I just play intuitively and work the same way in the studio. I don't have any magical effects or anything that helps me to get my particular sound.
From David Gilmour
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.
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.
'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.
No-one can replace Richard Wright - he was my musical partner and my friend.
I don't like to get too specific about lyrics. It places limitations on them, and spoils the listeners' interpretation.
Yes, there's a lot of the blues in my playing.
I love singing. I have spent as much of my life trying to improve my singing as I have practising guitar.
Usually, in the studio, on this sort of thing... you just go out and have a play over it, and see what comes, and it's usually - mostly - the first take that's the best one, and you find yourself repeating yourself thereafter.
Everything in moderation - that's what I live by.
