I'm Pink of Sick Floyd. The Atom Heart Piper is full of Secrets, and I Wish You wouldn't Meddle in the Dark Side of the Wall because, at the Final Bell, we will all be Obscured by Animals, or More than our Momentary Ummagumma can satisfy.
I'll vote Fripp

I must say Fripp; completely revolutionary guitarist. I believe that whoever votes Gilmour, he will hunt down.

Gilmour by miles. His guitar weeps emotion and melody.
Fripp's guitar playing is mediocre in the extreme.

I think fripp is a good guitarist because of the things he does. I think gilmour is a great guitarist because of the things he makes me feel.

Gilmour is basically a glorified blues soloist with a nice touch & very good engineering behind him.
Fripp is a genius, on a level with Django Reinhardt and Andres Segovia in previous generations.
Fripp.

Gilmour for me. It's all a matter of taste. Clearly both are very influential but I much prefer Gilmour. He's one of my very favourite guitarists, great melody, tone and emotion. He easily gets my vote.

Gilmour for me, since Fripp is sometimes boring.

Tosh indeed! It's not about the number of notes played and how fast those notes are played. It's about what the notes do for the listener and how they fit into the song. There are many technically gifted guitarists who think playing a lot of notes very quickly is "great" guitar playing, not necessarily.
Personally, I think Gilmour does more with the notes he plays than most guitar players. When you realize how he massages every note he plays to increase the emotion., you realize it is great guitar playing. That said, Fripp is a "GREAT" guitar player too. He is very, very technical, but he also understands that the notes played have to fit the song. For me this is a tough pick, but I take Gilmour by just a little bit. Personal preference.

Here we go again with this "emotion" drivel. Just another excuse for people who like corny stringbending as opposed to actual playing.

Nothing corny or drivelly about it. Music IS emotional! String bending is an art and a technical aspect of playing and Gilmour is a master of it. Both of these gentleman are master players, their playing styles are very different, their writing styles are very different, but I find Gilmour's playing more enjoyable.
That said, I also appreciate and listen to the playing of MANY other guitar players and all of them play with and bring EMOTION to their playing!

I'm partial to the views espoused by Brian Eno and David Byrne. In their estimation, music is not an expression of emotion but, rather, a generator. When a sap like Gilmour showboats the same tried-and-true pony trick, all I can do is roll my eyes at that sorry attempt at crowd pleasing.
