What do you think of the guitar solo from Jeff Beck
in "What God Wants, Part 3"
it sounds almost like a Gilmour solo to me.

Yeah....the closest to Gilmour's style of playing on ATD. In fact the song, as a whole, has the most "Floydian" elements of any of the songs from the record......

Jeff Beck nearly always sounds unique to me. He is one of those guitarists that have a signature sound and style that can be easily recognized or someone must really try hard to duplicate. Some guitarist spend years on the ability to play and then spend tears on the sound they want to play.
Gilmour is much more subtle with his use of vibrato, note bending and tremelo, I thinhk. Beck is more often than not, not as subtle.

Yeah. Jeff Beck is uniquely 'Beckian'. No one else really sounds like him. A lot of his sound is due to playing without a pic. He does all that soloing with his thumb(and other fingers). He can also play whole phrases with one pluck and amazing control of his tremolo bar (the whammy bar). That's very different from what Dave does. Not neccessarily better, just different.

Incidentally, is the solo on What God Wants part 1 a slide guitar or just a normal guitar? At some places it sounds like a slide but sometimes not, and I can't make up my mind.
