This is the most odd coincidence ever. Today I started on learning the solo for this song. I looked everywhere for a video by you, because you teach best. And ofcourse I couldn't find it because it wasn't there. But then I checked my subscription box I saw that you have uploaded a video of it today. Thanks Marty!

At 53 years old, I took up guitar two weeks ago. I’ve got an amazingly patient teacher, but I’ve followed you since in learning the greatest PF tunes of all time. This, and Wish You Were Here. Thanks a million for your intuitive, slow, step by step direction. A dream come true for me.

[@sanoj1969]

Hello. I’m 53 now and picked up the electric guitar when I was 50 and love to sit down for awhile and exercise on the instrument. I have no teacher so YT is my learner. Like Marty’s lessons to and I’m here now and then to pick up the solo again. Love it. Keep up practicing 👍. Regards from 🇸🇪

[@gcsoulsurfer5660]

Love how you break it down note by note. I haven't found this anywhere else. Also tabs I found are just flat out wrong. Thanks mate

[@DinoHaldimann]

This is the most iconic guitar solo to me and I always thought of it as the holy grail of guitar playing. Thank you for showing me how to play this incredible piece.

[@andyhoms2001]

It has been a lifelong dream to be able to play this. And to be able to get just a little piece in an hour or more, is so, so satisfying. I've found you to be the best teacher on KZbin. For my aptitude and preference anyway. Thanks Marty!

You've always been my favorite teacher Marty. Not only do you teach the solo note for note, you explain the concepts and your way of approaching the solo. Over the years as I've continued to absorb guitar knowledge, I've been able to apply your concepts to my playing every single day. I hope we get to jam someday!

Yep. 1.5 step bend on the 9th of the G, then 2 whole step bends but on the second come back down and go to the 7th, then wait and do a hammer on/pull off from 5-7-5 on the D. You should be able to tell the timing, as it mimics the lyrics

[@Pontisteve]

Thank you for this Marty! I'm really enjoying it, and your friendly style of teaching works well. I like how you go forward a few steps at a time, then take it from the top. It causes you to keep practicing what you've learned as you add a few more notes on. I think you would do well to be sure and call out the fret# and finger on every single note though, cause some of the easier ones it seems like you assume it's obvious. And sometimes it's not for rookies like me. Thanks again!

that's so true, when I started playing as a teenager I knew everything 😮how wrong I was now 59 and I'm still learning thanks to these channels it's so much fun to slow it down and hang around a note and hear it instead of blazing through a scale then your scratching you head thinking ok what next well I'm now doing what's next and it's is a lot more enjoyable when you get what's next down it was fun getting there😊 anyway have a good day and ROCK ON 🎸
