What's Hot

DG is well known for his superb slow solos, but I was just wondering what his fastest solo is? With Pink Floyd, and/or solo?

Nothing springs to mind for me ....

    Deffo 1986- when I believe he managed 11.47secs  against Roger in the sprint to the Court Room door.

    It was discounted as hot air assisted.

    *An Official Foo-Approved guitarist since Sept 2023.

    There are some rapid lead guitar passages on the Animals album.

    Blue Light from About Face.

    Possibly, his guest appearances with Kate Bush or Pete Townshend.
    Be seeing you.

    There's a pretty fast bit at the end of Gilmour's lead solo on White City Fighting. I think I was almost alone in loving that album.

    Not his fastest but still one of the best is on Paul McCartneys No More Lonely Nights, terrible song but what a solo :)

    Not so much his fastest, but there's a nifty bit of lead playing at the very start of 'In The Flesh'.
    Quite heavy and not typical of Gilmour's sound.

    Didn’t Gilmour play some lead on McCartneys “Run Devil Run” Rock n Roll covers album too ? 

    That was mostly uptempo stuff.

    I think Mick Green handled all the quick stuff.
