Well, keep them away from me.
I think a guitar solo is how my emotion is most freely released, because verbal articulation isn't my strongest communication strength. My wife thinks that I should do interviews by listening to the questions and playing the answer on guitar.
Everything in moderation - that's what I live by.
I actually learned the guitar with the help of a Pete Seeger instructional record when I was 13 or 14.
I don't want to be a full-time member of Pink Floyd all my life.
The expectation on me as a solo artist is very different to the audience's expectation of a Pink Floyd show.
Well, I am David Gilmour, the voice and guitar of Pink Floyd. I have been since I was 21.
'Shine On You Crazy Diamond' and 'Wish You Were Here' are standout tracks. 'Comfortably Numb' is another one. 'High Hopes' from 'The Division Bell' is one of my favorite all-time Pink Floyd tracks. 'The Great Gig in the Sky,' 'Echoes,' there's lot of them.
It's a magical thing, the guitar. It allows you to be the whole band in one, to play rhythm and melody, sing over the top. And as an instrument for solos, you can bend notes, draw emotional content out of tiny movements, vibratos and tonal things which even a piano can't do.
