Yeah it's a tough choice, I don't know yet.
Btw, choose your favourite solo of there are more in one song (for example for shine on or dogs). |

Dogs is the better solo but nothing speaks to me more than Echoes.

Hard to pick one over the other but for today I'll go with Pigs. I do prefer the live version that I've got, but the original is also quite a beautiful piece of butter guitar.

Comfortably Numb, but the fading off final of Fat Old Sun is one of his bests.

But every listed track is great. Echoes is my all-time favorite Floyd song followed by Atom.

Sheezus........
.......every time this guy touches a guitar, it's magic. I always love what he does on Raise My Rent, but really impossible to pick. He does some great solos on Atomic Rooster's Headline News album (from '84). Generally, his tone is PERFECT. Thinking about it, there's not one single solo from him I dislike. Another Brick II would possibly be his definitive solo for me......... |

Ahhh... No excitement about Money?!?!
 I like the dynamics in the solo and the spacey feel at certain points.

No votes for High Hopes yet? Well, I'll have to give it the first one then. Though it is actually a bit difficult to choose between several of them.

It's impossible to pick. If someone asks me my top 10 favorite guitar solos, 6 or 7 are Gilmour's. I'll try to make a top 10.
1-Time 2-Comfortably Numb 3-Pigs 4-High Hopes 5-Echoes 6-Shine on you Crazy Diamond 7-Mother 8-Castellorizon 9-Dogs 10-Money |

The guitar work that starts around 5:30 on Dogs is one of my favourite musical moments. PERFECT!
Anyway all of them are absolutely magic. Edited by aliano - December 23 2015 at 07:47 |
