New Pink Floyd Ukulele Slide — "Comfortably Numb" first solo by Wayne Sorbelli at Island Guitar Music Store in Key West, Florida.

I stayed after a day of teaching guitar and ukulele lessons at my music shop in Key West and decided to play along to some Pink Floyd backing tracks. Pink Floyd has long been one of my favorite bands, and David Gilmour one of my all-time favorite guitarists! The way he bends and shakes the notes gives his guitar a human vocal quality that very few guitarists can achieve.

One of my favorite guitar solos of all-time is Gilmour's first solo on Comfortably Numb — so I thought it'd be appropriate for my new experiment: Can I play this epic famous solo with my glass finger slide on my guitar?

Then, when reaching for my guitar I saw my ukulele sitting there and decided I'd give it a try on the tiny baby guitar-like instrument instead! Why not? Then I thought it would be cool to try with my glass finger slide ON THE UKULELE! I'm glad I did!!!

I am a guitar player since 1980, guitar repair and set-up guy since 1996, music store owner and operator since 1997, and guitar teacher since 1998, bass teacher since 2000, and ukulele teacher since 2004. I LOVE MUSIC!
