First of all, nothing is ever perfect. If you ever had the privilege to see Pink Floyd live or have ever seen their videos, you know that David's solos were always different. Nobody is ever going to play the exact same thing, and no one person will ever play anything exactly the same twice.

That aside, I learned the solos from Comfortably Numb (my favorite song of all time!), Mother, Another Brick Part 2, and Coming Back to Life a long time ago. My interpretations of them, of course.


I don't know if we can ever say that anyone is "the best guitarist". Gilmour was the best at what he did, but there are a myraid of other awesome players out there.
