David Gilmour is living proof that you don't have to spit out a million notes per second to be a great guitarist. Is he the most gifted guitar player ever? No, probably not, but is he the best guitar player ever? Absolutely.

Thank you for your love and support that has brought me this far. It was a difficult time for me, but your support made me stop even in difficult times. Cannot appreciate the support enough from fans who prayed for me and I say hello to you on my KZbin channel. Write to me via hangout or email @[e-mail]

[@yestim]

​@@davidgilmour1046 I am sorry you had a difficult time. Your guitar playing and singing keep inspiring me. They create a calm, warm, strong, confident, upbeat mindset in me whenever I listen to them. Your music feels like encouraging advice from an experienced friend. Live At Pompeii 2016 and Dark Side of The Moon actually inspired me to get a Strat, Pro Bass, keyboard, mics and mixing equipment during the Covid lockdown and start experimenting. This has significantly expanded my joy in music playing on top of the improvised rock and classical sheet music that I have been playing on the piano for many years. My children and entire family have started to experiment on the additional instruments. This has turned the lockdown into a surprisingly positive experience for us. I would like to thank you for this positive inspiration on our lives. Hopefully this feedback can transport some positive inspiration back from us to you.

I honestly have no words for how his playing affects me, it’s almost like a drug flashback, I feel almost stoned. David’s playing affects my brain in a very similar way, I get both Euphoria and a feeling of deep relaxation at the same time, it’s a drug I never want to quit.

[@2503Mugho]

I did have that chance. 🙂 His Holiness the Dalai Lama was giving a talk at Alexandra Palace and David Gilmour had donated his time to play at the outside stage that was setup for the occasion. I saw him and walked to the stage. He had just finished playing and I noticed that there were quite a few people trying to grab him and trying to talk to him. I thought he needs his space and I didn’t want to bother him. But he was very nice and happy to be there.

On 20 June 2019, Gilmour auctioned 120 of his guitars for charity, at Christie's in New York, including his Black Strat, his #0001 and early 1954 Stratocasters, and his 1955 Les Paul. The Black Strat sold for $3,975,000, making it the most expensive guitar ever sold at auction. The auction raised $21,490,750, with the proceeds going to the environmentalist charity ClientEarth.

I would have to agree

[@עידופלס-ח1פ]

Agreed, there is no another musician or a guitarist like David Gilmour. he's sound is so unique and special, he's playing is just not from this world, he's solos are overwhelming and emotional, he can melt your heart with 4 notes, and you don't need to talk about he's phrasing and composing on guitar and on general. Just listen to whole of the division bell, sorrow, on the turning away, whole of meddle (especially to fearless, one of these days and of course echoes), fat old sun, breathe, time, wish you were, shine on (all of the parts), run like hell, cry from the street, no way out of here (yeah I know it's a cover), no way, raise my rent, murder, smile, where we start, on an island, rattle that lock, in any tongue, 5 A.m, and so much more, and of course one of the greatest rock masterpieces that this man stands behind comfortably numb, and you'll understand why he's a musical genius and he's the best ever.

Really enjoyed this VIDEO. Always liked his genius creativity. I am not a musician however I have knowledge of electronics and dabble in guitars occasionally. I have been in electronics for forty five plus years. I am wondering why he says that 'distortion is hard to make'. Maybe I am missing something? I know of some relatively easy ways of generating distortion, specifically in a mix of 'old school and new school technologies. He talks of the long road of the actual creation of those sounds and how they have been dismantled over the years. I would really enjoy the opportunity to re-create those sounds exactly as they were. That is.... the 'old school' method of designing electronic circuits. Very likely a time consuming task. Wish I had his musical talents.
