As a guitarist myself for nearly 50 years I have always admired David Gilmour's expression through his playing. It's an eye-closing, transcendental journey through a sonic landscape. I remember in my teens, reading some guitar magazine where in the interview Dave was asked if he could play " really fast ". His response, " I suppose if you sped up the tape" has stuck with me all these years. That interviewer had no clue really. David Gilmour is beyond comparison and tops my list.

His guitar playing evokes strong emotions

I like the ego trips description

Listen, I'm a guitarist, and I know from experience that if you are feeling moved by playing, in your heart and soul and all the way down to your feet. The audience is going to feel it, too. David Gilmore has the technique and skill that when he plays from his heart, which he does so well, it will penetrate you just the same - if you're paying attention! I went into a solo once, and from the first notes, the audience let out a collective sound and literally stood up higher and reached for the ceiling! That was phenomenal. The power of music 🎶 to move us, because we are made from the same vibrations. 🎉 Pink Floyd and David Gilmore rule! 🎸 🎹 🥁

Possibly the world's stupidest question.

I listened to “Comfortably Numb” today and it made the hairs on my arms and neck stand and brought me to tears, like it always has from the first time I heard it. THE GREATEST guitar solo ever!🙏🙏 You can feel his soul pouring out through his guitar

Gilmour is UNDERrated

David Gilmour Legend 🙏❤

Definitely NOT over-rated ! It took courage and supreme confidence in himself, to finger his fretboard,with such haunting and goosebump raising,solos,even in the company of other great contemporary, guitar virtuosos. His style, defied speed and " showy" exagerated, flamboyance, which was the forte of his iconic, contemporaries at the time. But David Gilmour,held his own majestically! An unhurried, and a singularly distinct,signature style. One only had to cast a gaze at his face,to see the concentrated passion etched there. The pursed lips,and rock set jaw of studied determination. And the intense gaze, at his fretboard,as he,crafted,the poignant haunting strains,on his instrument. One word ! LEGEND !

I listen to pf and yrs a picture in my head as well as a feeling. some guitarists sound great and look cool. Dave Gilmore gets into your mind. it's as though he knows there's one particular note or chord in the tune you must here. he plays around it teasing you, then hits you with what you've been waiting for and expecting. pure pleasure. there are less people I could name on one hand that can do that over and over again. the man is a genius and a legend.

David's great talent is not doing solos with millions of notes in one bar, abusing speed and exibition. What makes David one of the greatest of all time is the use of his technique to convey feeling through melodies that touch the soul. He is a master of sensitivity, viscerality, musical beauty and the feeling transmitted in the form of sound. For me, Comfortably Numb's solo is the most beautiful ever played. David is one of the gods at Guitar Olympo.

Definitely not overrated,

If anyone said that sentence to me, I’m walking away. There is no point having a conversation with someone who hasn’t bothered to study his work. There are way worse guitarists that are praised more than him, but you never hear him complain about it. He just gets on with it and does what he does best.

“What exactly makes him a phenomenal guitar player?” You answered your own question with the clip you immediately show after that question.

These so called experts who say he is over rated simply don't understand music. This man touches your soul with his guitar.

echoes solo gives me chills

His solos tell a story and fit with the dynamics of the song.

I've seen Floyd many times and Gilmore , Randy Rhoads, Clapton, So many Great players Gilmore's the #1 I have mellowed even his Sax Playing on under a blood red sky is immaculate ♥️

Lotta great blues licks with tons of style and feel. Not a shredder but very melodic and soulful. So many memorable solos. Sings great and writes amazing parts!

I absolutely love the black version. Having no idea of its existence until I saw it in the window of a jeweller today, I fell in love immediately with the aesthetics, especially the combination of colours on the face and in the handset, and with the shape of the case, and the perfect diameter if the face. I was pleasantly surprised by the price and took only seconds to choose to go ahead.

Obviously everyone here loves his work but he truly is fantastic. He composed during a time of improvisation. Every note choice had purpose no crowd pleasing lightning runs or random moments. pure soul in every single note played. As far as I know he doesn’t have a catchy riff to his name he had a much deeper sense of playing and understanding of his craft. Catchy is quick to like and quick to get bored of, his playing truly is timeless.

It's impossible to replicate the perfection of the way he moves from note to note. He is 1000% feel and soul

Not overated... he's iconic!

He is giuonis musician, he changed music to different awesome beautiful crazy music🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️💯🎸🎸🎸👑👑👑

It’s incredibly hard to play like him, the finesse and care with each note, he’s been refining his techniques since he started

Can't be overated if you've created so much unique music

His Comfortably Numb solo is one of my all-time favorites. Truly otherworldly. I have always loved his passion for his craft. A hundred years from now people will be talking about his gift and I'm grateful that I grew up in the 70's. I've never seen him live but that would be an amazing show.

If you have any sensibility at all you will know that he is a gift from God, Nobody can touch that spot in your soul like David Gilmore✌️✌️✌️

Gilmour never tried to shred. But he had touch and expression unparalleled amongst rock guitarists. He also had diverse skills: fingerpicking, slide, lap steel and pedal steel, acoustic 6- and 12-string were all areas where he was strong and an expressive player. Only a handful (e.g. Page, Howe) can say similarly. Both could play much faster than Gilmour but could come nowhere near to his expressivity.

someone who can consistently make you feel things. Doesn't need to be a technical wizard. It just needs to resonate so profoundly with the human soul. So he will always be a legend. 🤔

If anything, he's underrated. There is no guitar player who can create sounds so entrancing.

No matter how much you hail him, he remains underrated

David is the GOAT of his hard to define genre. He didn't box himself into melodic scales, but broke rules, and went for FEEL. He was/is absolutely innovative, like Hendrix, and now we just accept it because his music is so ubiquitous.
