I agree. For example lets say we start by comparing Dave to Edward Van Halen? Whose to say one is better then the other. Both have different styles and use their guitars to different use. It's like comparing chalk and cheese. Dave probably couldn't do fret work that Ed did, while Ed probably couldn't make a...well...a Dave sounding guitar.


He probably couldn't make the instrument TALK the way that Mr. Gilmour does. One could almost imagine that there are words implied in the playing...it sometimes has a weirdly voicelike quality.

Mr. Wright, too, does an excellent job of pure EXPRESSIVENESS in the instrument--and THAT is what makes him good.
