This was one of the first solos I ever wanted to transcribe. It was difficult to tackle on violin for a few reasons, the biggest being that my lowest string is a C, but the solo needs to hit a low B. I tried using a momentary pitch shifter on my whammy, but it didn't really work well. I had to record the solo and pitch down the C to a B in post. I guess it's time for a 6 - string!
Recorded on my Yamaha EV 5- string with effects from Line 6 Helix Native software.
Audio and video recorded and edited by Brody Dolyniuk.

O M G....as an avid Pink Floyd Fan who is will turn 70 yrs old in 2024, you did a masterful job!!!!!!

It would have to.

[@WaynesWorld69]

Bringing tears to my eye.....just like Gilmour does.

[@davidprice1356]

Arguably the best violin solo of Comfortably Numb.

[@yuvgotubekidding]

It’s so very impressive that she can make her violin sound like a guitar. Buy equally brilliant that David Guilmour can make his guitar sound like a violin. Two very gifted musicians here.

[@lanapope4517]

I agree, your style is unbelievable, as a guitar player myself, and fully understand the intricacies of that solo, I believe there are few that can do the solo that much justice, much less on a fretless instrument that probably shouldnt even have the capabilities of achieving such sounds. And after my incoherent rambling, you absolutely nailed it, and no doubt could fill in for David himself if need be. Kudos

[@ericmcdonald88]

My oh my I thought the Van Halen was good. That brought tears to my eyes. This song was played for a graduation (mine). Nearest I can tell without sitting down there and listening to it, you are as flawlessly perfect as a human can be. I can only say one thing; More , more, more!
