David Gilmour, Pink Floyd
“He drove Pink Floyd. Comfortably Numb is a great solo. Could lay down a nice riff.”
“He is one of the most underappreciated guitarists of all time. His work ranges from some of the greatest solos of all time, such as in "Comfortably Numb," "Another Brick in the Wall Part 2," and "Time," to the most imaginative and beautiful music ever composed, such as in "Shine on You Crazy Diamond" and "Wish You Were Here." His stuff is timeless.”
“the best the best the best”
“His creativity knows no bounds! The only guitarist I feel that can place his heart on the guitar strings and strum away his soul. Listen to his end solo of Comfortably Numb on the Pulse tour and the tingles will run up your spine!”
“The Comfortably Numb solo is the greatest solo of all time”
“Daivid is one of the few that puts his heart into his music. Listen to PULSE and you'll know what i mean.”
“LISTEN AND WATCH the PULSE TOUR DVD COMING BACK TO LIFE SONG,YOU WILL BE IN AWE.LETS GIVE DAVID GILMOUR THE PRESPECT HE DESEVES, HE PLAYS LITERALLY THROUGH HIS SOLE.”
“when u listen to 'the division bell , its like floating in his sound”
“Simply the most melodic soloist ever”
“No one could play the guitar with creativity in using the tremolo like Gilmour. He can send you on a journey of imagination and then make you pump your fists in the same song. He'd be in my top ten.”
“His Incredible bend strings and riffs dont need to be fast to be very impreesive
”
“Ok something must be wrong if David Gilmour is not up in the top 3... and what the hell is up with all the other great guitarists in like 11 spots?”
“The best guitarist, who is in the best band”
“Best guitarists ever, love them solos”
“Gilmour has always been my favourite guitarist. He is not a virtuoso player, but talk about innovations with the instrument and david gilmour would definitely figure in the top ten guitarists of all time. But the one thing that sets him apart from others is his clarity of speech while speaking through the guitar. Just listen to the Division Bell start to end in one go. Gilmour's compositions on the guitar are truly timeless.”
“I love his solo in Time. He's a really good guitarist”
“should be at least in the top ten, he plays with passion and he is so creative, and is also an amazing vocalist. apparently to many people voting on this list care about how fast the person can play and not about their true talent. any good guitarist can shred, but not every good guitarist can create a clear, pure sound that sends shivers down your spine like guilmour, clapton, santana, or hendrix
wanted to vote for alex lifeson too he is so underrated just listen to yyz by rush”
“The best guitarist in the world. No one can out play you David! Pink Floyd Rocks!”
“The cleanest and most melodic player I have ever heard, with the possible exception of Santana. He is a true professional, but with the complete lack of any mechanical feeling. His solos seem to flow from his instrument, sometimes with the serenity of a rolling stream, sometimes with the power of a landslide. Listen to "Shine on You Crazy Diamond Pt. 1-5" and you'll hear both.”
“Gilmour should higher, like number 3 or 4....”
“Easily my favorite guitarist. Maybe not the best speed wise or technique wise, but his riffs and solos are among some of the most popular”
“The solo towards the end of Echoes is breath-taking.”
“Prince over david Gilmore, whatever, Comfortably Numb "LIVE" is the greatest solo of all time.”
“Just about every other song has an amazing solo. Creative brilliance.”
“Gilmour should definitely be in the Top Ten. The man plays like a God.”
“If cool weighed more in evaluation, he would be rated higher. His solos are smooth and edgy at the same time and that is a rare talent.”
“The Pulse album was beautiful. His new solo stuff like On An Island is great too. I can listen to The Blue all day.”
“By far the best guitarist ever. He is just so great. It literally makes me feel things I never thought I could feel when he plays.”
“Sings with his guitar... great man”
“best solo ever: comfortably numb”
“He is the best, from the best band, no comments...”
“When we are talking about all aspects of a guitar combined, David Gilmour comes on top. He can do anything that he wishes with a guitar.”
“The greatest guitarist of all time, to say he is 1000 times better than any Avenged Sevenfold, buckethead, Red hot chili peppers would be an understatement. Passionate, creative, interesting.”
“It's hilarious seeing all these guitarists WAYYY before #1”
“David Gilmour is great! His playing is bluesy, but it has that cool spacey sound as well. He is very experimental. Experimenting always results in HITS. One of a kind.”
