I kinda expected the shredding at some point but no he did not. you cant just not love this guy, contrary to his look now, he's got some most melodic heartfelt solos in his discography. pick any song in his book of shadows 1 album. he's truly unique.
@@BlackMetalTroy322 I mean your right but the beard and the guitar is the only assumption cause he has used that guitar since he's been jamming with ozzy.
People should play the solo how they want, whether they want to improvise or play it faithfully like the original. David Gilmour never plays it the same way twice, and I'm sure if you asked him, he'd encourage guitar players to play it how they want as well.
@@lionofnaples Wow, don't take it so personally 🤣. I'm simply saying, it's hard to find people who play the solos close to the originals. I don't mind when people put their own spin on it, but for classic solos like this I prefer when people try and recreate it, as I'd say it's way harder to do that, than it is to improvise a solo.
@@lionofnaples Sheet music or tablature doesn't include 'feel' does it? There are many intricacies that aren't laid out for you, you have to use your ear, emotion, touch and so on. It's rather hard to get a classic solo like that exact. If you think it's easier than improving then show me you doing it exactly like it is in the original. I'm not saying there's no skill in improving it, I'm just saying I appreciate when people try and put themselves into the same frame as Gilmour or whoever and play it the way he did. As even Gilmour likely can't remember, as you pointed out he plays it differently all the time. Anyone who has played guitar for a while can improvise this and sound good, but it's not what made a famous solo now is it?
@@Name-bn3vo yes of course the feel matters the most and is what made this solo famous in the first place, and not the notes themselves. but then playing the notes exactly don't matter then, as long as you have the feel. Sorry, but I think this song is something that is meant to be improvised over and to be had fun with. if you want to hear it played exactly, then stick to the studio album version.
Rubbish . You might have yourself a guru but Gilmore is stuck in a pentatonic time warp . Many dismiss shred because bottom line they simply can’t play clean at speed . There’s more to guitar than the blues scale .
@@deanwitt7903 So what still Gilmour says more with quarter of notes than these todays shredders. Shredding don't mean shit. It's not how many pages you can write, it's how's the quality of writing. There are thousamds of guitar teachers around the word running guitar teaching and seminars to make ends meet that can shredd, but there is only one david gilmour or mick taylor.
@@josearalat for one, I don't understand the need for your aggressive tone and secondly I expect that the solo was recorded in the way that DG usually records solos (which does not mean they are written before they are performed).
Shuki Shan no, I’m saying that there was no change and no one “let loose” because that’s how the ending of that song is actually played. If you’re unfamiliar, listen to the whole track and especially the ending, there’s no change.
Zakk is such an underrated guitarist, he chose a path that set him apart from your everyday metal guitarist its what makes him so unique and special and idiots vilify him for it. Zakk Wylde did what every guitarist aspires to do he stood out from the crowd with a sound that is unmistakably his own.
To be quite honest, best cover of this solo I have ever seen. Each and every note just felt right using the adequate nuances provided by David Gilmor. I am sure he is a huge Pink Floyd fan. Congrats, Zakk!
That was 1000% more tame than I was expecting. I would love to hear him stretch it out and go nuts because this solo fits really well into his wheelhouse... blues pentatonic chordal riffs for days.
This is what I dig about Zakk. First, he loves rock and has major influences (like we all do) and he is so dedicated to Black Label. Black Lable live is a sight to see (and hopefully one day we will see it again). Plus the kilt he rocks and those Wylde Audio guitars (love the double neck Zakk), what a powerful force.
I got to see Zakk Sabbath in Pittsburgh last summer........Amazing. Of course the first time I saw him was his first tour with Ozzy and that got me hooked
Miss the old school days . Seeing ozzy and Zack several times live in concert Love those time with family and friends Special time . Seems like it went fast . It did . Zack . Excellent brother
The dexterity of Zakk Wylde's right thumb has more tone and soul than most guitarists and their entire rig! Period. I always enjoy studying right hand techniques. Derek Trucks and Chris Buck are right hand technique, tone masters too.
He's actually loaded full of them. But the haters never mention those tunes. Zakk is a bad ass! The thing I love most about him is that almost any thing can be a BLS song. He's not trapped in a box and he's extremely versatile. He'll play piano then turn around and smash some faces with heavy stuff. Not many people in the scene have that creative freedom.
A close friend told me one time, "Gilmore may only play 4 notes in the time it takes others to play 40. But he gets so much more out of those 4 notes."
@@bellofortis2020 My favorite summary is, "Gilmour can do more with a single string on a single fret than most can do with the entire guitar." A bit exaggerated, but the exaggeration is deserved.
In Philly you got kicked of the bar Dirty Frank's because you were super drunk and asked me for my beer and I said know!!!!!!! Tall black guy/ but you did not knowing I was one of you biggest fans and still love you r playing style. thanks. Don't hate me your great!!!!!!!!!! God bless you man!!!!!!! Thanks.
Id say THEE greatest guitar solo ever written. No one has ever made the guitar cry the way Gilmour did in the last two minutes of this song. Statuesque and immortalized. 👍🏻👍🏻

Ya know Gilmore starts with a pinch harmonic too.

Gilmour is the best at making the pentatonic sounds so melodic.

or maybe because the solo started off a pinch harmonics .. :D
@@shriibatsa5100 David Gilmour was Zakk Wylde before Zakk Wylde 😂
My favorite guitarist playing my favorite solo
👍🤘🤘
Maybe the slowest solo he has ever played but that solo is textbook for what makes a perfect solo.

Preach it brother! 🙏
Underrated?
Zakk is no where near underrated... He is the sickest guitarist on the planet! The Wylde man is on a another level.
and to no surprise, that was 100% perfect
Dude the pinch harmonic to start....absolutely perfect

Love those time with family and friends
Special time . Seems like it went fast . It did . Zack . Excellent brother
Zack Wylde is so damn good. Seen him in jax walking up and down the aisle shredding whole time. Blew my mind man.
What does that mean “Seen him in jax walking up and down the aisle”? I’m American but not familiar with the reference of this slang
Highlights the combined awesomeness that is Gilmour's playing and tone.
those rune inlays are awesome, never seen ones like that before
Love Zakk,Doesnt Matter What He Plays,Awesome Video,Have a Rockin Day,Thanks for Sharing..🤘🖤👊👊
Truly faithful and respectful to the original.
Great to see Zakk doing what we’re all doing in quarantine right now. Slowing down and taking it easy.
Love him whistling / humming along
One of my all time favourite guitar solos. Joyous emotional rock n roll! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
What?!Fuck yeah!This solo is the one I'm practicing the most.
Best solo of all times
Love Zakk & love Floyd just Awesome🤘🤘🤘🤘
that was awesome...and since I heard it for the first time in 1985, this is the best “playover”/cover !
I like how when I hear Zakks cover of solo I cry every time like I can feel it make sense
Pleasant surprise! Zakk plays it beautifully. He is so skilled but his style has grown old on me.
IMHO this is the greatest rock solo of all time
The greatest guitar solo of all time
“If it wasn’t hasenpfeffer, I’d have sworn it was carrots.”
Excellent job Zakk! I almost couldn’t tell the difference.
Lmao (bugs bunny reference)
Jay Luck bit tinny
Mmmm roast rabbit!
"I WANT MY HASEMPFEFFER!"
Nah you just cant beat a Strat
He nailed it..
Getting the timing and feel is as important as the notes... excellent work Zack

Is there anything this man can't play?? I think not. Zakk is amazing
Tuba, Saxophone, Trumpet, Violin.. Probably quite a few things he can't play.
I’d love to see him play a strat!
And I would like to see a salmon fly with a flock of pigeons...
I'd love for him to turn the chorus off....
@@ericstoecker2096 ironic, since the original has chorus in front of the amp.......

Been waiting for this exact version,by this very artist😀
This guy is good he should be in a band
Matt Lewis yeah dude for sure!
Yeah man this guys really good maybe Post Malone will put this guy on like he did that ozzy fellow😂

Fucking perfection
He always amazing!!!!!!
Yeah 🤘🤘
Ty
He shows another class performances
Zakk is such an absolute monster!!!!!🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
He plays like original to pay respect to original.
As always mister Wylde plays it to perfection
Love Floyd
Spot on..you know zakk had to use a lot of restraint..lol..was basically note for note
Greg Stephenson thanks man 🤘🤘
We grew up with the best rock and guitarist
Pink floyd & Zakk Wylde Unison solo 🤙
Gilmour is one of the GOATS but we can't downplay how Zak played one of his greatest solos like it was child's play
Thanks Zakk!
Of course Zakk nailed it.
So this is the speed Zakk can play cleanly.
Pink Floyd melhor banda de todos os tempos
I loved it thank you Zak
Learning from the best....👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
O solo mais emocionante de todo Rock
the man has soul
I'm so glad he didn't he didn't shred. Now I respect him.
You're the Man Zakk. Grind that axe for a long time to come.
ZAAk is a great guitar player and a big fan like me!
Spot on!
Awesome brother!
I didn't expect that guitar to sound like that
Bad ass! Zakk slowing it down is incredible! He should put out a blues album. Black Label Blues Society!
He nailed it
I can play that with my eye close, then I wake up
He should try "Polar nights" by Scorpions. Guitar by Uli Jon Roth. I would like to see him try the outro...
Dude can play anything.
The sail of Sharon with a stratocaster single coils.. Would be a good challenge. For him. Without delay and reverb
Right on Brother,, good job did a hit while you played tx .
