My Tribute to David Gilmour

Pink Floyd’s Comfortably Numb is one of my favorite songs of all time. It’s mysterious, beautiful and powerful, and it features one of the most iconic guitar solos ever by David Gilmour. Like many other guitar players, David was one of my biggest influences growing up, and I spent an incredible amount of hours as a teenager, trying to figure out how to get his sound. I wanted to cover Comfortably Numb as a tribute to David. It was essential to pay homage to the original, but I also wanted to make it sound like something new and different, by giving it a millennial twist! I’m just a novice compared to David, so be gentle. I hope you like it!
