Hmm what takes more talent: Playing 40 notes a minute or inventing just about every enhanced guitar playing technique there is? I'll go with the latter. I'm sure i could find plenty of guitarists that could play a pink floyd song and i'm pretty sure if i gave those same guitarists sheet music of one of eddie's more complex songs they would say "WTF is this?"
David Gilmour makes every note count. His tone is superb. It is a matter of preference. Some people love the Malmsteems and Eddie's of the world and fast as hell guitar playing. But it truly means little to me. I prefer great tone. David Gilmour, SRV, Mike Henderson. Roy Buchanan is the most underrated guitarist IMO. CC though for the convo.
I just can't stand their slow tempo if i'm riding in a car with somebody and they have that shit playing, i'm out in like 5 minutes. Don't get me wrong i like some classic rock and all that stuff too but i just can't get into pink floyd. Being around a bunch of stoned people who are constantly saying stuff along the lines of "How can you hate pink floyd maaaaaaaan They'reeeeeee like the best band everrrrrrrrrrr" Probably adds to my dislike of them but hey if you like it go for it.
