Will watch that later. Fabulous guitarist. So.......effortless.

Anyone a fan of 'on an island'? I really like it, in an understated way.

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.

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:

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)

Very much so. Terribly English isn't it!?

If you enjoy Gilmour then it's also worth listening to Robin Trower, another fine craftsman on the Strat 8)

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. 🙁
