Favorite guitarist who played with Gilmour ?
I'm just putting here the guitarists who played with Gilmour for a tour, not just for a simple show. But there's an "other" option in the poll : just precise who and when :)

It's "guitarists who played with Gilmour", not "Gilmour who played with guitarists", so only performances of Floyd or Gilmour songs or jams count.

You have to choose the guitarist for the songs he played with Gilmour, not for his solo career (how great or bad it may be for you).


I voted for Mick Ralphs, because he was just wonderful during the About Face tour, especially with his awesome solos in Near the End (just find some bootlegs if you've never heard it)

RE: Favorite guitarist who played with Gilmour ?
I agree, plus his other work is great! I'm a huge Mott The Hoople and Bad Company fan as well.

And now the final solution can be applied.

RE: Favorite guitarist who played with Gilmour ?
I've always liked what Phil Manzanera has done, even though I think he was better with Roxy Music and Brian Eno than with Gilmour. Still, he's a good guitarist.

I know I believe in nothing but it is my nothing

I, too, am a Manzanera fan. A very elegant guitarist, very smooth. I think he suites Gilmour very well.

Not a tour, but I believe they were recording Smoke on the Water together...Brian May.

Snowy. He and Gilmour play so differently, but he still sounds just as 'Floyd' as Gilmour does.

In a way. He was with them for both the In The Flesh tour, and The Wall shows. After that, Roger left the band, and unfortunately, Snowy went with him. He's arguably one of the highlights of a Roger Waters solo show, however, and has been with him for most of his tours.
