David Gilmour

Let's start with the basics: no one is as good as David Gilmour. This legendary guitarist, the architect of Pink Floyd's incredible success, has taken his Fender through the ages to pave the way for flights beyond reach. But should we still introduce this man of mad genius?

Each melody is meticulously cut, each appearance perfectly calibrated. David Gilmour embodies perfection. With white hair and black clothes, the guitarist, world-famous for taking Pink Floyd to stratospheric heights, hasn't lost a single ounce of his superb. The stage is his recreation, the studio his playground. Leaving the past to rest in peace, this exceptional artist, a great philanthropist in his spare time, now focuses on the present, drawing a line, suspiciously deliberately, on the adventure of his life.

From now on, it is time for his epic in solitude. Discreet by nature, and far from his farm in the south of England, David Gilmour impresses with his extraordinary technical skills and his velvety voice. Here, there's no talking about it. The master of Grantchester tunes his Stratocaster to propel, with finesse and precision, his deepest convictions and reflections. Carried by his wife Polly Samson, with whom he writes most of his lyrics, David Gilmour refines, album after album, the contours of his legend.

For if he has revolutionised contemporary music, making the strings dance in a very personal style, the natural heir of Pete Seeger and Hank Marvin does not rest on his laurels. Aerial solos, supra-aesthetic choruses, psychedelic rhythms: the dosage is on a first-name basis to build a music lover's paradise. Let's repeat it over and over again, David Gilmour, giant among giants, is the quintessence of excellence.
