Been trying for over a year on this one, been through all the tabs but just never sounded right and couldnt get the timing down. This has helped me so much and made me very happy. Thanks so much mate. This is brilliant

[@hettieh]

I've been sitting here all night with my guitar pausing/rewinding/playing this and I've almost got it. Your video is really great, thanks for taking the time to make it! :)

[@RanjitSingh-ez8gu]

Wow i'm a beginner but even i can follow your steps on this really awesome solo! thank you

[@albonner2094]

This is an awesome lesson Thanks. But how about the first solo? I cant find a lesson for that anywhere.

[@clutch1141]

Awesome lesson thanks

[@wheelsturn]

That was aweomse! love the break down. Took me a day to get it down. Thanks again for taking the time to break it down for us old guys.

[@gustavryderfelt9640]

Really good video cuz u show exactly how to play the song
I learned it perfectly thanks to you!!

[@blackdru06]

by far my favorite online instructor thus far. great teaching style, i was able to follow along and learn the song despite being a beginner

[@alexjames-music6271]

Sweet. Well played. Just gotta practice it now. Thanks a million.

[@janm1868]

Last night I've been learning the solo with the help of your vid. So far I'm able to play it at around 80 bpm. Thx for the great instructions. I've only had some problems following your steps at the fast part, would've helped a lot if you played the combined steps more often.
Anyway, I tabbed the solo in Guitar Pro, which makes learning it much easier. So if you wanna put a download link in your vid, 'cause of course all credit belongs to you, let me know.

[@vcngl]

Would you mind sharing that link? Thanks!

[@OnaiculIhcsalez]

this helped so much !
quick tip for that third phrase, rather than using two fingers for the 9th on the G and B and then a pinkie to hit the 10th on the B, i just use my ring finger and pinkie for the 9th on G and B and then slide my pinkie to the 10th and back again, less of a stretch and quite comfortable

[@shamelesswill2]

Thanks Zach for breaking this solo down into concise pieces and going through them so thoroughly

[@Noodles5ive]

The last part reminds me a little bit of the end of the second “Comfortably Numb” solo which I spent 2 months on before throwing in the towel lol. If I can get this solo down maybe I’ll go back to it 🤷‍♂️
Thanks a lot though man, great tutorial

[@MrGuitarCarl]

Oh my god you're awesome your teaching style is perfect this is exactly what I need

[@lewisjones817]

Hey first of all thanks so much for making such an in depth solo lesson:) i learnt the whole solo from you and it sounds awesome, i just can seem to get the last part, the one with the pull offs at the start and built around the scale. Ive been trying to get it for months and just can get it, i km

@Jcolumbia5 Hey man, I learned the solo by ear, so am not sure what a good tab resource would be. Hopefully the video has helped!
