If Fade To Black And Comfortably Numb SWITCHED Solos!

[@centocerez]

As my teacher once said "as long as it's in Key, anything sounds Amazing over the Comfortably Numb backing track"

[@vahrzawofficialtracks]

Yeah, B blues. Pretty good fun.

comfortably numb with fade to black's solo works surprisingly well

[@moonwalkerkop4479]

Probably same key and bpm

[@canklc4791]

cuz of the same key very little changes are made to fit it in

[@gguitar4496]

I've noticed that faster solos like Fade To Black or Tornado Of Souls in both cases worked pretty well with Comfortably Numb and Hotel California than the viceversa

[@lorenzoq1187]

Both is in b minor

[@SanDimas234]

It does somewhat highlight some of kirk's questionable note choices though.

[@holdenmcgroin5003]

Comfortably Numb with Fade To Black's solo is the most beautiful thing I have ever heard

[@juliodeasis417]

I agree

[@RagshoreJoseph]

Waiting for Gilmour fans come and say: ”Comfortably numb with Comfortably numb’s solo is the most beautiful thing ever. Period.” Or something along those lines

[@rgbjojozahau]

Comfortably Numb with Comfortably numb is better

STOP THE CAP

[@lueysixty-six7300]

I think the other one was better - Fade 2 Bkack with the Numb solo

[@gerarrockzone7146]

It sounds so good, i think than Crazy Train solo can go well with Rainbow In The Dark

I think Fade To Black solo is probably one of the best ever written, it's so emotive, but perhaps that's just the entire song.

[@daisy_the_hater]

I agree completely with you. The song got me, and is still helping me through some dark times, it’s truly a masterpiece and ride the lightnings finest

Wow Literally the first two solos that made me go "holy shit" back when I first got into rock, and what were for a long time my two favorite solos Both songs are probably like top 15 best songs ever, great rendition Beanie Hall 👍

[@CumsyMumsy]

Based as fuck

[@GregMcNeish]

Nice job making subtle timing shifts in your playing to fit the backing track of each. They both worked really well. Two of my favourite solos of all time.

[@kenjicarlos8402]

What really matters more is that both songs' solo sections are in the same key.

dude the comfortably numb with fade to black solo is soooo good

[@leonardomurillo6256]

This experiment shows how good Kirk is at writing melodic guitar solos. His solo fits a song like Comfortably Numb so well and the proof is in the comments. Cheers to Kirk and for you too Bradley for creating such a nice video, keep it up.

[@penttikoivuniemi2146]

Yeah, he has a bunch of really nice melodic, calmer solos. Shame how most of his playing is sloppy pentatonic noodling while slamming on the wah -,-

@@gurrenmed5319 Also Fuel, Spit Out the Bone, Inamorata, Room of Mirrors etc. He didn't really stop doing good guitar solos, their quality just kinda dropped :/ I'm really glad Unforgiven 3 solo gets recognition tho, that solo is amazing.

[@zerosoma33]

Proof is in the comments? Don’t you mean the proof is in the video?

[@catman7153]

It must be incredibly difficult to play a different solo over a very familiar backing track! Very nicely done!

[@ashleighsalinas8526]

Yeah no doubt, I'd definitely keep accidentally veering back into the original song

[@pepesilvia8365]

I assume he just played it to the original track each and then edited on into the other.

[@cecole]

Seriously, it’s hard to just free style your own stuff with such a familiar track in the background and not revert back to the original, much less try to keep with an entirely different known song. Great job!!!

[@arthurdurham]

It's funny bc I think the Comfortably Numb solo doesn't work that well on FTB bc it's not intense enough for that type of song but FTB's solo works surprisingly well on CN.

[@RC32Smiths01]

Please keep doing these man! Such unlikely Combos that sound awesome when done right!

[@generalissimustg810]

Comfortably numb solo in any style and any solo in Comfortably numb style would always sound simply beautiful.

[@edd3262]

This is so surreal, because the solo outro to FTB ALWAYS made me think of comfortably numb, and now I discover that it wasn't just me

[@ThK_Drums]

Stevie T. has also done the Comfortably Numb solo on Fade to black few years back. It's crazy how good it fits !

[@TIDoesAnything228]

Damn. I thought I was the only one who knew that here. Congrats man cuz you totally are a Stevie T fan too. 👍

[@MartyWilson100]

Nice switch, interesting to hear Fade to Black with a bluesy and mellow solo, and Comfortably Numb with a more intense and shreddy solo. I like the contrasts

[@StuPedassol]

All of us would be lucky and ecstatic to write an iconic solo as either one of these... hats of to both of those greats, and cheers to Mr. Hall for making the swap happen so flawlessly.

[@scottlefaivre2446]

That worked out so well. I actually love the fade to black solo over comfortably numb. It works. Good work m8

[@L11Davee]

The second one sounds like a movie outro, not gonna lie.

[@dustinkdye]

Cool demonstration! I think the Fade to Black solo worked much better in Comfortably Numb than vice versa.

[@jenshagelstein7695]

I love Kirks „ Fade to black“ Solo

[@broadkiwi6882]

Why did you have to put two songs of incredibly significant meaning and somehow put them together? I love it!

[@gustavo_zorrilla_yt]

Honestly I’d have to say the Comfortably Numb solo over Fade to Black sounds so much more in key and just fits so well with the other parts in the song

[@GarikBronnikov]

Agreed. I'm sure people will throw rocks at me (and I don't care) but Fade to Black solo has a lot of weird moments with badly chosen pentatonic scale not fitting the key of the original song... Not even talking about it played over Comfortably Numb. What does that tell us? That Fade to black solo is not as great as people make it out to be :)

[@Vivi_9]

@@GarikBronnikov I think you're wrong because playing notes out of key doesn't mean they are badly chosen, using "wrong notes" tastefully is what makes solos interesting.

[@GarikBronnikov]

@@Vivi_9 Yes, you are right. But I doubt that playing a whole pentatonic scale out of key can be described as "tasteful". Anyway, I see your point, all further discussion will be purely subjective so let's just agree to disagree :) Also just so you know, I'm not a Metallica hater or something. I grew up listening to their songs and idolising them. And there are some Metallica solos that are not completely in key, but they are great! Solo in The Unforgivern for example; it has a pentatonic run that's slightly off key, but it sounds great :) So it's just a Fade to Black solo I'm having a problem with

[@ogclasher8931]

Was looking for this comment, it sounded better out of the 2 but both were awesome

[@Sindraug25]

Agreed. It fit so well that in some parts, I found myself expecting it to go back into the Fade to Black solo. I wonder how it would sound, switching back and forth between the two solos?

[@grandemcfloofin8376]

Damn I was just thinking about this switch up the other day 🤯

[@lasyos]

Honestly I hadn’t felt much listening to these songs for years. This makes both new and fresh again! Wow! 🤘🤘🤘

[@turtmcgurt6956]

Absolutely love this series bro, seeing these solos at different tempos and how well they work is fucking mind blowing. Please do more!

[@evildiamond6247]

[@rhinehart_]

Thank Cliff for the rhythm part of Fade to Black's solo.

[@andrewpappas9311]

I fucking loved this, I’ve done the exact same thing when I’ve jammed to these songs and it’s so much fun. Both Kirk’s and Gilmour’s solos were perfectly with each other’s song and I love it, great as always man

[@sarahkaroline1550]

I think FTB's solo fits Comfortably Numb perfectly and CN's solo fits FTB really well - your playing brings out the majesticity of both solos too. I'm going to rewatch the video!

[@ZBspicey]

Any solo in the same key as comfortably numb backing track sounds amazing

[@alexandreorion2253]

This is definitely one of your best ideas man, for me what's most amazing's that it sounds amazing!!

[@hand_and_justin_entertainment]

Imagine Kirk Hammett just saying while explaining how to do the solo to Fade To Black, "You just bend the string right here. Feel the tension..."

[@alexprokhorov407]

Loved the sound and the way you played. Hard to explain, but it has a soul, something that makes it alive.

[@abdelghanitassi6200]

Fade to black final solo is a master piece especially when you play it slow we can see all the details in the phrasing

[@Jotaa.bastoss]

Please switch the solos from Nothing Else Matters and Wrong Side Of Heaven, would sounds gourgeous

Fade to Black is probably my favorite solo, along with Unforgiven III and the last one in Sultans of Swing
