teacher?
This is so perfect, so emotional. I am so moved. I just sat listening for 10 minutes straight, with tears in my eyes, and when it ended I realized I really was comfortably numb for the entirety of this video. I want this to play as they lower my coffin to the ground.
This solo's up there with the While My Guitar Gently Weeps Hall of Fame induction for George Harrison. I can just watch both videos on endless repeat, and rarely watch either just once. Kfir does a marvellous rendition of that too.
I just found a cure for erectile dysfunction. I'm in my upper 40s. I've been on RUclips since the day it launched. I've rolled my eyes at practically every post I've come across that says something like, "Wow...That song/solo moved me to tears". My eyes shall roll no more because of you, Kfir Ochaion. My eyes shall roll no more.
Pink Floyd fan. David Gilmour fan. Gilmour's composition, as far as I know. Many nice versions on RUclips. This is even better. I keep on listening again and again.
My to-do-list when I got up this morning: 1) Make coffee 2) Watch stock portfoilo grow. New plan: 1)Grow beard 2) buy Fender or similar single-coil based guitar with active pickups 3) Rock Out
@@SeemsLikeSomething I like the extra aggression it adds, and I have read that Gilmour switched to active PUs for this during his live shows. Nothing wrong with some added punch in the mix, right.
Really love how you incorporated so many Gilmour licks from the studio version, the pulse live version and some tasty licks of your own. Very good job and killer tone!
there's something about comfortably numb that makes a 10 minutes solo not that long at all.. especially when played by someone as talented as you. I'm pretty sure that most of those who clicked on it did made it to the very end..!!
Absolutely amazing! Talk about taking a monumental guitar solo and running with it! I’m sure this would make David Gilmour stand back and say DAMN! Improvisation without straying from the true form and feeling. That is true artistry. And to play something so complex and make it look effortless is truly a gift from God.
I could add this to my daily playlist easily man, and in fact that's what I shall do right now, it's stuff like this that get me through the days easier.
Comfortably Numb solo is a piece of music that can keep going on and on. David Gilmore Masterpiece! Had the opportunity to see him play it live one time!
It's not only the technique, it's the soul in this solo that makes it stand out. This is absolutely fantastic, I could listen to it nonstop for hours and hours
The only Guitarplayer neighbour you'll knock at the door to ask to play louder :p. Most of it as been said in the previous comments. can't stop listening to this solo and the other since i discovered your work, you're amazing. thanks for sharing your music around.
This is probably one of the best “cover solos” of Comfortly i have ever heard! And i have heard quite a few! A lovely personal touch but still keeping with the style and feel. A tiny bit “harder and harsher” than Gilmore’s playing style. But absolutely glorious! Some really nice “new” arpeggios and slides that add a nice dimension to the sound. I salute you to a masterful set!

@@michaelwiseman7598 730 agree.
Agreed
His beard or the song?
David Gilmor would be proud. Comfortably Awesome.
David Gilmour will be proud to hear this gem.
The silence, at the end of listening to this solo is part of it.
To sit there in silence letting this wonderful solo just sink in.
And realize you've become comfortably numb ❤
I think david gilmour would appriciate this cover of his solo lot of effort have gone into this got to be the best cover iv heard fantastic kfir 👏 well done
100%
Guys we have to make sure David sees this lets all send his media accounts this link for real. He would so appreciate it!
I also think the same opinion
100% agree. Gilmore would be very proud of this. Hell I'm proud to see this as a huge fan of the song. Wish I had this guys tab lol.

But stiff tho
The best Comfortably Numb solo cover I've heard so far, well played.
How can people dislike a masterpiece like this!!
Usually they pressed the wrong button by mistake.
They must be some other jealous guitarists
Do know intelligence is NOT a trait of the human race...thats why a disslike
because it is only 10 minutes....
Haters will always hate..... You could even be accused of raising dust when all you did was jumping in a pool of water
This dude sounds almost as good as Kfir Ochaion!
9:20 when the guitar becomes a separate entity altogether and starts wailing and screaming!!!! This is god level stuff!
if you mean around 9:40 thats a simple bend but the way he implemented it was pretty good
I have literally listened to this guys solo hundreds of times almost daily since I first heard it.
A couple of people I've shared it with have actually thanked me for doing so, and the feeling I've gotten from that thanks is something I feel the need to explain here but cant find the words.
A few minutes ago when I read some of these comments it actually brought tears to my eyes that it affects so many others in the same positive and uplifting way.
Thankfully because it confirms this guys amazing capability.. which in turn helps me explain away the tears I got from simply reading words about a new solo of an old song I've loved for over 40 years.
❤❤❤
I just let the kids dinner burn in the oven as i watched/listened to this twice. I'm confident that they'll find food somewhere else. Outstanding.
Oh god haha.
...LOL!!! YES!! ....It's a Pleasure to JUST Listen to GREAT MUSIC!!!!.........
Dw Sheahan that made me laugh out loud / funny 😄 ty
They’ll eat it. Or starve.
randle guill It was 😊.
I HAVE NO WORDS 😳😮
SPEACHLESS ! I thought Gilmour was the only human on earth that could play this the way I love it. I was wrong .If mister Gilmour would sadly leave this earth he has someone to continue his legacy !! Bravo Sir 👏🏻👏🏻
2.5 million views. I'm sure David Gilmour saw this and grooved out to it.
This is, "Hey Mr. Gilmour, hold my beer, I got this..."
Nothing at all like the original! Good try but.
This is a good cover . . . but it seems that the "pyrotechnics" trump the Gilmour "feel."
@@linux49er he literaly mentions in the title 10 min solo so he didnt try to do the original and I would love to see you play guitar just so we can judge you too smarty pants
HE IS THE CHOSEN ONE
How can one learn this power?
Not from a pianist
@@emiliocruzrestrepo8734 HAHAHAH best comment ever
@@benthekoolest I seen you in a reddit comment Section. Whoops ment obi.
JAJAJA
ありがとうございます！
Guys; Imagine what it actually feels like to be able to play this crisp,fresh,relaxed,creative and free, that should be your motivation! Thanks Kfir bro!
yes!! I want to snag this and play it on my drums later today... this is beyond words for me. WOW!! ill leave it there.
Nothing is more important than the emotion that goes into a solo and I felt all of it. You made that guitar sing, scream and cry. You understood the assignment and killed it
Omg yes! My thoughts exactly!
Fucking nailed it ALL across the board. Felt all that emotion behind the music 😭😭😭😭😭
That’s what solos are all about. Absolutely fuckin loved it man.
I always wondered how this solo would continue if the song didn’t fade and it looped like that for a 10min killer ass solo. Low key had me in my feels 🥹, I wish I could play like that. But tomorrow afternoon I’m replaying this video with the speaker up to 11 and ima play my kit to your solo man. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 you were amazing.
I’d pay to see this live lol 🤘🏼 definitely with a lighter up high haha; yelling “fuckin shred it brooo”
your 100 percent on the money.
Wow !
@@bigpartyartie The perfect balance between technical and emotional. Some people play fast just to show off and the emotions are no longer there, the instrument loses its value. Some people play emotional but very slow and dull, so it gets boring. This solo right here is just straight up perfect, fast enough to say "damn man!" yet emotional enough to make you think about your entire past, present and future looking to a wall and find answers to questions you didn't even know you had. Get me? Only thing missing is some acid hahahahah!
Comfortably Numb, is the solo that can go on forever.
We noticed 🤣
There is a difference between listening to music and being able to feel it. This one touches my soul. Great job brother.
I’ve got a fender ultra strat too .... mine doesn’t do this so it must be faulty. Better send it back :(
yeah I have new trainer shoes for 6 months already and I'm still fat.
must be defective, too!
when are a beginner, the first thing you discover is the guitar does not sound as you expect, neither like your heroes does. It looks impossible. but it's so
I was kidding myself a few years back. I always wanted an electric guitar but only bought one when my fingers were so screwed up by injuries and old age it became wall art. Thank GOD I still have my hearing and the internet. My nephew has the guitar with all the goodies.
@@WhizeCracker get a steel slide guitar instead.
@@WhizeCracker did same thinking of base guitar now less strings fingers cant move enough on 6 strings so
This is pure guitar heaven. This was one of my father (and me's) favourite songs, and my father having passed away a year ago, this touches all the feelings. You (should) know you are good when you can make somebody have a tear down an eye with playing the guitar. Thank's for your videos. I mean that.
I hear you, does exactly the same to me for the same reason. God rest yours and mine and all.
Again, does exactly the same for me for the same reason, stay strong man
They will be on the dark side of the moon shining on their crazy diamonds!!!🐖🐕🐑
RIP your father
In all honestly, this might be the best guitar solo I've ever heard. You took one of my favorite guitar solos of all time and elevated it to a whole new level. Amazing.
Definitely agree
what are you on?
YES ❤
There is no word in any language to describe this dudes talent its effin mind blowing every single video just leaves you speechless mans an effin genius 👏 😳
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE
I saw this video for the first time a month back. Saw this many times almost everyday since then. That wasn't enough, I decide to buy a guitar after having left playing the accoustic one 12 years back.
Last week I ended up buying a Stratocaster. Now I have the guitar in my hands, I think of this video...Man, You are GOD...
You have inspired me to learn the guitar again, I dream to play this song sometime in the years to come.
Thanks for keeping our spirits alive!
Way to go!!
dude best of luck to you, felt good listening your story. I wish i also buy a guitar someday and learn to play
hehehe, what a inspirate post, dude, good luck in your efforts with the guitar, never forget that a good amplifier is the key in electric instruments, film your progression time to time and in a couple of years you can show us your progress, we can celebrate with you your success ;D
Your comment makes me so happy because it’s great to see how other people are incredible impressed too. Keep it up. I’m sure that you’re gonna make it. :)
Thanks to this inspirational video, and all your support. I finally recorded my attempt at this iconic solo. Although I think it ain't that good but it honestly feels great to have learnt this after starting out 7 months ago. Link below.

I don't comment much, but that was the best youtube video i have ever seen/listened to. You have amazing talent. Thank you!
It genuinely makes no sense as to why someone would dislike this.
There's an important lesson there - unfortunately there will always be negative people trying to bring you down and it's not necessarily a reflection of your work; it's them not you. So you can ignore them and carry on.
PsyMongazoid just blew my mind lol
Jealous
It's all good bro,they have their interpretation and that's cool,so long as you and I and the other 51K enjoy it that's all that matters
They pressed dislike by mistake?
I took a huge dab and have just been frozen in front of my tv just standing and just drooling over how you play, what a holiday gift for us
Shaun Afandiyev dab
Haha nice
This is the best original Comfortably Numb solo I ever heard not being Dave Gilmour himself. Thank you sir for spreading your musical talent
The only bad thing about this solo is it ends.
Right click, select loop. Enter heaven.
Wow great solo! Even some EVH sound in it wauw!
@@dougscott170 yeah do that
Dave Gilmour really needs to see this. I mean seriously, this is nothing short of phenominal.
Incredible, I have seen dozens of versions and this one is probably the best...
David, like Eric probably can't play anymore.. that's why he switch to steel..
He's okay w that I'm sure..I can play better than Eric now. I'm 72, a little younger..I was backstage at a Cream concert, in '68 sitting next to Mr Eric..Alohas
Knoffler is already aware of Kfir
NO LOL David may CHUCK HIS GUITAR OUTTA WINDOEW XXX
You’re saying most of you will not make to end.
Let me tell you that I played it twice continuously with full excitement of watching 🤘🏼
Keep this up dude, this is one of the greatest projects that I heard from you.
Well done Kfir 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😍♥️
Haitham it is simply awesome!!
Me too
Same here. Looping!!
أتفق معك
Yeah. Me too. Takes me back to the good old days. At least they tell me they were good. It's all a little hazy.
OUTSTANDING!!!! I have loved guitar solos for more then 40 years! Metal, country no matter, but this is on another universe!!! I actually cried in feeling good! AWSOME!!!!!
Every Fender strat leaves the factory waiting for this moment.
Well done my friend.
I finally found it. The soundtrack of my lockdown life for the last 3 months. A ten minute cover of the greatest guitar solo of all time.
I've loved this solo for years, I've heard many versions of it and I can thell you that your version is simply amazing, you really feel the energy of the solo and you transmit it through the way you play. I'll download this video to listen to it wherever I go. You are an incredible guitar player and the most important, you know how to play with the heart.
This may be the best this solo has ever been played... insane variety of improvisation.
There is one better closest to David Gilmore he is Andre korolev
@@smpleman I'll check out Andre Korolev. But actually I think Kfir is better than David Gilmore. Kfir's playing is cleaner. [Update: you're right, Andre Korolev is incredible, but I wouldn't even know how to rank Andre vs. Kfir, the style is quite different]
@@smpleman that guy sounds very close to the Pulse version. But in reality, any guitar player will respect someone who can put their own twist rather than trying to copy a solo note for note to a T. Kfir played it spot on, but then threw in originality on top. But it's all subjective in the end.
I listen to this for hours every month. Comfortably Numb has the best solo ever written
I've seen lots of attempts at one of the greatest solos of all time - lots have hit the notes, but not nailed the phrasing, the bends, the smoothness of the transitions and most of all, the heart you are playing it with. You have brought all of it. Best cover of this solo I have ever seen - hands down
Joseph Hanna check out andrey korolev’s Version.
Unbelievable!!! I've been a Floyd fan for 50 years, and the Comfortably Numb solo is just one of the greatest contemporary things ever. And, Kfir, you've just totally shredded it to the absolute max. 10 minutes too long for some, maybe. Seriously, you could have given me 60 minutes of that and I would hang off every note and bend. Just speechless. Best ever.
If you were born in the 60s you’d be immortalized. Truth.
Or the 70's and 80's when rock gods ruled the world. He is next level.
This solo reverberates through the body, mind and soul.No other guitar solo can match this and Mr David Gilmour will go down as one of the greatest musician of all time.Awesome work Kfir.
This is some of the very best playing I have EVER heard. The feeling, the bending, OMG! Just from hearing this one solo, IMO you’re truly one of the best players on the planet. Do you give lessons? Did you have a teacher?
This is so perfect, so emotional. I am so moved. I just sat listening for 10 minutes straight, with tears in my eyes, and when it ended I realized I really was comfortably numb for the entirety of this video. I want this to play as they lower my coffin to the ground.
Fuck what a comment sir. Same here man. I'm goin' out of this world with this this playing in the background.
"earn this"
Same...
Dude that was an unreal performance!!! One of the best David Gilmour covers I’ve ever seen!!!
Next time 20 mins please 😁😉
His wrists are most definitely 'comfortably numb' after that 🤣
@2v_5r 👍👍😄😄
Let's make it big. 10 hours.
I've listened to this more times than is probably healthy.
... and you're not the only one with this desease ;-)
This solo's up there with the While My Guitar Gently Weeps Hall of Fame induction for George Harrison. I can just watch both videos on endless repeat, and rarely watch either just once. Kfir does a marvellous rendition of that too.
At least the muscles grew in your ears and not your arm.
I just found a cure for erectile dysfunction.
I'm in my upper 40s. I've been on RUclips since the day it launched. I've rolled my eyes at practically every post I've come across that says something like, "Wow...That song/solo moved me to tears". My eyes shall roll no more because of you, Kfir Ochaion. My eyes shall roll no more.
Who needs a blue pill when you can play a blue fender into the stratosphere like that

Ur profile pic looks like ur 70 lol
@@dakotaashe3184... says the dogface.
@Dutch van der Linde oh
Pink Floyd fan. David Gilmour fan.
Gilmour's composition, as far as I know. Many nice versions on RUclips.
This is even better. I keep on listening again and again.
My to-do-list when I got up this morning:
1) Make coffee
2) Watch stock portfoilo grow.
New plan:
1)Grow beard
2) buy Fender or similar single-coil based guitar with active pickups
3) Rock Out
Considering what the market did this week, sounds like your new plan has considerable merit!
Chris Nautrup
Active pickups? Really, why?
Looks like a humbucker at the bridge
@@ericynot Absolutely, things took a turn.... so right now I am "in between stock portfolios" :)
@@SeemsLikeSomething I like the extra aggression it adds, and I have read that Gilmour switched to active PUs for this during his live shows.
Nothing wrong with some added punch in the mix, right.
Really love how you incorporated so many Gilmour licks from the studio version, the pulse live version and some tasty licks of your own. Very good job and killer tone!
this is the best thing i've heard this decade, it's absolutly wonderful
3.5 million views , and only 505 likes???!!!!!! That’s criminal , this is incredible to say the least
92 thousand likes now
there's something about comfortably numb that makes a 10 minutes solo not that long at all.. especially when played by someone as talented as you. I'm pretty sure that most of those who clicked on it did made it to the very end..!!
Mourad Benichenacha , I did make it to the end too😀
Mourad Benichenacha yes exactly 10 minutes it s just...normal
I can make it for 2 rounds
It’s because he’s shredding through the same scale of Bm
Went on longer than Brexit but _way_ more tolerable 👍😎
Please add this to Spotify. I love this
IT IS NOW!!!!!
Absolutely amazing! Talk about taking a monumental guitar solo and running with it! I’m sure this would make David Gilmour stand back and say DAMN! Improvisation without straying from the true form and feeling. That is true artistry. And to play something so complex and make it look effortless is truly a gift from God.
Kfir, this is THE BEST cover of this song in the entire solar system. Listening to this transported me to a magical place. Amazing F'ing cover.
I could add this to my daily playlist easily man, and in fact that's what I shall do right now, it's stuff like this that get me through the days easier.
Sir, that was so wonderful that it brought musical tears of happiness to my eyes. Never stop playing.
The whole 10 minutes was awesome! Not even a single stale moment. The intensity was sustained all throughout. Hands down 🙌🏻
How about the rest 40 seconds?
Azrul Shah Azmi Haha! I died in the rest 40 seconds 😅
I agree Matthew Villarin
I've listened to this over 30 times now... Sometimes 5 times in a row. Truly awesome.
4:30 to 5:15 is absolutely sublime
sounds like it could have been written by Gilmour himself, I particularly like when he lets the open strings ring out
Comfortably Numb solo is a piece of music that can keep going on and on. David Gilmore Masterpiece!
Had the opportunity to see him play it live one time!
I played this in front of my ukulele... Now it's a Fender Stratocaster.
Lol
A strat is the ukulele of guitars.
Uhhh what did you play it on?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@josephwoo69 on his smartphone i guess
It's not only the technique, it's the soul in this solo that makes it stand out. This is absolutely fantastic, I could listen to it nonstop for hours and hours
David Gilmour needs to see this.
Goosebumps. Especially in the middle section.
After the big bang, this solo played.
I like that you've improvised on some of the parts from the PULSE concert
I agree! And elements of Delicate Sound of Thunder live version as well.
The only Guitarplayer neighbour you'll knock at the door to ask to play louder :p. Most of it as been said in the previous comments. can't stop listening to this solo and the other since i discovered your work, you're amazing. thanks for sharing your music around.
There is always an issue with this solo. It ends.
Splendid job mate.
You gave me one of the best and unfortunately shortest 10 minutes of my life. Left me speechless and made my day. Genuinely thank you bro.
This is probably one of the best “cover solos” of Comfortly i have ever heard!
And i have heard quite a few!
A lovely personal touch but still keeping with the style and feel.
A tiny bit “harder and harsher” than Gilmore’s playing style. But absolutely glorious!
Some really nice “new” arpeggios and slides that add a nice dimension to the sound.
I salute you to a masterful set!
Agreed
If you like this check out andrey korolevs version .
One of the best... it is the best.
Simply amazing! Probably the best tribute I have heard. Now we need an 8D version of this solo.
