Shut yourself away stick a pair of cans on and don't get disturbed for the duration !
Enjoy !
Oooh.
I'll watch that later once I've eaten. Ta.
Legend, thanks. 😀
Superb. Best served with eyes closed.
Will watch that later. Fabulous guitarist. So.......effortless.
Anyone a fan of 'on an island'? I really like it, in an understated way.
Will watch it, with headphones and vodka later tonight.
The funny thing about Gilmour is on the surface he comes across as a very conventional, maybe even stuffy and posh, person; and yet his style is pretty progressive. OK, maybe not Jeff Beck progressive, but progressive all the same.
Great guitarist. I think his solo during Comfortably Numb, on Delicate Sound of Thunder, is one of THE best solos I have ever heard.
He's an amazing guitarist, makes it look so easy and effortless.
Ooof! Just as I was thinking of selling my strat...... 😕
Mikey74, agree 100% with you, also Comfortably Numb Is my Favourite record of all time,
Delicate Sound of Thunder tour video is my all time favorite.
Brilliant thank you
Outstanding! Thank you!

Yep.
Very nice.
For me, Gilmour was always at his best when he constructed really spare solos - not a note too many or too few. Another Brick in the Wall is a good example; the best though is his opening salvo on "Shine On..." - all the lovely, layered synth like a great vaulted cathedral and then Dave G's guitar right in your earhole - at 2 mins 10 here:
this is pretty good...another stick your cans on and don't get disturbed !
Great that they could draft in Karl Marx on the accordion!
lol yes ! I strangely liked it !
Awesome. But didn't I say on another Pink Floyd thread that Gilmour plays like he's not even trying, & that 'Sorrow' was one of my fave all time tracks.
Gilmour may be not the 'best' guitarist in the world (& It's all a matter of opinion) but he always just sounds 'right', (bit like Chris Rea, whom I also rate)
Gig = Gilmour is God (not Eric, but he's good as well)
Apologies for the quotations & brackets. (hic)
just been listening to delicate sound of thunder (now watching lemmy film on bbc4).
he is one of my fav guitarists (in my top 3 list).just a fantastic/emotional player 😀
Something of interest here mebbe? I remember watching this when I was 20 & thinking, 'Hmm...should've joined the navy.

Very much so. Terribly English isn't it!?
"Children again, on rusty swings getting higher. Sharing a dream on an island."
If you enjoy Gilmour then it's also worth listening to Robin Trower, another fine craftsman on the Strat 8)
Very much so. Terribly English isn't it!?"Children again, on rusty swings getting higher. Sharing a dream on an island."
I was going to suggest that it was terribly [i]British[/i], but then realised the lyrics woud probably be different for Scotland..
"Children again, using rusty syringes getting higher. Sharing a bottle of Buckfast on an island."

Paul Kossof of Free was very much the same; could pretty much make a solo out of a couple of sustained notes. Tragic loss to music, was Koss. 🙁
