In most other instruments, true skill is measured by things like tone, phrasing, melody, emotion, precision, etc. In most of those categories, David excels. Your average hack pop-metal guitarist can probably play faster than him, but who cares? At the end of the day, can you even remember their solos?
Well said. You are a legend, mabewa, you really are. Look forward to seeing more posts from you!

**** yer thats so true,

a good guitar solo has beauty,complexity,sophistication,soul,emotion,drama, thus you have david gilmour.

bout time DG tops a guitar poll, "dogs" is ****** amazing, every solo in that is gut wrenchin, its just like "fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck" blows me away everytime.

Quote:Gilmour wasnt as "fast" as jimmy page on the guitar some say but i think he is the best of all time. page,hendrix etc all great but i like gilmours slow-signature style. and he tops everyone in solos

I think Gilmour is one of the best probably the best at solos but Page is probably the best of all time just look at his overall skill. Guitarists like Hendrix just used alot of pedals and is considered the best...when people like Gilmour used actual talent and cant even be seen on the top 50 greatest guitarists by major magazines like Rolling Stone.

Congrats David Gilmour.

(Even though most major guitarists like Page and Hendrix used Gibsons and not Fenders)

everything u just said was absolutely wrong....(not that gilmour isn't the best but all the facts about Hendrix and Page with the guitars and pedals is all absolute bull, don't talk about stuff u hav no clue about, by the way u said hendrix used alot of pedals... he had a vox wah wah, fuzz face and a univibe volume pedal that all he used on the other hand gilmour used dozens of differents pedal i don't feel like naming them becuz theres way too much. Also wen u said that hendrix and page used only gibson's ur completely wrong again, page's signature guitar was the les paul but he also used a fender tele on zeppelin 1 and on the recorded version of stairway to heaven, and hendrix used Fender strats ALLL THE TIME!!!!!!!! theres like 2 times that he used a sg, flying v and a les paul but other than that he ALWAYS had a strat. and last but not least i bet u never touched a guitar in ur life.) hammers

I disagree that he's the best, but he is definately underrated and I'm glad he's getting some good recognition.

I also disagree, there are better guitarists, but David is good

The biggest one of all is of course, Jimi Hendrix. He completely revolutionized the electric guitar and brought the instrument to new heights. No one could play like him.

Frank Zappa was an incredible guitarist.

I dont think its a case of who's better, its a case of who you prefer more stylistically to who you will say is better. Clapton has the skills but then can't make the same sounds as well as dave and dave does not usually play as fast as clapton, this is applied to all other guitarists vicer-versing the cases.

I prefer dave to clapton becasue i like the tone of daves guitar playing and the melodies he produces over clapton, so I think he is a better guitarist than him....
