David gilmour

If people would like to come to my concerts I'd love them to come. And if they like the music that I make, I love that too. But I do not make music for other people. I make it to please myself.

Well, I am David Gilmour, the voice and guitar of Pink Floyd. I have been since I was 21.

I think I could walk into any music shop anywhere and with a guitar off the rack, a couple of basic pedals and an amp I could sound just like me. There's no devices, customized or otherwise, that give...

Yes, there's a lot of the blues in my playing.

I actually learned the guitar with the help of a Pete Seeger instructional record when I was 13 or 14.

I mean, I have moments of huge frustration because of my inability to express myself linguistically as clearly as I would like to.

I don't want to be a full-time member of Pink Floyd all my life.

I don't like to get too specific about lyrics. It places limitations on them, and spoils the listeners' interpretation.

I am a lover of all sorts of different music. I love blues and every piece of music that I have listened to has become an influence.

The expectation on me as a solo artist is very different to the audience's expectation of a Pink Floyd show.
