“David Gilmour is my favorite guitarist,” producer Bob Ezrin shares with Guitar Player. “It’s true; I admire his artistry. What sets him apart for me is the blend of beauty, dignity, power, and memorability he brings every time he plays. I’ve mentioned before that if you handed him a ukulele and a Pignose amp, he’d still make it sound like the solo in ‘Comfortably Numb.’ He has a unique ability to draw out incredible sound from a guitar.”
“The soaring melodic tone inspires me to search for the right notes and play from the heart,” Steve Morse said in a tribute to Gilmour in Guitar Player’s November 2024 issue. “I’ve had the privilege of working with Pink Floyd producer Bob Ezrin on several projects, and he often jokes with me when I struggle to find a solo he likes. He’ll say, ‘Gilmour recorded the solo for ‘Learning to Fly’ in one take on a small practice amp,’ which always leads to my usual response about how not everyone can be David Gilmour!”
