hi all
I have read most of this forum part about all the guitar players you guys all admire (well to be honest, only the more recent stuff), yet i have found nothing about one of the most gifted guitarplayer/singer of all times. I speak ofcourse of david gilmour His sense of timing and his ability to express his feeling during his outstanding guitar solo's is really rare. I haven't seen may players of this caliber who come even close ( with the exeption of john petrucci and steve vai). When he starts playing i get chills all over apart from beeing a great guitar player he also has an incredible voice. One that seems to improve instead of decrease over time. a truly unique guitar player in my eyes. What's everybody elses opinion about him? p.s listnen to some of his best work if you haven't already High hopes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlFtmK5Om5o coming back to life https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVdmXmHU7_E |

You'll get no argument from me - he is an amazingly distinctive player, and definitely one of my influences - the stuff he plays, is on the face of it pretty simple, but the expression and nuances he adds makes it anything but - he is in my top 3!
And thanks for the links - I hadn't seen either of them. This post has been edited by Andrew Cockburn: Feb 12 2007, 06:09 PM -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile
