[@LaurieWisti-go3yr]

​@@RonJakaTBIManI'm in the same situation. I'm in a nursing home and some of the nurses and aides treat you like💩. Pink Floyd and David Gilmore always makes me feel good.

[@nickgreen4731]

I never appreciated the importance of *touch* in guitar playing until I took it up myself. It is one of the hardest things to master. Playing lots of notes fast is a piece of cake, compared to playing ONE note amazingly well. There is something unique in David's fingers and their connection to his brain - they are like vocal cords, with all the expression and control of a human singing voice. That's what makes him so special and one of the greats.

[@glensmith9072]

That is one of the best descriptions of Gilmore's guitar playing. Well done

[@bwphotographer3484]

His wife once said the most beautiful thing ever about David Gilmour: “David isn’t any good about sharing and expressing his feelings. But give him a guitar and he plays those feelings for you…”

Literally been hypnotized by David's guitar since first heard him play, I'm 67 now and still hypnotized every time I listen to Pink Floyd, what a master.

[@michaelkirkpatrick7483]

My first exposure to Floyd was the album Meddle in 1971. I was immediately blown away by Echoes. What a great start to a journey of listening to Gilmour's guitar masterpieces for years afterwards. There are a lot of amazing guitarists, but for me, no one compares to Mr. Gilmour.

[@jonthebru]

Pretty amazing actually. David Gilmour has such a great touch and sound, and the amount of creative quality work he has done is downright incredible!

[@flibblejix5388]

The penultimate clip is from Pink Floyd's 1994 show at the New Orleans Superdome. I was there for this concert. "Comfortably Numb" was the final song they played. One of the greatest performances I've ever had the privilege to be a part of.

[@UlexiteTVStoneLexite]

I learned all of time on guitar, it's my favourite out of the lot, he's got so much melody, unique

[@zoocru67]

I just finally learned it also, a dream of mine since the first "time" I ever heard it. I can remember sitting with the seat back in my 260Z with a kick ass stereo with a buddy on a moonlit night and saying just lay back close your eyes and listen to this song and solo. I remember him saying, wow dude, incredible song. I can just close my eyes and drift away listening to this song and solo. Such an incredible artist, truly a gift to be able to listen to his body of work.

[@user-rd4zu7qh7i]

Даже когда Дэвид уронил медиатор на одном из концертов,никто и не заметил как он пальцами доиграл коипозицию,брава Дэвид,ты великолепен!😊

1 van de allerbesten en wat een sound nog steeds, kippevelmomenten. Vooral Comfortably Numb zo'n beetje de allerbeste guitarsolo vooral live.

[@kenjude1]

Good to see Fat Old Sun in the list. I love it because it’s not a “normal” Gilmour solo.

[@martykehoe8510]

Not only is it "not normal" for him, it's his best solo of them all. I prefer the studio solo than the live version, but the live is incredible as well.

[@paulhester8086]

@Marty Kehoe the live FOS solo from I think September 30, 1971 has to tie anyone's favorite DG solo for 1st place IMO. Actually all four of the boys were in the groove that night with FOS, OOTD and ECHOES. Very tight. They were really ON that night. My favorite performance. David really soars!

[@Gunners_Mate_Guns]

@@paulhester8086 I personally love how he did it on 17OCT71 at San Diego. Pink Floyd even copyrighted this bootleg recording, so now you can get it through legit channels.

[@KimBioni]

The slide part from shine on you crazy diamond is my favorite part, i love how it sounds.

[@jbjacobs9514]

It is so different from some of the other versions - a younger, more aggressive Gilmour on that one. Shine On is my fave song of all time, not just Floyd fave - I never get tired of it! So glad to get yet another version. Loved the quietness of Marooned here too! Mustafa always brings the best David to us!

[@zoocru67]

Such a sad song considering it's about syd and how he looked that day in the studio, with David and Roger not even recognizing him. So sad. But what an incredible song

[@patrickcollins7407]

Bravo and a great job !! I have been a PF fan since 1975 and have seen them 7 times. My tutor at Cambridge was at school with David and Syd..... Your selection is tremendous.....great job Mustafa!

[@graham9881]

Sorry beat you by one year Patrick but similar story. When DSOM came out the music teacher would play a track at the end of each music lesson. A subsequent school trip was arranged to see Pink Floyd at Empire Pool Wembley Thursday 14 November 1974. And the rest as they say is history. We are both lucky to have discovered them at that time and to have tutors/teachers who shared their love of PF.

[@jspic4907]

OMG. That final counterpoint with Rick…. I tried not to cry but I had to. Thank you.

[@leandronolascoferreira4542]

I've opened big smiles and drop some tears with your compilation... Just amazing! My soul was in wonder, it's a refreshment somehow I can't explain... This one guy is so talented guitar player... The emotions which he can cause in who are listening are so strong and undescribeble... It's like to dialog with God somehow... I belive if one guitar player can be celestial, the one is David Gilmour... He's definely touched by God. Thank you for doing this sensational compilation and for sharing with us.

[@leandronolascoferreira4542]

Another thing you all could have noticed: The way like Richard Wright (a brilliant keyboard/piano player and musician) was looking to David in various moments of various recorded videos... He really was enjoying and admiring the ability and gifts of his friend - and also they all have done too.

[@victortitan2905]

comfortably numb in new orleans is perfect

[@SMT729]

If you haven't already, go watch Comfortably Numb in Pompeii ! He is truly a something special.

[@user-yx4qi9yu8b]

Pink Floyds music felt like a companion friend to my spirits heart and soul . We traveled as comrades, facing unknown battles together with some hurling us up to great unearthly heights, while others plummeting us down to terrifying heavy lows . Finally and truly exhausted , we found our scrappy spirits slowly descending upon a "magnificently prepared" Grantchester Meadows to rest while binding up our wounds until our next journey.

[@shecaso]

Thank you for doing this tribute video ❤❤❤❤

[@JoselitoLittaua]

One of the greatest guitarist

[@ThirdRail7]

I'll probably take a hit for this, but a few of my top favorite David Gilmour solos aren't in the Pink Floyd catalogue. Check out his solo on the song "Breakthrough" with Richard Wright at the Royal Hall concert. Additionally, the solo on the song "No Way" is up there. However, my favorite solo comes from a song that I always loved but only recently found out David Gilmour played the guitar solo. Check out "Is Your Love Strong Enough?" by Bryan Ferry. The song was featured in the movie "Legend." It is short, to the point and really captures the mood.

[@mattbandfield]

At some point in the early 1970’s David was plugging in his guitar chord and missed the input jack of the guitar and plugged it directly into his soul.
