i'd say the opening bit of "Shine on You Crazy Diamond Pts. I-IV" is Gilmour's best solo

: However the comfortably numb solo was in the
: top 50 guitar solo (rank number 4) written
: by the same magazine and had this quote
:
: "I banged out five or six solos,” says
: Gilmour. “From there I just followed my
: usual procedure, which is to listen back to
: each solo and make a chart, noting which
: bits are good. Then, by following the chart,
: I create one great composite solo by
: whipping one fader up, then another fader,
: jumping from phrase to phrase until
: everything flows together. That’s the way we
: did it on ‘Comfortably Numb.’”
:
: If this magazine was your source for using
: Comfortably Numb as an example of Gilmour's
: non-spontaneous and preplanned style of
: guitar playing then I think you made a
: mistake there as it was in their best solo
: list and not the worst
:
: Of course there could be another top 100
: worst guitar solo that had Comfortably Numb
: in it that I can't find.
