Overrated? IMPOSSIBLE. ❤️❤️❤️❤️🎸🎸🎸🎸

Overated??? Hell no!

Don't have to play at 100 miles an hour to be a good guitarist, this man plays with true passion, and feels the music he plays

Some people play guitar. Gilmour makes them weep.

No David Gilmour is not overrated. KZfaq and KZfaqrs are overrated.

He is one of the few guitarist who’s music you can feel. The sounds coming from his guitar give you different emotions. He is one of the only people that can tell a story with his guitar.

The lap solo in High Hopes is beyond incredible. There is no way to describe its beauty and emotion.

Legends are never called overrated!

I listened to “Comfortably Numb” today and it made the hairs on my arms and neck stand and brought me to tears, like it always has from the first time I heard it. THE GREATEST guitar solo ever!🙏🙏 You can feel his soul pouring out through his guitar

As many absolutely fantastic guitarists as there are in rock and roll, David Gilmore tops them all!

What I love about David's solo, that they never are (like many other guitarist's) ego trips.

He doesn't play guitar, he just makes his guitar sings beautifuly 🏆

David Gilmour Legend 🙏❤

His vibrato is phenomenal

echoes solo gives me chills

He can make you FEEL what he is saying through strings. That's a different kind of Talent. 😊

Definitely not overrated,

From Dark side of the moon to On an Island his solos and chord progressions are brilliant, original, perfect..I could go on and on.

I saw him live in 2016, and no other guitar player i have ever seen can even come close to the otherworldly sounds he creates with his guitar.

Overrated no! Underrated hell yeah!!!!

He’s one of the greats!

Brilliant! It's one of a kind. Superior. Words can't describe him, his talents or genius.

Definitely NOT over-rated ! It took courage and supreme confidence in himself, to finger his fretboard,with such haunting and goosebump raising,solos,even in the company of other great contemporary, guitar virtuosos. His style, defied speed and " showy" exagerated, flamboyance, which was the forte of his iconic, contemporaries at the time. But David Gilmour,held his own majestically! An unhurried, and a singularly distinct,signature style. One only had to cast a gaze at his face,to see the concentrated passion etched there. The pursed lips,and rock set jaw of studied determination. And the intense gaze, at his fretboard,as he,crafted,the poignant haunting strains,on his instrument. One word ! LEGEND !

David Gilmour and the guitar truly become one entity when the two are together. He is absolutely NOT overrated!!

A guitarist who can feel and play his/her emotions will always be great, even if they never become famous ❤

I love Gilmour, best guitarist ever, where can I listen to the whole reel / program

He is the best guitar player of all time

If anyone said that sentence to me, I’m walking away. There is no point having a conversation with someone who hasn’t bothered to study his work. There are way worse guitarists that are praised more than him, but you never hear him complain about it. He just gets on with it and does what he does best.

Can't be overated if you've created so much unique music

no bull dust here... I can say as a guitarist of 50+ yrs, DG is in a league of his own. For me it's his timing and smoothness in his lead-solos that are so brilliant. He's a genius in my book. Keep going DG...you're a legend.

It’s the notes he doesn’t play that make him incredible. The ability to do so much while at the same time creating wide open spaces in his solos.

The only guitar solos that I get emotional to are David Gilmour’s

It's impossible to replicate the perfection of the way he moves from note to note. He is 1000% feel and soul

His solos tell a story and fit with the dynamics of the song.

His guitar playing evokes strong emotions

It’s incredibly hard to play like him, the finesse and care with each note, he’s been refining his techniques since he started

LOVE HIM! HE SPEAKES TO MY SOUL!

Overrated and David Gilmour could never be in the same sentence, he has a feel most could dream to even come close to replicating 🎧🔥👌

Simply the best . Nothing more needs saying , such a great sound never lets you down .

Obviously everyone here loves his work but he truly is fantastic. He composed during a time of improvisation. Every note choice had purpose no crowd pleasing lightning runs or random moments. pure soul in every single note played. As far as I know he doesn’t have a catchy riff to his name he had a much deeper sense of playing and understanding of his craft. Catchy is quick to like and quick to get bored of, his playing truly is timeless.

Gilmour never tried to shred. But he had touch and expression unparalleled amongst rock guitarists. He also had diverse skills: fingerpicking, slide, lap steel and pedal steel, acoustic 6- and 12-string were all areas where he was strong and an expressive player. Only a handful (e.g. Page, Howe) can say similarly. Both could play much faster than Gilmour but could come nowhere near to his expressivity.

It's the feel and the great melodies. Many people can play this notes, not that hard solos, but not every guy with a guitar can make a huge crowd almost cry!

“ There is a special place in hell for someone who interrupts David Gilmour’s solo” ❤

Overrated no chance,he is brilliant. Coming back to life solo and comfortably numb are the best solo guitar moments in music.🎸🙏

David Gilmore is a legend. A man with great talent. He has inspired me to learn to play guitar. We are blessed to have someone like him.

Also...very handsome 😍

If anything, he's underrated. There is no guitar player who can create sounds so entrancing.

No matter how much you hail him, he remains underrated

He’s a once in a lifetime gift to the world…his talent is unmatched…. Absolute legend & guitar 🎸 genius ❤

The most underrated guitarist ever

Understanding his own music and how it's listened to 😊😊😊

This is what is commonly referred to as click bait. People who are very lonely and fiddle their winkie quite often do things like this.

Pure Heart And Soul 💗 Sound, Energy, And Vibration Of The Spirit 💗🕯️🙏

Dios que bárbaro,es un monstruo,el mejor de todos los tiempos

My favorite guitarist. Comfortably Numb second solo is my favorite all time solo. The first one is also beautiful. The solo in A Great Day for Freedom is an absolute eargasm. I do prefer the live versions. Peace.

Easy answer. No.

I will Always Love David ❤️ 🎸

He’s not just a player, he’s a great composer too !

Not even a little overrated. A magician.

Gilmour is UNDERrated

🌟💫Gilmour es Unico en la historia del Rock!!!!!💖

I never really thought about it, as someone playing an instrument. It's more like music created by the universe

Rome in autumn. And i got tickets😊

I love you and Polly❤🎉 Happy New Year🙏🎶🎵🥁

Ive never heard a guitar player sound anywhere near how david gilmore sounds,definitely a beautiful player and he has found his own sound and way.

He is simply the best ! Technicality plus Soul is very very rare.

Some of the best solos are ones that almost any decent player can play, but could never write.

skills with your hands is one thing but what sets DG apart from most guitarists is the skills in his mind that created masterpiece works of art.

I'm 72 years old and have been listening to him since he hit the airwaves, He's earned his spot in rock guitar history and no way is he over rated. Definitely a Top Shelf hall of fame Guitarist...😎

“What exactly makes him a phenomenal guitar player?” You answered your own question with the clip you immediately show after that question.

if you have to ask, you've got a catalogue to listen to. Lots of brilliant work in there.

It’s not about technic all about creativity and talent. Seen all kind of players throughout my years, they can play yes but thats it.

Possibly the world's stupidest question.

You could say he's the best guitarist of all-time and he still wouldn't be overrated. So, no, he's not overrated as a rock guitarist.

Right notes at the right time with the right feel.

Gilmore has a focus on melodic soloing over technique oriented soloing, and the result is some of the most heart wrenching and evocative guitar solos in the pantheon

You know how with some singers, all you have to hear is one note from them, and you instantly know who it is? That's how David Gilmour's guitar playing is! Others may use same Make & Model, but ONE NOTE from David's hand.... can rip through your heart to your soul, and instantly, you KNOW WHOit is! That Fender of his....I know the sound a Fender has, plenty of musicians in all kinds of Bands use them. David gets sounds out of his that cant be matched, even when copied note for note. He makes whatever instrument he plays...SPEAK, moan, cry, emit anger; Whatever needs to be expressed, he gets that out of objects that are not alive, yet ARE...when he uses them!

Some people are born for certain special reasons. He was born to amaze us with his magic on the strings. Their will never be anyone who can touch his amount of talent.

yes impossible overrated Gilmour is a genuis like the 3 others Pink-Floyd

David Gilmour is famous....Pink Floyd is 😊

Most certainly not!

That incredible part he plays second is the same knockout solo from Echoes, PF live in Pompeii around 72,73. Saw it on big screen cinema around 1975,blew my lights out indeed.

If possible, he is underrated. He is one of the most emotional players that’s ever picked up the guitar. My favorite by a long shot!!!!❤️

Lotta great blues licks with tons of style and feel. Not a shredder but very melodic and soulful. So many memorable solos. Sings great and writes amazing parts!

David just knows how to play the right notes at the right time with the right tone, to complement the music behind him, and the emotions of the song. With Mr. Gilmour, every note counts.

❤ BEST EVER, delivering solos that will span generations! ♥️

his note choices..almost all their song progression incorporates dorian mode, they are so so good in doing that..and he’s and underrated singer too..only people who knows pink floyd knows them..

He’s telling a story a yarn with his style!!!! BOSS🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The guy has musicianship. He doesn't need tapping thing or play at the speed of the light, he knows what melody is and its importance.

I listen to pf and yrs a picture in my head as well as a feeling. some guitarists sound great and look cool. Dave Gilmore gets into your mind. it's as though he knows there's one particular note or chord in the tune you must here. he plays around it teasing you, then hits you with what you've been waiting for and expecting. pure pleasure. there are less people I could name on one hand that can do that over and over again. the man is a genius and a legend.

He has long been Number 1 on my list, due to both skill and the music itself.

S T E L L A R musician and producer and a mighty fine human being.

For me, it’s his feel and note choice. Those two thing combined speak to me far more than speed and technical difficulty

His Comfortably Numb solo is one of my all-time favorites. Truly otherworldly. I have always loved his passion for his craft. A hundred years from now people will be talking about his gift and I'm grateful that I grew up in the 70's. I've never seen him live but that would be an amazing show.

Over rated ? More like not enough Rated ! His vocals and guitar playing is legendary & it gets better as time goes on.

"I might not be the fastest guitarist, but I like to think I'm one of the cleanest." -David Gilmour

Dave proved you don't need speed metal to sound awesome.

True master of the craft. Quality, precision and timing to take one through an emotional journey. Timeless stuff.

Pure brilliance... Not a valid question...❤❤❤

Not a F*cking chance Gilmour is overrated!! He is the Goat!
