Well, that's the great thing. Like beers, youre guitar doesn't mind if you have another guitar(ist) ....all the players you note are faves of mine too, and Gilmour is a great example. Someone who never plays anything flash, but everything is so perfectly placed- the reason they call him God's Guitar player.

The contrast, seeing these guys on consecutive nights was stark to me. I understand Joe, I cant play like him, but I get how he does it. I dont understand how GG does it all, in my mind, he is not just another shredmeister. He plays in almost every idiom, and watching him live, you realise he is often playing in several at once, chicken pickn, neo classical, flamenco, blues- all going on almost at once, and all, most importantly, with such musicality....I think he is astounding.
