Hey - all you guitar players...specially you Stratman and Fulghum...
I know this has probably been covered elsewhere, but since we have a clean forum topic...
What makes BDG so damn good?
I am not a guitar player (other than the dozen or so chords I know and can play on my cheap acoustic guitar), but there is something about Gilmour's style that is just f@*kin' incredible.
To my appreciative, but untrained ear - he has the phrasing, command of bends, and tone that is second to none. He's not fast or flashy, but he can bring me to tears with just a few notes. Every time I hear the DSoT version of SOYCD, or the album version of Dogs, or the BBC or Pompeii versions of Echoes - it re-inforces my love of that guy - and why BDG is tops in my book.
So what is it, guitar players, that makes David Gilmour so great?
