My Guitar Hero

<center>David Gilmour


This guitar solo melted my face when I heard it. It's incredible. These are the tabs....I know nothing about guitar. For all I know this is easy to play but it sounds incredible.

I haven't heard every guitarist but I love his style a whole lot.

Asta!!

Gilmour is a personal favorite of mine as well. He is definitly one of the best singer/songwriter/guitar players of the 70's, 80's, and early 90's, hell he has more musical talent and genious then 98% of musician's out there still. 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!!

If you like Gilmour, check out "Murder" from his solo album About Face (a cool song), and "Dogs" from Animals (a long song; lots of guitar solo).

Gilmour is my all time favorite. You put it just right too....He knows when not to play, which is hard for guitarists today.

There is a great DVD about "Dark Side of the Moon" where the band breaks down each song and the engineer plays different parts of the mix and talks about the playing. It's great if you're into how songs are created...

I also reccomend the newest "David Gilmour Live" DVD from last year, as well as "Pulse" and "Live at Pompeii"

Gilmour is pretty damn good.

The solo to Comfortably Numb rocks.

Gilmour kicks major ass in my opinion as well...i liked his work better in the Roger Waters Floyd Days...Animals and Meddle particularly...even the wall (comfortably numb particularly)

gilmour is basically a really good blues guitarist.
i have long had a weak spot for echoes.

but my favorite pink floyd bits are on ummagumma---while i like the gilmour track there (the narrow way, i think...), but the best are the rick wright tracks (cant remember the titles).
listening to them makes you wonder why he chose cruise control for so much of the floyd's ride. i mean i see that there is a charm to not working terribly hard and getting very very rich--but if you can play like **that* then why would you?
wandering away from the topic i know, but there we are.

"but the best are the rick wright tracks (cant remember the titles).

Wright had a lot of problems that are well documented. During the recording of The Wall, he was in the middle of a marriage breakup and was hitting the cocaine heavily. It was either him or the project, according to a lot of sources. Wright went, but on the tour, was hired back to play keyboards. Interestingly, he was the only PF'er to make money, as he was paid a straight musicians scale.

I agree about the fusion of Waters and Gilmour. I think that Gilmour has suffered more without Waters, than vice versa. But Listening to a live boot of The Wall, the genious of ... numb is the guitar solo.

As Roachboy said, Gilmour is a blues man. His playing reminds me of Robin Trower, except toned down a bit.

For all you Comfortably Numb fans, you'll want to check out live versions of the song. I have a bootleg recorded in Italy that has a 12 min version of the song, with a very extended solo. I melt when I hear it....

^ I know I was enfuriated by that list. Van Halen was 76, Jack White was like 17 (what?) and Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Yngwie Malmsteen (sp?), Peter Frampton, Prince, Slash, Mike Mcreedy, etc. are no where to be found on the list.

I wasn't on the list either but had I been, I can assure you I would have been a little higher than # 17.
