Arguably the best guitarist in rock history to get the most sound from the least chops. Haunting.

Your right. He probably has the best sense of melody of all the big rock guitarists, and a great sense of phrasing. His leads are brimming over with these memorable little melodic hooks. I can't think of another guitarist whose solos are more fun to sing along with.

Yeah.

My wife and I watched him on a tech-tv interview last month from a barn on his country estate that he had made into a loft.

He was so at ease and articulate and comfortable. Still pretty dapper looking...or so my wife thought.

My idea of an English Country Squire with a twinkle in his eye. He was quite frank about the heavy Sidney use they all went through and lamented the profound negative effect it had on vulnerable Syd...to the point he became a bit emotional about it and had to stop speaking for a moment.

I know it sounds goofy but I think his genuine warmth in his perosnality comes out in his flowing riffs...not to mention his voice.

A good man...I'm glad i saw them a few times at their peak.

I agree. And among the best guitar tones of all time.
