What makes him better then other guitar players of his era, Gilmour could kill all of his shit live. Gilmour's strength isn't that he is so great on a technical level, it's just that his style is very melodic and dead on, he plays every note as it should be played.
The thing however that made Gilmour best, that made him the musician that he was, was Pink Floyd as a whole. If it weren't for Roger Water's and his amazing skills for writing songs and lyrics Gilmour would probably never be.

YES! Exactly..... (I think I set up that song link wrong. One a you'z smart mod guys should edit it for me
) But my favorite thing about him is that he realizes that less can be more. Rather than play 22 or 30 speedy chords n notes he just holds 2 or 3 and bends em at just the right moment.....well shit if I ever get a guitar and learn how to play I'm not gonna stop trying until I can learn how to play some a his songs....hopefully some day I can learn to play like that. Too bad I'm poor and 20, time is runnin out.
Asta!!
