    Clapton's "woman tone" on "Sunshine of my love", Hendrix's on "Voodoo Child" and SRV's on "Texas flood" are legendary examples of virtuoso pulling off memorable tone.

    So, what've you got?

    I always liked the warm guitar sound of Neil Young with Crazy Horse.

    The latest album, Psychedelic Pill, has a lot of examples of this style.

    Gilmour was the master of tone. Was the only guitarist I can think of who's tone carried the songs rather than his technical skill. Comfortably Numb, Have a Cigar, Sorrow, SoYCD, Time, Money.

    Could make guitar cry like no other.

    What made him bad after you stopped? :confused:

    And why was he pretty good only when you took the lessons? Teacher's pet? -_-
