Luckily we do differ in our opinions, and therefore provide a different perspective with our favourites. Each to their won.

One of my absolute favourite Floyd tracks. Both guitar solos are stunning, and to me almost tell the lyrics of the song in music form. One of the best solos ever in history imo.
Gilmour was never a fast guitarist (I hate fast guitaring anyway - always sounds just messy to me) - but the way he plays always has "feeling". Almost emotional guitaring.

The instrumental section of 'Money' is awesome.As a 13 year old adolescent, I was positively rampant after just a glimpse bud...

Horses for courses, Gilmour is master of what he does, and boy does he do it well, but, in literal terms, probably by his own admission, is not a virtuoso.There are a few virtuosos out there, but, it is questionable whether you listen to them for musical quality, bit like being a sorcerer's apprentice, Shock and Awe.
