…Because Larry isn’t afraid to get behind the drum kit with some pub-covers-band and bash out a few (U2) tunes with a mate. No rock star attitudes here. Nice. Check it out here.
From God to Gilmour. There’s a transition! Anyway.
Being a budding young… ok, rookie guitar player, I am of course forming opinions about players and sounds that I like – absorbing my influences as it were. One of the current ‘most admired’ players is David Gilmour – I wouldn’t be alone in voting his solo in Pink Floyd’s ‘Another Brick in the Wall’ as one of the greatest of all time. I was watching his latest DVD release Remember That Night, the live gig he played at the Royal Albert Hall last year, marvelling at the things he can do with his hands… I think his music, and that of Pink Floyd can have a real emotive quality; a feel that isnt too far removed from the kind of space and emotion I could happily see in a (long) worship service.
Anyway, what inspired me to blog these thoughts was a great website I’ve stumbled upon: It has all the guitar goodies you could ever hope to read about: Gilmourish! Amazing site. It has loads of info about all DG’s gear, style etc. And even a really good page on setting up your own guitar rig. Pretty cool.
There’s a virtual avalanche of sites out there for my main guitar hero, The Edge, but none so far have been quite so, I dont know, nicely designed…
