As other's have said, this is a whole album experience. "Hey You" begins side 3 of the vinyl (it is a double album) and I feel it is the emotional center of the the whole piece. Two tracks after this is "Nobody Home" which I think of as one the saddest songs on the album and one's of Pink Floyd's most melancholy over all.
I read somewhere that in the introductory ‘acoustic guitar’ part, Gilmour uses what is called ‘Nashville Tuning’. That is where the low E, A, D and G strings on the guitar are all replaced with a lighter gauge string than usual, and are all tuned up an octave. That, coupled with the chords he’s picking, then gives that beautiful, slightly mysterious sound.
Also commonly called a 'high strung' guitar. This was an Ovation that was played through an Electric Mistress flange and phaser, all pushed through a Univibe pedal. Ovation were 'THE' stage acoustic back in 79, and both David and Roger used them on the tour, two of the best examples donated by the company. However, David especially never got on with them, and he gave his to on of the session men hired for the tour once the tour was over.
I would suggest watching the movie (if you haven’t already) and, of course, listening to the album all the way through. They incorporate parts of the melody from earlier songs into later ones like this.
There are two cd's I own by Pink Floyd. Wish You Were Here and The Wall. Dark Side of the Moon would be another but I never managed to pick it up at the store. All of them are meant to be listened to as a whole, like many other artists of that time it was how it was arranged and presented. Glad you like this one. Hard to pick favorites...
The Wall is one entire piece, telling the life story of Mr Pink Floyd, mostly as he remembers it while lying comatosed in a hotel bedroom as he slides into madness. Heads up. At one point he imagines himself not just as a Rock Star, but as a Facist Dictator with some "to the point" lyrics from Roger Waters
Yeah, you're definitely better off doing the entire album for context and flow. The transitions on this one are so seamless it's almost impossible to stop once you get started. That's Gilmour's hauntingly melancholy voice and guitar at the beginning. With Rodger Waters' emotional vocals taking over after the break. Roger and David's voices play off each other so well throughout the album. Kind of ironic that it's also the album that tore them apart.
Yoo! Love the reaction, I know you've reacted to quite a few Buckethead songs but would love to see you react to Paul Gilbert/Racer X (same guy) he was one of Buckethead's teachers and is an absolute beast of a guitarist! Would highly reccommend Racer X - Technical Difficulties there is a live version of him playing it and it sounds amazing!
It's a shame more musicians like Leo Kottke are not as popular today, leading channels which are in a great position to react to them instead choosing the most overplayed music.

When the electric guitar kicks in it's variations of the same riff used throughout the album. Most clearly "Another Brick in the Wall" 😉
That is David Gilmour on a fretless bass
You really should do the whole The Wall album, it's very rewarding

Nice reaction friend. Enjoying it.

The Wall is a dark movie
If you do Comfortably Numb please do the album version first and then the live version.

This one doesn’t make it into the original movie.
The next song had an iconic acoustic guitar section, so I would add both to your playlist together.
