]]> Comment on Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb: Hear What Happens When You Play Two Separate Copies Of The Guitar Solo 15 Seconds Apart by Travis http://www.techdo.com/pink-floyd-comfortably-numb-hear-what-happens-when-you-play-two-separate-copies-of-the-guitar-solo-15-seconds-apart/#comment-1943 Travis Tue, 12 Feb 2008 10:22:44 +0000 http://www.techdo.com/pink-floyd-comfortably-numb-hear-what-happens-when-you-play-two-separate-copies-of-the-guitar-solo-15-seconds-apart/#comment-1943 My take on this... "The guitar solo of this song is so perfect that even if you play two copies 15 seconds apart they sync up and compliment each other creating something worth hearing." Compliment? Yes. Sync up? No. Not at all. For them to sync up, I should hear distinguishable parallel or chordal harmonies, or perhaps counterpoint between the two phrases. Instead, it sounds like two guys haphazardly jamming at once. One thing that seems to give the illusion of intentionality is the phenomenon where one line goes up high when the other line goes low, creating moments of pseudo-harmony and minimizing dissonant clashes. But this phenomenon is not due to some planning on the part of Gilmour, but rather due to the natural ebb and flow of a well constructed solo. A good soloist is not going to stay in the same register for too long. Instead, they will play a section in one neck position, and then move up or down to intensify or de-intensify the feel and emotion of the passage. Gilmour does this like a champ, which is why it is a truly great solo, but still purely intuitive and unplanned in nature. My take on this…

Firefox: use the extension "User Agent Switcher" and add Googlebot 2.1 as a new agent. Voila! This offers the advantage to switch for and back as you like.
