Comfortably Numb solo

Which solo does David Gilmour use the pentatonic position #1 scale in? Is it solo #1 or #2? I really love the whole solo and am trying to get some melodic ideas?

Thanks

    I usually play the B-minor pentatonic starting at the 7th fret. From there, just let loose. I can solo on that progression for like 20 minutes.

    Love David Gilmour. The Numb solo from Pulse is outstanding. His style and feel are a big influence on me.
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me.

    First solo is basically Em natural at the 12th position, with sme notes played down at 7 and 9.
    Second solo is Bm at the 7th position, though it moves up an octave as well.
    Great solo, shows how well some pentatonic blues/rock licks can turn into sublime beauty.
    Music is not a competetion.

    Love me some Dave Gilmour.

    It's always refreshing to see the comfortably numb solo listed as one of the greatest solos of all time in silly magazines and online discussion things. Usually it's about the only thing i agree with that those people say, but for a split second, my faith in humanity is restored , when i see...

    comfortably numb...

    YES

    They get it. Best outro ever.

    Awesome awesome awesome awesome.
